Introducing Airstreams: Enhanced Airdrop Features with Sablier

To further enhance our airdrop capabilities, TokenOps has integrated Airstreams from the Sablier protocol. Sablier, a pioneering asset streaming protocol, facilitates continuous, real-time payments of ERC-20 tokens.Sablier’s Airstream features are  live already on ​​Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Blast, BNB Chain, Gnosis, Lightlink, Optimism, Polygon, Scroll, and zkSync. 

What are Airstreams?

Airstreams are a method of distributing tokens continuously over time, rather than in a single lump sum. This approach leverages Sablier's streaming technology to send tokens every second, ensuring that recipients receive a steady stream of tokens rather than a one-time drop. This mechanism encourages recipients to remain engaged with the project and think long-term, aligning their interests with the success of the token.

Key Benefits of Airstreams

Long-Term Engagement and Incentives: Traditional airdrops often result in recipients immediately selling their tokens, leading to short-lived interest and potential token price crashes). Airstreams solve this problem by distributing tokens gradually over time. This continuous streaming encourages recipients to remain engaged with the project, aligning their incentives with the long-term success of the token.

Controlled and Transparent Distribution: Airstreams prevent the immediate dumping of tokens by distributing a fraction of the total allocation every second. This method ensures a more stable token price and promotes a healthier token economy. Additionally, the streaming process is transparent, allowing anyone to monitor the streams through the TokenOps interface, enhancing trust and accountability.

Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness: Managing traditional airdrops can be labor-intensive and costly due to high gas fees. Airstreams, however, utilize efficient data structures like Merkle Trees to manage large sets of data, significantly reducing gas fees. Moreover, recipients pay the gas fees when claiming their streams, alleviating the financial burden on the project.

Transferability and Cancelability: Streams claimed from Airstream campaigns can be configured to be Cancelable and Transferable. If enabled, both the emitter and recipient of the stream, can at any time cancel the stream, or transfer the rights to the remainder of unclaimed tokens to a different recipient. This is possible thanks to the streams being represented as ERC-721 NFTs, which act as gatekeepers allowing interactions with the distribution contract.

As a campaign manager, you can not only monitor whether recipients have claimed their tokens but also track their subsequent actions with the tokens. This means you can see if tokens are held, sold, or transferred, giving you a clear picture of how the airdrop impacts the token economy. 

Community transparency or opacity: You can decide to show the airdrop campaign stats on the claim page, to enhance community transparency. Or hide them, to make your recipients focus on their allocation and calls to action only.

White-labeling: Airstream's claim flow and claim page can be fully customizable for each project's branding, look & feel, and custom URL. You can be sure that your community feels like they are on our platform and not using any third-party provider.
