large-scale airdrop participation can substantially increase on-chain transaction fees, particularly during claim periods when thousands of users interact simultaneously. The surge in demand for block space drives up gas costs, sometimes making small claims unprofitable. This effect is especially pronounced on networks with limited scalability, such as Ethereum. To mitigate this, projects may stagger claim windows, distribute across multiple chains, or subsidize gas fees. Layer-2 solutions and rollups also help reduce congestion and costs. While temporary spikes in fees are common, they highlight the importance of scalable infrastructure. Ultimately, successful airdrops balance accessibility with network efficiency, ensuring that high fees do not deter participation or exclude smaller users.
