FAQ
What is Bonkit best used for?
Bonkit is best used for token creation, campaign-based airdrops, claim flows, and direct token distribution on Solana.
Does Bonkit hold my assets?
No. Bonkit is non-custodial. Transactions are executed directly from the connected wallet.
Do I need SOL in my wallet to use Bonkit?
Yes. Executing an airdrop requires SOL in your wallet to cover Solana network transaction fees.
Which product should I start with first?
Use:
- Airdrop Studio for campaign-based distribution
- Multi Sender for direct batch transfers
- Token Studio if you need to create or manage a token first
I already have a token. Do I need to create a new one?
No. You can import the mint into My Tokens or use Manual Mint in the relevant flow.
What is the Claim Portal?
The Claim Portal is the public page where recipients connect their wallet and claim their token allocation from an airdrop campaign.
What is the difference between Onchain List and Claim-based (Merkle)?
Onchain List stores recipient entries directly onchain, which makes the model easier to inspect but increases onchain storage needs. Bonkit recommends it for campaigns with 500 recipients or fewer. Claim-based (Merkle) stores root commitments and verifies proofs at claim time, which is recommended for campaigns with more than 500 recipients because it keeps onchain storage overhead lower.
How many wallets can an airdrop support?
Campaigns with 500 wallets or fewer should use Onchain List.
Campaigns with more than 500 wallets should use Claim-based (Merkle), which scales better for larger recipient sets.
Should I use Airdrop Studio or Multi Sender?
Use Airdrop Studio when you want a managed campaign with setup, funding, launch, and monitoring.
Use Multi Sender when you simply want to send tokens to many wallets directly.
Why does my token symbol not appear on Solscan?
Solscan has its own token reputation system, so a token symbol may not appear immediately in the explorer even if the mint itself is valid and usable.
If this happens, check Solscan’s explanation here:
Example explorer view where the token symbol is not shown yet because Solscan reputation or indexing has not surfaced it.
