Hey guys what is the best method to airdrop an erc20 token? I mean, i have list of addresses and the related amount of token I wanna send to them
ADDR1 -> 1000
ADDR2 -> 80000
etc.
Should I create an aidrop function inside the token contract or I have to create another airdrop contract that owns token and send to addresses? Or I should use other methods, like hardhat scripts?

Making an airdrop function inside the erc20 is the cheapest option, as it avoids external contracts calls but if the amount it saves you in fees is not that big I'd use an external contract, to keep the erc20 minimal

This assuming you are opting for an airdrop over a small quantity on a not so expensive network, otherwise other approaches (merkle trees) would probably be more suited

I deployed a couple of shitcoins the last few days and didn’t have an issue

so i create an external contract, i give it a supply of tokens and in that case how can I transfer that specific erc20 token?

Normal erc20 transfer, inside a loop

Or erc20 transferFrom
