*Airdrops have become an important element of the crypto landscape, and for good reason. By distributing small amounts of tokens to many different users for free, you instantly gain a very large potential userbase.*

You *can* conduct airdrops on any blockchain. A handful of them *can* cope with that reasonably well. But there’s only *one* that has specifically been designed to support the kinds of transaction volumes that a large airdrop requires.

Waves’ consensus algorithm is [Waves-NG](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@wavesplatform/waves-ng-speed-capacity-and-a-bit-of-blockchain-for-dummies), which is capable of processing an order of magnitude more transactions than most other blockchains — quickly and at low cost. Standard fees are 0.001 WAVES per transaction (around $0.005 right now) but it gets even cheaper thanks to the mass-pay function, which is purpose-built exactly for this reason.

That makes Waves an [incredibly efficient and low-cost way of conducting huge airdrops](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@wavesplatform/why-waves-is-best-for-airdrops). The proof? Waves [processed over 330,000 transactions in a single day](https://twitter.com/KarlKarlsson_/status/946105204528820224) on 26 December 2017. 170,000 transactions were confirmed within just 20 minutes, and it is theoretically possible to process up to 10 million transactions per day. Job done in one go.

There have been some great airdrops on the Waves blockchain, and the next long-awaited airdrop at the [Waves Platform](https://wavesplatform.com) is already coming! Ready? Then see the info below on how to participate.
