Create index.ts:
import { PublicKey, Connection, LAMPORTS_PER_SOL } from "@solana/web3.js";
export const airdrop = async (address: PublicKey | string, amount: number) => {
const publicKey = new PublicKey(address);
const connection = new Connection("http://127.0.0.1:8899", "confirmed");
const signature = await connection.requestAirdrop(publicKey, amount * LAMPORTS_PER_SOL);
await connection.confirmTransaction(signature);
}
airdrop("<public key>", 1);
Step 4: Building and Executing Your Project
Build:
npm run build
Run:
node dist/index.js
Conclusion:
You've learned to airdrop Solana tokens programmatically👩🏼💻! Explore further and leverage Solana's capabilities for innovative blockchain applications.
