Airdrop tiers
Multi-recipient airdrops are tiered by recipient count. Single Send (one wallet) is always free — use it to pay a contributor or test your distribution before scaling up.
| Recipients | Service fee | When it's the right tier |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Free | Single Send — always |
| 2 – 10 | 0.01 SOL | Tiny snapshot drops, team tokens |
| 11 – 100 | 0.02 SOL | Early-supporter rewards, NFT trait drops |
| 101 – 500 | 0.10 SOL | Mid-size campaigns, holder rewards |
| 501 – 2,000 | 0.30 SOL | Large community drops |
| 2,001+ | 0.0005 SOL × N | Whale-scale campaigns — linear after this |
Solana network fees (~0.000005 SOL per transaction) are paid on top and depend on how many transactions the airdrop splits into. Forge batches up to ~12 recipients per transaction to minimize this.
Atomic with the action — failed tx, no fee
The service fee is a System Program transfer instruction bundled into the same Solana transaction as the action you're paying for (mint, pool init, airdrop). If the action fails for any reason — network error, wallet rejection, insufficient SOL, contract revert — the entire transaction reverts atomically and your fee is never deducted.
The one exception is pool creation: the fee is a follow-up transfer after the Raydium pool initializes successfully. If pool init fails, no fee is charged. If the follow-up fee transfer fails (rare, only on RPC issues), the pool still exists and you owe nothing — it's a non-blocking send.
Where fees go
Fees route to a single hardcoded treasury address that's published openly and tamper-evident. The address is shown in every transaction before you sign — wallet-level transparency means we can't ever surprise you with a different recipient.
The fee instruction is auditable on-chain. Open any of your mainnet transactions on Solscan and look at the SOL transfers — you'll see the exact amount routed to the treasury, alongside the rent and program calls for your action.
Will pricing change?
Possibly. Memecoin tooling lives and dies by gas economics — if SOL price moves materially (up or down), the fees may be tuned to keep covering infra without becoming painful for users. Any change is shown in the wallet confirmation dialog at sign time, which is the rate you actually pay. Public commitments:
- Single Send stays free.
- Devnet stays free.
- Failed transactions never charge a fee (architectural, not policy).
- Any fee increase is announced at least 7 days ahead via the dashboard and Twitter.
How we compare
The "~50% below market average" line on the pricing strip is based on a survey of seven launchpads in mid-2026. Concrete numbers (your mileage may vary as competitors adjust):
| Action | Forge | Market avg | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPL token launch | 0.05 SOL | 0.10 – 0.20 SOL | ~60% lower |
| Token-2022 launch | 0.15 SOL | 0.25 – 0.40 SOL | ~50% lower |
| Raydium pool init | 0.20 SOL | 0.30 – 0.50 SOL | ~50% lower |
| Airdrop (50 wallets) | 0.02 SOL | 0.05 – 0.10 SOL | ~70% lower |
| Single send | Free | 0.001 – 0.005 SOL | 100% lower |
We undercut while we're new and have no track record — the calculation is "lower fees buy us reviews and word-of-mouth faster than marketing dollars." Once Forge has a few hundred paying users, fees may converge with the market.
