# Linkdrop Guide

Used to send NEAR

Mainnet App @ [https://near-linkdrop-mainnet.netlify.app/](https://near-linkdrop-mainnet.netlify.app/campaigns)

Source Code @ <https://github.com/near/near-linkdrop>

## Notes

* Allows you to send a link to anyone. If they don't have a wallet they can create one. If they do have a wallet they can claim the NEAR.
* Can only create 50 drops at a time.
* Download multiple sets of drops as CSV and combine for sending out mass emails (like 3000+ sent during #CreatorsandCommunities hack)
* No in-tool way to get an overview of which linkdrops are used/unused and that information is not part of the CSV download.&#x20;
  * If you have a sheet created from the CSV exports you can do something like [How to use google spreadsheets to check for broken links](https://banhawy.medium.com/how-to-use-google-spreadsheets-to-check-for-broken-links-1bb0b35c8525) or use selenium.
* It costs 1N per linkdrop created. Budget for 2N per linkdrop so that each recipient gets at least 1N.
* Generate QR codes from a list of urls with <https://www.image-charts.com/blog/how-to-use-google-sheets-formulas-to-generate-qr-code>
