Tutorial: Building an Merkle Tree Airdrop Contract using Solidity on Foundry

1. Introduction Airdrops involve distributing tokens to a predefined set of addresses. A Merkle tree is a data structure used to efficiently prove membership in a dataset, which is essential for airdrop verification.
2. Setting Up the Development Environment Before proceeding, ensure you have the following:
3. Foundry
4. Smart Contract Structure Define the necessary data structures and functions for the airdrop contract, including storing recipient addresses and token amounts.
5. Creating a Merkle Tree Generate a Merkle tree using the recipient addresses and corresponding token amounts to efficiently verify airdrop eligibility.
6. Implementing the Airdrop Contract Write the Solidity code for the airdrop contract, including functions to check eligibility and distribute tokens based on the Merkle tree proof.
7. Deploying and Testing the Contract using foundry cheat codes Deploy the airdrop contract to an Ethereum network and test its functionality using sample data to ensure it works as expected.
