airdrop
Supplies from above
An airdrop is a delivery made by dropping supplies, equipment, or personnel from an aircraft, typically by parachute: Humanitarian airdrops brought food to the besieged city.
In cryptocurrency and tech contexts, an airdrop is a distribution of free tokens or digital assets to wallet holders, often as a promotional tactic: I got some free coins in the airdrop.
As a verb, to airdrop is to deliver by either method.
On Apple devices, AirDrop is a feature for wirelessly transferring files between nearby devices: Just AirDrop me those photos. (Capitalized AirDrop is Apple's file-sharing feature.)
