Bitcoin Forum

After years of disappointment in airdrops of tokens that end up not being traded anywhere like Ethplode and Stabila, I missed on the Arbitrum airdrop, now I am looking for potential real good airdrops. It doesn't have to be in the thousands, a few real dollars are fine for the effort.
I hear zkSync and Venom can be big, I tried SUI but was unlucky to be late and they didn't really giveaway to that many people.
Please let's help each other with real good advice.

If you are intending to go for some airdrops, learn to understand the risk associated while some are nothing than pure scam, in the same vein some are reliable and you can really earn from, research on those in charge of the airdrops, have they participated in any successful airdrop before, check their goals if it's achievable, carry a background check on them before hunting after their rewards, but am pretty sure that we still have some that can be trusted.

The ZkSync has the best chance at having an airdrop but keep in mind it’s months away. And also the network is not cheap to interact.

Bridging is expensive and you need to bridge to both the zksync lite and zksync era networks. Also there are fees such as if you want to use Zksync Lite you need to pay to get the account activated to be able to send anything. And after a few times it adds up. The network is not cheap like Polygon.

I know now the way and criteria to consider how airdrop, retroactive, testnet,... have changed a lot compared to before. The fact that projects have a community approach through some projects such as aptos, sui, blur, arb, ... shows that airdrops are not easy tasks to interact with social networks.
Currently, according to my observations, accepting users who have useful interactions with the project will receive rewards in the future, it is really easy to find projects that have a sharing plan. share rewards for the community. But prominent names like zksync, fuse, venom, scroll, starknet, linea, base... are all mentioned by many communities about the opportunity to have an airdrop to the community, and you can completely research and find out ways to participate.

The requirements for airdrops have become more complicated than in the past, in the past you only had to register and you would get free coins.
At the present time, you need more things, such as that you have used the bridge at a certain time, or you have traded in a certain period or with certain limits, or your personal data, and yet you may not be able to claim airdrops that may rise in the future.

The best profits were obtained in the period of 2018, and among them, the maximum that you can earn is the amount of $1,000 if you are lucky and meet the conditions. This may happen once a year, so thinking about alternatives will bring you a better return.

The best advice I can give, is to work on your account posting habits and quality and eventually earn enough merits to rank up to join a bitcoin paying signature campaign. Using the earning from that you can buy any coin you want or pay for your expenses if your local laws allow it. The bitcoin paying campaigns are like the holy grail of campaigns in this forum, the best side hustles you can get.

If you have any other skills use them to provide services, dont run after aidrops, they are not worth your time which I consider is the most precious thing at hand.

Airdrops are different now from the method we used to do so, there are testnet now but it's not guaranteed you will have your share of the airdrop of the project. What's effective now are retroactive airdrops that involves participating on the mainnet of the project and spend some money of gas or swap of their native tokens that earns a credit towards the payment of their tokens in the future. I participated lots of testnets for a year now but nothing happens lol. Only I get a bunch of disappointments of many projects running these testnet programs.

I think it's not worth getting upset ahead of time. Obviously, you will still have the opportunity to get airdrop after the team launches the main network and gives its users the opportunity to test it. And those who took part in the testnet may receive an additional bonus to airdrop.

Just focus on tier 1 airdrops and avoid wasting your time on projects that will prolly go nowwhere.  So what are the tier 1 projects that have a chance to have an airdrop?  I think Layer Zero and zkSync should be your top two projects to participate in.  Use the protocols associated with them and do it with high volume if possible.

Other projects that could be included in tier 1 that could also do their own airdrops are Starknet and Polygon zkEVM.  Good luck.

But for me personally, I'm starting to poke around Arbitrum Nova.  I think blockchain gaming could make a come back and Nova will be a huge part of it.

Most of the airdrops are just a display of their network as testnet for them to see how the real mainnet may look alike when fully launched, they also uses airdrops to advertise themselves and widespread the awareness of their project through that means, there's nothing much too bad about airdrops as long as we can get a genuine one which could be real and different from others that cannot be trusted.

Bro, stabila was a pure scam in disguise of an airdrop, I saw their bounty campaign here in the forum months back and I heard they never rewarded the participants.
I think you have only engaged in worthless airdrop so far, because from what I recall,  there have been some great and very rewarding airdrop from uni, apt, op, arb, blur, space ID and many more.
And we also have some interesting upcoming ones which can definately do airdrop base on the info from the teams. Such includes starknet and sei have been confirmed. All you need to do is position yourself properly.
Combo with Polyhedra is also another good one, besides the bounty campaign there is an airdrop for testers of the new combo network.

Bounty hunter nowadays are not expecting a big airdrop to every project, they just keep on working and joining a lot of bounty program as much as possible since you can’t tell which project can give that big airdrop as well.

If you’re a hunter, you surround yourself with the hunters as well, they are sharing links and projects to work with, just follow it and expect nothing in return because it may take time before you actually receive the reward.

just follow the retroactive airdrop if in the case of zksync you just need to intereact with the smart contract within blockchain though everything is still not confirmed yet, the qualification might differs to what most have mentioned.
but here's the thing, no one really expects that these airdrops are gonna be big, so you shouldn't keep your expectations high after all, usually the trend of massive airdrop only happening at the beginning of the trend, the airdrops that follows after sometime are usually not worth that much, moreover the events like venom where you gonna get some NFT for testing out their blockchain, but regardless still have no clarification as of now in regards of the airdrops are nowadays being followed by massive amount of people because they thought its gonna be next arbitrum so you can expect whether the rewards gonna be massive or just some measly amount honestly.

Maybe focus on hunting new cutting edge new tech in crypto and if you are lucky they will reward the active users with their token. That's how every successful airdrops have worked. If they announce airdrop before airdrop, it will get botted out and you most likely won't get anything worth money. In fact you most likely end up spending more then airdrop just by using the product in every way you can think of.

That tactic, of actually caring about the project and getting rewarded for it has given me a lots of money via airdrops.

airdrops are so random if you eager to get that share of airdrop you should just try all of the airdrops that you think have potential.
and their tasks various too, if you want to get same rewards like arbitrum get yourself follow retroactive airdrop like many have mentioned.

Airdrops have always been kind of hit and miss but now they are more a miss than anything, personally I do not know why a person will still invest their time trying to claim airdrops, many years ago this was easy to do as in order to get an airdrop there was nothing for you to do, but now airdrops have all kind of requirements and in some cases those requirements are even a secret, so a person could waste a great deal of their time and still not qualify for the airdrop.

Yea this is true. It’s a lot harder to get a decent airdrop which can actually amount to something. Most of these new projects with airdrops go nowhere or they are complete scams to steal seeds or other info.

Years ago there was tons and tons of airdrops and you could make a good living just claiming them. These days you need to be very patient. Only decent ones coming out this year is Layer Zero and ZkSync. And the last good airdrop was Arbitrium which was a huge success.

I'm not into airdrops but I do see discussions and threads where hunters are talking about what's possible project they should chase.

And as you've mentioned zkSync, that's one of the many that I've read that they're talking with its airdrops. Those that have been into airdrops, I guess they've got a lot of list to work with.

But it's gonna consume a lot of time and you might end up with nothing again.

Airdrops on most of the new networks seem now very overrated these days. But I can suggest to you if you really want to try them. Because some projects are already wise and they are avoiding such people that are airdrop hunters who really want airdrop tokens.
Try find some quality projects or chains that you will use it like a normal user where there's no "airdrop" on your mind.

Really?  I never realized there were a lot of airdrops from years ago.  What were the good ones?  I think I may have been missing out.  Lol.  The only airdrop that I've ever received was ARB.  And I didn't even expect anything even after minting the Odyssey NFT.  I just kept on using the stuff they had in Arbitrum for trading.

But all in all, airdrops are a good way to build up additional units for your bankroll, just focus on the good ones.

Why waste time on airdrop when there are many other already established coins you can go for, am sure it's all because of the free nature of how they can acquire some airdrops is what always attract them to this, but they can't always be reliable when applying for them because of the sources to those airdrops projects aren't genuine themselves, many have left the hunt for the newbie in cryptocurrency.

We cannot expect a generous airdrop from the team if they have attracted a small amount of money as an investment. But when investments amount to hundreds of millions of dollars, then we can expect that our testing costs will be rewarded. And such projects today are zkSync Era, LayerZero and Starknet.

I think you should focus in getting airdrops from the already rumoured airdrops like zksync and layer zero.
after all if you focused on some other you might really miss the chance even though the rumours already out and maybe they will be giving out massive rewards.

Yes, you've just answered it.

That's what the airdroppers are taking time and effort and that's because of the free money that they can potentially get from the airdrops. We all knew it that they're not good at all times.

And for sure the airdrop folks are aware of it that they can't get free money at all times because it will depend on how successful these projects are.

There’s nothing wrong to try other project that has potential airdrop since some of them doesn’t give a hint and just rewards those member that contribute ps during their testnet. Hunting airdrop from project that already announced, just rumored or literally no news is not bad if you are not spending too much money on it.

The only time airdrop hunting is so bad is when you are already spending so much fees like airdrop on Ethereum without any guarantee that the project will really drop some rewards in the future.

These are the most upcoming airdrop according to the twitter influencer that I’m following for airdrop hunting:

⚡️Layer Zero @LayerZero_Labs
⚡️ZkSync @zksync
⚡️Venom Network @Venom_network_
⚡️Scroll @Scroll_ZKP  
⚡️zkEVM Polygon @0xPolygonDeFi
⚡️Orbiter Finance @Orbiter_Finance

Venom Network and Scroll currently only work on the test network. Accordingly, the chances that testers will be generously rewarded for such activity are very low. But it is possible that there will be an additional bonus for this when calculating the airdrop, which will obviously be after the launch and testing of the main network.

You are Senior Member, why don' focus on joining the signature campaign paid in BTC? There is a very small chance to earn dollars from airdrops, it is better to do a bounty or a signature campaign. If you want to earn an exact payment, the signature campaign paid in BTC is the best option for you. But it is not easy to be accepted there, you need to have quality posts and earn some merits. You also need to be more active in the forum and engage in more discussions.

Anyway, if you still have the intention to join Airdrops, you can check this link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f_9c8P28dXG5K6DXlHGeTQUww5K8Ft6GgCKYZ8scjb0/edit#gid=2061257832&fvid=1104991341. It may be helpful, but I don't know whether it is trusted or not. So, do your own research first.

Airdrops exist in many ways and formats depending on the developers behind each of them, the most annoying of it all is the trust that is not found with most of these airdrops because at the end of evey complete phase you discover a flopp from them and then after some time you will discover that they have just used you for their own experiment instead of them paying you with the reward as agreed then they proceed not paying you.

Airdrops are no longer airdrop like before and is very risky involving oneself with airdrop especially those drops that requires one to connect their wallets to claim the tokens, there are few of them that are reliable otherwise putting time to search for airdrop is waste of energy why not do some bounty's that pays with usdt. Usually is been awhile I took part in airdrop if not the loyalty reward posted by Bestchange I haven't devoted that time to search for a free rewards, though back then was actually hunting for some free token but just as you said already they are worthless and occupies my wallet for no value.

you have been in airdrops for years so maybe if that is true then you truly understand its nature as you are already a senior member here in bitcointalk means your account has been here for years and crossed along how many scams and legit project are there.
you are already aware of the chance of being scammed ?
never expect much in airdrop as it is only for free mate , work for your living so there will be no disappoinment in the future.
this is also what I observed , those who have rumors will have a mostly good response  and reaction .

I always heard of this project when it comes to airdrops, so maybe this project really has a potential. This wasn't new but it seems it will take some months again before they release the drop.

Well, it's clear that we need a patience here. Some of us already have that anyway. It was Bitcoin who taught us before, so it's going to be easy for now to do it in other projects. The next requirement would be is the capital because you said interacting on Zsync is not cheap? But if we have other cryptos and we think they are getting weaker, maybe we can sacrifice them here for a while for a better return. We can always re-invest on them later on if we still want to.

actually for what ive seen over the years? it looks like those airdrops are being run by almost the same team or group.
the pattern and the way of delivering and how they victimized participants are almost similar to each others.
and mostly happens when their project did not succeed and the victim always those airdroppers .

I also joined airdrop in the past but indeed I never enjoyed being scammed for how many times so instead of continuity ? i denied the case and yes I choose to leave this area of crypto.

if you wanted to earn better then there are lots of ways in this community and not only in airdrop that at least you knew a free money .

I don't know many projects with future airdrop events, but some names are quite prominent in the crypto community lately like layerzero, zksync,venom,... however I know that they are perfect It's not easy to get rewards. Like some previous airdrops like ARB, BLUR, APTOS, etc., they all have conditions to filter out those who meet them. So you can also refer to those criteria to look for opportunities, maybe the market hasn't been good lately, so many projects can't be done on schedule and launched soon, but what everyone Following up on airdrops, testnets, etc. can all bring surprises in the future. I remember in the past there were airdrops that took a few years to pay out to the community, but they were all big money, so nurture those opportunities if you feel like it's the right thing to do.

You need to learn how to distinguish airdrops, which are paid for activity in social networks, from airdrops, which are paid to early users of the blockchain and which are more accurately called retroactive. So it is behind the use of the network at an earlier stage that profitable airdrops are obtained, such as those of Optimism, Arbitrum and many others.

Just to tell you then that chasing gems like Arbitrum and SUI is difficult. What I mean is that not all the time we can find these free drops because not all developers have that kind of thinking. In fact, you have been in the crypto space for a year and participated in airdrops several times but what you have got is just shitcoins and useless tokens, that was the normal situation.
I'm not sure about zkSync and Venom, maybe you can try them but I don't make you have your life and waste your time chasing and joining airdrops, I suggest valuing your time and effort.

I moderately doing bounty hunting and airdrop as well because of the high demand tasks nowadays for airdrops due to mainnet interactions and test reward programs given by new crypto projects. Having such tasks such as retroactive airdrops now are hard because you have to spend money just to be eligible and that's not even guaranteed in the end. Free airdrops now are gone and only people can spend money for gas and fees will have a bigger chance to receive airdrops rewards from these projects.

It's not just about layerzero, zksync, venom and others. Every project, before doing an airdrop, has its own set of requirements to ensure the recipients are those who genuinely contribute and add value to their ecosystem. Take ARB, BLUR, APTOS, and many others for instance. They didn't just throw their tokens to anyone. Participants had to meet specific conditions, which, while may seem cumbersome, ensured the airdrop would reach the right hands.

Your observation about the impact of market conditions on project launches is spot-on. Cryptocurrency, though volatile, is inherently resilient. The ability of these projects to adapt and overcome these hurdles is a testament to this resilience. Its heartening to see your positive outlook. There are indeed many rewards to be had in the world of airdrops and testnets. Who wouldnt want to partake in a reward that may pay off big in the future? We should all keep our eyes peeled for these opportunities, just like our forebears did with Bitcoin.

Airdrops are all luck these days, and if it wasn't luck they would not be rewarding as they are. Zksync, layerzero could be having a token but due to super high speculation on those, even if they do have a retro airdrop, they will be having strict requirements.

Interacting with those protocols will require good amount of $ to be spent, and then again it doesn't guarantee anything. Best suggestion I can give is interact with dapps/protocols where you feel like doing so and leave rest.

Maybe some has been rewarding enough unknown to others because of the approach given to them since most of them now appears as a waste of time, only the beginners are now involved in all these kind of chase, cryptocurrencies has gone more beyond limiting the hunt on airdrops alone when there are other bounties with many opportunities if you could invest on them, they serve more than just what the investors could imagine.

Yeah, i've been dealing up on making huge points on Zealy on having to be able to get some airdrops in SUI but ending up on having none because the team had decided on having no airdrops on which lots of people

specially to those advertisers or bounty hunters who had make out such tasks on spreading up exposure every corners on the net which i could say that it was really indeed effective. It is really just that people who
had done such marketing or exposure didnt really get any rewards or something like appreciation of the efforts on which lots had been talking into it lately, but well there's nothing we can do if they had
decided on that way. Airdrops and bounty hunting is never been that worth anymore nowadays but there are still some projects which could give out tons of money on less effort and this is the main
reason on why there are still people who cant just give up bounty hunting.

In regarding about sites or place, i was aware to those traditional airdrop listing sites and i dont know if they are still existing today or not yet i have long leave out bounty hunting.
So Google would be always your friend on times like this.

he had been in airdrop for many years mate because as I checked His profile he has been here just some years after bitcointalk was created then he has idea what is airdrop .
and about the risk? he seems to already got that and this is the reason why he is asking here now.
and for sure he is taking note of what we are aiming for him to achieve here.

In this case, the chance of receiving airdrop will be approaching zero. Only when interact with a large number of contracts will you have a real opportunity to receive a reward. And the amount of this reward will also depend on other factors that currently can only be known to the project team.

It must be admitted that the current airdrop is indeed different from before,
I think everyone is aware of this so don't be surprised if you join the airdrop and get nothing,
it's better not to get your hopes up on the airdrop.

Zealy campaigns are too saturated, they are rarely worth anything, iirc sui had around hundred thousand participants, I wouldn't expect anything with these numbers.


I meant in a way that there would be less disappointment.

People are no more interested on airdrop because they have discovered that at the end of every efforts rendered it makes no return or anything yielding, we need more of trust in other to be able to refer the beginners into this hunting for airdrops because it will grant them the first avenue needed to start their learning background about cryptocurrency, there's much anticipated from airdrops than the incentive received.

even that doesn't necessarily guarantee qualification since the real requirements was still unknown and maybe that was intentional from the developers side honestly it might be
very well be like the case of sui where there are so many that have tried their test blockchain and ended up dissappointed because turns out the team qualify those that are in discord, so much time wasted
in it and got nothing.
that's why these airdrop hunting only suited for side hustling because it just doesn't guarantee anything never considers this airdrop hunting primary jobs.

Actually these tasks is just speculation that we hope that we will be given airdrop if we interect with testnet and mainnet , this why these airdrops called retroactive airdrop where no Guranatee for airdrop. Sui disappointed testnet users much. some of my friends wasted 9 months in testnet interection without joining discord and did not got any profit while people like me juat joined discord and interected two or three times and given chance to take part in ICO.

Optimism, arbitrum, aptos and Sui airdrop teach me that if any project has only testnet than you should follow all official social page. if project has mainnet already live then we should make atleast 10 transaction, 2 or three every week to be eligible for airdrop

This clarified uncertainties is one of the reason why many people to abstain from looking after airdrops because they know they are nothing than just a testnet experimental offers which amount to nothing at the end than a waste of time though it has also been found useful in helping the newbies through their first stage of learning about making a transaction in cryptocurrency among other benefits it serves, people also give this kind of negative approach or feedback on it because they don't like the way it's scam is fast increasing.

There are few for whom hunting for airdrops, just like trading, is the main job. And this is primarily due to the fact that the resulting profit is not guaranteed and permanent. But getting a few thousand dollars as a reward for your work will be pleasant for everyone.

Try to browse on Twitter community and you'll find there some good threads to read regarding airdrops. I've been doing a lot of it lately but I'm just into the free ones that wouldn't put any money on it. There's another thing with airdrops and they are likely good and that's running a node to be qualified but I'm not into that considering it's too technical for me yet but they are worth it.

with so many scam airdrops it is very difficult to still chase airdrops, in my opinion it is better that you focus all your effort on getting money in the real world and buy bitcoin or altcoins that have some potential to have big increases, at least that could give you good profits in the long term than spending time on projects that are worthless because the big problem with that is that you spend from January to December concentrating on getting good airdrops and when you're in December and you look back you realize that you didn't manage to win anything, not even at least a small accumulated fund you could not have

so at that time you realize that you were just wasting time and that you could have made an effort to buy some altcoin that even if it was a small investment you could have profited and been satisfied with the profit, finally I hope that you alone analyze all the options and decide for yourself if chasing airdrops is still a good option or if it's about time to stop and focus on making money in the real world and buying good cryptocurrencies

Sincerely I haven't looked at any airdrop for so long maybe that is because I have lost interest in both airdrops or bounties and as a matter of fact,  since 2017 altcoin boom,  the sector has not recorded any measure of continuous breakthrough,  but still there has been a high inflow of fake and scam projects who further contributed to the worsening condition of the altcoin market.

Most of the altcoins that run airdrop programs have become proven scams and this has built up a lot of discouragement for most hunters not to get engaged in that any longer.

That's the main problem with airdrops, the project worths nothing until people make it worth something, if people do not work on making it bigger then the price stays low and you get nothing, if people do work on making it more famous then there are too many people and you get nothing. So in the end, there is a cycle of airdrops where you just basically make nothing and that's the issue. If you could make some profit then you would make some profit, but if you can't then it's done.

I hope that it gets to be a lot better, and we should be seeing it do a lot better on the long run if we are right, with the bull run and all, it should be growing bigger and maybe it will help us, it is going to be an issue, but we are going to get there eventually.

Maybe he shouldn't give up yet because there are some other few airdrops one can also hunt for because the good projects upcoming make use of this distribution through airdrops to get their project and coin more recognizable to an extent that it receives the target on public attention and attractions, which means there are still some few ongoing and most rewarding airdrops from reputable developers in cryptocurrency.

Right. There are the old school airdrops, which we are only required to like and follow the project's social media pages and maybe do some reposting. Then there are retroactive airdrops. Not sure if I got the correct term but I think it's also called as retrospective. I'm referring to the ones which requires a capital. The one where you need to bridge, mint an NFT and provide liquidity. This is more popular nowadays.

It's a bit hassle and costly but if the airdrop is legit, all efforts done are surely going to be compensated well. For those projects that don't pay. I think we can always report them to the crypto authorities or regulators and rest assured their project will be shut down later on if they won't settle their balances.

More on Twitter to see potential Airdrops but that's no guarantee whether you will enter as a reward in the team criteria because it's still very absurd to see it, every airdrop has different tasks but for now the most common is to interact in Their network is especially expensive but it's not enough just to interact once but it has to become a routine at least once a month and this is what I know on Twitter, including being included in the Arbitrum airdrop.

Running a reward node will be worth it but it does require some costs to be spent on buying a regular VPS, but there are no guarantees the same as said above, the main thing is you have to be prepared to spend money on airdrop fees now.

Airdrop has become a new way to get real bucks recently with the success of $ARB, $SUI, and $OP, and people continue to farm these new chains with no tokens but the most important thing is what you do with the amount allocated to you. Most people dump these tokens on Day One and move on, which creates problems for the projects because they want a strong community and want the Airdrops users to stay, SUI team discovers this in a difficult way and the chain is more or less a ghost chain now. I don't think these new projects will make the same mistakes and just hand over tokens free of charge without looking for ways to tie people to their chain.

It is possible that everything you wrote would be correct if you did not specify $SUI here, which is not an airdrop. SUI did not distribute its airdrop coins, but only gave the opportunity to participate in the sale to those who subscribed to the Discord server on time.

I don't think that's a good idea, I wouldn't recommend a newbie to claim an airdrop or to try and qualify for it if it's their first time interacting with cryptocurrencies because I don't consider that to be a good one, I would rather ask a newbie to first learn about cryptocurrencies and understand how they work and what is needed to store them, etc. Once they go through that phase, then I can think of suggesting them such things.

I believe it will be a bad thing to have their base knowledge stick to only earning which shouldn't be the case their base knowledge should only be knowledge and that is how they will be able to succeed in the cryptocurrency industry otherwise they will only face losses in the long run.

Right, specially test net airdrop will ask to deposit in their platform, it can be 30$-50$ even more i have seen a few airdrops but there are no guarantee you will get any rewards it’s definitely depend on your luck i think. So, it’s pretty difficult to predict that which project will pay reward or not. Personally i tried with several project and get only from only a project.

Just avoid to join airdrops that ask to deposit, it is too risky. 30$-50$ may be not a huge money, but it is better to use for other good things. For airdrops, it should be free, they mustn't ask to deposit with any amount of money. Most of them ask for KYC, you also need to be careful on this matter. It is our personal data that should be a secret information. If you are not sure with the projects, kindly stop thinking to join the airdrops. Only join airdrops from trusted projects, we must be careful because there are too many cases of scams and our personal data can be traded on black market.

^  I haven't heard of a good, legit project asking for a deposit to participate in their testnet.  Lmao.  That alone should be enough to ring alarm bells in your head and for you turn around and walk away.  :D

Your 30 - 50 bucks might have a better chance of getting you some profit trading a memecoin or making a sports bet if you know what you're doing.

What you can do is find the ecosystem projects of Layer 1 and Layer 2.  If you found a layer one project, it will launch a token with the mainnet launch. If you found a layer 2 project, it will launch a token after some time of the mainnet launch. I will share a list of projects, you can try out.

Eg: Zksync , Starknet , SEI , Layerzero , PolygonZKEVM , Venom , Berachain , Aptos

True even though it's not big money but it's better to avoid that kind of thing,
as much as possible to minimize the risk and we also have to be wise,
lots of free airdrops and we can take advantage of that.

You obviously don't quite understand what you're writing about. If you are asked to deposit real money for testing in the test network, then it means that you have encountered scammers and you should be as far away from such a project as possible. As for the message that you quoted, there we are talking about the commissions that will need to be spent for interaction in the main network.

wow , nice share here mate , Have been following Venom as a friend introduce this recently and yes maybe will partake in this one .
and also the PolygonZKEVM sounds good .
and about those others maybe I will consider checking for a possible engagement .

This has always been repeatedly annoinced and adviced for newbies to always stay away from the influence of these investment scam that will demand a deposit for their spot and begin to lay demands, all these testnet of a thing aren't worth investing on, they are nothing than a waste of time.


One needs to take time to invest on himself before making any other investment of their choice, all these are the included risk on making something to earn from and when we are able to learn about bitcoin trading, it could be a major source for us to earn a profitable income

that's good list but sei is in preparation to launch its own coin. I just hear that if the calculation for airdrop will be based on how many points being collected by its test net participants. The amounts allocated for airdrop is also pretty small at this moment.

Im thinknig about if sei already ended its testnet through blocked.

Despite that these rumored airdrops are not offering any promises or guarantees, I am taking the chance this time. I have missed so many big airdrops like UNI, Arbitrum and Optimism.

I'm bullish in both Layer Zero, zkSync, Polygon zkEVM and Starknet. However, the only downside is if you do not have enough budget every week to interact in their platforms like paying gas fees for bridging, swapping, adding and removing LPs, staking, LP farming, NFT minting, etc.

I am also active in Linea, Base, Sei, Venom, Scroll, Polyhedra, Shardeum, Cashmere, Eigenlayer, Fuel, 5ireChain and others, which they are all under testnet. Already been hunting alpha potential and confirmed airdrops for several weeks now.

I just don't mind how much would I be getting even if it's just small. I'm already happy. Been there done that before with retrodrops like Shapeshift, Dappradar, etc. But hopefully I can experience much bigger. Fingers crossed.

But be sure not to attempt doing multi-accounts or your wallets are at high risk of being tagged as Sybil that would mean blacklisted in current and future airdrops.



They will be having Season 2 as announced last time with more missions than the first one in which I have almost completed them. 16 of 18 missions.

true in testing blockchain usually it doesn't require money to be deposited but instead we can get from faucets, meanwhile the money spent in the main blockchain that is not test blockchain was used for fee.
usually there's nothing charging the testers.

These are just assumptions, since no one knows the criteria for airdrop distribution, except for the team that is silent about it. But we may be surprised again if SEI distributes airdrop, as SUI did earlier. And then all the completed tasks in the SEI test network will only be a waste of their own time.

I usually have very low expectations for SEI about having a possible airdrop. But who knows they might surprise us. It’s much better to lower your expectations so that you won’t get disappointed if in case they have announced something that you did not like.

But I am betting and taking chances rather than just sitting there and do nothing at all. But there are other projects under the SEI network that would have a confirmed airdrop event like the SEI Monsters for early users when the mainnet launches.  

Take SUI for example. Some early users are expecting an airdrop for them, but it turns out that they are only being whitelisted to buy SUI at a very early price before it hits the market.

We just have to be prepared for unexpected stuff like this and acknowledge the risks in both time and money.

i agreed sounds like he got scammed by some random airdrop projects.
usually retroactive when still in testing stages, only requires someone to test out their blockchain not depositing anything, otherwise it would be called production stage.

thats gonna be massive waste of time, i've seen many are so dedicated in doing some tasks in sei but the distribution allocation already revealed to be not more than 1% which is honestly sounds like waste of time already.

Joining testnet is such a boring task but still people believe that they will got some airdrop from doing long worthy more than 15 tasks. personally i did only one task and did more than ten transaction. as far i know , SEI airdrop allocation is very low and only discord kyced member could get this because testnet users are huge in numbers.

I suggest paying attention to the Polyhedra Network, whose investors include Binance Labs. I think that the launch of the coin will be identical to the launch of Space ID, which also had an investor Binance Labs. And this means that soon we may see a Launchpad on Binance for Polyhedra Network.

It's very difficult now to rely on airdrops for revenue and in terms of participating in bounty campaigns, many are complaining that they don't get paid, so it's getting here and it's getting harder to get revenue and I've noticed that new projects are taking out very few allocations for bounty campaigns. I have followed venom and got paid by downloading the wallet application

I also did miss out on all the good rewarding Airdrops. Now I mostly focus on exchanges Airdrops. I don't know about most exchanges,but if you're a Bitget user, there's a good tendency that you'd earn token Airdrops as the exchange frequently hosts events with rewarding prize pool. Currently there's and ongoing event for Wooonen with 6.660M  WOOO tokens for grabs. You can see further information about this on the official Twitter account of the exchange.

the other exchange are having better airdrops, like kucoin and bybit so far has been giving significantly better airdrops than the other.
so I guess if you truly hunt airdrops you should be looking into those two exchange airdrop programs.

It's true that it's a good suggestion and it's better to focus on these two airdrop exchange programs,
we all know a lot of airdrops are ultimately scams and it's hard to find good airdrops,
so it will only waste valuable time.

real airdrop is now dead.
a lot of projects are announcing their airdrop, but it's not really an airdrop since we have to do few, sometimes a lot of, tasks.
we have to dedicate time and effort for it, that's why i don't bother with airdrop anymore.
it's now better to go for exchanges' rewards, such as bonus trade, holding certain token, etc.

Lately im trying to register in airdrops but never get any money from that.
So, i don't think Airdrop is a good idea anymore, maybe if youre luck enough you gonna get the big one such as Arbitrum and etc.
But i prefer to doing bounty works then airdrop.

You should clearly understand the differences between airdrop, which is issued for certain actions, such as subscription, retweet, and retroactive airdrop, in which the reward is given for early use of the network. And that's what the retroactive airdrop from Arbitrium was about, which you write about and registration was not required there.

Yeah, there are several exchanges offering such Airdrops but here big number of participants and end of they you will get 2$-10$ or something like that, most possibly i was participant in BitMart exchange where i got only 2$ worth of coins, i think such Airdrops not lucrative considering other project Airdrops.

there will be no such good airdrops as the arbitrum. I have not found anything interesting for a long time, most often the developers promise one thing and in the end the results are much different from the promised and not in a positive direction.I just don't spend time on them as they just don't make a profit, the good times with drops are over.

there are quite many retroactive airdrops that was forecasted to have just as massive rewards as the arbitrum has. some of the forecasted airdrops are zksync but then again there is no even an official statement coming from the team that they gonna make the airdrops and what qualifiers do they trying to impose against the airdrops participants.
I think its not that the good times with airdrops are over, but usually good airdrop with massive rewards takes time.
its not like they are gonna be giving away rewards everyday.

nowadays airdrop rewards are miniscule compared to back then, but I think there will appear some good airdrop as the time goes.
but right now even though the rewards was miniscule but there are still quite many airdrops out there, but its true that these past few weeks has been gloomy weeks for airdrop hunters.

There will be another good airdrop like arbitrum. I meant you must also take a look at some projects which potentially releasing their own token in the future. There are so many people hunting these tokens.

I guess that if many of them gonna try to chase it. The next arbitrum gonna come in the future. Believe it or not.

Always hope that in the future there will be more good airdrops in large quantities,
I'm sure it's very much awaited because for now there are only a few good airdrops,
hopefully there will be something interesting and we'll see later.

There are already known projects that in the near future will distribute a good airdrop for their first users in the main network: LayerZero, Zksync and Starknet. In addition to these named projects, you should pay attention to Polygon ZKEVM, SEO which has already announced the upcoming airdrop on its Twitter page.

Do you think no more real airdrops?
You must know that people got good money from Arbitrum (ARB) airdrop recently. It is a proof that there is still a good airdrop although it is getting rare.

If the tasks makes sense, no problem to do it. I assume no airdrop that has no task at all. But I agree that we must avoid to do the suspicious tasks such as fill KYC (our secret data) and deposit a certain amount of money to claim the reward. If the airdrops order these tasks, it is better to not join the airdrop because it is too risky.

I think he's more of stating about the current condition of airdrops, not few months back and indeed there has been rarely any airdrop worth the attention nowadays.
but honestly if we see how long good airdrops with good rewards spans with each other, we could say that maybe in half a year there gonna be good airdrops coming out.

The rewards will still depend on the quality of the project. A good project always gives better rewards but good airdrops right now are not easy to do anymore. You need knowledge, time and money which I think less people can have but it's a good thing for them because the competition will be less. The crypto world is now wide.

There's lots of technologies that are already created so I doubt there will be another good project which are unique that can give you a decent airdrop. There are still lots of ways to earn here in crypto and not just limited to airdrops and they are also better, so people should stop being too dramatic about them.

You are one of those who, after distributing such an airdrop as Optimism and Arbitrum had, write posts that they did not have time to interact with these networks and, accordingly, they are not entitled to a reward. It will take quite a bit of time and you will hear again about the big awards that the forum participants will receive, but your wallet will not be among them.

Yes, as if in crypto all we can do is for airdrops,
indeed good airdrops are rare and not what they used to be but that's not the end of everything,
there's a lot we can do to earn here and that's why we also need to learn a lot of things so that we can do more.

arbitrum has been quite long ago though, right now there are actually so many potential airdrops out there among them are retroactive airdrops.
I think people thinking to follow airdrops and until not still gotten nothing anyway should be putting more and more effort.
after all those that entitled to the airdrops they received are usually those that spent their efforts in actually testing the blockchain and doing some tasks, like in arbitrum.
the airdrops entitled to them was their fruit of hardwork testing the blockchain months before.

Any news mate? because after posting this you never update to what you have decided  to enter ?
because there are tons of answers from your question but never give what you have decided here because
so much happening in airdrop and you can choose from every airdrop given here .
so another good airdrop coming? any sharing would be appreciated .

My advice is that if you want to invest in an airdrop project, you must have strong fundamentals and be confident in seeking knowledge about the airdrop that is taking place. The experience that has been experienced can be used as a lesson so that the same mistakes do not happen again, there are many airdrops that have appeared recently, maybe there are some that are suitable for you to learn about the risks and objectives of each airdrop both on ANN, Telegram and their website.

wrong , airdrop is still alive but not as how the 2016-2018 does because now there are more scams and BS airdrop but still there are good one.
actually airdrop nowadays are something like Bounty hunting but at least we are earning something that we are not investing any amount .

what is that exchange rewards mate? can you share some site on that and example.

^  He said it a year ago, so obv he got it wrong as it was really just the start of the airdrop meta.  But if he had said it today, there's reason to think that he's gonna be right.  I mean after Layer Zero, zkSync, Linea and Scroll, what other projects are gonna give good airdrops?  There's Monad at the end of the year but most of the projects releasing next all look like they're gonna be handing out dust like the latest wave of airdrops after Wormhole.

Airdrop trend started decade ago (feel free to correct if it started even earlier), about 2013/'14 where Stellar airdropped to Facebook accounts, then there were Bitcoin forks like $BCH airdropped to $BTC holders, then 2016/'17 during ICO hype where literal shitcoin would have couple thousands dollar value (eBTC, eETH — yes, even names scream shitcoin but they had value, lol), and then recent trend of retrospective airdrop; it started with Uniswap back in 2020, but now it's also oversaturated, people are farming potential projects left and right, change is immanent let's see where this leads.

It's bad to see that you have been retired since last year from this forum. I'd liked to mention if you are totally wrong about airdrop.

- ARB
- W
- ZK
- BONK
- TIA
- JITO

Many more.

Those are the tickers of airdrop tokens were given as a reward for the crypto users. It means what you have said last year is totally wrong. Im hoping you will come here someday to take a look at what you have said above was never coming true.

People are still actively hunting airdrop at this moment. Airdrop is just getting even more massive at this moment.

From all indications you are probably lazy to hunt for airdrop hence you will jump to such conclusion. I mean take a look at how NOTCoin made some people good money all by just tapping your phone occasionally  ;D
Most people made their first earnings in crypto through NOTCoin and that is just tip from the bags of airdrop around. But people like you will continue to fade it.
Wait and see the number of people who will come out smiling after LayerZero and Zksync do their drop.

The changes we're seeing are devs farming their users and giving away dust or the new meta, devs sybil hunting and blocking them from their airdrops...  But yeah, let's see how successful LZ is with their airdrop.  If they are, I think all the other projects that have yet to airdrop will be sybil hunting their own protocols and distribute their token towards real users'.  It's gonna be hard tho but at least one project started the meta.

I heard people were given 50k USD worth of UNI for filling up a form.  Lmao.  This true?

I mean who are real users really? Do people really care for protocol or they just interact for sake of airdrop? I'm sure most of users come under latter category.


Nah, $UNI was worth about $20k ath price, and for eligibility your address needed to have made trade worth $20 USD on uniswap.

You have just said my mind. If the op mine or invest in any airdrop now, he have gained from the project and because of the problem of the op as of that time, making many people to to be afraid of airdrop investment because as of that time, when you have struggled to secure some airdrops thinking thY they would list them I exchange so they can have small gain inside then at the end nothing come out so the investors would discouraged. And according to people pi network token is one of those token that is still floating in the cryptocurrency space.

But the current airdrops that I k ow that is moving forward to be listed soon are Tapswap and Hamster Kombat.

Ah ok...  But still.  I had heard of DeFi summer but had no idea that a lot of guys were being given airdrops left or right.  I also see them at Twitter but I never thought much of airdrops until I was given one by Arbitrum. 

Come to think of it, my biggest airdrops were only ARB and W.  The rest are from the Cosmos eco and are not really worth claiming.  Lol.  And the incentivized testnets I'm in look like they're over farmed except for Curvance and DFlow.

Obviously from what he has said, he finds it difficult to really picky genuine airdrops favourable to him but however, I think he doesn't give it his all because if he does, he would not be talking like this about airdrops. As you have said about notcoin, I do not not doubt it. Notcoin has made people and more especially newbies that just joined crypto newly d have no knowledge as much as he does.

I believe this would leave a remarkable moment for the newbies because it is their first encounter with Crypto and they got rewarded for it in exchange of cool cash after transacting.

In my opinion, everything we don't know yet, we have to need instructions to find it, the same goes for airdrops, before participating in it we have to look for and follow the instructions, so that later we get maximum results, and also don't waste our time later.

I will give you some general suggestion while filtering the airdrops see the previous history of project owners either they have done some project or they are new into the market. Secondly do see the road map of the project and calculate what they are going to solve and change in crypto world.

Then you should keep and eye on the fundamentals of the project. See them closely and then calculate whether the project is able to fulfill the promised roadmap or not. Try these suggestions it will save you from losses.

Road map is a good factor to look at for what airdrops you're going to join and dedicate your time. It's not actually an airdrop at first this time, many of these projects won't have their tokens yet and that's how you're going to join them through supporting them through their apps or whatever they have into their platform to support with. But I tell you guys, not all road maps that are well proposed are going to be followed, no matter how good the project is.

except there are many airdrop that doesn't even have instructions, the criteria always revealed later on.
the airdrop has changed from back then where we just need to submit our address to form or some kind and then we will get airdropped directly from the devs through multisender right now its all about finishing tasks
most of the airdrop that gives many reward though, always burning money to increase the TVL of the project, so there's money to risk, but the reward is higher.

yeah history matter in this case, also seed funding from the big boys, if it can gather millions of dollar, there's big chance it will be a success, but don't get too optimistic yet, because there are hundred thousands people doing the same exact thing.
zksync is great, right now nearing its eligibility revelation, pretty sure its 13th june based on the rumour even then all the information about the TGE still being kept secret by the devs, also layerzero, probably already too late following these airdrops though.

If the owners did a bad project in the past, I don't think they will let their new investors know it or they will become anonymous next because they know that it can hinder their success. While owners who did a successful project in the past are going to be proud and loud, to include their achievements in their new project because it can give them an early boost.

Checking the projects documents like the roadmap and whitepaper must be the first requirement before investing but by there, we are still going to be aware of the owners background. Indeed that even though we think the project is great based on their documents, it is still important to watch them closely. It gives an extra layer of security.

Though there is no doubt that free airdrops these days barely give you anything, there are a lot of good airdrops in the market these days where you might need to participate using some money, like making a few transactions, bridging from one blockchain to another, or participating in dapps, etc., but people are getting good profit from such airdrops from time to time and this is the reason why airdrops have become a trend these days.

Currently, there is Blast airdrop that is upcoming, and a very large percentage of participants are trying their best to have as many points as possible so that they can get good profit from the airdrop. It has become like a competition with these airdrops where people try to do as much as possible to get more money.

^  Here's a tip..  Go for those ones that are under farmed.  There are more than a couple of ways to find out if a tokenless project is under farmed.  And it seems like a lot of people take these hints for granted. ;)  And they're easy to spot too.

Taiko was one example of a project that was over farmed.  Their Discord has a lot of members but the quality of discussions are so low.  That's a massive red flag imho.  Their Galxe also had millions of participants.  :D :D  Another red flag.

If not that you're saying this now, most of the bounties hunters could have set the target for the airdrops being most farmed just as you have already seen with many others before now, they will think funding one in this direction will help to get closer to the right one which can perform well up to their expectations, i think this same logic applies to how the NOTcoin telegram mining first started, it was less hyped and promoted before it becomes real and everyone chasing after.

Now retro airdrops are no longer friendly, many farmers have entered with hundreds of wallets to join and the few airdrops they have been looking forward to are always a lot of disappointed except for the Arbitrum airdrop which really favors the community, for example now like zksynch who is a lot disappointed with the community because they have a lot of interaction with several contracts and NFT Omnibus is not eligible.
Don't think airdrops are easier now because there will be so many farms attacking it, I saw in X there are hundreds of wallets that meet the eligibility, that person is so strong in doing his farm.

^  Yup and I wouldn't be surprised if the different devs of projects that have yet to airdrop are cross checking the wallets that have interacted with their projects with the sybil list made by Layer Zero.  So if your wallet is somehow in that list then you're dead.  Time to make a new wallet and forge a new onchain foot print to set up your chances of getting eligibility to the rest of the airdrops this year.  And better get them as airdop meta will he over soon.

And as said, go for those ones that are under farmed.  There are hints if they are or not.

do  that Mining still profitable? telegram mining is something not a good name for me though I have no idea of that project but since you mentioned it here kindly tell me some story of that NOTcoin?
and really hyped and become real while everyone chasing after?
sorry but this is just the first time I hear about this but if you did then have you earned good profit from this?

Yes, that's right, all the airdrops you take part in have instructions, and of course each participant must follow the instructions given so that you meet the criteria to get prizes from the airdrop you take part in. If you don't follow the instructions from the airdrop, I think you will waste your time without giving any tokens.

Airdrops are high in risk some airdropped assets may be worthless and it is difficult to predict which projects will succeed early on. That you can search for hours and participate in airdrops only to discover that the price of the coin has dropped before you can sell it is not easy to get the right reward so the criteria needs to be fixed. Giving money or personal information to a fake site can also be dangerous, so it's best to follow the instructions before participating in any campaign

It's retrodrop trend, and here often you will have to go without any instructions. There are speculative guides certainly though.


If criteria has been said beforehand and it's overly saturated project, it's likely the airdrop you are farming won't have much value since it'll be much dilluted.

Regarding price, most airdrop hunters tend to care less about the price as long as they get their effort's worth and some don't consider their efforts at all, that even if they get worthless tokens they just don't care.

It totally depends on how good you are in analyzing the projects with potential airdrop. There are so many sites that gave you list of potential airdrop even the site is also mentioned which investors that have been investing their money on such project like the picture below. Why shall you feel worry by getting scammed?
Airdrop is the only way to exchange your time for tokens. You can sell your tokens for money.

https://i.postimg.cc/mrjgSjqQ/blakg.png

As long as you were taking the information from the legit site. It can also decrease the chance to be fooled by the fake link. There are so many legit sites provided accurated data about the projects with potential airdrops.
Airdrop is not a high risk as long as you know how to play it.

It's kinda stupid if you are using your main wallet to participate in the airdrop.

Not really, have gotten several airdrops just because I do everything on the main ethereum wallet (which was created back in 2016/'17), even though there was nothing particular done to be eligible for those airdrops but got eligible cause wallet had activity that satisfied the criteria.

^  Yeah same...  My airdrop wallet has kinda become my main wallet.  Lolol.  I kinda proves that you're not sybil thru your other onchain activities other than the airdrop ones.  And it's more likely you'll get in future airdrops after Layer Zero's great sybil hunt. 

I think LZ devs got close to 80% of industrial sybils' wallets which is a lot.  If they were farming other projects with the same wallets as they did LZ then they're dead.

I recommend joining communities and being a raider, just make sure you are in projects where they value contributions.

To get maximum results we have to follow the instructions provided by the airdrop, because if we don't follow the instructions or rules provided then we won't get paid for what we have done, therefore we don't want to be in vain in participating in the program. We must follow every instruction provided,

I think every airdrop hunter must follow the instructions provided, and that is the obligation of every participant, most likely if you don't follow the instructions provided then your efforts will be in vain, because you won't get any prizes later.

a guy bought a car with money from notcoin. Me which is a a shrimp get ~$80. good enough considering all i have to do is only tapping.

Click-To-Mine(The name sounds hilarious, right?) telegram game like notcoin is still profitable. Notcoin is being developed by notcoin team, the main purpose of this coin to be a telegram mini game currency.

It's getting hyped after notcoin event participants spread if they were able converting their tokens, that they have got it freely by tapping their phone for money.

The gain that came from tapping notcoin was relatively small. Many of my friends were continuously tapping their phones at that time. The excitement arose from merely tapping your phone, and you can then exchange tokens for money. My pals earned roughly $120 from tapping their phones during the event.

How much time did they spend to earn $120 from Notcoin? Frankly, although Telegram games can potentially make you some free money, they take time and effort. All Telegram click-to-earn or mining games promise their communities future airdrops. It's hard to determine which of these games whose teams may fulfill their promises and which will follow Notcoin in the hype it generated.

Have you heard of Hamster Kombat before? I think it has begun to gain some decent popularity, but no one knows whether the airdrop they will launch will be worth the effort or a waste of time. As for me, I am not interested in these games, as I can extract more from my investment profits than the profits that I will make from these unentertaining games that drain my phone's battery.

Lol, i believe it really depends on your appetite.
I'm 3 days 15 hours away from scoring $250 worth of $PROM from the Prom Sprint Ecosystem Rally on Zealy.
Well, maybe its "barely anything" for someone, but it's good enough for me.
Especially given the fact, that I only spent around 4 hours to qualify for this airdrop.
Basically its a number of standard Zealy task (around 100 of them) which mostly revolve around twitter posting.
Quite easy, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to like and repost.

The hardest tasks were to write a couple of reviews and I had to use a third party app once or twice.
Each task grants a set number of points plus additional bonus points.
The participant who accumulates the most points secures the top spot on the leaderboard.

To be frank, I must say that I am really good at writing reviews, so my results are above average and not everyone will be getting hundreds of dollars.
But everyone in the top 200 leaderboard will get at least $30 which is a great deal for a few hours time.

Importantly, the timing of your participation does not impact your chances;
even if you start on the last day and outperform the current leader, you still have a shot at claiming first place.
Best part is that anyone interested still has 3 days left to join and do these tasks.
Who knows, maybe you will knock me out of my pedestal and take my money, lol

Of course Hamster Kombat is now popular in my area where my neighbor is a housewife who doesn't know anything about crypto, she plays Hamster Kombat because of the influence of Tiktok videos which spread a lot of this video to FYP so that people don't know follow it.

I think Hamster Kombat has gained high popularity where users are more than tens of millions according to some news I found, I don't know if this is earning or not but I still try to play with Hamster Kombat. Hahaha

I’ve encountered several airdrops that don’t cost extra, but they mostly involve unknown tokens created to attract users. I looked into UMT, the premium token of the UTON Blockchain ecosystem. UMT owners can access venues, shops, and yield mining. To get UMT tokens, you need to join these two events:

Ⅰ. Elf Garden

Participate in the "Team Garden" of Elf Garden by 23:59:59 on July 8, 2024, to receive 20 UMT for free.

Team Garden Details🌐: Link

Ⅱ. SHANHAI

Join the SHANHAI event and complete tasks to get 20 UMT. Event details:

✅1. Event Duration: June 22nd, 00:00:00 - July 8th, 23:59:59

✅2. Meet the cumulative recharge conditions to get UMT redemption props;

✅3. After the event, the system will airdrop UMT tokens based on the number of redemption props;

✅4. Bind your game account with your UM Club account in advance. If you don’t bind your accounts, you won’t receive the airdrop and will forfeit the reward.

Along these lines some are dependable and you can truly procure from, research on those accountable for the airdrops, have they partaken in any fruitful airdrop previously, really look at their objectives in the event that it's feasible. he bitcoin paying efforts resemble the sacred goal of missions in this gathering, the best side gigs you can get.

I agree with you and understand what you mean about using your old wallet address to get the Airdrop, that's the right decision because usually they see that the wallet looks active so the chances of getting the Airdrop are very large compared to using a new wallet..

It turned out zk didnt give the community a fair share there is a ton of people didn't eligible for the drop while venom is didn't give much to airdrop people.

Airdrop is over saturated right now, like every project now has a airdrop for testnet and retroactive but the farmers out there is getting out of hand and the real user get less and less in my opinion. Right now airdrop is very crowded and need a cooldown in my opinion.

If you want airdrop like arbitrum and optimism uni and ens hmm dont bother i dont think this kinda airdrop gonna happen soon

Airdrops have not given users or testers what they wanted lately. The fact that the market is red has a big impact. The other reason is that Airdrops really give a feeling of saturation in the market because there are L2 projects and testnets everywhere. Since many people are flocking there due to the excess demand, I think the desired profits are not being made, at least not as before.

Not too much honestly compared to other game like hamster kombat that you mentioned, I remember back in november 2023 people with telegram account could get 10k not easily and after few months around early 2024 pre market for this coin already available. So, notcoin is wrapping things up quite fast enough.


hamster kombat is heavily farmed game, I bet it will be too diluted, there are industrial farming going on with these game consists of many people that runs bots if i'm seeing from twitter, etc.
I think it'd be a complete waste of time, but honestly its just my opinion, who knows if the valuation of this coin could jump so high.
but honestly the team of hamster kombat really like to milk their users, not a good sign.

sorry friend,,,!!! I personally am not at all interested in airdrops, this is not without reason, I am very disappointed and tired of participating in airdrops, because of the many airdrops that I have participated in the results have been very disappointing, and for the time being I will not follow airdrop,

Too much player and the devs like to screw people up is the main reason.

so many projects also aren't transparent with their eligibility criteria which I presume is intentional so to avoid backlash and also they probably like to pull some string behind scene and don't want people to find out.
right now the airdrop isn't as good as before and arguably we're coming at the late stage of airdrop where most of projects that did TGE have their valuation tanked because there are too many projects already.
so many projects released where the demand slowly fades ;D.

It's called retrospective airdrop for a reason (i.e, not having eligibility criteria revealed beforehand).

Airdrops have been long been like that since $UNI airdrop back in 2020, not giving eligibility criteria beforehand was one of major cause of airdrops being worth a lot, otherwise everyone would be farming the criteria and diluting the airdrop.

...And I don't think projects can be blamed here, projects (at least genuine ones) are trying to avoid giving farmers piece of pie, and it's legit hard to filter genuine users amongst those who are good at faking that they are genuine users.

Agreed with you, they are retrospective airdrop and the fact that they hold from revealing eligibility criteria is to filter out genuine user and to avoid people using the project just solely for the purpose of farming
and personally I don't blame these project that reveal eligiblity after TGE (in which the campaign has ended so revealing eligiblity is fine) for the sake of transparency.
However, some project that i've followed don't even reveal eligibility after TGE and campaign ended which means they like to keep it secret, so there's no deterministic way to calculate how much rewards an individual is deserving of (after TGE).
this kind of project is what I think rather problematic since they are not really transparent.

There is type of breed in projects which take advantage of current airdrop trend and 'farm the farmers' and eventually they don't give any reward whatsoever.

I have been farmed like this in few and eventually you come to figure such projects intuitively, and automatically learn to stay away from them. Experience is best teacher.

On the moment that you would really be dealing up with airdrops then never ever make yourself that kind of expectation or positivity that you could really be able to make yourself
that being that too in a rush on the moment that you would really be dealing up with projects. I do agree on that Arb airdrop on which it did really that resulting into missing out those good
projects but actually there's no easy way that you could really be able to make yourself point out those projects on which it would really be ending up to be valuable. There's no way that you could tell
on what would happen ahead on a particular project. This is why even if we do say that bounty hunting is still that needing up that luck on which it would determine whether you had
been able to deal up with the right project or not.

This is actually that you could really be that inevitably wont really be able to encounter or experience on which we know that only into those people who had been decided to take up this
unpredictable space then it would really be that up to you on which one would really be hitting up. This is why to those people who do have that sufficient time that they could
really be able to make up some good time on finding up projects.

Yep, a lot of projects misuse the trends and cheat their community after the release, I don't understand how such projects can be successful after getting so much backlash from the community for not incentivizing them for what they did because these users are basically promoting the shit out of these projects for a drop and if they aren't getting anything in return, they have all the rights to have a backlash at the project and its management because they didn't do what they preached.

This is the reason why they don't reveal the criterion or even the details about their airdrops beforehand because they know they will have to change everything when the end is near, Pixelverse is a project that did the same thing just recently, they gave their early users tokens but put them in staking and users can't withdraw them because if they do, they lose 90% of the tokens, lol.

That's the reason such cunning projects don't see success, look at Starknet [1] — it received huge backlash from the community after the airdrop, and now the chain basically dead.

Regarding Pixelverse, It would be better for both the project and users, if they give option to lock airdropped tokens for extra allocation, and those who want to withdraw initial allocation, can do so instantly.

We can really be able to say that community is really that something which these projects should really be focused on or something that they would really be showing up some respect and not really that making themselves being too greedy. On the time that they would really be making up some unfair treatment towards into the community specially to those bounty hunters or any other or even just
making up some advantage to those presale buyers then this project would really be having that kind of huge impact into the project on which same as you had that describe about Starknet on which
i do see this one is really that a good project when it comes to utility but on the time that they have done something shit into the community then its not shocking that they would really be kissing on the ground.
Bad impressions will really be leading into the demise of a certain project and this is why it would really be just that right that they should really be trying out to avoid.

Just take a look into those projects which does have that create too much noise just because of the bounties that they are giving on which it is really that one of the biggest or even the biggest in the history
of airdrops where this one might not really be that much to be heard or something in concern but this could really give out that kind of positive approach towards the project on which this would really be helping
out for it to be climbing up into the ladder. Project which does give out that negativity will always be ending up on a disaster.

I do remember that airdrop on which it did really make out that huge noise into the market on which its something that cant really be forgotten. This is the beauty when you are
really that showing up importance in the community on which on the time that it would really be making up some good or positive noise then it will really be giving out that kind of positive
impact into the project itself on which we know that this couldnt really be that be able to deny that it will really be having that kind of role on which you would really be needing
up to consider on the time or moment that you do find yourself dealing up with this space.

I've been asking in the other thread but nobody will give some answers, so I'll ask here...

What's a good way to get the nad role in Monad's Discord?  Been hearing some words going around that to get eligibility in their airdrop you need to be a 'nad' and stake in some of their partner protocols.  There's no official list on what those protocols are but from what I'm seeing PYTH and Wormhole are two of them.

true, if an airdrop eligibility is announced, the airdrop may result in a small amount or be attacked by the community and airdrop hunters. but if the project holds an airdrop with a secret, it is likely that the airdrop from the project can result in a large amount for the community, all of this is full of challenges. because things like that often happen. from the first airdrop UNI learned a lot about secret airdrops

bounty is valueless nowadays, i am left it from long days ago, i think now participating in the bounties campaign it's just waste time.
last time i worked in a several project but still no payment i get, so if someone expecting high to working in bounty but end of the day will be very disappointed.
peoples can work tap bot airdrop if luckily one is hit then big profit.

^  Stick to the potentially big ones like Hyperliquid an Monad.  Most of the projects promising airdrops lately are just farming the farmers for engagement and they pay you like 10 bucks for all your effort.  Lol.  But the funny thing is there are still those guys who are willing to do them.  :D :D

Anyway just found put that Kroma airdrop is close.  Let's see if it gives a good airdrop for Kroma Quest Master NFT holders.  ;)  I need my stimmy...

Notcoin was success because not many people were aware about it, the less known the project the higher potential of making money, meanwhile now every tom-dick-harry is riding the hype of Notcoin's success which is why IMO all the current clickers are going to fail.

Yeah, it became a trend, it's both a blessing and a curse of it, basically ;D

But it sometimes depends on the project if they want to be generous or not.  A lot of the unknown projects in the Cosmos eco have given airdrops worth just less than 10 bucks.  Lolol.  And there are more known projects like Arbitrum and Wormhole which rewarded most of their users with more than 1000 USD.

And I'll say it again, I think Monad will be a generous airdrop if you have the nad role, got the steakorrr role in Wormhole's Discord and if you got at least 10k PYTH staked.

Edit:  Any of you have the nad role itt?

For now you could really be able to differentiate possible good airdrops when having these kind of tasks.

-Adding liquidity
-NFT possession
-Discord role
-Galxe
-And any other tasks on which you cant be able to see into most common airdrops nowadays.

Although it wont really be that an assurance that the project will really be giving out that worthy bounties for those who had participated but at least
you coudl really be able to tell that this is something that much better or having that potential considering about the tasks been given. As long it wont really be that
being saturated then it would really be just that fine but if it does have tons of people involved then i dont make myself that expecting too much when it
comes into this condition because usually you would  really be ending up on getting some peanuts.

^  Galxe (and other similar sites — QuestN/Zealy/Layer3) tasks are usually fruitless when comes to airdrops, most project either ignore such platform participants or give peanuts.

Also, tasks themselves being monotonous, time consuming and boring — you are better off directing efforts involved elsewhere where you are better rewarded.

^  Yup...  Sadly.  But it doesn't stop me from clicking buttons 'just in case'.  Lolol.  :D :D :D

Anyway, I think the Discord roles that are in Monad and Wormhole will pay really well.  We already saw the guys with the nad role got 8000 W tokens.  That's like more than 8k USD at the first week when W started trading.  Some roles in Wormhole Discord got good airdrops too.  As for PYTH, the top 10,000 stakers got 2000 W tokens.

So yeah...  Don't fade Discord roles and staking in those projects.  Their core members used to work together as high frequency traders, so there's a relationship there.

You have been once disappointed in some of the airdrops in the past doesn't still make it what you cannot try your best in participating on others, but we may not get the required result form all that we apply, some could be rewarding and some may not, this is the risk everyone is taking to participate, if you think its worth going for, then make research about the ones you're having in consideration before participation and take it a fifty by fifty chance or loss or win.

We do know that there would really be those individuals who do really easily give up or really that getting discouraged on the time that they would really be experiencing those disasters on dealing up with bounties.
Some how its true that it doesnt really give out that best feeling that you have put up some effort into something but ending up on not to be eligible or you do end up on getting some peanuts. You will really be
that mainly thinking and making out generalization that all of those bounties out there are already considered shit and not really that worth for you to time to engage on and this is why on the time that they would be having those impressions then they would really be just simply stopping on dealing with it. Somehow there would really be those individuals who dont usually stop and would really be that persevering on joining as much as they can as long they could really be able to do on what are the tasks given then they would really be dealing up with it and hoping that they can hit up a good project one of those he/she deal up with.
Its not a wrong mindset but thinking about on the effort and the time that you would realy be needing to apply, then this is something that will really be hindering out most people on doing so, not unless if you do have
all the time that you do needed then it wont really be that an issue but if you are a person whose busy on other stuffs then bounty hunting would really be that off into your considerations.

I agree, it's usually not worth it. There was a different time, however, when the drops were not so common and every project had something to offer for their community. But this time had passed, unfortunately.

^  Kroma's upcoming airdrop is gonna base the amount of tokens distributed on Galxe points for Quest Master NFT holders.  See let's see how that pans out.  Crossing my fingers and hoping it's gonna be good as most of my past airdrop monies are all staked and holding tokens in Hyperliquid...  All of which are in the read atm.  Lololol.  I need the stimmy.  ;D

As for my question on who among you guys have the nad role remains unanswered.  So I'll assume none of you hold the role or even have full access in Monad's Discord?

I don't even know what we are supposed to blame them for? Not giving everyone free money? I understand the purpose of announcing those airdrops beforehand as they get more eyes to them and maybe try their system if that's a requirement for getting part of that airdrop, but imho it doesn't make any sense. It just invites bots to the party, and literally everyone new will be there to dump that free token.

Rewarding retrospectively is the only way that makes sense. And because those users get rewarded just because they were fans and using it anyway, it gives them incentive to spread the word. And when the time of airdrop comes and makes few people rich, every news site will mention about that project, because that's news that people want to hear about. So it's basically free press that has only good vibes written all over it.

^  As I agree that genuine users are those ones that should be rewarded the most and that they're hard to filter, one way to prove you are one is your willingness to hold a token even if it isn't doing well price wise.  Being an active community member in Discord or TG even if the project isn't doing so well is another way to show that you're in it for the long haul. 

So yeah, all in all I think Monad is gonna roll out a sweet airdrop for the guys who have the nad role and who have been staking the tokens that they have partnered with.

I hope it will be this way, but the expectations shouldn't be put too high, just like with any project, really ;D

airdrops looks kind of two types paid and risk free airdrops, so who don’t want to take risk in paid airdrops they can participate in free airdrops, telegram bot airdrops is much trendy and paying good profits in recent time from some project, ton was big and they paid big rewards to their users and then now dogs.

Those airdrops on which it would really be requiring some funds for you to participate like adding up some liquidity, testnets and other similar stuffs on which it would really be requiring some gas.
Majority of airdroppers would really be skipping out on doing such thing because they cant be able to bare up with the risks and not really wanting to spend a dime with dealing with airdrops.
All they do want is free of charge or something that they wont be spending something but in nowadays airdrops then it would really be mostly into those projects that having this kind of
tasks on which it turned out to be something worth when it comes to the rewards given but of course it wont really be something that will be an assurance considering that not all project that
made out such tasks or bounty would really be ending up on having that value in the end. So its a matter of risks too when you do decide on taking up such risks.

As for looking for gems then it would really be not easy because it will really be that a hit or miss kind of stuff because not all good looking projects do hit up some moonshot.
Projects do look like shit are rather shooting up to the moon rather than into those projects which does have a good roadmap or simply utility.  Leads?
be careful into this one because there would really be tons of scammers and fraudsters would be spamming out their scam project links. So better be wary about this one.

Dogs, for example, was almost a non-risk project with around $5 intact for everybody ;D The only risk now is that TON chain is not be able to go through the whole deal.

I'm in the mood to click buttons again...  ;D  Post some of your favorite testnets, Galxe campaigns and Zealy quests below.  I'll do them all.  :D

If there's a time to start looking for airdrops again, it is def now!  The market looks like it's starting to recover lost ground and with that, the guys who were grinding airdrops are now busy trading.  That means less competition in getting eligibility.  ;)

Keep clicking...

Even Testnet, Zealy, Interact and also Galxe are very few who do it in my opinion, most people today are busy besides being traders they also hunt on airdrop mini apps on telegram instead of doing those tasks, tens of millions of users they prefer to chase points on that application, with many airdrop bot programs on telegram most people will be ignored airdrop tesnet campaign, and that is a good opportunity for us now.  ;)

Yeah, mini-apps became a new meta of sorts, the hyped one ;D
Though, the drops there are fishy sometimes at best.

Maybe the airdrop clues are opening up on telegram, I've been looking around other platforms the traction and participation is fading and the real campaigns are starting on Telegram, they seem to have some tools with telegram but overall the projects launching airdrops on telegram are impressive. Of course I'm not talking about the value, it's not like Hamster Kombat but we can try ? right

Usually, if we see the most hints from referrals, and it is very detrimental to those who participate and beneficial to those who are followed, if possible, search directly from the source directly on telegram., Until now maybe because it is still relatively new, it clearly gives a surprise, so that everyone looks very good at the airdrop that is done via telegram, but basically the same as the bounty on the forum, there are always still many frauds that occur, there are also those who are paid not according to expectations whose followers are very large but what is obtained is not equivalent.

My suggestion, if you see a potential from a project that provides airdrop, then you should do it. However, the task of airdrop is usually not too heavy. It is very difficult to determine which projects are really potential. In fact, projects like Hamster are very big, and people think that it will provide great benefits, but the current fact is that many people are disappointed. However, a project will not be known whether it will be profitable or not until it actually pays and enters the market. So, when you feel that the project is good enough, then work on the project.

Hamster was too saturated as most of Telegram tap-to-earn projects are, they are all riding the hype of Notcoin's success, and Notcoin was only success because it wasn't saturated.

If you see a millions of users doing something, it's highly likely it won't be worth much.

Also if there is no use-case to it whatsoever, but, yeah, more people = less money for everybody involved. Simple truth, yet many out there thought HK would be a life change. Some even quit their job for it.

Yup..  The secret to airdrop hunting these days is, and it's pretty obvious, look for those ones that have a low follower count in Twitter or X or whatever they call themselves these days and a low member count in Discord and TG but with a community that's vibrant and active.  The devs interacting with the community is def a good sign too.  When you have that and you join in, just wait til the project gets some money from the VC's.  ;D  And that's your final confirmation that an airdrop could be on the way.  And by that time people will come in droves but you've already established yourself and have already done all the stuff needed.

Agree, indeed the task is not too hard, but the time provided quite robs us of ourselves, when we have to follow up on whatever we have to work on. Finding the potential is, of course, also difficult, because based on the number of participants, it seems that many are paying accordingly, so many are disappointed with this incident, but everything is determined as such.
In my opinion, usually if there are too many followers then it will certainly not be good, but if the participants are ordinary, maybe it can be profitable. Everything is now determined by you if you do feel a good project followed but if otherwise abandoned.

Doing airdrop on telegram mostly will become a penny of worth's. My only success with airdrop is with Supra. I got $600 worth of token but it staked for 15months. Well free money..

You guys want airdrop leads?  I found one...  Not sure if it's gonna pay big but their community in Discord looks strong and it isn't too overcrowded yet.  Check out Shogun.

https://www.gun.fun/

it's an abstraction layer.  Well at least they're trying to make one.  Lol.  But yeah, the thing with these things is it could be the future of trading in crypto now that we have multiple chains and multiple dexes.

I have seen very little success with Airdrops. In the past, I used to work on airdrops, but I did not get any success in return. That is why I retired from there, to increase the publicity of the project and to increase the holding or holder in general, I promote it in the locality.
I rarely hear about Airdrops being successful, but currently Telegram Tap Tap has become very popular. I have received a small payment from here.

there are plenty successful airdrop recently in this bullmarket but most of them requires money, usual with their staking program give good ROI of 50% in just few months and YT pendle gives 10x with usual project.
hyperliquid, magic eden, move and so many more are actually successful, but yeah it requires tremendous effort that I don't think majority of people can get the same worthy reward, silver lining is, if you think your time better spent elsewhere to maximize productivity, maybe airdrop is not for you but if you just want small side hustle to fill in your free time, airdrop is definitely for you.

personally I liked money staking-based airdrop more, because I can do other thing.

Their design and aesthetic are at least something cool to look at.
Loved their interpretation of "1 MIL BTC WON"  and the consequences of it ;D
TG bot, chats, community... But more analysis is needed, truly.

^  Yeah, but you need to get in their Discord and grind roles tho as it's a gated server.  It sucks as you need to gain a little bit of reputation to get in their beta testing group which means you get a higher chance of getting an allo in their airdrop.

Anyway, another project which could give a good allocation is Curvance.  They have an incentivized testnet and premarket LP might be starting soon.  Go check them out.

That's what I did too, the return is just not worth it and I believe we should not really consider this to be a big deal at all, because it is not really that much of a big deal, it doesn't work that well on the long run. I get that it may feel like a much better deal for some people, but for the time being it's actually as good as it gets and we cant consider this as profitable, because it requires way too much work and pays very little in return.

Lots of people are making a mistake by trusting their time for this, and because of that we can't really do anything that profits us based on how much time we spend. If you chase airdrops and on average make more than five dollars an hour for our work, I would say it worths it, but unless you hit some thousands and thousands from some project, you won't be making that much money at all. Hence, the best thing about this is that we need to consider how things could be very different and could be not profitable at all.

That is not bad at all for a free airdrop. I don't really know good sources right now to find promising airdrops (sometimes this forum has good suggestions) but in the past there were a couple of nice airdrops that paid quite high (including uniswap and years ago bitcoin cash) and the requirements were quite easy (especially for bitcoin cash).

Just found out bitcoin cash has an airdrop? Isn't that the hardfork coin of bitcoin? Or a coin that mimics bitcoin?

The forum does not provide information about airdrops only a few people share it, if you want to find airdrop sources you can join some special airdrop channels or on twitter which is so much information about airdrops.

To find a promising airdrop is difficult, you must be able to analyze yourself and assess how the project is.

I also have this mentality but mine is subtle since it's not based on experience. I have shallow exposure to airdrops and have participated in a few from when Hamster Kombat was launched. Though, i was able to get some profits during my participation in Catizen and since then, it has remained the same. What do you think is more profitable than the airdrops and will require same energy, more or less in the industry?  I've seen people who cash out huge amounts of money using same airdrops.

Even myself cant remember if BCH did have an airdrop because wayback before on which bounty are the ones which do make out some popularity and ICO times where it is really that golden opportunity for you to hit up with good projects on which if we tend to compare into now then it is really that totally different. Although, years had passed on which bounty hunting is still that relevant or really that still happening even up to this moment but the rate of success had come down drastically over the ages or years passing by due into that saturation on which basing up on the number of coins/tokens that we do have in the market today and the numbers are keeping on increasing and thats why investing will be that too hard and more riskier in compared into those past time. Trying out to have some leads? This isnt something possible because finding out hidden gems or project does have potential on increasing up its price on 100-1000x manner is very that challenging to find up and also you will be needing up that diamond hands if you do really want on having these kind of gains on which only a few will really be able to achieve or experience on. This is why bounty hunters will really be keeping on making engagement until they will really be able to hit up the right project and made out some free money out of zero investment and really just that only their time and effort.

Supra airdrop is indeed interesting and gets a large allocation, it's just that we can only withdraw 10% of the total we have, and the rest is staked for 1 year and three months, and what annoys me is that it was opened during the bearish cycle, precisely in Q1 2025, I got $ 1k here.

Some new airdrops like $ Pengu + $ Vana are being discussed because they have given a fairly large airdrop to their community, did you get it? in the airdrop it is not certain, so make it a special sideline.

It is sad that when there's a need to use some cash on it, they shouldn't be called airdrops anymore. But they can be par with liquidity providing and as well as other task from these projects that requires money. The airdrop that we know are for free and all you have to do is to do some quite effort on it and wait until the listing and distribution happens. So, it's not that at all anymore as you've said, after HK, Catizen, dogs, notcoin and all of the other successful TAP projects, they're no longer the same today. Still, I am seeing some wonderful airdrops that do happen like the most recent, the penguin airdrop.

Bitcoin cash technically might not have been an airdrop, but when it got created, you got on a lot of exchanges (like Kraken) a 1 to 1 ratio of the amount you had in BTC. If you were holding a nice amount of bitcoin, this was just free money as the price also shot up quite high of BCH.

That's airdrop. You do have bitcoin, then you get bitcoin cash for free caused by you have bitcoin. That's what we called that as airdrop. Calling it as a free money has not different meaning than airdrop.

The point is that doesn't really matter what people sentenced it as a hardfork, free money or etc. It's airdropped to the all of bitcoin holders for free.

You don't need to mine it, or even spent pennies to claim it.

Sounds like a drop for sure.
Some drops require you to pour something in it beforehand, some - don't.
I just didn't ever try to look at it due to its reputation.

I will advice you go into crypto investment instead of chasing after airdrop you can start with a little capital, because for me chasing after airdrops is just like a waste of time to me. Airdrop nowadays is no longer the airdrop we use to know before, just imagine the years you spent in doing those airdrops had it been you spent those years in crypto investment I'm pretty sure you would've make a lot of profit. I know sometimes you can also experience lose in the market but it can never be compared with the profit you will make within this years, Let's say for instance you invested in bitcoin and you where patient enough to hold on to it till this time just imagine how much profit you would've made now that bitcoin has skyrocket. However like I said earlier my only advice for you is that you should try and raise some capital to start up crypto investment, I can't recommend you to any airdrop reason been that I don't pick interest in doing those airdrop projects.

Actually, we can do airdrop while we are investing in crypto. Sure, it is not a wise decision to focus on airdrop only, many of them just waste our time. I've the same view, current airdrops are no longer the same as the previous airdrops. If we could get some jakpots or huge money from airdrops in the past, it never happened again nowadays. So, airdrop is no longer very profitable job in crypto, investing or trading look more convincing for the future. You're right we can use small money, it is not a must to use thousands of dollars.

Currently, drops are in disgrace a bit, in my opinion - not lots of options that would lead to somewhere good, and the options are not scarce to the point that there is nothing to choose from, it's just that the focus currently is on different things.
So it's wise to have a backup plan in such a case.

From my observation: I have been participating in airdrops for a long time; in 2022-2023 I was very focused on retrodrops, on 2024 I did only few, but during last 3 years, I have earned about only $300 with them. More profitable was spending time playing Pixels game during its beta, pre-launch or whatever it is called. The time I have spent on airdrop, I would better spend analyzing which old altcoin I should buy for holding, or do scalping. 

Here's an airdrop lead...  For you guys who are active in CT and who have a decent number of followers, it's prolly good to collect some yaps and join the leaderboard at Kaito.

https://yaps.kaito.ai/

The thing is to have some 'smart followers' and that could be enough to get you some yaps which could translate into an airdrop.  But as usual, dunno...  But you don't lose anything by signing up and joining the leaderboard.

So yeah...  Stay safe out there guys.

It's usually the case with the drops, unfortunately.
It's nice to be rewarded, but then you consider the time you spent and if the reward is not that big.. You either mourn it or smile and keep pushing.

^  Depends on the airdrop...  There are those ones that you don't mind doing because you really want to do it.  I felt that way with Arbitrum.  I enjoyed using the different DeFi stuff they had on their like Dopex, Umami, GMX and participated in Plutus DAO and a couple others.  I didn't even know about airdrops until I got my first one from Arbitrum.  It was 5000 ARB which was quite decent.

The next airdrop that didn't really feel like a grind was Hyperliquid as I like to trade and Hyperliquid exchange is just so good of a product to use.  It's not as clunky as most exchanges i've used.

It's expected that we are not going to get what we are owed, and thinking about how much these hunters spend per year, like in hours, and how much they make, even if they it big on a single or two of them, the return per hour rate is so low that it would be smarter to be a cleaner at some fast food shop, I can guarantee you that there is nobody who is unqualified enough that this much money is enough. You can do the least paying jobs of any nation, and it would still pay better than these airdrops without a doubt. I can see that it is not that clear and it is not that profitable but it's true.

Spending 500+ hours a year, and getting maybe 1000 dollars is a good ratio that you would dream about, most of them spend more time per year and make even less. This is why staying away from airdrops is great, not because it won't pay, but because it would pay very little. I have seen people spend 200-300 and even more hours on just Hamster Kombat, and make 20 dollars in return.

Taking airdrops to be some sort of job then its never been ideal but making it to be some sort of side hustle or extra income then you can make it possible but of course just like we do all know that there's no assurance that you will really be able to make money in the end of the line on which if we do consider out on how many shit projects that we do have on this market then we can really be able to tell that success rate will be less but somehow its not impossible to make some considerable amounts. One of the main reasons on why people are really that interested into this aspect on which they are really that making up some possible big money out of free or simply rather just that putting up some effort on doing tasks for them to be eligible for the drop on which this is really he advantage, but come to think that time and effort isnt something that you cannot be able to ignore because we do know that time is valuable and you should really be that wise on dealing up with something on which you do know that this will give out at least that kind of progress and gains with money that you could simply benefit out. Well, each person does have their own perspectives on things and if it turned out that they've been that too positive about airdrops and go full time, as long they are really that sustaining then so be it but in overall it is really just that too risky to rely yourself on this one.

And the important, if not the most important thing...  Just do it if you like it because if not then you'll just be wasting time and money paid in fees.  Most of these things will pay peanuts most of the time and you'll just be burining yourself out.

I say this because none of us could afford to be burnt out at 2025 as we'll be seeing the biggest up moves in crypto in a while since 2021.  So save your ammo and your energy.  It's time to be picky about which airdrops we should start committing out time into.

Here's a lead...  Monad testnet is coming out today.  And knowing Monad and how community centric they are, this testnet should be an incentivized testnet.  Not really sure how big it will be tho as testnets don't really airdrop that much.

But for guys like us who don't have the nad role and are looking into getting some Monad tokens, this testnet is one of the ways to get it...  Aside from staking some PYTH, W and holding some NFT's that are aligned with Monad.

Have fun with the testnet you guys...

Here's another lead...  Since HyperEVM was launched a couple of days ago, you guys could now start do some liquid staking through Hyperswap which is doing it via a protocol called Thunder.  So you prolly start getting some points doing that.  Don't forget the JITO airdrop in Solana.  That was a good airdrop.

Another one is making a BTC deposit in Hyperliquid.  BTC deposits are enabled by a protocol called Hyperunit.  So you prolly get some points if you do that as well.

So why not combine the two...  Deposit BTC in Hyperliquid, buy HYPE with the BTC, send HYPE to HyperEVM then stake them via Hyperswap liquid staking option via Thunder to receive stHYPE.

Here's another lead.  Staking your KAITO airdrop could possibly bring you more rewards and prolly could get you into more airdrops in other projects as staking now will give you an 'OG' badge in the yapper site.  ;)  Check out the projects that have a leaderboard in the yapper site...  It's growing every week as they're voted by the yap holders which projects will get to have one.

It's an interesting concept and one that could make CT something like having a sig campaign with good tweets possibly will earn some yaps from Kaito.  ;D

Most of those running after airdrops are newbies, majority of them never had the better understanding of what airdrops is, they don't know it's far below what a coin or token could sum up in value, that is possibly even part of the reasons some of them are not promising or rewarding, because their amount in which they offer in return is too small in most cases, while the participants expectations would have been raised towards earning something big from it.

^  Most airdrops farm their users to get good metrics and advertise these numbers as if those using their protocols and projects are real users.  Lol.  It's all reversed now.  The farmers have become the farmees.  :D :D  And when the airdrop comes and it's worth peanuts, the 'community' leaves and it's all an empty ghost town that's left.  The 'community' was fake to begin with.  ;D

But some devs do get it right tho and do a lot of good for their community.  And as of late Hyperliquid has done very well for itself.  Jeff Yan made the users of his perps DEX rich and therefore have become loyal followers.  It kinda feels like it's gonna be something like ETH during 2016.

There are words swirling around that besides staking, the Hyperliquid devs might be copying Arbitrum's style of airdropping their tokens for HL's 'Season 3'.  So no more points campaign for this one. 

And for you guys who don't know, Hyperliquid will have a new tier system for staking.  Go read it in the docs.  Too lazy to find rn.  Lol.

Stay safe guys.  It's a bad market out there.

It's funny that people are looking for leads but when given a lead, there are no reactions or not even one of you is curious about the said lead.  Lol.

Hyperliquid airdropped 30% of their supply and gave people enough money that have changed their lives.  The funny thing is both the points system for the perps season and the spot season were mostly ignored by almost everybody, thinking that it would pay peanuts.  :D 

I feel like people are once again fading and ignoring it.  Just remember guys, there's another 30% to be airdropped by the HL devs.

Here's another lead...  Hypio.  It's an NFT in Hyperliquid eco which seems to be all the rage right now.  I bought one around 700 bucks months ago.  I got a couple of memecoin airdrops which are over 2k USD each.  I wish I bought more at that price which turned out to be very cheap for that particular selection.

Now...  The floor price is over 4k USD and the word on the street is leading tokenless HL protocols like Hyperswap, Hyperlend, Kinetiq, etc are gonna airdrop to Hypio holders.  NFA tho as it's already very expensive.  But if you already made a decent bankroll from airdrop farming and are still looking for these opportunities, then holding a Hypio could give a decent return.

The price is already expensive and most airdrop hunters consider it no longer a viable option to start in HL, I mean it's not early anymore, because airdrop hunters always want to start from the beginning, HL has finished the initial Airdrop and like it or not Airdrop part II, III and so on will not be the same as the first one where everyone, even small users, get their fair share of rewards, but now part II, III and so on depends on how thick your pockets are.
Congratulations to those of you who have become early users at HL, and for those who are not lucky, there are still other projects waiting, you just have to surf.

^  Here's the difference tho, Hyperliquid doesn't have any VC's that have a large holdings of tokens under their control to dump on you.  Most of the supply is for the community and there's around 30% more of the total supply available to airdrop to the users of HyperCORE and the HyperEVM...  Not sure what the exact amount is but that's prolly over 8 billion USD to airdrop.

And the excuses you make could cost you.  Just saying.  You don't even need to buy an expensive Hypio to be eligible.  You just need to have some activity in Hyperliquid.

But yeah, NFA and I guess for some people it's better to avoid risk so I can't really blame you for staying away.

Here's another lead.  But before that, if you're not into Hyperliquid, it's time to get in now as this lead I'm about to share is in that eco.  So here goes...

As HL precompiles release is just around the corner, you better get ready to farm a protocol called Kinetiq.  It's an LST protocol but more.  ;)  It has been waiting for precompiles release as there's something in the protocol that needs to read data from HyperCore and prolly also write?  But yeah, be on the look out for that.

As for how to get into the airdrop, stake HYPE in Kinetiq to get kHYPE which you can use in HyperEVM.  Buy a Hypio NFT.  It's kinda pricey now tho so skip that if you're priced out.

Btw maybe you can give details to do this step starting from the capital that must be prepared. Because if I'm not mistaken you are quite lucky in Hyperliquid, you could say early user, because I've seen you get big profits. Back to my question that wants to know the minimum capital to stake HYPE in Kinetiq and other steps you can share tips. Since airdrop always has a snapshot system, so is there still a chance to start it now? As far as I know Hyperliquid still has a large amount of funding that has not been fully disbursed, and I strongly believe that the overflow of funds will go into its ecosystem.

^  As for how large of a stack that should be 'prepared', dunno.  Just like airdrop farming the rest of these protocols in other L1s the answer is the same...  As much as your bankroll can afford, the bigger the better.  And the beauty of farming an LST protocol is your tokens aren't really locked.  You'll have an LST that you can trade or lend for the same value as if you still have your HYPE.

And yeah I've been very lucky in Hyperliquid.  But you know what, I was in the same situation as you right now back then.  I just dived right in and did the best I can.

Hyperliquid is getting more interesting because its development today is much better, and the infrastructure they are building, most likely the same method for their ecosystem, so for some people I think there is no need to hesitate to try in the hyperliquid ecosystem, because they have very good confidence in doing the previous airdrop method, and the fact that they have managed to grow a solid and strong community.

Do you also think that the ecosystem will do the same way? like HyperEVM or others for airdropper rewards?

If your focus is more on airdrops to participate in, to get free tokens, you will leave yourself disappointed about their payment structure and gas fees for claiming of it.

It will be best for you, to focus on investing in Bitcoin since the bull run is around the corner. So that when others talk about how they make profits from Bitcoin investment, you will join to say the same thing. Not for you to waiting for free tokens you are not sure what the worth will be in the future

I have no idea.  But what I'm doing now is just use the protocols that I need for what I do onchain like swaps and stake LIQD at LiquidSwap, goof around memes at LiquidLaunch, made a HYPE deposit at Hyperbeat, trade both spot, perps and stake some HYPE at HyperCore.

That's it.  I'm not really into lending but I think I should be doing that tho instead of selling my HYPE for stables to use for spot and perps trading at HyperCore.  But yeah, just use it.

Anyway, for you guys who are into Monad testnet, I think it would be good to goof around the Monad version of Fantasytop.  ;)  Just saying.

Of course the investment realm is clear and everyone knows the ultimate goal of every profit in altcoin, be it investment, trading or profit from airdrops, ultimately comes down to one point namely to put it into bitcoin as a long-term investment injection. Investing in bitcoin needs to have a stable income so that you can DCA with that income. If there is no adequate financial flow, it will make your investment not run smoothly. In the crypto industry there are various ways to make money, one of which is hunting for airdrops although it is not guaranteed, at least you can find and learn many things.

Yes, anything needs to be done to increase points and that is a measure of how much we will get later, being active in their ecosystem certainly has a greater opportunity, especially since this is still new in development, in the future there will definitely be more social assistance, not only from HyperEVM.
$Hype is still very worthy of being held and maintained, it doesn't feel good to just throw away our big steps.

I don't play on Monad, I'm lazy to buy their testnet tokens, it drains my wallet quite a bit.

Monad Faucet is indeed difficult now but some people bridge from Sepolia to Monad but do not know what the ratio is for now it used to be expensive for 1 Monad.
Now I myself have not been active in onchain monad for the past few weeks because of other activities, because I am too dizzy with many ecosystems, some people suggest so much that they believe.

^  My suggestion for Monad testnet, Fantasytop as I already said and Kizzy.  The latter is a social media betting app.  You bet on stuff like if a tweet goes over or under a specified number of views.  It's fun and there's a lot of potential for more features and more options to be added.

But yeah, if some of you guys are cleaned out by the market and have no bankroll rn then Monad testnet could be a good option.

Getting a token sepoila is not easy for now, I also only do it until my sepoila runs out but it's still not enough, and yes you are right that the ecosystem in Monad is indeed very much and it is enough to eat a lot of fees to interact with the many ecosystems.

In my opinion, if you have enough monad tokens, only focused on the ecosystem that is required to interact to achieve their champaign feasibility rather than eating a lot of fees so as not to complete the feasibility standards.

^  I'm not really sure exactly how many transactions you're supposed to do in Monad testnet to be eligible...  But I bet the team are pretty much aware that their testnet has a lot of sybils and most likely the guys having a sht load of transactions are sybils trying to game the airdrop.

So just use the testnet like you normally do and don't try too hard to get volume in.  It worked in the past but it sure won't now.  Just look at Berachain.  Lol.  Lots of people wasted their time in the testnet to get 10 bucks.  :D
