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.

Myself I am doing the Prom Testnet Campaign right now.
It is not exactly a classical airdrop.
But it kinda fit the basic criteria and is expected to earn a good profit.

First of all - its the usual testnet activity: claiming test $PROM from the faucet, making transactions, minting NFTs - all the usual stuff.
You are expected to do it daily and earn a certain amount of points to qualifty (we don't know the amount yet).
Those who make it will receive a DAO role of Delegates and a proportional share of the 1 million $PROM prize pool.

What makes it different from the usual airdrops - is that these tokens cant be transferred to exchanges and can't be sold.
Which is also good, since it won't dump the market price.
But these tokens and the DAO role you recieve will allow you to vote and by voting earn a share of network's profits.
Delegates divide 30% of Prom Network profits between themselves.
This would allow you to have a constant stable influx of money as long as you don't forget to do your Delegate duties.

Yearly income will surely be in the hundreds of dollars with a real potential to reach thousands.
If amount of network transactions grow, so does the revenue, and the amount shared between the Delegates.
I personally love the idea and am doing my best to receive this role.

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.

Airdrop now can no longer guarantee profits for us as the development of the forum continues to increase, lots of airdrops appear but there is no future goal. In the past, every time an airdrop appeared, it was a pleasure for us, we would get a pretty big bonus, after several updates, the airdrop required initial capital but the results were not as we expected, let's fix it and study again so we don't follow and promote another airdrop scam that is just the team looking for profit for groups. Let's stop not promoting anything like that anymore.

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.
