After seeing my $PRAI allocation, that's when I realized that the airdrop era has actually moved from just tap-to-earn to using transactions, mainnet, testnet, and many more to get ahead in the game. I was lucky to be among the people who did the airdrop early, and the allocation wasn't that bad. Also, after seeing that different exchanges are all into it, I find peace in knowing it will likely list at a good price. Exchanges like Binance announced upcoming campaigns for PRAI—but only for Alpha Points holders; OKX Ventures also invested in PRAI; and Bitget offered trading, staking, and low-fee liquidity, which is an advantage.

My point here is that airdrops are still valid for people who want to take them seriously or have low capital. As for me, apart from the allocation of $PRAI, after checking what the project stands for—comprising cryptographers, Web3 developers, and zero-knowledge (ZK) researchers who champion PRAI's fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) tech for secure AI—I believe, with the signs I've been seeing, it won't be bad to also buy early to get access to different rewards.
Do you also participate, and why are you not taking airdrop serious?

For sure, there should be a standard for the legitimate projects that are around. A lot of airdrops are seen as illegitimate, but you can do some research, and there are a lot of airdrops that would be worthwhile.

Personally, I do airdrops, but I just really don't have the time to put in so much effort that there is no assurance, and I know there are some legitimate ones, so I guess it depends on the person.

It's heavily dependent on too many factors sometimes, and in the end - a bad project may be fair in the end, whereas the one with good utility and such be delayed in its rewards / fully get away with the funds and so on in the finale of the drop.

We just hope for the best and do what we can ;D

The Tap-to-Earn model of getting airdrops did its thing, and it was one of the most successful in onboarding newbies into cryptocurrency. About PRAI, I feel it is a good project, but I like to wait a while before trading new tokens, and I might take advantage of the exchange with low trading fees you mentioned, but this is when I am satisfied with its price performance over some time.

That makes a lot of sense. It’s true that tap to earn helped bring a lot of people into crypto but now it’s more about putting in work and being early in promising projects. Personally, I do some airdrops but I’m also cautious. Like you I prefer watching the token’s performance first before making a move. No harm in being patient especially in this market.

How much reconsideration will someone have on airdrops before they know airdrops are not worth it to reconsider?

Taking up airdrops, thinking that some can be worth participating in, is the main reason shitcoins keep existing in the crypto space. If airdrops can be overlooked, not participating in them, the high rise of worthless tokens will be minimized.

Assuming airdrops are 100, about 10 of the 100 can give a small fortune. If you are lucky to get 2 to 4 of the 10 legit airdrops after wasting time on the others.

I stopped doing Telegram-based airdrops, it's a total waste of time, three to four months of work, and getting dust will get you irritated.
The best airdrops now are those coming from testnets, and there are so many of these airdrops now, we still have to be very careful, where people are investing their time and money, expect scammers to be part of that.

I noticed there are many DePin airdrops after the success of Grass tried to work on some of them, but my browsers are affected by these extensions, so it's better to only choose what you believe is worth putting in your computer, of course, after your diligent research.

There will be change soon enough and all the rewards moving over to CEX's based campaign like alpha points.
So many CEX has started to create their own alpha point program at some point there will be no allocation left for airdrop hunters.

So be prepared for the change and expect something like testnet testing to be outdated and will not yield good result.

You are right testnet people are really enjoying airdrop and i also just heard about yapping airdrop also, i will surely know that one is also being done very soon. In this space we don't give up, but rather join the thread of what is bringing money.

The good days of airdrop has drifted away, I wouldn't lie that I have not made profit from airdrops in the past, there's even an airdrops that paid me in dogecoins back then and some of them paid in their native token and they listed with good value in Dex but those tokens doesn't even exist now again. There are still so many crypto airdrops on the internet but how many of them have you made profit from since this year? What about last year, what's the huge amount you earned from airdrops? I stopped partaking in airdrops because it's no longer worth it, there are too many scams out there.

Things changed a lot for airdrop. The comes of Binance alpha is robbing a lot of allocations for the community.  People who put less effort won't get huge reward instead they get pennies for their effort.

You can argue about people who worked on testnet still get allocation. However,  their allocation is farrr smaller than when before the existence of Binance alpha. Things worsen when all of exchange sites are launching their alpha programs as copy cats from binance alpha.

Airdrops have never been this good, especially after these Telegram-based airdrops; there are still airdrops worth participating in, and they're not limited to Telegram-based platforms anymore.
There are testnets, DePin and AI airdrops, and some have made hundreds to thousands, so airdrop people are flocking to these types of airdrops. I don't know if it will end like those tapping airdrops.
Well, I hope they are different, and many airdrops will have potential in the market.

You should be accepting this reality. Basing up with tons of experiences with projects specially on airdrops or bounty hunting then you can be able to experience that good looking/utility/project team do end up shit, and to those shit looking and having no utility ending up on successful on paying up to those who do make out such engagement or tasks. I have been able to deal up with different projects such as this on which you can be able to tell into yourself that it is much more better to deal up with shit projects on which there's chance that they will be giving out those full rewards plus if the hype is enough and community interest and back up then token/coin prices will be that high compared into those projects that didnt end up on getting listed or being materialized on which most of them flushed up into the drain or simply didnt been able to make it through. Its just that amazing to see that there are even those people who are that trying out to have a full time on dealing up with airdrops on which considering the % success of these projects are just that definitely low but still they have managed it out on doing on having such engagement on which there are those people who do indeed be able to make it through on which they do deserve it out. Just like on what i have said that it will be also that significant on having that mix of luck when dealing up with airdrops because we dont really know on what would happen later on on which just like on what i have said that it will be that talking about that there will be factors on which it will be that affecting overall success rate. On the moment that you step your foot on trying out to deal with airdrops then make it sure that you had made up your mind that being prepared on what are the instances or chances that you will be ending up on tons of failures. Its always been best that you should be wary into the actions that you are taking and that be sensible into the steps and plans you are trying out to do because not all the time it will be resulting into success but rather ending up on failure.

Actually airdrop space has undoubtedly progressed from the basic tap and claim days to more task driven and ecosystem involved approaches. Projects like PRAI that show solid sponsorship and actual tech vision especially with FHE and AI integration, make it more than simply hype. I do participate in some but not as consistently. Honestly sometimes it’s the fear of wasting time on low value drops. but seeing efforts like this tells me it’s worth the effort if you stay focused and discriminating.

I am not taking it seriously anymore. Because most of them were a flop and just wasted my effort into participating in them. I still see a lot of people getting involved with airdrops but it requires patience and because of my other activities, I just can't participate on them anymore and become active on them. But if you're that guy that can spend a lot of time on them, then you're free to participate on most of them as much as you can. And for me, even if you encourage me and you're the most optimistic guy about the airdrops in today's period of time, just forget about me and I won't listen anymore because based on my experience, it's a completely different world.

The moment it involves using real money in the hope of a reward, it is no longer and airdrop because airdrop is supposed to be completely free or reward for simple task. Considering how scam dominate this space, I will not recommend spending money under any form while chasing airdrop. Imagine participating in 200 airdrops with each requiring you to person a transaction of about $3 which is considerably easy, you would have spent $1,200 doing that and in the end, you are not even sure of earning anything because there is no guarantee in airdrops.

When talking about CEX-based campaigns such as alpha points, to be honest, this is very annoying, because the airdrop community that has worked hard to sacrifice time, focus on participating in airdrops held by a project ends up losing to users who get allocations from alpha points, in this case the CEX that often does this from the start is BINANCE, i remember recently there was a crowded incident involving many influencers and airdrop channels, they made a statement that CEXs must immediately stop this, because this is very detrimental to the airdrop community, because the allocation that should have been distributed to the community instead switched to the CEX, not infrequently the allocation they receive is larger, so the distribution is also greater to users who follow the CEX itself compared to the airdrop community who have been loyal from the start.

I knew telegram airdrop was just a season, and I know it’s not really going to last, scammers took advantage of the telegram airdrop, and were scamming people, some projects requested for people to make transactions, or to pay some particular amount of money to increase their ranks, but at the end, some of those airdrops didn’t even pay, and some that got listed and paid didn’t pay any reasonable amount of money.

I no longer participate in airdrops because I see it as waste of time, I will say we have already passed the era of airdrops, but maybe later in the future we will be seeing some good airdrops. Am not really discouraging anyone from participating in airdrops, if you can do it then it’s not really a bad idea, and am sure there are still some good airdrops, just that they are difficult to find. If you think airdrops pay you, or you think it’s really worth participating in, then it’s fine, you can continue with it.

I miss those old days. One simple sign up or app install and they gave you sweet money
Now it's really hard to find a decent airdrop

Out of 100%, I doubt if there are even up to 15% good airdrops out there, that's to show how difficult it has become to see good airdrops and how it will be a waste of time to start participating in random airdrops that will not even favour you at the end of the day. Back then, airdrops activities was even simple and straight forward and yet you will get paid. I remember one of it that they said participants should design a sticker for with the name of the token on it, I did and got paid. It was a simple activity.

I participate on some airdrop but in very limited time because I can’t spend so much hours on screen due to my eye health.

My buddy @cryptoadditche is very active on airdrop participation even until now. He is only joining on quality airdrop and I believe he is gaining huge amount of profit from these airdrop.

There’s still a lot of people taking airdrop seriously. They are just lowkey  earning profit.

Most of the time, others still recognize that these potential airdrops that they see and know are a good source of income. In which is in reality, that is not the reality
that is happening in this industry of the crypto space actually.

So there are still more participants who are just wasting their time and effort given to them. It's like 1 out of 10 1 airdrops actually succeed. This is the cycle of competition
that is happening in the crypto space.

We have a new concept of airdrop now. Developers have combined the actions and features of bounty campaigns, so instead of just sending your wallet address, they require you to perform marketing tasks, similar to the old days when you would simply send your wallet address to the developers.

Airdrops are here to stay; they are the new meaning of bounty, a marketing campaign, and a testnet, so if you're going to participate in airdrops, be sure to check the potential of the project.

There are numerous testnets and airdrops available now, so don't rush to participate in order to receive a free token. Do check their potential, or you may end up with a useless token.

I need to straighten out Tap2earn a new type of method in the airdrop world and it has slowly become extinct. Before Tap2Earn, Testnet airdrops have been around for a long time maybe you are new to the airdrop world so you put it together wrong. Oh for the airdrop community the presence of Binance Alpha has ruined everything. Just so you know binance alpha has monopolized crypto and arguably killed the Early Community. You know the Alpha Points holder system is not in the web3 category but it is like a VIP ticket.

Not all airdrop projects are bad, most of them pay users a good amount. When 1 million users join a project's airdrop, if each user gets paid one dollar, that project's liquidity will be reduced by one million dollars. And having one million dollars of liquidity in a coin is a big deal. Now the problem is that since there are many easy tasks in airdrop, millions of users work there and that's why individual users don't get any big payments. And that's why later everyone started calling airdrop projects scams. but logically that's project is not scam.

How did you find out this particular airdrop PRAI you participated, where did you find it from before coming live on Binance and OKX recognition, because its kinda hard to come across such project especially meeting them at airdrop stage, you will only find out airdrop allocation is filled out.

Moreover, projects that needs participants to running a test campaign on their blockchain network, solving a very important problems in the blockchain industry seems to be always promising in their airdrop, and such project attracts more serious ventures and exchange to back them.

Could you let me know where to find this kind of airdrop very early?

Cryptorank give extensive information about their seed funding and potential airdrops.

I think that site is good enough if you want early information about projects, also some telegram channel and X accounts share airdrops information routinely.
It's pretty accessible these days, so many site already giving alpha for free.

Thanks for the information, my first time of visiting the site and it's pretty much good for upcoming fundraising events, I'll take much time to check out the site and maybe find myself participating in of the event and check out the outcome.

At the same time, it's also serving as a market cap place of all coins just like CMC and Gecko, it's nice.

I have been an early participants in airdrops, I made my first $1000 from airdrops and up till this month i still participate in airdrops. I have made alot of money from airdrops and I am glad I believe in it

If we do compare those airdrops in the past than now then we can be able to say that there's soo much difference when it comes to success rate and the money that you can be able to made out. I do able to earn money when ICO is just that the main trend and you do just simply that fill up that google form then youre good to go on which in compared to now that you would be basically be ending up on getting nothing if you do put up yourself into those bad projects. Surprisingly there are still those people who are that good when it comes on spotting out some good projects but still there's no assurance in regarding about the number of those success projects because no one really knows on when a certain project will become shit midway. Some are just that waiting for it to be get listed if they are eyeing or spotting up a certain project on which this will be that somewhat assure that they are that dealing up with a legit one because as long a certain coin/token isnt that listed or being traded then there's no way that you can tell yourself that being profitable or making up some money.

I have long time left out airdrops but if there are some worthy projects then i might dive in but it will be that unlikely because 99.9% of them are considered trash but surprisingly there were those people
who do able to hit up the right spot and made out some considerable money too. So when you are decided on dealing up with these things then make it sure that you've been wary about on the risks involved and not just that simply crying or freaking out if you dont able to get something out of those tasks that you have done or simply making up some direct investing into it. We do know that crypto investment doesnt really give out any guarantees for those who do tend to dive or make involved in on which this is why its important that you do need up to consider first before making up some step in order for you to be able to made out such choices.

I do participate in the Airdrop and I take it seriously about this. Why? It simply my every day job bro, But I get it the Airdrop industy is keep moving and I know the feel, the project didnt really care much about community, If we look the binance alpha in the latest ALLO or $RWA token binance took 2.5% if I dont mistake of total supply while the communtiy only get 2% of supply after all this year of hard work.

Trader in the other hand trade with big and mid cap that are liquid enough and dont have lot of noises new crypto is 80% made for short trader till they gain popularity

Actually airdrops have evolved and today it’s more about being early and involved in the ecosystem than just hitting buttons. If the project has real backing like PRAI seems to and there's true tech and utility behind it then sure it’s worth the effort especially for folks with low capital. I haven’t been extremely active in airdrops lately but seeing how this one played out makes me think I should pay more attention moving forward.

Base on my experience people hoping with the airdrop its one of the trending and theres alot of people who are into crypto makes a huge amount of money into it so other willingly would like to join and a chance the same time. Most of the products ive been into airdrops requires a task and a role to become eligible to a allocation but of course this really takes time before to achieve so better not to become dependent into not all assured projects have a good return income.

It's an active market that makes promises, and you know people love expecting a reward. Too many participants could do mouth to mouth marketing to achieve points. These projects leverage on investors with airdrops to build daily activities that'll impact on their interest. If more legitimate crypto companies progress using this medium of dissemination, it could turn out to be a better place for people who wish to participate well. If the reward reciprocates, it's a good business, and the market would strive until the method wears off. In this market it's not always the way it was, but in a good and bad way. In a more understandable expression, it may not worth doing now, but later becomes a life changer. Things might go the other way round. It's quite fine to try wisely, and be on the right side.

There was a time when peoples were really crazy about these airdrops many have huge profits from them as well because too many good projects with worth to investing and also having time to spend for them which give good rewards to users.

But suddenly things take changes and scammers and hyper started to do their tricks which done good damage even peoples drop this idea I personally know many users on this forum those have huge amounts which are life changing for them, but now they are doing things which bring good changes for them but if real projects started to come surely big number of community members started again to take interest. Sadly now it's not easy because recently due to social media negativity too much damage happen and it needs good time for having things back on positive track which encourage peoples to believe in these.
