Bitcoin Forum

Almost all airdrop videos on YouTube are all scams, do not try hunting for airdrops using YouTube videos, those airdrops links in Youtube videos are all fake links and once you connect your wallet your tokens will be wiped out.

Find the project team or the o projects official telegram group and ask them if they are doing any airdrops or giveaways, this is the perfect way to expose or know the truth about any airdrop campaign.

Let's be careful what we connect our crypto wallets to.

Best is to avoid altcoins all together and just stick to bitcoin that you store in open source wallet like Electrum or even better hardware wallet.  That way you dont have to worry about these types of airdrop scams

You can still be scammed through project's official channels, as the actual project could be a scam in the end.

There is the additional risk of identity theft. Those who apply for airdrops do that at a high frequency, meaning they reveal personal information about themselves on various platforms and that could be sold or hacked and find its way to the dark web, this in turn could be used to make purchases in the person's name and result in huge debt.

Airdrops in my opinion are not worth the stress it takes to apply for them, and when you factor in the risk involved, I would advice to avoid.

Airdrop promoters via YouTube cannot be generalized as scammers, they can be affiliate hunters, sponsorships, marketing service providers, or others.
But I can confidently say that airdrop hunting is mostly a waste, the rest are scams including the ones you describe.

If you ask me about the title, then not really, maybe once a year or not any.

Not only on YouTube videos, scammers and hackers know that people like what is free, they also try their luck to use fake airdrops to scam people, some people can be scammed. There are many fake and scam airdrops on many telegram channels because it was there I wanted to be scammed.

I can not because of airdrop be looking for a good project, but if a good project comes my way and I see it legit, if airdrop is part of their plans, I can join and receive some freely.

You means those decentralized exchanges, many are fake and some are fakes of the original sites, it he been an easy way hackers are using to transfer all the coins on the wallet.

Never connect your main wallet, you can always use a new wallet for airdrops only, finding a good airdrop is like looking at a needle in a haystack, I have a friend who's so active in airdrops, who had over 100 airdrops and only 5% of them have values, and sometimes you have to wait for months before it lands on exchanges and there's no value because the whales and the team dump their shares first, airdrop participants are the last one to receive their shares and also the last one to sell it.

Sometimes but unfortunately, most of the airdrops are not paying nowadays, and you will be lucky already if they will reward you after the release of the project, even if it is just small.
Unless they are paid from doing so and are aware of the possibility that those who would participate won't be paid afterwards; will be a different thing. But sometimes, promoters are also victims especially if they won't earn from what they did to spread the populairty of a certain project. This unfortunate outcome has been existing for ywars in this industry but I think before is still better than the present because there are more non paying projects than the ones whoch does.

It is true that the vast majority of airdrops do not bring any profit, which is why they are usually a waste of time, and you can lose other cryptos through carelessness. If someone absolutely wants to take part in airdrops, I suggest creating separate wallets only for this purpose and never use the main wallet in such situations. I haven't participated in typical airdrops for a long time, but I think that sometimes it's worth working on the testnets of promising projects. In such situations, there can sometimes be a good reward.

Airdrops and ICOs are dead. They do not make sense anymore! The crypto community now understands that there is no need for thousand different coins for thousand different tasks. All can be done using one cryptos only. That's why new coins are not seeing much success unless it is bringing in some drastically refreshing ideas.

So I have stopped taking part into any airdrops or bounties long back. It doesn't give any value for my time and effort.

I'm not hunting for airdrops anymore after reading that to get prizes from the airdrop program, users have to do a complete KYC even though the prizes are not much. It's not worth the risk of stealing customer data already in the airdrop project, which can happen anytime. Not to mention the stories about connecting our wallets to get the airdrop which will cause our funds or assets to be stolen by scammers, but if you still want to hunt for the airdrop, you have to be really careful and read all the terms. If you doubt, you should not register and look for another airdrop.

Even though it is not all like that for affiliates through video, but on average they are like that even though it is actually for a hunting airdrop in the current condition only wasting time.
I have done something like this but it has been a long time since I stopped my activities as part of the airdrop hunter because it is not too worth it in terms of profit in terms of the time I was throwing to look for airdrop.

They still come even if you don't seek airdrops. They are however not worth it anymore unlike back in 2017 when tokens you get from airdrop are listed on exchanges. You rarely see them listed these days and if they were to some unknown exchange, they only are worth $0.002 while you only get 100 tokens.

When UNI airdropped 400 tokens to each wallet that used them, people tend to try out other DEX thinking those dexes will also airdrop tokens. Unfortunately, no real airdrops with real value anymore that I know since.

The airdrop is one that gives me an advantage when I become one of the people on the winner list, and what I get from participating in this airdrop has a large nominal value. I still follow it to this day, but not the way it used to when I first got into the cryptocurrency space. The first pass I barely missed a single airdrop (because I took a lot of airdrops in one day). But now I only take part in a few airdrops, in the sense that I choose which airdrop has the potential even though the win rate is very small because there are many people participating there.

Airdrops are easy money before when the time of ICOs were soaring but then it has come to lie low when the bear market has came. And also, when the market has been back again for 2021 which the bull run came.

There were some few airdrops that have became profitable for those eligible which has been given away. I don't join most airdrops that I see even if I think they're profitable, I just don't feel that I should join any of it.

You missed the most generous airdrop from DYDX, the size of which ranged from 5 to 130 thousand dollars, depending on the daily volume of the participant. After that, there was an airdrop from Optimism and a lot more not so generous giveaways. But all of them, unlike what the OP writes about, were retro airdrop, which was paid to early participants of the project.

The airdrop must have a large capital to swap on the dex including bridging other networks or more interactions on the dex, so the chances are higher, so this requires quite a large amount of capital and some are brave, some are not.

A friend even got 7k from their Optimism since the beginning of joining this project and in the end the result of this airdrop was up to thousands of dollars that he got.

Then there is from the Aptos testnet? that's quite a big prize that is generated.

Not sure if you just saw a airdrop video from hacked channel where some kind of crypto conference is showing and also has a title of huge bucks giveaway/airdrop. If so, then don't fall for those. Also joining airdrop using telegram bot is totally scam or fake because 99% won't pay you until it's a good project who are doing that airdrop officially. ;)

Well, there is few types of airdrop like incentive testnet with airdrops or retroactive airdrop. For retroactive airdrop, there won't be any official statement from team. For example, early users got UNI or 1INCH or PARA airdrop for using the dex platform. So better look into twitter threads where any defi researchers post details if there will be airdrop for it or not.

You can follow BitByte Crypto for such contents and here's a thread for you to look into if you're interested into incentive testnet for airdrop or retroactive airdrop: https://twitter.com/officialbitbyte/status/1628727899942690816

That's why always use burner wallet where you won't store any kind of crypto and will be used for airdrops to interact with any platforms.

In my opinion it is better to skip airdrops completely, now it is completely true there was a time there was some money to be made out of them, but the competition for it grew exponentially with the use of bots and the quality of airdrops dropped considerably as the majority of them do not pay their bounty hunters, and when you out those factors together it becomes very clear the time to collect airdrops has passed and it is never coming back.

Yes, it is better to search for airdrops through reliable sites. There are reliable sites that specialize in these free airdrops and greatly facilitate your work.

Working in airdrops involves a lot of risk, so it is better not to use your main wallet to get airdrops, and it is better to create a new wallet, as well as an email and password for each airdrop.

I only ever tried hunting for airdrops twice, and have received mediocre returns for my efforts and ever since, I haven't hunted for those. The amount of time you spend on research and actual waiting for the airdrop isn't really worth it, and you're better off exploring other options out there to make some quick buck. Bounties offer lower pay too so I guesd this facet of the cryptomarket is no longer profitable for the most part. But of course, if this is the only option you have in the mean time then there's really nothint much to say about it except that rates could be better.

Most of the new projects promised something good and high rewards which really raise your courage to participate and might invest but they mostly ended up breaking their promises. In their current market strategies, many had fallen into their hands and wasted their time participating and promoting their platform where participants are expecting reward money but unfortunately, these projects give only useless or untradable coins.

Should we still have the guts to hunt bounties? That is our decision now...

I stopped hunting for airdrop since 2019.  That time there are lots of airdrops that did not send their token.  They promise to airdrop some amount of their token in exchange of sharing their project on twitter, facebook and other media platform.  Then we have to wait for months for the airdrop to be distributed but at the end it is all an empty word.  Since then I stop giving attention to airdrop, though we can miss some very generous airdrop ignoring them.  So I guess it is still ok to be updated on airdrop but hunting them is just a waste of time at least.

Are airdrops really still valuable and earning? I thought if this was in the past, maybe it still is, but not for now, or am I left with information? because so far, I have never hunted airdrops again. The last airdrops that I took part in and made if I'm not mistaken in 2020 on a local exchange in my country and it was very profitable. but after that I never focused on airdrops anymore. so in my opinion, it doesn't work much.

But maybe it will be different for airdrop hunters who really focus on finding airdrops. Could it be that out of the 10 airdrops that followed, there was 1 that produced and was very worthy? It's not guaranteed, but who knows, right? But of course we need to pay attention to how worthy it is when compared to our efforts and also the time wasted. If it's not a problem yes then it's okay to do.

airdrops nowadays in general aren't really worth that much honestly many of them are just getting advantage of you letting you do some complicated tasks for free and get free marketing meanwhile at the end of the airdrops where you're deserving of your rewards they'd just give you some trash coin it's ridiculous indeed but that's just how it works with airdrops nowadays.

I have noticed that there is no airdrop like the way we used to see them before. Everything is changing and we are adaptive to it gradually. Don't be surprised that many of the cryptocurrency projects are becoming scam and if we don't careful we will have so many bad projects that will be making investors to lose money everytime.

Although now i didn’t participate in any Airdrop, but if i see a project looks promising then i will go to participate but i never used my main wallet, because most of the Airdrops didn’t pay or SCAM, so we shouldn’t connect our main wallet in their site, there are high possibility to get SCAM. I think it’s waste of time to hunt Airdrops.

Yes, I DO. My best advice is to use low subscription channels. Those ones must share good content to gain more subscriptions and followers. And now I am looking at the MEXC Kickstarter, which needs $MX to vote for the tokens or coins and participate for an airdrop. I found a lot of good and interesting projects there as $AX, a huge DeFI project that aims to bridge the Precious Metals to web3. A

Aurus seeks to implement and create a more inclusive, reliable, and efficient Precious metals market by tokenization. At the same time, The Aurus platform empowers a global network of precious metals providers to tokenize their assets (any precious metal) and offer them to the web3 Community.

Not hundred percent perfect because even though the airdrop was carried out officially by the project developers but the project could end up with a scam too, if you want to follow the airdrop where you are required to connect your wallet then use a new wallet and in my opinion it is safe enough to avoid fraud in the form of theft your asset in that wallet.

It's been a long time since I haven't looked for airdrops anymore because almost all of the airdrops I've participated in are non-paying, or paying but the tokens don't have a price.

Anyway, I've never looked for airdrops from youtube, and if I were looking for airdrops, I'd still do my research before I work like find the source of the airdrop and do research on the team, goals, concept, community, market potential, and more. whether it's from YouTube or Telegram, before doing this work, we should know about the project. currently, there are so many scam airdrops, so it doesn't matter if it's from youtube or telegram, if we just work without doing research, we can't expect it to be something of value.

I've heard some testnets on some projects, and they are paying the testers for testing the project. That's basically the new airdrop right now. It wasn't like a few years ago where it's way easier to register. Just fill up some forms, share or retweet some of their tweets and that's it. You're eligible in getting rewards.

I wanted to, but I don't have time to do some research on which airdrop projects are legit and which are not. Coingecko on the other hand, shared some projects that are making their airdrops somewhere this year. I will share the link of the article, and they also made a Youtube video regarding on it. Here's the link.

Overall, airdrops are worth it "if they will pay the users or the participants", but aside from that, it is just useless.

Can you mention one, two or some of the reliable sites? What I know is that airdrops can be useless, waste of time, not profitable even if they are not scam, but they can also be scam.

A friend told me of a telegram channel like three years ago, he said it is reliable, but it turned to be scam for me. I did not pay any VIP fee and I was not scammed because I knew already that it was a scam.

I will not advice that too, but not that you connect your wallet to any site like those decentralized exchanges, it is just to add a coin to the wallet but which might be scam coin, I do not see how it would lead to a compromised wallet. But I will always advice people not to joke with their main wallet, they should not connect it to anything or use it for airdrop.

Most of airdrops are scams in youtube. But there are some good communities that release decent airdrops.
Btw i'm always use diffrent wallets for airdrops. So no risk about loosing my crypto.  :D

I never tried to hunt airdrops, most of the time it's pointless and won't give you more than a couple of bucks, or won't even give that. I prefer to work myself on my portfolio.

I remember when I join multiple airdrops back then and the result was something good because some of them really make it to the market but you really need to do things that are not good because you gonna sell them as soon as you received them because of when the others will gonna sell, the price will drop down dramatically and there will no bounce back. I never heard them recover until now and that's why even though it's not a good decision because we jeopardize the progress of the project, it's still good for the participants because they were able to get some payment for promoting those projects. right now is a different story, because I never heard any good news about airdrops anymore.

It is difficult to find the airdrop campaign now because those times have passed.
But you can still look for the campaign of Airdrop, which is still active, to get the reward but be careful if Airdrop asks you to connect your wallet to the project.
There is no guarantee whether the airdrop campaign is safe or turned into fraud and do not easily trust the YouTuber who invites you to join him.
So before you decide to join, you must find the information first and don't join if you are doubtful.

Try these sites give you a good list
https://airdropalert.com/
https://airdrops.io/

These sites, for example, give you a list of the best airdrops currently, but not all of them can be 100% reliable, for sure some are a waste of time and others are scam.
In the end, you are responsible for your choice, you should do your own research (DYOR).

Personally, I haven't been working on airdrops for a long time, because most of them are scam or worthless and a waste of time.

I would guess that there are also a lot of airdrop Videos on YouTube that are maybe not total scams but still not woth the effort. Those youtubers and influencers are doing this videos because in most airdrops nowadays you get the most tokens if you are refering people to also join the airdrop. So those youtubers get a big chunk of tokens while every normal user only gets token worth 1 or 2 dollars or so. I stopped joining airdrops at least 2 years ago or so. It is just not worth it.

That statement of yours is so true. I have said it before that not all projects are from the beginning. Some of these projects come with real vision and clear intent to make good impact in the cryptocurrency industry . But due to the hurdles and difficulties of new projects. They may try their best to keep the project going but in the end all their efforts fail and it will be termed as scam Project.

Not all projects are scam, some just turned to become scam amidst frustration and maybe mismanagement.

Yes I agree with what was said, the official channel doesn't guarantee it will actually be a promising project (don't end up being a scam). Everything is still a possibility that it can still happen, it's just that there may be a smaller chance of becoming a fraudulent project.
There are projects that really have the intention of cheating from the start, there are also projects that start out well but are not managed properly so that it turns out to be a scam in the end, I once again agree with that.

The majority of the people here have not tried to hunt for airdrops anymore—the members who are active in the forum. Active bounty hunters are those people who probably still hunt those airdrops and get free currency. Whether it has value or not, they probably like having the crypto in their wallet. Those tasks to gain the airdrop are quite easy for them because that's probably how they do to earn money.

As long as you know what you are doing, scams can be prevented. You just have to be wary of the value you are doing.

Not only should you never trust any airdrop where you need to link your wallet. You should ALWAYS double check even the official telegram group. Any telegram group that's offering you free stuff is most likely a fake group. I know some fake telegram groups made for mid level cryptocurrencies that claim to be an official groups and they have even more members then actual official one.

That being said. I don't hunt for airdrops. I usually get them just by being an early supporter of some projects. And they have been paying a lot in the past.

If it doesn't require me a lot then I'd just sign up for it but to say that I'm hunting for it, is not in that situation. I've got real-life friends that have a lot of time doing all of those things required by a project that's giving airdrops. There is no guarantee with it and yet they spend their time on it in hope that one day it will be like those projects that have got some buff and managed to get listed in various exchanges adding value and price to their tokens. I've given them my word already that if it asks for their personal information it might later be sold somewhere they didn't know in exchange only for that hope and potential token that might give them pennies in value. I can't blame them for that since they look enjoying of what they do but enough is enough and I've given them some words already.

That's wrong. When you consider that over 90% of projects turn out to be shams or scams the chance of them becoming fraudulent and misusing your information is very high.

As I recommended earlier, avoid applying for multiple airdrops as you risk your funds and privacy.

Even if you do find the project team, official telegram, LinkedIn pages of each team with a lots of followers, they are not entirely the indicator of something of "not a scam". A scummy team would pretend to be another team just to make the public believe that they are legitimate cause who in the legitimate team would check it anyway, right?

I would steer clear of airdrops if I were you. It is not just worth it. Upgrade00 also mentioned "identity theft" and believe me, it almost happened to me back then as well with just an icing on the top of the cake of phishing website.

I couldn't think it joining anymore but by chance given the opportunity and seeing that airdrop is worth participating in, then why not? But if we are talking about hunting them and spending/wasting our time digging into hundreds or thousands of airdrops, I don't think so.
I guess we are not new to the information about fraud and scam airdrops, and I can't afford to lose my personal information as well into them especially when asking for KYC.

This is what commonly happened to airdrops. Many airdrop scams are in the telegram group and we need to connect our wallet to theirs. This really opens the chance to scammers or hackers to make it a way to connect to our wallets. And this is very risky because we will not know what will happen. I personally will avoid the airdrops that need to do wallet connection like this. Although I am not using the main wallet, this will be also very risky for me. Additionally, I don't think that there are still many worthy airdrops. because so far, I am not getting good earning from airdrops. Or I am not able to take the worthy one  :D :D

It is a no brainer if you're connecting your main wallet for the airdrops and it is also a no brainer if you use your main wallet to participate in any giveaways like airdrops.
I don't even see any risk if you're using a dummy wallet to participate in any airdrops. I'm kinda confuse as to why you're still afraid of the risk in connecting your other wallet, when of course it does not have any crypto stored on it.
Well, airdrops ain't worth your time today anyway, unlike before.

Airdrop hunters should practice having a wallet that is only intended for wallets and giveaways like this.  You can possibly lose some assets depending on the situation you have. Most of the airdrop hunters use one wallet for their airdrop hunting activity, This is for them to be organized and be move way easier than keep changing wallet each time they join airdrops. The risk in this is your airdrop wallet be hacked with a valuable token inside you get from another airdrop that you don't know like forgetting to check the value of coins you receive or you don't check the coins you receive. There's always a risk in every move you make especially if you don't really focus on things you do on crypto.

Yes, before but now, it isn't that much worth it and it seems wasting of time.
I will not generalize, there are some legitimate projects that use airdrops as a way to promote their token and build a community around their project.  In these cases, participating in an airdrop can be a way to gain exposure to a new cryptocurrency or token and potentially benefit from its future growth.

But most commonly fraudulent airdrops are designed to steal your personal information or crypto.  These scams often ask for sensitive information or require you to send cryptocurrency to receive your airdrop reward.  If you really wanted to join airdrop, be cautious of any airdrops that ask for personal information or require you to send cryptocurrency, as these are often red flags of a scam.

needles to say there are many airdrops that is still beneficial like aptos, had you followed it you got good chance of having good rewards but overall there are so many airdrops that are purely useless.
the thing is to find some real good airdrops you need to repeatedly follow all these airdrops because no one could know how much value it's gonna have and how much you could earn from airdrops.
even though just finding the fact that some project that did airdrops are having good devs team that kind of guarantees the outcome it still hard to see how much you can earn from the airdrops so getting too much reliant in these airdrops in general is a mistake.
i'd say, take airdrops only for side hustle that didn't guarantee any outcome. because most of the time you'll get nothing.

And that is the problems with airdrops, even if the amount was small as long as people could get that amount in a reliable way then their efforts as bounty hunters will not be wasted, but since many of those airdrops are scams or the never pay their bounty hunters then looking for airdrops has become a complete waste of time, which explains why over the years the interest on bounty hunting seems to have dropped considerably.

We cannot compare Airdrops from the past and how it is now so best to remind yourself if this is still worth it or not? because the way airdrops being advertise now it is given that they are only luring stupid people to let them becomg popular and earn while airdroppers will be losers.
I forget about this since years ago because of constant scam accusations  i have been reading , lucky that i never become one since day one.

Airdrop hunting is no longer lucrative and I'll consider it as a waste of time and effort. Secondly, there's a risk of loosing your information to the wrong person's as those information could serve as a tool for hacking or luring you to be hacked. I'll prefer to stay away from airdrops as they no longer worth the time, effort, and risk.

I still participate in airdrop events; and i participate in the credible ones. Such as retroactive airdrops and testnet airdrops; i also run testnet nodes for different projects in return for incentives at main launch. When it involves retroactive airdrops, you should use metamask and your pc, and you would need some funds. When its testnet event; you need to use brand new wallet to protect yourself. For nodes, you need your pc and an attentive mind to set up easily.

Airdrops are rewarding; just always remember that projects that will pay have the easiest instructions in an airdrop event

You equates all airdrops as fraudulent, while they differ greatly from each other by different levels of difficulty. In addition to those airdrops in which you previously participated, there are also airdrops that pay for testing in the testnet and retroactive airdrops, which are the most profitable. Read more about such airdrops as DYDX, 1inch, Aptos, Uniswap, Optimism and you will understand what you should devote more time to in order to get a profit of tens of thousands of dollars.

Not all but I have to admit that the majority are just a waste of time and effort.
I have been participating in airdrops before and I would say that they will pay you good amounts and really profitable. But unfortunately, the trend has changed and it is just about to happen that scam/fake airdrops have been growing fast. As we can see, airdrops are flooded in the market but people are rejecting them because they are useless and they might compromise your personal information especially if they are asking for your KYC.

It is wasting your time and effort. There are only a few, almost none, that you can earn in airdrops right now, unlike before, like, 5 years ago, when it was really good. We called it before "There's money in garbage" because we could earn money from it. There will be times when you get lucky and earn a lot of money, but it will be on a weekly basis. But now most of them are scams, so it would be better to focus your time on others than join those, unless you have plenty of time.

The word "stupid" is a harsh description for those people that are still trying to do those though. Let's just call it "inexperienced" instead. There are some recent replies pointing out that there are somehow still legitimate airdrops going on, but I ain't going to try to attempt them regardless since I do not have the time to do another airdrop hunts again like I usually do before.

It's just not worth it in my own time. Others might enjoy it though so good for them.

But indeed for now the comparison is one in a hundred and maybe even a thousand because indeed for Airdrop at this time most of it is just other than shitcoin, namely fraud, nothing more than that.
The condition is actually the same regardless of anything even though it was really good at first in the end it will also end up being wasted without anything else.

Even though I don't forbid or suggest it, on the other hand we also have to be aware of how much time is wasted and how much profit is generated, we have to be able to compare things when it's answered then you know what steps to take.

The era of airdrops that could bring us huge profits has long been over. Currently, most airdrops will turn out to be scams. Although some airdrops can be profitable, it may not be worth it because they have to wait for the token to find a place on exchanges. And from day to day, token holders must keep waiting for further information from the project when they can sell their tokens.

Maybe they can still look for the airdrops, but it's better not to force them to participate, especially if the airdrop program requires complete KYC because we don't know how strong they can protect our data.

I am quite experienced in airdrops and I already have my own strategy in dealing with this, I don't use the main wallet to enter as an airdrop participant because the danger that might get is a dusting attack which, like you said, loses the coins in the wallet, actually we don't know which is a real airdrop trap on YouTube, Telegram, Facebook and others from a project and the possibility of winning is small, so it's important for us to have a spare wallet to do that so that valuable coins can be safely stored in the main wallet.

I never hunted for airdrops. I’ve found that the best ones usually thrust themselves upon you for owning BTC. Drops (or more accurately forks) like BCH were extremely nice for Bitcoin holders. Then their were the airdrops you actually had to take part in like HEX which also turned out to be a nice free gift… Nowadays I think airdrops you hunt for are mostly scams that try to lure you into their ecosystem.

Season of earning massive profits via airdrop is gone and I don't think such an opportunity would unveil itself again, then most of the new projects distribute their tokens reaned via airdrops apart from tokens earned from bounty hunting once those  tokens got listed in exchange definitely there are reasonable and valuable rewards for the holders, but now 99% of airdrops is worthless and waste of time as matter of fact some developers require some ETH in exchange for airdrop token, personally I had diverted my attention to other ventures.

but sometimes mate we need to impose what we wanna try to say and by that realization will come to those who are still helping scam project to succeed , actually most of them can be called "Willing Victims" and that is a sad part why those airdrops succeed in their intention .
those who has plenty of time to spend may take this as funny and enjoyable thing  but for us who has limited time and more focus in life? i'm afraid that we will be partaking one of those airdrops anymore.

Right, late 2017 if I remember it correctly and then first quarter of 2018, but after that airdrops are that worth anymore. Projects decided to just gave small amounts as compare to before and then there are a lot of bounty cheaters that force project to be really on the look out for this kind of indivuals.

And then there are projects that blatantly scams too, saying that they will give this amount of bounties and then chance it in the last minute.

Also projects that ask for private keys or some form of money just to give their airdrops, Lol, that is scam by itself.

You are both right. It's been very difficult to benefit from the airdrop right now, and it probably won't return. But I feel it will be replaced by another trend that will give crypto users quick money because it seems like a repeating cycle in the crypto world. And now, when airdrops are not profitable anymore, people have to try to find other ways and I see they are still hunting for airdrops that are still there in the hope of being as profitable as before. I think now is the time to invest instead of hunting for airdrops because it may soon be time for the market to reverse course and have another altcoin season and a bull run.

Well it's true that we need to avoid airdrops that needed to connect to our wallet but not every airdrop needs to connect to our wallet. I never do airdrops anymore since most of them are not like airdrops but more like a task that we need to complete and then give them the benefit but the token is not guaranteed will be worth something.

For me nowadays  I don't want to participate in airdrops it because nowadays there are many scam air drops there during the event of airdrops. Not all but some nowadays I DONT KNOW why there are many scam sites promising good airdrops but when there project got loss then that will leave you in the air. But there are few project that good and successful so some people still receive good tokens.

It was never found reasonable to join airdrops at this time. I'd see huge changes happen compared to 5 years ago when most of us are getting crazy participating in them but for now, they are rejected knowing the fact that they are scams. Might some airdrops be true to their promise, yes they give tokens to the participants but too unfortunately still can sell them as they are not yet listed on any exchanges. Still useless and indeed a waste of time.

i just search on different websites for it like chatgpt which provide realtime data for different websites or search on youtube for real airdrops because there are many scammers are which just with people.

Still participants in many kinds of airdrop and based on my experienced still worth by joining airdrop project, but not the same with last five years ago where filled the form and coins directly sending to our wallet and available selling on etherdelta exchange market with values more than $50.

Right now need joining many kinds airdrop more than ten until sixteen if want earn profitable, not all coins from airdrop worth or have values because many kinds of airdrop distributed with few cent reward only and not enough converted fees sending. I don't try stop in join with many airdrop kinds because in weekly or monthly always have coins received from airdrop project although with not huge amount.

There was a time when I worked on a lot of airdrops.  The time was 2017.  Back then almost every project was a success due to which almost every Airdrops got some kind of payment.  Scam rates were low back then. But nowadays most Airdrops are scams.  Payment is very low.  So currently working on Airdrop is worthless.

It won't help much either.  Because now most of the projects are scams so even if they distribute tokens, those tokens do not have any value in the market or are not listed on the exchange. So instead of wasting time doing Airdrops, valuable time should be put to good use

    -    At that point you are right there, I recently watched new airdrops on a youtube channel, I just don't remember the name of the channel, because it is still new and the subscribers are not yet 100, I watched the video and platform which was in the video he was showing, then when I checked the website platform of what he was saying, I saw that they didn't have launchpad airdrops, instead, it was done.

I doubted it because the wallet needs to be connected, then to receive airdrops you need to pay a gas fee of bep20, I'm allergic to that style of airdrops so I just commented in the comment section on his channel that he's a scammer.

indeed now we have to be careful playing airdrop because when you connect your personal wallet you can get a virus or get phishing in your wallet you have to look deeper

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. Surely those people that fell for it would learn it anyway but if they did not that's where it is safe to call them the "s" word. I've been a victim of such scams before, and even got my private key almost stolen from airdrop emailed to me, but I learned it the hard way though it was complete stop for me on pursuing these types of airdrops anymore.

Some other users mentioned in here a better way of hunting airdrops, but I'll pass on that.

I'm still looking for aidrops even though most of them are scams. And even though some pay back to the hunters, they cannot be exchanged, and that is our risk because the current crypto trend is not as good as it was a few years ago.

If the airdrops are surely paying then, there is no problem with it. It's only up to the person that does the airdrops because sometimes there are airdrop hunters who are not really grateful on the reward that they get but they did not realize that the workload that they apply in doing the task is only minimal. Airdrops are different from the bounties.

I think there are ways to know if the bounty is paying or not compared to an airdrop because bounties have what we called a campaign manager. We can just apply to a bounty with a reputable campaign manager and it will be better if the funds are already at their hands or it was escrowed.

I have no experience with airdrop and I have not received any free coin before since I got into cryptocurrency,  this is because of my prior knowledge of how to scam the bounty projects have become lately and seen how most altcoins projects always end up as scams so it is not worth the time.

I have also heard some good stories about bounties on this forum but most of the good stories are from way back in 2017-2018.

When it comes to airdrop hunting, there are two types of airdrops.

1. Testnet Airdrops: In this scenario, You do not need real funds to get the airdrops. you can use the test tokens to test the projects/ecosystem  and give feedbacks.  
2. Mainnet Airdrops: In this scenario, You need real funds to get the airdrops.

Most of the YouTubers talk about mainnet airdrops only. So most of the users will lose their money trying to get rich quickly.

My other point is that sometimes projects' social media accounts could get hacked(Eg: Discord).  So then if the hacker has posted some scam links in the discord announcements about airdrops, we might blindly connect our wallet to get that airdrop as soon as possible. This is the most common way to expose our wallets to hackers.

You are right. We can't trust any airdrop channels both on YouTube and telegrams because almost all of them are scams. The airdrop era is over already, even bounty is no longer worth joining. That's why most forum members of this forum only focus on following signature campaigns paid in BTC, or focus on trading altcoins on exchanges to earn money.

I never click the airdrop links, I know it is very risky. In my opinion, even if the airdrop links can work but the result of the airdrop will be cents only. So, I simply forget it because I assume it just wastes time and effort.

I tried doing an airdrop hunting a few months ago but I ended up feeling upset with the result because most existing airdrops nowadays are clearly scams. They will asks for your details including your social media links and would ask you to do a lot of tasks but the payment isn't clear.
If we will look back on the airdrops that we had a few years ago, airdrops nowadays aren't that profitable anymore. I find it a waste of time so if you want to make a profit or earn good coins, better find other alternatives and opportunities in crypto world.

The current airdrop compared to a few years ago is very different. I've also stopped doing that even though before I always tried to find it but I'm currently not too focused on that because indeed my time is wasted a lot in searching and doing tasks but indeed as you said, the payment is not very clear which makes I quit.
It seems that the reason we are all almost the same is because regardless of anything, sometimes the pay is not worth the task that has to be done.

Those who are new in the crypto market will simply think that airdrops give them a chance to earn money but they never know that the developers of these projects just tricked them and the worse thing is that they will use this to collect personal information from the participants by urging them to comply their KYC in order to receive their rewards. And very unfortunate that they can't sell their coins as it was not yet been listed on exchanges, they are only stuck in their wallet hoping for nothing.

Indeed!

This would be their first step blocks on learning on crypto just like me into those earlier years where airdrops did really caught up my attention because you could basically earn some free tokens.
Wayback it was really just that simple on acquiring these things but nowadays it do really even asks out for some KYC or verification and some do even ask out for fee or tasks which is really that hard to
to be done or to complete.Also we do have lots of scam projects in the market which it would really be causing for you to deal with those shit ones and wasting
up your money basically on dealing with them.

For me airdrop is not profitable i did not remember that i earn from airdrop from year 2016 till today, it is a total waste of our precious time and almost all airdrop are allocating very small amount or profit so for me no for airdrop i like bounty hunting or doing signature task done doing airdrop.

I completely agree with this statement. It is important for crypto holders to be aware of potential scams and to exercise caution when it comes to airdrops. Many scammers use YouTube videos to lure unsuspecting individuals into fake airdrops and steal their tokens.

As suggested in the statement, it is always best to go directly to the project team or official Telegram group to inquire about any airdrops or giveaways. This helps to verify the legitimacy of the airdrop and avoid falling prey to scams.

Additionally, it is important to be aware of the risks associated with connecting your wallet to unknown or suspicious websites or links. It is always best to exercise caution and ensure that the site or link is legitimate before sharing any personal or wallet information.

I joined many airdrops a while ago but many times I could not cash out my rewards. This made me give up on airdrops and getting free tokens. Too many poor projects and not so much real value for my time and efforts. 

And the tokens I do have, they hold very low value. What I like to do is use my free tokens from the airdrops to buy Bitcoin with them. But it is not something that always works in my favor when no exchange will let me sell them for Bitcoin.

If we speak at this time, I also never again participated in Airdrop because since 2017-2018, many airdrop projects became frauds and made many people complain. In addition, if we want to get the airdrop gift, we must fill out a form containing our personal data for whatever they ask us to do it. I agree that many scam sites promise Airdrop that can provide huge benefits when the airdrop token goes into the market but in fact, they fled after getting something from us. We must avoid this and look for promising projects, but this is not easy because of the many projects out there that may be less than 10% that can succeed in the future.

Airdrop is outdated, since 2018 I have not seen a good airdrop campaign that paid good amount for money,  99% of the projects failed to pay and the few that paid are in few dollars, around, 1$ to 10$,  this was what I've seen in past airdrops I joined. The best way to earn free tokens from new projects right now is through testnet, today,  many new projects are still looking for testers and I have joined many, like Arbitrum, Shardeum,  zksync, and a few others, I believe that testnet is worth anybody's time than airdrops.

It would be better for the people who always participate in airdrops to set up a special wallet for airdrops and deposit a small amount of money into it, so that they can use this money for the transaction fees only. If the airdrop was legit, they could get the airdropped tokens and transfer them to another safe wallet, and if it was a scam, they would not lose a lot of money. I used to use this method to avoid getting scammed during the airdrop seasons in 2021 and 2022. However, the most profitable airdrops I got were sent directly to my wallet without claiming them. One of them was Juno for Atom holders.

I agree that airdrop is outdated but it's one of many options for new comers to get free tokens if they didn't know about how to join testnet, also many people join airdrop because they heard from their friends. What I know a lot of projects paid their rewards to the users but only a small amount was worth something.

Hunting is an understatement, you need to put in more effort and sometimes money to qualify for an airdrop, unlike what it used to be in the past when you don't do much to get airdropped. Things are really moving faster in the crypto space. I have not been able to qualify for any airdrop of late because of the processes involved. it is time consuming.
A lot of good and worthy airdrops have happened recently which I really regret not being a part of.

so many airdrops having restrictions in order to make many of airdrops participants waste their time and didn't get their rewards, that's one of the many reasons that I think airdrops in general aren't just worth your time anymore. I'd say you better off learning real skill and get better jobs than just wasting your life following some of the airdrops that certainly will result in disappointment usually.

I have given up on airdrops since 2018. At that time I thought I would spend a lot of time exploring crypto money niches but after only a few projects paid a trickle of value.  I focused on researching, learning investment strategies, learning how to build a plan.  I also admit that before 2017, airdrops really exploded in value of their own but perhaps after that, it has gradually decreased in value.

For now, the airdrop is indeed very difficult to make money. Personally, I haven't been looking for an airdrop for a long time. In fact, even today's airdrop is quite difficult to generate $ 1 or even $ 10 for each project worked on. some people said that among the many airdrops he worked on, only a few paid, and among the results of the payment, almost all of them had no price.

In previous years, there were still quite a lot of people looking to profit from airdrops. like doing a lot of airdrops, and maybe only a few pay, but from that little, it can be quite a lot of results. however, this year it seems that it has become even more difficult. I prefer to make money from the way you suggest, or maybe by learning trading or staking. from the various opinions that I get, currently working on airdrops just spends time.

My opinions is that it is better to avoid airdrops then try luck and participate in them. The only thing you can achieve right now is garbaging your wallet with trash tokens, that you receive from time to time due to activity of your wallet and etc. The more you flash your wallet in airdrops, the more scam projects send you their tokens to cheat you. Besides, projects with promising ideas dont use airdrops for promotions today. They dont need telegram groups filled with bots anymore, they dont need social medias trashed with thousands of replies and shares anymore. Such promotions dont work today.

There are quite a few types of airdrops and the airdrop that you mean is probably several airdrops that provide quite a lot of incentives such as Aptos, Optimism and the last one which is still quite new, namely BLUR. But to be able to get the airdrop, of course, you need capital to be able to interact with the platform, and it's also not easy to find. But for other types of airdrop there are still many that are easier, especially now that it is Web3 and the input and tasks for each airdrop are very easy and fast. We also don't know which one will give the big incentive, do all of them do their job and you will get the jackpot from one of them.

This may be due to the fact that there is actually a phase because looking at conditions like this for new people who are still very obsessed it is clear that they will always try to do this and that can be said to be natural because we have also experienced something like that.
But when they try more, of course they will also realize that conditions like this will not be as good as what is being done and indeed time can make that an answer later.
On the other hand, we also can't make bans or whatever it is for new people because indeed this is also not very good later, but when talking about suggestions, maybe this should be abandoned immediately, even though it is possible to try, but don't have high expectations for it.

Actually, I am joining airdrops again after 2yrs. I have a community in a social media platform wherein people send airdrops from reliable resources and also you can try to join airdrop in coingecko as well or coinmarketcap I heard that there are some new projects who gives airdrop in that website. As what I observe it is more good if your are joining an airdrop that is happening in Twitter and discord.

Only during bull runs. Because during bull runs for some reason or another everything has a value and that makes it worth it, and I support doing it during those times since I could make some profit with it. However, if we are talking about this bear market that we are in right now, then I would suggest not to do it because nothing really worths money at the moment.

I mean the big ones could be a good way to invest, bitcoin and ethereum and so forth but those are big ones and not have any airdrop, or if there is any airdrop or bounty that pays in stablecoins then that would be good as well. However, during the bear market, never take newly created tokens at all.

I remember last year, I did some airdrops and they were all shared to participants, I was happy when I received the airdrop and the price was showing in my trust wallet after I checked it on Coingecko, the Airdrop were worth almost $1.5k in value but on checking the liquidity, it was empty, users couldn't sell because there were no buyers, they tricked us into doing some task only to be given some worthless ardrops. Several scam airdrops I received were locked when they began trading; you could not sell them because the team was attempting to avoid a dump; I'm not always lucky with airdrops.

The market has changed a lot, and I can confirm that the old airdrops or bounty campaigns are dead, I mean, they are no longer profitable for us, we are just wasting our time. Nowadays, if people want to get started with cryptocurrency, the best way is to find an outside job and save money to invest. Never think that we can earn free money with just a few simple steps, those things are long gone. This is an investment market, money makes money, so nothing is free.

now the climate is different for airdrops in the past and now. if we only depend on income from airdrops it might feel heavy and true like a waste of time. on the other hand for prize campaigns are also not good in terms of income. therefore no matter how much income we get from all of this, of course we have to invest some of it. and I think this is an effective way for now and start to learn trading. especially now that more and more hunters are joining, of course reducing the portion of the prize

With more developing initiatives in the sector and a wide range of alternate prospects emerging in the market, the cryptocurrency industry is currently undergoing another type of diversification. Scams have become widespread, but we must exercise caution to avoid being victims. Airdrops are no longer profitable as of the time when we would devote all of our time to researching them in hopes that when they were launched, they would generate enormous profits as opposed to now, when it is all a waste of time because there are so many difficult chores to complete.

If you are joining an airdrop always use an new wallet especially that task requires for connecting in your wallet. It is best strategy not to get hack from that shady airdrops and always join from reliable sources or any famous airdrop groups in the telegram to assure legit airdrops. Of course never pay for airdrop, they are just free. If they ask fees for it, then it is a scam.

We really need to know where we connect our cryptocurrency wallets, but if we open special wallets for activities like airdrops and use them only for airdrops and the like, we would prefer a more secure method. We should not use the wallets where we store all our assets in unsafe places. If we do this, we will choose the most reliable and best option. It's hard to make money in this market, but it's easy to lose. We must always be careful. We have read and seen very bad stories before in this market.

Does it make sense to participate in drops today?It seems to me that today developers are not very interested in adequately rewarding new users. Most often the distribution of new tokens is more like a publicity stunt,but definitely not as income for new users.

of course sometime i still do that but not use that as my priority, like airdrop will not give certain income in a month, while u still need money and need to get certain amount of money.So i make airdrop not for priority but still do that.

In my opinion, to minimize getting scammed when participating in air drop research, first look for an official or large air drop, don't fomo or follow other people, do your own research, don't carelessly connect a wallet, if you can, use a cold wallet or a new wallet so that you don't get scammed when running a project or other air drops.

So that i don’t think Airdrop means free tokens, because you have to complete a few steps as like follow,tweet,share to their all social media platform, you can't participate without your own social media handle, most annoying thing is a lot of Airdrops asking to complete KYC that's absolutely high risky. Now it’s pretty difficult to get profit from Airdrop.

  In my opinion, it is not easy to find legitimate airdrops here in cryptocurrency these days. pay very little value and usually not even reach 1$.

Rather than participating in such a waste of time and effort, it's better to spend it studying in this industry. Also, sometimes those airdrops in new projects are used by fraudsters to phish their victims, so extra caution is needed.

I am looking for an airdrop need capital for first time joining but not exact date or detail about how much reward receiving, right now active trader and swap on several network kinds and hope later will get airdrop when launching their coins. I don't stop hunting airdrop because all my portfolio on exchange account from airdrop project.

I think still worth and effective when joining airdrop but need selective to know which one airdrop potential with huge reward when distribution begin, maybe with swap on new exchange launch and spent fees transaction above $10 seems potential higher reward receiving later than joining free airdrop.

But the airdrop that you say is dex is actually not easy, it even costs more than $10 or even $100 but it's not certain even though they will come as a new dex later and try to do bridges or other types of transactions actually this also doesn't guarantee it's just that now is the hype of the airdrop.

And it's true that the most important thing is to be selective in how you assess a project at the beginning it will become big later, even though this won't be easy if you believe in the airdrop so now there have been many popping up like this, but you don't know whether it will be successful or not.

Airdrops are no longer interesting or meaningful to me, except to do some airdrops to choose to buy promotions in the FCFS group in 2021. Also, I am no longer associated with airdrop projects, if  need advice for airdrop i think forget about airdrop and focus on bounty or learn investment experience, it will be much better.  Lol

It's a good warning for awareness. Do not integrate their wallets with links that you do not trust or consider suspicious to receive airdrops. Maybe those who do this job new wallet for these airdrop works. I haven't been interested in airdrops for a long time. Now the format of the airdrops has changed, giving more difficult missions. It is a time when you really need to take your time and do it knowing that you will gain no evil in the end.

It's not. The airdrops of the bull period were at least worth something and it was good, these days we have things that do not even worth anything at all and they are just futile working attempts and nothing more.

I highly suggest that if you are in the crypto world and want to be interested in making small amount of money, then chase faucets or something, don't know if there are still any, but it would be smarter. Hell go for community moderator jobs, there are websites with crypto jobs, and you could make a bit of money that way, otherwise it makes no sense to actually make a big attempt and work hard for any airdrop at all, they are all worthless.

I also ignore airdrop nowadays.  I used to be active in participating airdrops back 2015 - 2017 because airdrops during those years really worth a lot.  Developers are generous airdroping a Bitcoin worth of their token and there is no need to follow, retweet etc conditions.  We just need to drop our wallet address and voila, we are airdropped with their coins that is on the exchange for trading.

When 2018 come lots of scam project saturate the market, others even refuse to pay or send the promised airdrop so starting that year, I often ignore airdrop messages and invitation to participate.

You may have passed several potential airdrops in the past few years, many airdrops are worth more than $500-1k which I got during the previous 2 years vulnerable, even this year there was a list of potential airdrops but they did not produce high results because there were so many airdrop participants today and they still taking advantage of opportunities from airdrop revenue.

all of us mate actually are once become a victim from this scammers and yes I am not calling them S word instead being a willing victim is far from that because they allow this to happen like what you said after being scammed and yet you allow to happen?
but yes let other users for this and we will pass mate.

I highly agree, nowadays most airdrops are just a waste of the wallet. There is no value at all and I think that the developers of those tokens are just waiting to be traded on the market and make a community that can sell it once it has value then they can take advantage and dump it right away.

Hoping that there will be an airdrop that is worth it like before and not just created by developers who want to earn quick money by just scamming people.

Air drop projects are mostly fake and scam projects.  99 percent airdrop projects are scams and unsuccessful projects. Many times it is seen that during the air drop they ask to connect the wallet to their website and when the hunters connect the wallet to their website, the fraudster steals all the assets in their wallet. Apart from that Airdrop Hunters must be careful about this and always try to avoid connecting wallets to their website.

im still hunt because im here from 2017, that a long time ago, even if i only get little by little money from here or some airdrop.
i still hunt for that, because it really pay and i can earn money, we know maybe that not at all we can get money, like mostly project will fail than success.
but its not problem for me because I'm used to this situation.

no, to hunt for airdrop prizes just seems to tire me out of work. besides having no value, sometimes airdrop providers only use their participants to work for them and in the end they don't get paid as previously promised. this is the reason I no longer like and hunt for Airdrops.
but if there are people who like to chase airdrops to get free prizes, it's also not wrong to join, maybe there are airdrop providers who appreciate the work of their participants.

If you hunt airdrops since 2017, you must know how the difference between the old airdrops and the current airdrops. In 2017 or 2018, there were still many airdrops that can earn a good amount of money. While the current airdrops mostly just earn cents only. That's why people who hunt airdrops for a long time, aren't interested anymore to hunt airdrops nowadays. They assume it only wastes time and effort. So, I am surprised that you still want to hunt airdrops until now.

It is very difficult to get a legit airdrop now, most of the airdrops you will discover now are all scam and fake, some  people are launching airdrop just because they want to scam other people, why I don’t even know the reason why some people launch airdrop because the coin they will distribute is always useless, it will just be in your wallet without having any use. If you want to make money in crypto, it’s better you just get money and invest, stop wasting your time looking for free money.

I have hunter for.many airdrops and some I never get them because the team do not care about if we received our pay or not. After then I became very careful about the way I go for airdrops since I may do the normal task and never get any rewards. There are some that I made good profits from which makes me very happy to be a part of it.

As for prizes that are only obtained for free, namely Airdrops, I noticed that there were no airdrops like we used to see before. Everything changes and we adapt to it gradually. Don't be surprised if many cryptocurrency projects become scams and if we are not careful we will have so many bad projects that will make investors lose money every time.

As a free bounty hunter, I will never stop finding interesting prizes provided by prize managers, whether it's in the form of airdrops or prizes given in ongoing bounty programs. therefore I will continue to look for the gifts that are given.

I have not done this for a long time, but before I was really active at these airdrops, especially the days when you could at least get $5-10 for every project that will give out their coins. Now, it's all either dust or zero. It's back in the days when Etherdelta was still alive, I have no idea if they are still running. Because it can easily be sold for Ethereum and cashed out.
Never have I seen recently a project which airdropped a coin that gained value. Most of them are just created for fun, scammers, or those without a future. Continuing this kind of path is just a waste of energy and effort and you are wide open for an attack. I would not recommend it anymore and it's a pain in the ass finding where those airdrops came from.

for me "yes" because airdrop already give me some money and that prove that airdrop has pay, but yeah many project maybe will scam or we got our token but cannot sell it because no value there, but there will be good project and you will get that if you do all the aridrop.

As for me, I still hunt for airdrops but like once in a Blue Moon and I have different wallets specially created for them. I've been scammed back in 2018 using a basic "link-clicking" trick, so I try not to get scammed again.

can you share at least the recent airdrop that you partake and how much you've earn? because it is easy said than done as there are so much scam happening in airdrop nowadays like how ICO scam people back in the years.
like what i asked above , can you name those airdrop that had paid you as claimed?

Most of the airdrop events is a scam, it will drain you wallet once you use the airdrop. A lot of them is from known coins or nfts some of them is random so you can tell already that something is fishy with that airdrop. But from my experience, I've encountered an airdrop which is legit and easy money I can tell its legit because I've participated in the given event with the assurance from the team. Its important to ask first before clicking once you click some fake, you assets will be gone in just sec. Always check the source and the wallet address because you can get lucky sometimes if its legit and you thought it was a fake airdrop.

Yes, this happens a lot and we take it for granted in Airdrops, I've also had some pretty high payouts from airdrops in recent years, but lately more and more airdrops are scams and just trash you get, and maybe something like that. that's the project fighter airdops, just depends on luck.
I want to ask do you have a special classification of working on airdrops, or do you take everything available in the media and you do it all? Sometimes I feel lazy in doing airdrops because a lot of them are worthless, can you give me a suggestion.

It is true that there are many fake airdrop incidents that aim to cheat people and steal their assets. It is important to be careful and do your due diligence before attending any airdrop event. It is a good practice to check the source and wallet address to ensure the legitimacy of the airdrop. It is also a good idea to verify the information provided and research the project and the team behind it. However, it is important to note that all airdrops are not a guaranteed way to make money and should not be relied upon as the sole source of income. Always exercise caution and use common sense when participating in any crypto related activities.


I joined Airdrops a long time ago. Many of them got good profit from Airdrops like DAPPX, LTX, Zilliqa etc. Some of them cost $100+. And I know some Telegram channels where legitimate airdrops are shared such as Airdrop Detective, Airdrop Inspector, Airdrop Ninja, Official Airdrop6, Airdrop Star etc

It can be said that the game of hunting Airdrop has become more and more difficult and complex. You will not be able to earn much if you do not invest in them. Do all you can with all your might. Very few cases are really lucky to receive huge remuneration. I've seen APTOS and now people are coming to SUI like crazy.

New projects these days use are taking advantage of their airdrop participants. Instead of getting paid, participants usually end up as the one who is paying and buying their coins. Fake projects are here and there and are just launching airdrops to fool people so it's really hard to trust airdrops nowadays. I think it's already rare to find legit and trusted airdrops because some projects these days were only made to scam people.

During the peak time of bitcoin and bull run, you are right that doing airdrops definitely was a smart thing to do, even if some of them did not pay, you could participate in like 10-20 of them in a single day, and that means even if one of them paid, that wasn't bad.

People made hundreds of dollars by just retweeting something, and that's per month, not per project. I highly recommend staying away from them right now because that really doesn't mean that it could work very well for a while, it is going to end up with being something quite terrible in the short period of time, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a good profit today, we need to wait for the bull.

yet there are victims right? because people here still does not learn from the past when there are lots of airdrops that does not pay or paying but just stupid amount far from the promised amount.
and now there are cases that participants are buying their project and ending? scammed lol.
we must together airdrop banning  before it goes rampant again like the old days as there are still willing victims.

I wonder if those amount is still possible to these days. I never earned a single penny from airdrops ever and I do not even receive a token from my MEW back then. What's worse is that some fake projects just wanted to mess with me by trying to bait me into their phishing site which they believe that I would easily fall, lol.

The same could be said almost to some bounties I joined although I know they're a little bit different from each other.

Even though I'm no more sourcing for airdrop now. I can say that from late 2019 to 2021, I made a few bucks from it. I can remember the Blockchain airdrop where they give $25 for just having an account and doing KYC.

Also, there was also an airdrop from Houbi, I think they rewarded around $5 then. hahaha

While it's a small amount, it's something one can do in their free time and get rewarded.

I think that's because we are still in the bear market. Don't forget that we have been here for a long time now. If the majority of the coins are down and not paying the investors and traders a lot, how much more the airdrops when they are free? My advice is hold those coins or tokens that you got from the airdrops and wait for the bull market. That is the time that you will know if the airdrop that you get is a hidden gem and not a scam.

A good airdrops don't depend on the luck alone but you can increase your chances of getting them if you will do a research. Don't do airdrops that you see on social media or on the ones offered by the influencers because their quality are mostly bad.

The only airdrop I wanted was for EthereumPOW when it came online but I forgot and I couldn't get much of it because I had some ETH in my wallet and wanted some ETHW when the fork happened but I missed,it was basically free money as the beginning the price of ETHW was over 100 dollars so that was a quick buck for me that I missed.

I only got curious about airdrops after seeing an address which had collected a huge amount of ETH and that address had gotten much of it from airdrops since the beginning and that is why I was looking for such things myself.

However all airdrops you point out are most likely scam and I would stay away from them.

Though I'd never help myself joining again in the airdrop, I still know that some projects are generous to give rewards to the hunters. But unfortunately, we can never expect it to have a good market value because most of these airdrops are not yet listed on any exchanges. It means that even though we got those rewards, still useless as we can never sell them. I'd never see this would be a reason why it was encouraging to join them. Yes, they are free and lesser tasks but if the situation just ended up stuck in our wallet, that is useless.
We can't really find airdrops like before...not anymore, maybe.

The number of individuals accessing the cryptocurrency market increases. The ICO was first launched in 2013 and was widely available until the launch of ETH 2.0. People are getting wiser to invest in projects.
Airdrop is not without value even if it is a scam project. Is it important that we are sober enough to get out of the scam rewards? In 2022 my friend made more than 1 million dollars. He is a true hunter. He got his hands on all the projects. Quantity is more important than quality is his point.

and it turns out that it was being abused of scammers and yes thousands of people become a prey of those scam project and a victim .
sorry to say but i believe that ICO is a complete mess in crypto investment world.
yeah it is your friend but have you? or at least another friend of yours? if not then it is still a complete laziness to believe in airdrop when a gainer is just few percent of the losers?

I honestly think that the good old days of claiming Airdrops almost without stress and risks are gone, what we now have are scam projects trying to use airdrop participants to expand their reach and in some cases airdrop hunters get scammed too.

Sad that I have missed out on few good Airdrops like Core and Aptos because I don't take Airdrops seriously anymore and I think I prefer safety to getting few dollars at the expense of getting scammed.

There was a time when a lot of profit could be made by airdrop and bounty.  There was a time around 2018 when the number of scam projects was very low compared to many.  Now when I talk about airport I would say it's just a waste of time. I currently do not join any of these airdrops or bounty campaigns and do not prefer anyone else. Even after that, I will tell those who want to join these airdrops to connect the wallet by creating a new wallet and then connect. It happened to me once that everything in the wallet was transferred immediately after connecting.

Yeah, it was around 2017 - 2019.

If I still remember correctly, a lot of projects are offering free airdrops and some of them are requiring KYC which I really don't like and ignore it. That's why it would be rare if big projects that have a lot of partners will give free airdrops today.

In these kinds of situations it is very difficult to find legitimate airdrops, but if you know where there are legitimate airdrops there is no problem.

I don't participate in the airdrops that are only seen on Telegram because all the airdrops here on these apps are all scams, especially the bots that are used, don't believe it because that's not true, believe me.

Yes, I hope so on next month I will received good drop from White Whale (Juno).

Numerous alarms have been raised about fake airdrops and bounty scams that have exposed the wallet addresses of innocent people to danger. The majority of airdrops today are fake or scams; they are only designed to obtain people's wallet addresses and defraud them by using the coins they already have in the wallet. As a result, airdrops are now something to be afraid of because they will undoubtedly ask you to connect your wallet, and once you do that, you will probably be scammed. We must exercise extreme caution.

Right because scammers also trying their best and find ways to deceive people so some of them use the airdrop to deceive their possible victims and drain their wallet. Some other offer to give bigger share if they deposit some amount to support their project which is bad decision to take by airdrop hopefuls. So if we want to participate on airdrop we make sure that they never ask some funds to us or ask to put our private key to their links to avoid scams.

Of course, you can make airdrops from time-tested projects. Now I don't spend much time on it. But here, too, you can’t immediately guess what will shoot. But sometimes you can get a good bonus

That is a very good advice.I have also been a victim of fake airdrop,my funds was immediately wiped out when I connected my wallet.Have since stop joining airdrops since most are scams, currently doing bounties because there are more safer and more secured.

True, it seems that airdrops in the past were more promising than they are now which are mostly scams. I can compare maybe 1 in 100 airdrops that really pay and even then the amount is not big.
Until now, I'm still hunting for airdrops, but there aren't many of them, unlike the past, and what's unique is that when we take part in an airdrop, what we think is promising ends up being a scam, and when we don't participate, we pay instead. I don't have a problem with that, because I'm just doing it in my free time.

This is a good reminder to be cautious when participating in airdrops and to always verify the legitimacy of the campaign before connecting your wallet. It's best to go directly to the project's official channels to confirm any airdrop or giveaway information, rather than relying on potentially fraudulent YouTube videos. Taking these steps can help protect your crypto assets from scammers.

So i recently visited the bounty section to look at what was happening and i saw tons of active bounties and airdrops and that make me wonder, about how many of those projects actually turns out to be successful.
Because the value of those bounties and airdrops is in the success of the project and majority of them have turned out to be scam in recent times, so at that i will totally avoid them infact i have never participated in any of them before because their worthless and becomes spam tokens in my wallet and i wont want anything of such.

I have not been participating in airdrops lately,because there is simply no profit there, and even if there is,it is scanty.Often, for subscriptions in all social networks,you can get project tokens,but they are given so little that sometimes it’s not even enough for a commission when transferring the same tokens.

There are still many active airdrops and bounties in the bounty section, but the projects look unconvincingly and most of the airdrops/bounties are managed by unfamiliar bounty managers. Personally, I see no chance to gain big money from the current airdrops and bounties, none of them provided by the projects with strong fundamentals. So, it is better to focus on following the signature campaign paid in BTC only, just avoid joining those airdrops and bounties paid in new altcoins. I believe they just waste our time and efforts.

I'm still hunting for Airdrop. I will continue to follow any prizes provided in this Forum as long as they are received, be it bounties or airdrop prizes provided. sometimes it is also true that airdrop organizers only use their participants to campaign for their project, but there are also those who pay participants. stay optimistic about getting prizes from the Airdrop

In part, of course, you are right. Firstly, it takes time that is better spent on more necessary things. Secondly, yes, it is sometimes just a meaningless input of your data. Although it is sometimes profitable, it is very rare

I cant even remember when the las time participated on any airdrop. From my perspective airdrop is not worth it. I know bounty is also scam but i dont have any time and energy to do both airdrop and bounty at same time.

Identity theft is a huge issue. Imagine if somebody you will never know or be able to find uses your identity to take out a loan for money? Really not a good position to be in, personally. Its scary to think that there are so many scammers offering fake airdrops for a fake project, just to gather identity information from those who are naive enough to provide KYC for an airdrop/bounty.

Identity theft ruins lives.

I'm still doing some, and I think the same as before most projects don't pay. but there are still projects that do.
so I still do that although sometimes it doesn't get the result.
but people who get money from airdrop will still do that same as bounty.

I stopped participating in airdrops almost three years ago.Feel there are not worth the effort most of them don't pay participants at the end while many others are scams.Lost almost a hundred dollars due to a scam airdrop that hacked my wallet.I only participate in bounties nowadays cause they are more safer.

Chance of you getting malwares from those suspicious links are high and you shouldn't ever click that strange links you find in the internet, most of the youtube videos out there are released just for the sake of views and baiting the uneducated people out there with the hope to get the single penny with little or no effort at all. I'd prefer to stay away from that.

There were pretty "okay" airdrop site like this one: https://coinmarketcap.com/airdrop | But I think it is no longer running for more than 3 month so that's it I guess.

It's possible that you can still continue to earn income from Airdrop. Especially for those who have a lot of followers on social media accounts. Or they have a telegram group that is managed to share some information from Airdrop via referrals. But for me it's something difficult. I don't have any of that, social media with low followers.
But unfortunately most projects launched via Airdrop have a low success rate. Yes, it's not wrong if we try it, of course 1 of the many that we join will be successful.

I'm not connected to AirDrop. But I have participated in a few airdrops in my life. But from there I was able to earn a pretty big balance. Since then I am no longer connected to AirDrop. All airdrops these days are basically full of scams. Many people enter here and lose their wallets. So those of you who are connected to airdrops should be very careful. Otherwise you will fall into scams.

If you are really serious and you want to earn on airdrop, Yes it is very possible to still earn money though it will be a tedious job especially if you will start from scratch like having little to none follower count on social media. But yeah, There are still method in increasing social media followers or telegram members. I still don't recommend doing airdrops though given that it is still a hit and miss and the miss chance is just so high that you will be disappointed to see how many failed/scam project you will be encountering and just trashing your efforts doing their task to be eligible to their airdrop.

I think at the time of bearish, airdrops could quite literally be one way of accumulating some coins that could maybe have the potential of making it big once trend is changing.
coins like aptos that is from airdrops are quite worth it enough for long term holding, surely airdrops like that would appear again eventually though the chance might be slim.

I completely agree with you that many of the airdrop videos on YouTube are scams and should not be trusted. It is always better to be cautious when it comes to connecting our crypto wallets to external sources.

My recommendation: one of the best ways to ensure the authenticity of an airdrop campaign is to directly contact the project team or join their official telegram group. This way, we can have a direct conversation with the team and find out if they are doing any airdrops or giveaways.

It is important that we remain vigilant and do our due diligence before signing up for any airdrop campaign. By doing so, we can avoid falling prey to scams and losing our valuable tokens.

My interest for airdrops has almost vanished completely because new good projects don't use airdrops to promote their projects anymore, most airdrops are scams and I am not ready to waste my time, if you want to participate in any airdrops always ask the team because some airdrops are not official, they are traps from scammers.

Now even participating in signature campaigns has become unprofitable in many ways. First of all, due to the fact that there are very few new projects where such a bounty company is envisaged, and there is practically no choice left for the forum participants. Therefore, recently, in the branches about new bounty campaigns, information about new tokens has not been indicated, and it is sometimes very difficult to find such information yourself.
Participating in airdrops now is not only not profitable, but also dangerous, since you can lose both your account and the cryptocurrency in your wallet.

People already make thousands of dollars through airdrops, the latest one is Arbitrum, I am sure that metamask and zksync will follow, some are testnet tasks while others are just the same old ways of participation, I think the best time to engage in airdrops is now, we will see many new projects releasing their tokens this year into 2024, do not sleep on these projects .

1. LayerZero
2. Quai Protocol
3. Sei Network
4. Sui Protocol.
5. Zksync
6. Metamask.

I don't think airdrops in general are worth your time anymore. I'd say you're better off learning a real skill and getting a better job than just wasting your life following a few airdrops which will usually result in disappointment.

Yes, I know that many earn from airdrops and there have been dedicated hunters for it.

Those that have became full time with it understands the risk that they're in. The amount of time that they're allocating on it has given them the ups and downs of it just as what you've said the latter.

Also, they've experienced several common and uncommon ruling as per the project's management towards the distribution of airdrops like full KYC is being implemented before the participants will be eligible for any release of tokens and rewards.

not only airdrop on youtube, even airdrops on telegram groups and on other social media are many scams. wherever you find an airdrop if you have to connect a wallet with a particular site it's better to use a new wallet because we don't know what will happen in the future.

Of course, not all of the token airdrops are worthless, but most of them are not. therefore if we have free time there may be nothing wrong, and usually it is not difficult to participate, but indeed implementing KYC will be troubling for us because we do not yet know how much we will receive, so that it can be said that it is feasible, on the other hand we have to send our identity to get the prize, currently it is also busy in one of the BP groups posting airdrops to follow

I'm still hunting for airdrop, because sometimes I still get profits from airdrop, it's just that I never use the same wallet as the assets I have, so I'm never afraid to participate in any airdrop and I still participate in airdrop, because I think airdrop are like treasure, sometimes i get zonk but sometimes i get jackpot, then of course i have nothing to lose following airdrop, because it's free and very easy to participate in airdrop.

Although it depends on the level of search of each person and the way to exploit the airdrop is also different. Since a long time I have only seen airdrops with social media missions as scams. And among the airdrops that I see the prospect of the top projects developing on L1 L2 they all need users to check and use, the chances of getting the airdrop are great but the competition between the community is also great.

It's easy to join them but when it's about their ruling, that's where things don't go accordingly to my expectations, to our expectations.

Those KYC really are destroying the traditional setup that these airdrops have gone through and many of us don't like to proceed with KYC. But, those that have invested time on them, they want to make sure that they get something from them.

So in the end, they still comply even if they don't like to proceed and to provide ids.

at the moment I am no longer hunting for airdrops because many have joined airdrops but all of them are scams, therefore I am not sure about airdrops anymore, maybe in the future the airdrops will come back good again in the sense that there are no more scams, so I will join again.

Taking a decision of not hunting airdrops must be a good decision because trying to work for some money that isn't promised is not the type of thing that I like to do. Don't get me wrong there is a good reason why we are seeing these type of situations take a hold of bitcoin and why it is not going to be easy at all to get rid of them.

There were so many examples in the past that made a lot of money with what they have, and that is why I believe that we are seeing the current situation to be a bit different and difficult compared to the past. I believe that it is going to go away part by part, it is going to end up like no airdrops are being done in the market eventually, but that will take some years before it happens and we need to wait.

What can you expect from them? They are only a type of side line jobs. They are not like trading which you can do for full time and use your skills in force in order to become really profitable. We are still in the bear market, and that might be the reason why only a few projects have came out nowadays. Most projects will only come out once the bull run arrives because it gives them an easy/early boost.

People will sell their cryptos and have the money to invest on newer projects. When participating in bounty or airdrop, it's better to use a new wallet so that your old assets are safe, in case they require us to connect our wallet and we don't know that they are a scam later on.

I also never join any airdrop because of the same reason. Too many airdrops from scam projects, rarely get real projects. And even though there are real projects, they only pay cents for airdrop tasks. So, working on airdrops isn't worth it anymore. In the future, we don't know whether the airdrop era will be good again or not. It depends on the projects whether there are many good projects or not. Also, it is about the allocation for airdrop tasks, if no improvement we only waste time and effort because we earn cents only (a very small amount of money).

from the start i don't hunt airdrop it is just a waste of time for me, I don't remember i earn in airdrop since i start in crypto, I'd rather do bounty hunting than airdrop hunting because most of the airdrop pay useless token, although there are also good airdrop that pay good token but in a very small amount so it is better to be safe than to fall into scam.

Haven't been hunting for airdrops in a long time, if you follow it it's just a waste of time the pay is not worth the task ordered the average that is obtained is a garbage token now there are those who use a way to connect a wallet if you find something like that it should be considered

I no longer want to look for airdrops, because in my opinion airdrops are just a waste of time and effort, there are no significant benefits to be gained from airdrops. in fact, most airdrops require filling out KYC and this can be very dangerous if our personal data is misused by irresponsible parties, so you should be wiser in choosing airdrops if you still want to participate

I really don't believe in any air drops. Because there is a high chance of being cheated. But I will not say that all are bad. I never have any intention to join airdrop from the last year. I didn't get anything in any airdrop. I joined a few airdrops last year but found nothing but a waste of time. Also I find it annoying if someone shares an airdrop link.

I guess airdrops are seasonal just like altcoin having season, when there's good airdrops usually many good airdrops also comes after.
right now it's optimism, arbitrum, and many more, so yes it's still worth to hunt airdrops in general since it usually didn't take much time.

it seems like almost all of us have the same reasons why we don't look for airdrops anymore. however, for airdrop hunters, this is a tough thing, because they are used to making money there. it's just that, some airdrops like arbitrum are still quite appropriate to think that airdrops still have a little potential. however, maybe now it's rare for airdrops to provide proper profit, but I hope that in the future, airdrops will provide appropriate pay for their workers.

Participating in the airdrop this year is getting harder now because you need to spend money for gas just to be able be eligible in any such swap and liquidity on projects. There are free but it's harder because testnet airdrops is not for everybody hence its more technical stuff and very hard to understand sometimes on my part.

For me, some of the airdrop criteria in the past time are really easy to get huge amounts of money, I have received almost all airdrops from Aptos, OP, Blur, ZZ,... and prepared Next is the ARB.
I really don't understand why people are having a hard time with these free coins, because just by following and using the project as regular users, we almost have a chance to receive the reward.
However, some people are abusing this to cheat, and Arbitrum shows me to be more or less honest with this market.

Airdrops no longer give away money like they used to in the past when they were valuable. In my opinion, nowadays, they are mostly a waste of time unless the project is legitimate and already has lots of investors holding the coin. However, you would not get a decent amount like you could in the past, similar to bounties nowadays.

I don't know if this will change, but if it does, this is not the right time. Maybe in the next bull run, right after Bitcoin hits its all-time high, altcoins will have their bull run as well.

Can anyone here made a decent income from airdrop last year or this year?

To be honest, I'm still confused about how they access our wallet just by connecting our wallet to their site, usually when we have to agree to some kind of signature linking our wallet we can read there, then how can they take full access to our wallet.

From the experience I've seen I've found fake airdrop sites and when connecting our wallet it redirects to a new Tab to enter the wallet key, I think that's how hackers take our money, still not sure how hackers work it takes full access just by connecting the wallet, if indeed there was a case of loss of money before make sure he never gave his wallet keys not because they linked his wallet. My advice is to make sure to look for an airdrop from the official site

I feel like a bull market is coming. All of these airdrops happening, especially ARB - a nice injection of money into the market. I would be stupid not to hunt for airdrops.
Currently I am taking a look at ZkSync and Scroll. Got a couple more projects on my list, but these are the next 2 I'll be active on.

I still have interest in airdrops and this arbitrum token has given me even more zeal to keep giving my best short on airdrops but not all of them will be successful, most airdrops won't pay and some will never come up with tokens because they are going to remain dead projects, so do not be fooled by the present bitcoin price, a big rejection with still come.

if there are still those who believe in airdrops, of course there is no problem and that is the right of every individual who cannot be prohibited, let alone want to intervene. like you who are still practicing and want to do it, of course because there is something you can believe in and if you want to do it, of course you have your own considerations and I still appreciate this. but as you also said about airdirop, until now I have not and haven't touched on the name airdrop for a long time, because I don't believe it will be able to provide benefits if you follow it even though it's fairly easy, because most of them are scams.

We can't expect that airdrops is gonna be profitable to us but we cannot deny the fact that there are certain airdrops give really a good profit to their participant.

Arbitrum(arb) is the new project perfect example which give good profits to their airdrop participants they are been listed on binance recently. For sure there are more something like this will exist so keep joining if you want to earn on airdrops since one of them is a gem.

But make sure you use dummy wallet for participating airdrop and do testnet to avoid getting hacked. Also never give any amount on project saying they are giving more bigger rewards since this is also a scam.

i think one should never have thinking that they deserve massive rewards from the airdrop they follow, the good rewards always come once in a while, take a look arbitrum it's massive, certainly not all airdrops having same rewards, but regardless it's massive.

always follow airdrops if it's coming from legit project with legit devs optimism, arbitrum, and aptos good example of airdrop that could turn ones life around so if you've got nothing to do and you can finish their given task you better finish them because they could be turning your life around usually if you're lucky enough, though many airdrops are just giving away shitcoin but some are giving golds.

In the past airdrops used to give good rewards. Nowadays things weren't the same as we need to be lucky to get slot for the airdrops. Most of the reputed projects do airdrops with limitations. This is good, but the same doesn't reach most of the users and many projects have begun to conduct it along with the exchanges. Here the exchanges have certain criteria with trading volume and other stuffs to claim airdrops. This way the airdrop is getting complex with less chance of getting rewarded.

Sometimes I still hunt for airdrops, but indeed most airdrops end up worthless, it's just that there is nothing to lose for hunting airdrops, but what you have to pay close attention to is avoid airdrops that ask for KYC in detail, this can be abused which ends in a scam

Airdrops are making a comeback this year, with Arbitrum starting the hype, now many people are rushing to make transactions on Zksync net to be able to qualify for their airdrops, also the zksync main net is out days back, I guess we will see more airdrop actions this year.

I don't think airdrops are still worth it nowadays.Stopped hunting for airdrops when my wallet was hacked and almost one eth was stolen from it.There are still other airdrops that are worth it but one has to be very careful and select the best one to participate in.

Be awear about DM msgs on, Telegram, Discord, Twitter..Don't connect your wallets to unknown sites, Always check project official platforms and their announcements before click the airdrop links!

I have never participated in Airdrops supported by influencers on youtube, I am more interested in retroactive Airdrops, where you will get rewarded in the future, but as we know, don't expect much profit from Airdrops because no one knows what will happen in the future.

Really, I am not a fan of altcoin so I don't know much about airdrops but the little I have read about airdrops is that their total waste of time since the payment is small and most of those coins never get listed on exchanges.

So only newbies who do have not much knowledge about the cryptocurrency market and are willing to waste time taking part in airdrops and bounties

I think you also need to change your ingrained mindset, after years of being in this market I've seen a lot of people wasting time reaching for worthless airdrops. And maybe that's part of the essence of how people view free money in cyberspace. However, in the past few years, some changes in the way airdrops reach users have also brought many new opportunities to earn money for everyone, although it is not an attractive job for me but I think if someone is ready to stick with that belief then they might as well get a good chance.

The examples mentioned are some examples of airdrops that are still worth fighting for. because of that, until now there are still quite a lot of people hunting for airdrops. it's just that, it applies to well-known and trusted projects. Many people are stopped from hunting for airdrops because it seems that so many airdrop hunters are not getting paid what they deserve. the example mentioned is an example of a 1 in 10 airdrops that might pay out.

Most of the airdrop tokens are worthless. Among them there are very few airdrops that pay very well like UNI airdrop. Arbitrum airdrop campaign is currently running which could be worthwhile. Other than these, airdrops are nothing but a waste of time. Also, before entering the link shared by different people, you must know the authentic news from the official website or twitter or telegram channel.

Of course everyone's wishes are different. I think it really depends on the level of seriousness they take. If they really focus on Airdrop, it wouldn't be wrong if they tried it. In fact, I found someone who talked about Airdrops, and they continued to follow projects launched based on Airdrops, and kept them in the long term. He showed me the wallet, to ask to check if it was listed on the exchange. Of course it's a very busy job. How could it not be, in his wallet there are already hundreds of tokens whose value is not detected.

It is very rare to find airdrops like UNI or Arbitrum.
Most airdrops just pay for cents, or the tokens/coins will have no price because they never list on exchanges. I also experience that many airdrops become dead tokens/dead coins because the developers/teams have gone.

No guarantee that the tokens/coins from airdrops in the future will have good prices although the official sites and their media social look good. The scammers become smarter now, they can make very convincing projects but it is just a trap.

just make some proper analysis beforehand and then decide whether you should follow the airdrops, honestly if it's just some measly simple tasks then following one is definitely no problem, after all no one can know whether the airdrops gonna be life changing, otherwise everyone would flock into it, but I'd say it's still worth it following some of the airdrops, but not all.

I believe 99.9% of the airdrops are a waste of time except a handful like the recent Arbitrum. If you are still hunting for airdrops and hopefully that at least one of them would be a big jackpot, much better that you are going to use a dummy wallet rather than your main wallet.

I see that some of my social media friends are still hunting for those not knowing if it's guaranteed that they would be receiving tokens for just having transaction histories in those Dapps, DEXs, etc. But those same people are also prone to being hacked not just one or twice, but multiple times already because of rushing not to miss that airdrop.

I haven't been hunting airdrops for a long while because of being busy with a lot of stuff. I'd rather focus on building my portfolio and social media channels, grow my community, keep giving value, etc.

I don't go after airdrops because I think they're usually a trap. The people in charge of the airdrop already know who they want to give it to, so joining their official groups won't make a difference. Also, you should never connect your crypto wallets to unknown sources. It's better to be safe than sorry!

Not every airdrop advertised on YouTube channels is a scam. There are legitimate airdrops available, but the challenge is identifying which ones will pay well and which won't. I can recall the times in the past when I did participate in airdrops. I participated in a lot of airdrops, but they ended up paying me far less than I anticipated (it's sort of annoying). As a result of that, I made the decision to never again get involved in anything involving airdrops because, in my opinion, it was a complete waste of time.

Why people still stupid to connect their main wallets/doing airdrops with their main wallets? My main wallet is a ledger wallet. I keep all my assets in their. But I use trust wallet to do transactions. Also I have metamask wallet to participate airdrops or giveaways. And that wallet will never hold 20$+  8)

"Airdrops are generally worthless." However, I don't trust a lot of airdrops now. I have filled out thousands of airdrops, but I have only received 2-4 good ones in 5-6 years, so I think filling out airdrops is a waste of time. That's why I haven't been paying attention to airdrops for a long time and I don't even advise anyone to connect their wallet whom they ask to do so.

The airdrop that is aired on Youtube is only for making new videos. They will make money from YouTube views, not from Airdrop. Whereas those of us who follow them gain nothing from it. It would be nice if you take part in the Airdrop available on this forum. However, for paid guarantees, it is also not certain.

What you have just explained is the reason why I won't join random airdrops instead I choose an airdrop that I have knowledge about the project or you could say it is the same as finding a project worth to invest by making a research about it if it is legit or have a potential that it will make it or it is a scam therefore I only choose what I think is good to participate and how I choose is base on what I gather during my research.

That's because people think that they may have a chance to earn good money from airdrops.
Although most airdrops are garbage, there are 1-2 airdrops that still give people a good amount of money. For example Arbitrum, some people claim that they get big money from this project airdrop.

Sure, it is not the right way to connect your main wallet to an untrusted project. I also will never use my main wallet for airdrop projects. It is better to create a new wallet for airdrop purposes.

A lot of Airdrops are now a waste of time since its like gambling with your luck, many tokens that we got from Airdrop become worthless due to many dumps from other participants. Just like the Arbitrum token when they give massive airdrop to many people the price is dumped so hard.

In my opinion, what is meant by avoiding fake links on YouTube is that once connected to your wallet, your wallet will be empty, because most of these links have a high potential for phishing sites, because people will be easily tempted and lured by airdrops

Most airdrops are not worth it nowadays but there are still few good ones going out there.One has to make good research to choose the best ones.There are so many scam aidrops that can hacked ones wallet and steal all your funds so one need to be very careful.

Airdrops are free money, so why won't you hunt for them, the thing is that there are many of them now, so you need to be careful not to waste your time chasing some that won't be rewarding, it seems this trend of giving tokens to users of the platforms will likely continue since SEC is frown at tokens sales to retail investors, just for it to be acceptable as a non-security token. People made a few thousand from $ARB and those that specialized in Airdrops farming made as high as $1 million

I'd say this is true, but for many newbies, this could also expose them to some risk, there has been many reports that some of the dapps have the capability of draining address quite literally stealing other people's money.
with that, i think even though airdrops in general are free, we should also watch out for potential of losing money.

yes, airdrops are still very good to follow, especially now that the trend is to follow the testnet from Layer 2, like Arbitrum,
many people get thousands of dollars, and of course that is the enthusiasm of airdrop hunters to be active again looking for potential airdrops.
I really regret it because I didn't follow ARB and make transactions there, therefore we don't do this mistake again as an airdrop hunter.

With the trend that we have now, It is very possible to profit on airdrops especially that Arbitrum who has recently release is one of the biggest airdrops that has airdrop hunters profited on. It is one of the anticipated projects and there are other airdrop projects that is being waited by everybody to be released. I believe that Arbitrum is what makes airdrop hunting lively again and encourage airdrop hunters to not to give up despite of scams and unreliable airdrops before. Today, Airdrops projects are increasing day by day because of the trend and I believe that there will be more airdrops like these soon.

at the moment there are a lot of airdrops, but it’s pointless for me to participate in them because they pay very little for airdrops. it used to be possible to earn money on this, for example, in 2018 I received 1000 dollars for airdrops, that’s what I understand was earnings for participation. for this time I have not seen such earnings

It is best to first evaluate the project before entering to follow the airdrop, but many airdrop hunters overlook this because most airdrops offer simple chores and huge prizes, thus this is neglected. Your advise is extremely appropriate in this regard. for the AirDrop hunter since we may avoid fraud by questioning the project manager or owner about it.

I have joined many airdrops before but never received any payment. Even if I got some tokens from one of them, I could not sell them because the transaction fee is higher than the sale. I haven't joined airdrop for a long time after that. But recently I joined Arbitrum airdrop because there was a lot of publicity about it on social media.

Yeah, many airdrops are not worth something or we didn't receive any payment because the project is stopped in the middle of progress. We can keep hunting for airdrops until we get something precious tokens to sell as long as we keep patience and do not give up on the first try.

There are many airdrop we had participated in the past and we did not receive the actual rewards that was promised that is why we see in these days people that had have that experience do not bother themselves on that again. The market is huge and there are so many things we can do with our time that will yield better rewards that wasting those precious time on airdrop hunting.

Everyone who hunts airdrop must experience this. Unfortunately, there are too many shit projects, the developers only want investors' money. When they get enough money from investors, then they will disappear. When the projects immediately stop in the middle of its progress, we can assume the teams/developers are scammers. If it is a serious project, it won't easily stop, the team/developer must try to develop the project whatever the situation. Lately, we have lack of serious/real projects, most of them are scams.

By the time the hype starts and gets high enough you are too late. You join arbitrum because of the people who get airdrop from arbitrum. Those who joined at the beginning long enough to wait for the moment. You have to arrive early for other projects, do research and check every social media. If you don't get anything from the airdrop, then change your strategy. do airdrops that have been recommended, and don't work on projects that have been abandoned and don't have much interest.

Airdrops right now are not the same as before, where you could get it in a week without any requirements or just sign up on their whitelist or just follow simple steps to join their airdrop and after a week you'd receive the token and be listed on exchange. That arbitrum A lot of my friends got that airdrop because they transacted on it, which I haven't done. The airdrop hype again because of arbitrum, but again, that is just a lucky one because most of the airdrop just died or a scam.

But it's not as easy as you describe, even if you register on the white list it will still be selected, and some projects that implement this type of airdrop provide little incentive. The Arbitrum airdrop is different as you explained, it is more about the activity of using the arbitrum network on a regular basis and there are several requirements that must be met to get an airdrop, not just doing one task, but waiting a long time and consistently making transactions. Most airdrops that are not managed properly will indeed die and eventually become scams.

You have to be careful about joining airdrops, especially airdrops that are promoted via YouTube videos because usually airdrops that are promoted via YouTube videos are fake. However, it should be noted that wherever you join the airdrop, avoid airdrops that ask to connect your wallet with their website because it could be that after connecting your wallet with their website, your assets in the wallet will be lost.

Most successful airdrops don't really do their marketing on social media or entertainment platforms such as youtube. As you noticed from the past successful and big airdrops, Those airdrops are organically grown because on how quality the project are. Their community are the one who are really making it grow because of the support their community gives in terms of promoting. As you all know, We once have the first airdrop hype before but scammers utilized that opportunity to scam people. Today, We have the second wave of hype in airdrop projects and the chance of it being utilized by the scammers is anticipated so be careful. Always remember to use an alternative wallet for airdrops. I personally use 2 wallet for airdrops, One for quality airdrop (the one who I really anticipate, The one that has a massive supporters) and another one for chance airdrop (Projects who I don't really need to follow, I'm only taking a chance to collect it and hopes to get something from it).

Many airdrop has scam many people which I was once a victim of Lost everything as my wallet connected particular wallet in the name of claiming airdrop coin. Since then, I'm not longer interested airdrop, that doesn't have a reliable source.

yes, it’s actually not worth connecting your wallet to unverified sites, because your earned money can disappear, and in principle you can hunt for airdrops, now they pay little but you can earn a little, earlier in the past you could make good money, it happened and I managed to get 1000 dollars for participation

now the airdrop has begun to develop my experience with the ARB coin a year ago I joined the ARB airdrop after that I didn't monitor the progress a month ago my friend gave the news that the ARB coin will be listed on binance then I monitored it on social media and it's true and the price of the arb coin is fantastic from the ARB coin I got a lot of profit and now I'm starting to monitor the coin airdrop again.

I still do  ;D and I am not stopping at all hence doing that makes a great a part time activities while at home and I have been hunting airdrop 6 now. I have high and lows about it but all the hardwork pays off of course especially I got decent rewards from it. Now, airdrops are bit hard now but still can manage doing some testnet program and sometimes doing contributions from some project that has high chance of paying early supporters.

what do you say scam, several airdrop channels in my country always provide airdrops that sometimes pay like space id and arb yesterday, I also took part in an airdrop held by bybit and got 45$ for the prize.
and also for SUIs that hold ieo on bybit, but I'm not whitelisted

Currently the airdrop is not as fertile as before.
More scam projects, more participants and of course harder to make money.
I think cryptocurrencies are entering the final stages of major trending. The future won't have any free money worth it.

Current airdrop from SUI for getting waitlist to participants on their presale, right now many people interested to buy exchange wallet has waitlist notification for participating in SUI presale with price 0.03$ and got allocated about 1,500 SUI. Price each account has allowed for pre sale from 500$ until last hour highest price above $1,500. I don't ask every one for joining an airdrop but looks forward what happen with many airdrop still worth and excited right now.

I know with several hunter are tired without receiving payment when joining some airdrop, but is not reason for me stopping hunt airdrop and believing will get highest reward for airdrop one day later.

to be honest, I can't underestimate airdrops, especially now that Layer2 airdrops really really amaze us,
yes, the last airdrop is from Arbitrum, and Arbitrum really makes airdroppers have a lot of income,
I heard that airdropers get more than $ 500 and even more than $1000, this is why I can't leave aridrop anymore.

Airdrop is not a good reason for Making money, so it should avoid best think. How do you think a good project give him free token. Not forever so you can analyze lot of airdrop taken scam. Although some project make airdrops for promoting there token sales even after that they reduce token distribution.

As a crypto trader, I try as much as possible to maximize my portfolio, you may have a bad experience in the youtube videos you watch about airdrop doesn't mean that all of them are all scammers, the most important thing while hunting for airdrop is how credible your Intels is, so that you won't be wasting your time for nothing, though most airdrop campaign are just peanut, that's why you need to do your own research on the value you stand to gain if you engage in it.
I participated in the arb airdrop, an of a truth I wasn't disappointed

I completely agree with your comment. It is important to be cautious when participating in airdrops and to do your research before connecting your wallet to any links or platforms. Many airdrop videos on YouTube are scams and can result in the loss of your tokens.

Instead, it is recommended to reach out to the project team or official telegram group to inquire about any airdrops or giveaways. This can help you verify the legitimacy of the campaign and avoid falling victim to scams.

It is also important to note that airdrops should not be the sole reason for investing in a project. While some projects may offer airdrops as a way to promote their token sales, it is important to analyze the project's fundamentals and potential for long-term growth before investing.

Your opinion is wrong, do you know about APT/ARB token? Recently, they have airdropped a lot of money, worth several billion US dollars.

How do you expect your participated all of airdrops will make payment, mostly airdrops scam so how they will keep their promise. I stopped to participate in airdrops because i think it’s waste of time. It’s better to bounty hunt and will try into testnet airdrops and mobile mining.

Think at airdrops as a way to get free cryptocurrency. While it can be profitable, it can also be risky and some airdrops may turn out to be scams,for me are only a loose of time

I now prefer to look for retroactive airdrops whose results if it succeeds in getting the hype are very satisfying.
For telegram airdrops that only want to get members, I personally haven't done it for a long time.

the thing with airdrops nowaday is that the good quality airdrop can't be exactly hunted, you just do some activities within their newly deployed blockchain maybe swapping some coins, and then you just naturally does some of that activities and suddenly you'll be eligible for some airdrops, you juts don't hunt it filling some form which sometimes just a scam, you just try to take advantage of their platform like l2 and then done.

why shouldn't one? I think airdrops are good since they are giving it for free, even if they suddenly cancel out their airdrops and even if the rewards was close to zero in term of value, i think it's still free and honestly every airdrop coming from good devs and reputable developer at that, alway worth to try, so long it doesn't have complicated requirements.

I think it's crucial to be cautious when it comes to airdrops on YouTube because, as you mentioned, a lot of them are scams. If connecting your wallet to fake links can lead to losing your tokens, which is definitely something we don't want. So, I suggest reaching out to the project team or their official Telegram group to verify if they're running any airdrops or giveaways.

That way, you can be sure about the legitimacy of the campaign and protect your crypto assets. In conclusion, always be careful and verify the source before connecting your wallet to any airdrop.

I recently participated in a few airdrops like Arbitrum, SUI, EDU, Kingslife etc. I don't know if I will get any payment at all. Because I participated in many airdrops before but did not get any payment. Therefore, I have not participated in any airdrop for a long time. Recently, there was a lot of discussion on social media about these airdrops, so I participated.

For me something fun to hunt for Airdrops. I've created one special wallet to do Airdrop hunting. Maybe a lot of airdrops end up being fraudulent or fraudulent but I think it doesn't matter if the airdrop doesn't ask for your personal data. Until now I joined the airdrop rush because I thought it was really fun getting something for free  ;D ;D

So far ARB and SUI have been booming for this year alone along with PEPE.

I have seen some of my friends who have been celebrating their wins in these coins being mentioned. Although most of the airdrops are not guaranteed or having promise for us to earn these coins or tokens, but as the old saying goes, nothing happens in our lives without trying or risking at all whether if it works or not.

I already began with Venom blockchain and almost completing the tasks. It’s just that the Venom bridge has a problem where I am struggling to connect my EVM wallet via Walletconnect to bridge testnet Venom to the other chains.

I am also looking into LayerZero but I don’t know if I am already too late with that. So far no snapshot date being announced yet. I guess I should try them out despite the risks of no guarantees if it’s worth my time and money or a waste.

I think that you can add some like zetachains, venom network and many more. These network are also having very good popularity at this moment. They have reserved many tokens for the community. It's still really worth to see these blockchains as potential retrodrop that will come in the future. SUI was not doing any airdrop. Im very disappointing with the result from sui.

don't trust youtube too much, but the last few days I found them airdrop fans happy with the currently successful SUI, there are also many successful projects on the network. there's also the meme token that's been coming to binance lately PEPE eth also makes them pretty good for airdrop hunters, I'm back to take a little advantage of the airdrop, I guess it's a bit tricky now but they teach us about technology better than airdrops in years past.

airdrops is really beneficial nowadays, take example arbitrum airdrops, even until this day, there are so many airdrops that's giving away money for arbitrum claimer, it's like continuous money raining down to those that have claimed arbitrum airdrops such fortune is really good and they got it without doing anything, so I think airdrop still hugely beneficial.

first and foremost you should separate your main address to the one you are using to hurt for airdrop or use to connect to any wallet, that way the risk will be so minimal, that been said, i think there are still some few airdrops around but you need to do some more research to find them, I know some of my friends have gotten some decent tokens recently from airdrops

Recently an arbitrum airdrop appeared and many people were interested in joining the airdrop, I want to ask you how you feel when you join the sui airdrop, are you feeling disappointed or happy?
Many airdrops are now made to cheat by sending gas to them first or in other ways that make airdrop users interested, so I conclude those who want to join the airdrop should be careful and learn first and don't be careless before the losses come to you.

People are still hunting for airdrops and they some are still getting paid for airdrops. But the issue here is that I don't think there are free airdrops anymore. These days to be qualified for an airdrop, you must have sacrificed something or be holding certain token, I think that's the difference.

True, airdrops now evolved so much that you must do much contribution towards the project like swapping and testing their network before launching their mainnet which can give good indications you will be able to be eligible when time comes. I don't call it airdrop anymore, it's more like testnet program and early contributors.

only wallets that have made transactions on the arbitrum network are eligible to receive ARB, no one expected the ARB airdrop to come so quickly. I think that this kind of fraud is very rare nowadays (sending gas first) because currently most of them use a claim system. i think losing a few $ for sending gas fees is better than losing all assets because linking wallet with scam sites.

I do love to hunt airdrops, but not knowingly. It's evolved compared to the past, where what you need is to sign up, paste your wallet address, and invite users to register under your link to accumulate some tokens. Right now, you're like a beta that needs to contribute to their platform by testing and bridging. I would also like to participate in the recent airdrops, but I need to do some research or watch some videos on YouTube to understand the projects.

currently join with testnet and mainnet hunting. As lot of users trying to participate these events now, there are considerable traffic to this websites, networks and  applications.

I still do airdrops but not all the time.There are still good and profitable airdrops recently made almost 1k with a recent testnet.I agree not all are worth it but some are still very good.

So far, the Airdrop is still worth it for hunting. It's just that each period has a different way to get it according to the ongoing trend. As currently busy with Airdrops through the testnet and Retrodrop.
However, looking for a potential Airdrop requires extra perseverance and effort to get it besides that it is also very rare.

Why not? Airdrop is very good programme for earning free money without investment money and so many people’s earning lots of money from airdrop opportunity i,m still now trying to catch-up good one airdrop.

Yes i do still hunt for airdrops. Who knows that the coin we might get will have a potential in the future. That is true there are a lot of airdrops who uses differnet platforms to scam other people and they should not be trusted. A lot of scammers also in different social media platforms that creates fake airdrop campaigns to trick people into giving away their crypto currency. So better yet before joining we need to verify the legitimacy of the airdrop campaign by contacting the project team or joining their official social media group like telegram or discord. So let us be cautious when connecting crypto currency wallets to unknown sources.

I don't give up for hunting many new airdrop every day, after huge amount receiving from SUI project pre sale and participant first with their airdrop by getting waiting list ticket from capital $45 worth above $2,000. Right now have higher motivate for joining all airdrop project but still research and priority with airdrop without limited participant. Not really interested with airdrop priority with member have many referral because waste our time with that kinds airdrop.

Many project still allocated their coins for airdrop and when launching to the public trough pre sale or public sale will worth later, but need patience when joining airdrop project because not all coins reward have values.

Honestly, I'm not interested in airdrop hunting. However, for those of you who want to hunt for airdrops, it's better to be careful because there are many fraudulent airdrops, especially those that require you to connect a crypto wallet. Not all airdrops via YouTube can be said to be scammers, there are also good airdrops using YouTube by becoming an affiliate.

Atleast airdrop is easy way to get money compared with as bounty hunter you should compeleted all job and you don't get paid any money, they call project scammer. This is world of crypto so we can't trust each project even description of project is legit. Airdrop for this year are promising, my friend got 2000$ from the airdrop and the quest is simple you just click click only on your smartphone to completed all task

yes, I completely agree with you now there is a lot of scam on YouTube and people are led on this and fall for a scam project and naturally get money, it’s better to participate in airdrops in trusted sites or projects so as not to fall for the bait of scammers, but in general now it makes no sense to spend on participation in an airdrop, since they pay pennies for participation, back in 2017, you could get 1000 dollars for a drop

I never trusted Airdrops advertised through YouTube. At the same time, it is difficult to see a real drop, where it makes sense to participate. Now is the time rather of retrodrops. Therefore, it is easier to throw some coins over the bridge, test a swap and put it into a stake. More chances to get something for such actions. Although, here you risk not only your time, but real stablecoins. Therefore, DYOR.

How you can say it "easy way to earn money"? Do you think many airdrops really pay the participants? There are too many airdrops that never paid the participants, while some airdrops paid the participants with no value coins/tokens. According to this fact, I think airdrops can be said "easy job to do", not "easy way to earn money".

What airdrop that your friend can earn $2000?
Don't spread a false issue, earning $2000 from airdrops seems like a miracle only nowadays.

It cannot be denied that participating in airdrops requires a lot of learning, analysis, versatility, and a very high effort. What's more, if you only take part in 1 airdrop, this won't guarantee you get any money.
It cannot be denied that most airdrops are just a waste of time and very worthless. But that doesn't mean all airdops, I'd rather talk to most, mostly. In this case when we take part in airdrops, we have to learn more, analyze, be patient, and have a very high effort. What's more, if you only take part in 1 airdrop, this will not guarantee that we will get money. I once read in an airdrop telegram group, that they can take part in a lot of airdrop programs. It's like if they took part in the tasks of 30 airdrops and only 1 made money. This is familiar to airdrop hunters. But if it's us who are not concerned about airdop hunting, then we will think this is a futile job.

You can get Q Blockchain tokens before they are listed on an exchange on some Twitter pages this month and on Zealy io. Zealy io also have zkSync bounties.

Yes, Good statement that and useful from you,  to be careful about airdrops is because every day this was born and there are many fraudulent campaigns that can result in the loss of tokens or personal information. These scams often use YouTube videos to lure unsuspecting people always verify the legitimacy of airdrop campaigns and avoid falling victim to cryptocurrency related scams to minimize potential risks and protect your personal assets and are identically disproportionate to the value of the prize earned.

well, nowadays people are more focused on doing testnet for rewards like ARB and SUI. it's a pretty decent reward I see. if it includes an airdrop, I think it could be a good goal, it's just that as far as I can tell, testnet also needs capital. Honestly, I'd be interested in trying to do that again, but I'll probably see how it goes in the future. if this includes an airdrop, I'm considering giving it another try after a long time of not trying it.

It's always important to stay vigilant when it comes to airdrops. I prefer using XGo for earning rewards like the 2% BTC crypto earn feature. It's a reliable platform that prioritizes functionality and security.

all new projects will come out, they will issue an airdrop on average to find a community, because the project will be lonely if there is no community, even though most projects are scams.
but there are still projects that pay, so you have to research beforehand if you want to get paid prizes.

You are absolutely correct in your warnings against scam airdrops on YouTube. Some attackers use fake links and masquerade as projects to gain access to your crypto wallet and steal your tokens.
It is recommended that you always check the source of information about airdrops and do not connect your crypto wallet to unknown links. The best way to check the veracity of an airdrop is to contact the project team through an official communication channel such as a Telegram group or email and request confirmation of the campaign.
You can also check the information about the airdrop on the official website of the project. Do not trust airdrop links that appear in comments on YouTube or other social networks unless you can verify their authenticity. Be careful and don't risk your cryptocurrencies.

Actually it's a strategy that too many project are using. Project teams are really utilizing what is currently on the trend by copying it. In an instant, Too many projects had adopted an airdrop to distribute their token just to gather or make a community without spending that much on marketing. It's proven effective but there are possible cons like degraded long term development, Swapping a token distribution method from the original plan can ruin the distribution. Along with a short term boost from the trend, A certain token that had been airdrop can lose it's traction in long term because of a possible slowing down of a trend. It will all depend on the implementation of the project on how they will execute it.

Overall, Airdrop trendy today as well as profitable, Just take care of the possible exploits or scams.   

it's really hard to determine some project airdrop that are truly meaninful unless there's some big funding to the project from the big venture capital.
majority of airdrops are just gonna be outright trashy.

That is the problem of the cryptocurrency industries facing today, because many airdrop has come to become scam, in a result of promoting, while in time's of getting a rewards, by connecting Wallet and get wipes, therefore not advisable to participate unknown source of airdrop.

I have a lot on my list but to be honest, I only did ZkSync because I was hyped after the Arbitrum and Aptos airdrop. I did not even complete all the possible transactions to receive an airdrop. Maybe this is not just my thing. The urge to trade or look for potential play to earn games are more appealing to me. Also, after Sui's announcement that it will not conduct an airdrop, all the remaining determination for me to complete some tasks for coming airdrops was lost as well. Maybe I'll just buy some of these tokens in the future if they drop in price. Arbitrum is on my list of altcoins that I am planning to buy.

Still, airdrop is not that bad for those that have free time to do the tasks. Also, for those that do not want to allocate their money and invest in crypto, airdrops are a good way of acquiring money for free or with minimal amounts used.

thats why only follow airdrop and even retroactive airdrop coming from project that has been gathering funding from many rounds and is invested heavily by some exchange that way you'll be more guaranteed.

well airdrop in general are indeed really boring thing to do, retroactive airdrop is the same too, but that's the thing, the boring keeps majority away from receiving the huge rewards, same case with arbitrum, it was so boring that many didn't want to do the retroactive yet the rewards was humongous.

just avoiding ethereum gas fee by using some second layer you already unconsciously hunting for airdrops, just be sure to use second layer that's new and haven't yet released any token.
i think some airdrops nowadays are quite easy, i just generally avoid some airdrops that require some task like social media sharing and etc like that because usually they turned out to be value less and worth less.

Yes, you are absolutely right about this, paying for gas is not good, because the drop is called because it’s free and paying for the drop is no longer correct, I avoid paying for something that they should distribute for free, it gives me the idea that this drop is not real, but a fraudulent one, that is, a scam drop, you need to participate where rewards are distributed for free that will bring you profit

I don't believe if there are still many people participating in airdrop, because in my opinion airdrop is no longer hype and of course it doesn't give me income, but if you want to participate in airdrop, then I suggest you to making a new wallet, because it will be safer for your main wallet and of course I also use the wallet that I made just to participate in airdrop when I was still participating in airdrop, 2017-2018.

It's important to exercise caution when participating in airdrops or giveaways in the crypto space. While some may be legitimate, many are indeed scams aimed at stealing users' funds. As you mentioned, it's always best to verify the legitimacy of any airdrop or giveaway by reaching out to the project team or official telegram group. We should always be mindful of the potential risks and take appropriate measures to protect our crypto assets

It's true that there are so many airdrop scams but they are still some decent ones though fewer in number, my brother and cousin have gotten few NFT as an airdrop and it's worth some good decent amount of money, It's hard finding good airdrop but they still exist.

I hope your experience of hunting airdrops from unknown sources has become a valuable experience and lesson in the future. and it's true if you want to hunt for airdrops then enter and follow the telegram group that provides airdrops. My advice is to enter the "detectivebounty" group and the "bountyportal" group  because there are several airdrops that are distributed to group members to participate in the airdrop.

it's been a long time since I've never hunted for airdrops because almost everything I follow is a scam. and it makes me tired and bored to hunt for airdrops. just wasted time and I no longer believe in airdrops even though there are airdrops that pay participants. so now I only take part in bounty campaigns where the payment is clearer than having to hunt for airdrops.

You have to monitor the top airdrop group on telegarm to get top airdrop recommendations, the group team will only announce top airdrops and have been verified from the project, so you only need to join one top airdrop compared to many other airdrops, such as arbitrary airdrops that have earned thousands of dollars for participants achieve the eligibility of the required items.

There are indeed many airdrop scams in the market now, especially by clicking on the link to claim the airdrop.
When you want to claim the airdrop, it should be done through a new wallet. Always be aware of potential risks and protect our crypto assets.

Yes still now i,m hunting very good airdrop but at the moments good airdrop finding very difficult because lots of scam airdrop available in markets that's why before joining airdrop need to properly research and than make sure participation.

In my opinion, the golden days of earning big from airdrops are pretty much gone.
Nowadays the airdrops are either an enormous hassle or a likely scam.
It's rare I get to see an airdrop that's worth the time.

it's not only not worth it anymore but indeed airdrops won't be able to provide anything more, because from the start there were only giving in moderation according to what was done but for fun it was obviously very good, unfortunately now there is no one to rely on from airdrops, because just bounties there are a lot of scams nowadays. the airdrop period is no longer there and if there is still an airdrops it is certain that it is only a scam, it is useless to do it only to benefit the maker because there will certainly be no payment.

I agree with you that the time of big and money airdrops has long passed and there is no participation in airdrops today, because they pay a penny, before you could earn good money for participating in airdrops, I once participated in the ebtc drop and received 1000 dollars at that time USA, these were the times, there was a sense and an incentive to participate

Yes, to be honest, we are not too interested in airdrops, one of which is not too hype and the level of income is also very thin, in fact we almost don't believe it anymore, and if you are still following it, you should take steps to anticipate it by using another wallet to follow it, a stern warning if you follow it with your main wallet.

noorman0 I agree with you hunting Airdrop is a waste of time and most at times the profit margins is very small, and most scammers uses through Airdrop to scam and hack people's wallet.

it is highly recommended to use a new wallet or not the main wallet, because it will be risky. especially airdrops that require you to connect to new dApps that you haven't trusted. If you have already connected, you can use the Revoke Method to disconnect several dApps that are suspected of being dangerous. The more Airdrops, the more Airdrop scams too. The hype of Aidrop is also not a guarantee that it will give good enough results.

just only airdrop that are generally retroactive that actually worth it, since retroactive itself in nature favour so much someone that uses L2 it's pretty much naturally already make you do the task once you've trying out their ecoystem that's whats worth trying.

Airdrops nowadays are 99.99% scam and the scammers are just trying to access your wallet. Good old days where airdrops to name a few, have value like $POLY and $DYDX. If you are an active trader using DEXs you can notice some airdrops that has too good to be true diluted marketcap, then that is already a scam. I don't really recommend participate in any airdrops in the current market situation unless it was properly introduced by trusted sources.

Not sure how many people who still join airdrops nowadays, there is no specific research about it. However, if there are airdrops from popular projects/platforms, I assume people are still interested to join. Most people only avoid joining random airdrops since it is no longer worth it. People already learned much from many failed airdrops of new crypto projects.

Sure, always use new wallets for airdrops or bounties.
It is not difficult to create new wallets, we can create new wallets on many platforms. But when you consider to create new wallets, you are better to create private wallets, not CEX wallets.

most airdrops are just a waste of time these days. and i believe a lot already come to that understanding. during the early days, remember the golden days of etherdelta? i think a lot of old timers benefited from early airdrops where you can trade in ED. but with the current situation of projects, very rare that you can find valuable project that is worth in the trading market.
if they start asking some personal details just to join the airdrop, better drop it and move on. they may have hidden agenda of collecting those data.
not anymore chasing these airdrops, better invest your time to other valuable activities with assurance that you can get something out of it.

I follow usually see telegram groups that actually provide accurate information. i did a small stage before going in to check it out. I usually monitor it from The Airdrop Detective telegram group. Maybe the prize is small, but if it's proven to be paid, I don't think there's anything wrong with joining and participating. For others, more in-depth research is needed. ;D ;D.

When i used to participated a lot of airdrops and those were valued but now ost of airdrops is scam, try to trap people for their own benefit as op said. But valid airdrop also available now this day. Good project don't run Bounty but airdrop with very small amount. Even nft project give away their nft Through telegram and discord for free and many nft still value for sell.  But i avoid airdrop personally cause i Don't have patient enough to trust such shits

Now airdrops and bounty don't get much payment. But few years ago airdrops got good amount of payment. But now most of airdrops are scam. But now bounty is very less payment. Most of the bounty scam. So  If it continues then at some point everyone will stop doing bounty for the scam.

What will you do if the official project members are already scammers while you investigate the truth! Well still potential airdrops  available but rarely! Many youtubers who promoting valid airdrops programme, they aren’t scammers but affiliating. Although all of them is not worthy. Even bounty Detective still share airdrops links on their telegram but reward is so limited. Anyone can join but DYOR. It is not advised to connect their wallet or sending fund to have eligible for that airdrop

there are quite many airdrops that might have potential of generating good profits for just some measly task but most of them nowadays require capital like retroactive where you should try out their blockchain which of course require you to pay some gas fee frequently.

Big airdrop will need activity to get transaction history on their platform, so it's ok to spend 100-200 dollars because it's not big capital for high reward, look at arbitrum and SUI airdrop users they get high profit and the coin is listed on the top exchange.

yes, the distributions are very weak now, there are very few airdrops today, and if there is a promising project with an airdrop, then the raft is naturally scanty, this is not the time where you could make money on airdrops very well, I once participated in such an airdrop as EBTC just for a simple registration received 1000 dollars, these were airdrops

now the airdrop also requires some capital, such as participating in the testnet or mainnet,
of course the users who get ARB are users who have already swapped there and that also requires capital,
very different from in 2016-2019 where airdrops are really distributed for free of charge.

Don't hunt for airdrops on YouTube. Most of them are scams. Follow the airdrop of the official project in the telegram group. Even in official projects, sometimes there are also scams.

It is better to be in telegrams channels like Narnia, where you can have information about most scams. But it is better to get into some closed group, where the guys are engaged in projects only on insider. And then sometimes they fall for the deception. In the crypt, as in the real world, unfortunately, so.

it will be quite unfortunate if the rewards didn't show that high of a rewards though, retroactive airdrops it's all about luck.
but right now the hype of arbitrum has caused many to just jump in to these retroactive airdrop, specifically zksync.

Not everyone can afford to buy bitcoin or ethereum at the current price, most newbies enter crypto space by hunting for airdrop, when i start my crypto journey, i was hunting for airdrops until i raise some money to start investing in other coins, I think the advise should be, avoid scam airdrop, this year alone, there are some airdrops that have gave some people some good money. Also when asked to connect your wallet for an airdrop, don't connect with wallet you have some coin inside.

you are right, airdrops are giving high income in recent times but it is very hard to find potential airdrops because they only distribute tokens to eligable participants, we have to be careful using wallet not to connect to dex or new projects.

Reading the white paper first is a good thing before join any airdrop program. However, the white paper that belongs to a project may not necessarily be implemented as written. There are many factors that you should make a point of choosing an airdrop, especially regarding core dev team, security of smart contracts and so on. I know, you will not lose anything if the airdrop from your analysis results if it is not distributed or has no value, but only focusing on the white paper still needs further checking.

That's right, There are countless of project that failed because of now following their whitepaper and having a lot of delays in developing the things on the white paper. This can lower the morale of their investor which usually happens and a straight down trend will happen. I've experienced this on some projects that I've invested and yeah there are projects that can't really recover and some of those are just being abandoned by the team behind. There are really a lot of factors especially today that smart contracts is prominent, Investors/airdrop hunters should at least know how to read a basic smart contract.

Telegram groups are good if they are not created specifically for advertising scams. It is better, of course, to enter closed channels and use the insides. That's where the community really makes money from the drops.

Choosing airdrops that has good whitepaper doesn't guaranteed the airdrop is legit most of them might be plagiarize white paper copied from other projects for them to attract people's attention. The whole concepts are fake, and even those who eventually involved themselves with the airdrop are likely to get scammed because most of them usually ends up request for a transaction fee before airdrop could be released to them. Currently airdrops aren't beneficial anymore.

Yes, I farm airdrops averaging around a 200-300$ a year for 3 years. It’s a great way to get lots of crypto without using your bank account but you need a lot of experience interacting with blockchains and crypto teams in order to get real yield.

I'm not into airdrops... I don't know why ppl are into it
I prefer projects like Neon Link, long term, solid, trustworthy

I don't think it's necessary for the team to still be able to collect a few dollars in cryptocurrency airdrops,
for example last time Hook gave an airdrop every month from $10 to $20 and that's only by holding the NFT that we have minted,
of course there are many more good airdrops you can look for on YouTube , telgeram or twitter.

Maybe you are an investor by that because hunting airdrops are only for people has no money to invest on crypto. Though airdrops now are hard because it is now involve money in order to be eligible for that airdrops. Incentivized airdrops are now called for that which makes a great contributions towards the network of the project like what ARB did for lucky airdroppers.

Like before airdrop now doesn't get proper payment that's why I don't like airdrop now. But when I started crypto I did a lot of airdrop. Then airdrop used to get good amount of payment. Now you can get payment but bitcoin market for that.  Should be good. I don't know if all the projects have anything to do with bitcoin market.

Not only telegram because scammer has everywhere. You can check another social media section which is epically twitter. Anyway advertising is the key to success of token sales fpr a project but we need to find out which is the trusted project.

I would like to agree with you on this point that there was a time when a good amount could be pocketed by air drop. But now the picture is very different as the number of scammers is increasing day by day. And in this case, most of the current projects who bring air drops are frauds. In this case, most of the airdrops have the possibility of your data being stolen or a victim of phishing, except for some exceptional cases. So I think airdropping now is just a waste of time and security loss as well.

Airdrops today may not contain a significant amount of value, with some requiring participants to hold Ethereum or other altcoins or asking for a fee. I am discouraged from participating in airdrop campaigns because of this shit. I agree with both of you, airdrops may no longer offer the same level of opportunity that they once did, but there are still many potential projects and opportunities in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries like the NFT ecosystem, STOs, IDOs, etc.

When exploring new opportunities, thorough research and due diligence are crucial. Consider getting involved in projects or platforms that have a strong reputation and credibility. Stay up to date on market trends, brand reputation, and regulatory developments.

Frankly, I am against airdrop participation at the moment. These were quite famous during the ico period. Totally in the times when crypto money emerged before it evolved that much. But right now, airdrop participation has become a bubble, as projects enter the market with the technology they offer and directly with their own capital. That's why it makes more sense to chase the testnet rather than waste time with the airdrop. This is what's popular right now.

There's nothing wrong with taking part in airdrops as much as possible because not all airdrops can generate income,
if you say that it's a waste of time then I'm also against that,
I have experience participating in many airdrops in 2017-2020 and as a result I was able to buy a smartphone, motorbike , and even built a house.

I agree with you unequivocally, now at the moment the airdrop no longer has, in fact, nothing worthwhile, since it is already in the past, you won’t earn money on IDOPs, but you will only spend a lot of time on meaningless tasks, and you will receive a maximum of 5 dollars, this is if you get them, if the project is good, so as for me it’s better not to waste time on airdrops

don't underestimate the airdrop mate, the airdrop can also change your life like the airdrop changed my life,
I have profit from participating in the airdrop and I've been doing it since 2017 and now I'm really proud of myself,
and I promise I won't stop being an airdrop hunters or bounty hunters.

Yes, I'm still hunting for airdrops because airdrops can make us get money for free,
I'm sure everyone here also wants to get money for free just with Twitter and Telegram, right?
so why should you hesitate to take part in the airdrop? yes even though many airdrops are meaningless,
but don't give up some airdrops can also give a lot of money.

Airdrops is just shit right now. Last a year i participated in many airdrops campaigns but i didn’t get penny because of SCAM. Your mentioned Detective team is so professional, because their mostly conducted bounty project paid out in time also their airdrops because they launched only promising project.

well nowadays also there is fact that so many airdrops or we can call it fake airdrops instead of giving away some coins, is draining our wallet and take our balances, that's just how shitty the condition of airdrops nowadays. i guess if someone got enough money already in their arsenal to maybe invest, just don't follow airdrops.

that's true there has been so many life changing airdrops out there, but we should know that it also requires diligence in finding the airdrops that have the potential though, not just trying out all the airdrops
and expose ourselves to the risk of our money getting stolen instead like what have been elaborated by many, but seeing the history of airdrop it's true that some airdrops give away so much money that it's unreal.
one of them are aptos, and after that followed by recent arbitrum, heck in the past, such coin that gives massive airdrops are also quite more frequent that nowadays.
airdrops, could be really profitable indeed, but nowadays it seemed that the good airdrops are the ones that require you to do something meaningful like testing out their blockchain and then
when their token launched you will get incentivized.

I really enjoy hunting for Airdrops as long as they don't ask me for KYC. I've followed dozens of Airdrops and I think it's fun when you share on social media, then you get paid with their coins. Very easy to do. I don't care if they are scam or not because for me it's so much fun. Just like that  ;D

my advice is if we really want to hunt for airdrop, then it's better for us to create a new wallet (separate from the main wallet), so we are not afraid if the airdrop we participate in is a scam and of course it will also keep our main wallet safe, but I also not really interested to taking part in airdrop for now, because I think the current airdrop doesn't give us money and only wastes our time.

I wonder where do you hunt them nowadays? I mean isnt all the airdrops have gone already? I only find new one in my twitter feed, when people tag others or me, and retweet all those meme coins and other crap. But the number of such tweets is low. I barely see any airdrops.

People, where do you find airdrops? There are almost no airdrops now, and few when we speak about retrodrops. And even they are scam and waste of time. There is nothing to hunt for anymore.

It has to be like that because right now there are lots of airdrop scams where we are sent tokens that cannot be sold and drain all of our assets,
this happened to me and fortunately there were only $5 in my wallet.

if you have two wallets then you will be safe from things like that,
but don't worry there are still many airdrops that have a price so don't be afraid to hunt for airdrops.

Most of the project are not legit and scammer are trying their best to scam airdrop hunter. All airdrops are not fake. if you are familiar with crypto for long time then you will easily know which site is trusted or scam. All big projects give their token airdrop using wallet connect option. Aptos, Arb, Optimism and many other dex do the same work and ask their community to connect wallet for claiming airdrop. we have to check official website and social pages for verification.

he doesn't underestimate airdrops, he just asks us all to be careful choosing airdrops because there are lots of airdrop scams and can steal all of your wallet contents don't mean to belittle airdrop, you can keep playing airdrops at any time, but you can't just rely on income from airdrop.

How exactly did airdrops changed your life? I dont believe that you have earned so much from them that you have decided to quit your job or change earning priorities. If you say that you wont stop hunting for them, then they did not change your life at all, as you still hunt.

some of planned work not safer and trying there to best scam and airdrops hunter and All airdrops are not fake. if you are familiar with crypto for long time then you will easily know which site is trusted or scam. All big projects give their token airdrop using wallet connect option. Aptos, Arb, Optimism and many other dex do the same work and ask their community to connect wallet for claiming airdrop and finaly the good website and social media seen to find 

I dont understand why you have quoted my post with such reply of yours. I am familiar with crypto, I know where to find airdrops and how things works. But lately I barely see any airdrops. And by airdrops I mean real airdrops, not a fake promise to attract attention to scam altcoin. There is a page called airdropalers - that is the only left half dead half alive airdrop site. But it is a pure luck to find something new and promising there now. So I ask guys, who claim that they still hunt and get nice rewards - where do they find those drops?

Chasing airdrops is endless, and it consumes a lot of valuable time and resources. If it's the Cirus token that you think will generate passive income in the long term, I think go ahead, but my advice is to try looking for other alternatives, for example, following the campaign articles available in several campaigns on Bounties (altcoins), choose a good project and already have a market. In addition to extensive knowledge from writing, you can get more prizes from the projects you participate in.

Mainly i got Airdrop campaign from Telegram group, i joined with a several Telegram groups where they posted looks promising projects Airdrops, but i don’t like to participate in the Airdrop campaign, it’s boring and just wasted time because i didn’t get any payment from 90% of the projects. You can check out here @AirdropDetSupport it’s bounty Detective group.

 Airdrops are come with uncounted problem nowadays. I saw lots of post where people claiming they lost the dollar remain in wallet after connected with their(scammer's) websites while airdrops weren’t work this way.
those was golden days, tough to come back again. And right now receiving such reward is kind of impossible, rather it isn’t perfect time anymore for hunt airdrops. But if anyone interest then should be carefully DYOR

I go for a sure airdrop from coingecko reward (https://www.coingecko.com/account/rewards), WHO partnered with some tokens or some shit.

Last time I got ACS from coingecko who netted me like 100-200$ I think. For a bigger Airdrop I believe it will be a participant bounty like arb, an easy airdrop where you just insert your wallet into some google form is over.

I sometimes make drops on the zealy platform, but over the past half a year I have not received anything worthwhile. Of all the projects that have been on the sui so far, no one has paid, all postpone the dates or simply do not pay. In general, a convenient platform, but there is no moderation from them, anyone can run their company there.

Thank you for providing information about the airdrop on Coingecko,
to be honest I didn't think of going to look for it on Coingecko,
because I kept looking for airdrops on Telegram and only got a few dollars, thank you mate.

yes, I agree that there are no worthwhile drops on the crypto market, and the sites that exist today do not justify trust, because they do not pay for the work done, and if they do, they pay very small rewards, I don’t waste time on empty drops today, it’s better spend time on something worthwhile than on useless airdrops on incomprehensible sites

Don't just focus on telegrams, there are still many airdrop sites that you can follow. Twitter is mainly in the headlines and Coinmarketcap has also provided some information on a new project that is likely to have an airdrop. you have to be more active and more tips looking for airdrops. there are many airdrops that can give you profit even if it's only a few dollars. Hopefully there is a jackpot that you get.

I think finding some airdrops in twitter and then proceeds to find out more in regard of the project in discord would be even more better.
but honestly telegram is where these airdrops usually gonna spread their news, because there are many airdrops that was made purposefully being unclear in regards of the qualifications for the sake of keeping it from spammer yet in telegram many are already finding out some clues, like retroactive airdrops that most frequently keep the qualifications from the public so that their blockchain which isn't fully working yet
get spared from the massive traffic that they gonna get, so I guess the platforms all mentioned just equally as good in finding some airdrops.

If using airdrops it is very difficult to trust to participate in these times, so instead of focusing on that to have crypto or altcoins it is better to turn to others. Because this is often what causes you to get hacked or enter a phishing link.

Because it is very difficult and very rare to find legitimate airdrops, the worst part is that with these types of tricks, the rewards are low and assets and accounts can be stolen.

In 2018 I was searching desperately for airdrops and I got a few great airdrops like Agave, was more than 1k a piece and I got 5 of them, but never sold unfortunately. Now it is 30 dollars a piece, so still free money. Also got some ICP airdropped, I sold most of that at 90 dollar, not to bad but could have sold that much higher as well. And had some small ones. Now I don't search for them anymore as I think it is way harder to find the good ones over scams.

There are lot of scam airdrop have been promoting by social media channels like telegram bot, twitter, Facebook, YouTube. I have share some social name because i face many scam airdrop there. I really not believe airdrop event besides i want participate bounty.

The golden age of airdrops is way past behind us. Those easy money days in 2017.

But I am not ruling out just yet because of these big airdrops and retrodrops by being an early adopter of their blockchain.

Take Arbitrum for example. Early adopters are betting on it despite most of the critics saying that there won't be an ARB airdrop.

But they were wrong and got surprised later on when Arbitrum announced a big airdrop to the early adopters who interacted in their blockchain, Dapps etc. Same case with Optimism as well.

Both of them are Layer-2s, so I am betting on other upcoming L2s to have a future airdrop despite not knowing when will it happen.

So yes I am still hunting for alpha airdrops even if it's just "potential", "rumored" or even confirmed.

Right now, the ones I am really looking forward to go big are the Tier 1s like the zkSync, Layer Zero, Polygon zkEVM, Starknet and many others.

Tier 2s and below are okay too, but the chances for having an airdrop are not really that high as the Tier 1s in my opinion.

these zealy platform are just full of worthless bounties honestly, so many tasks so few rewards, you could find so many project enforcing any bounty participants
to keep consistently tweets, retweets and many more, you quite literally gonna be doing such thing hundred times with this platform and the rewards you gonna get are sometime so measly
even worse sometimes there's also no rewards at all I just think that these platform are just massive waste of time, tricking people into doing things for free for the sake of some random projects.
the allocation for rewards was not even informed too, so the devs have the chance of just tossing away participants rewards allocation.

You also need to be consistent to get good airdrops that give big profits. Do some research if you don't want to be fooled by a fraudulent airdrop. Take a look now, there are so many airdrops that can be done, one of the airdrops that provides great benefits is the Tesnet incentive airdrop. But whether you are able to do the job consistently or not, it depends on yourself.

quite fair take honestly, there are indeed many airdrops out there thats scam, their tasks was nothing but attempt of getting free marketing without even spending a dime.
i'd say only follow airdrops from project with reputed devs that even gets supported by big venture capitals.

With so many scam airdrops I don't think it's surprising anymore,
better do some research before joining the airdrop,
it will be sad for sure if it ends up wasting time on an airdrop that is not clear.

Best of them you should avoid airdrop from any function. You can see airdrop now less in btt but they are interesting to social media sector. You may see many pure scam airdrop post in social channels. If you gonna participant a scam airdrop by using your personal wallet key then you can face scam problem at anytime.

Airdrops are no longer trustworthy to me. I still see People promoting & referring airdrops though their YouTube Channel as well as on telegram and twitter. Lots of newbies joining and following those links for earn some money. But the reality is airdrops are now wasting time. Some airdrops have some value but you need more fee to send those on exchangers to exchange for usd

Absolutely right but we can't forget airdrop time before some years ago. Of course you have to enjoy airdrop money by the year 2017-2018 year. Therefore i have participate some airdrop in my twitter but i have no received any token from there. So It's like totally time waste even very rick of my private wallet.

It is best not to participate in airdrop campaigns. Why we promote Scam Project  Have you seen any airdrop campaigns succeed to date? New members are usually added to this type of campaign. AirDrop's fontline rewards its campaign beautifully which leads to new members joining the campaign and promoting it widely. After doing such campaign when they are deprived of the payment of such scam project then they work another air drop project campaign but I don't understand why they work there when they can't collect the payments. Those who are still airdrop hunting, stay away from these scam campaigns. Such campaigns will waste your labor and time but you will get nothing in return.

I gave up on airdrops ever since the altcoin bubble burst , and we moved from ICOs to IEOs...of course IEOs are better but the higher risk ICOs offered lucrative tokens and airdrops were generous too.

Not forgetting the fact that too many people out there know how to mint their own coins means we have too many shitcoins on the market that have given airdrops and altcoins a bad reputation because of selfish devs trying to get rich quick!
But of course we still have good airdrops out there just a matter of knowing good platforms to get them..

I don't think anyone will hunt for airdrops if they understand and analyze the token. Most of the tokens never list on exchanges. We got numerous requests to list some shitcoins back in the old days. There was a time when scammers created some tokens and created a telegram bot and people to participate in their campaigns. 99% of them were fake tokens!

There are so many ways for them to raise funds from their sales, and the last thing I feel is IDO but that also doesn't last long but in the end not all IDOs are smooth including IEO which we often know from some they are just trying to take advantage of the hype situation .

For me the IEO that is still holding up well is on Binance but it is very rare for Binance to relaunch like this.


The ecosystem is now too easy to mint coins with different networks and has lower costs so it would not be surprising if more shitcoins were created just for the sake of enriching a team and they promoted only to get funds from the sale, of course in the end the token These do not develop and die when they enter the exchange after a few months.
I believe there are still some good projects out of which they have more potential airdrops but it's still difficult for us to research where the good airdrops are, but now there are lots of airdrops scattered through the bridge network.

I think it's better to create a new wallet that only used for airdrop, so it's safer and makes our main wallet more secure, then of course we will never be afraid to participate in any airdrop, because the wallet we use to join airdrop is a new wallet and not a wallet for storing assets that we have (main wallet).

there will always be people looking for airdrops, especially after ARB and SUI a while ago. maybe we don't know how many people are looking for it, but I'm still pretty sure that it's a lot. another thing is also because the work is easy, so they are just trying their luck.
Personally, I haven't been looking for airdrops for a long time because almost all the airdrops I've tried to participate in end up being scams, or giving away coins or tokens that can't be sold. many of my friends also think like that. however, after ARB and SUI, they are trying to get some airdrops from popular places. some of them managed to earn a few dollars from the airdrop.

The change in tone from ICOs to IEOs, from naive hope to jaded pessimism, is a familiar one. There's no doubting that the collapse of the altcoin market was a devastating blow to many of us. You are also correct in saying that the airdrop scene has become more complicated because to the influx of new tokens, many of which are of questionable quality. Nonetheless, Im confident that even within this mayhem, chances can be found. Unfortunately, airdrops have gotten a terrible rap thanks to the "get rich quick" crowd. Still, there are legitimate initiatives that employ airdrops to expand their supporter base.

Doing your homework is the most important step. Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, is the benchmark by which all others are measured as we navigate the murky waters of the cryptocurrency market. We need to keep our sights on that lighthouse while we fly through the airdrop world

If you have ever made any money on airdrops, I guess it will be very hard to just give up on it. I used to hunt airdrops back to back few years ago. My whole life depends on it then, I have Tyrion to pay and upkeep. Crypto was my escape root. And airdrops was the best opportunity to see free money. Has its name implies. I was able to sponsor myself through college with the help of money made from airdrops. The way I hunt airdrop has reduced though, but if I see any good airdrop. I will go for it immediately.

Beside these scam airdrops , there are some airdrops which gave me a lot of money, as I can say about the Maverick that was previously launched and give users some profit, and also Arbitrum Airdrop, and recently Optimism gives its users a massive airdrop. So, scammers are everywhere, we should take care along with doing any airdrop.

Although it is an excellent way to reduce the risks, if you also create a new wallet, you need to fill it with some money, and this money that will be paid as a fee can be stolen, so it should be little money that you can afford to lose. Also, I think it is better before you connect any of your wallets to do your research. Yes, it will take some time, but this is the ideal solution to avoid falling victim to scam airdrops. Frankly, I prefer projects with their own network and robust ecosystem because it will likely give the first participants a fantastically profitable airdrop. I made good profits this year from solid airdrops such as Aptos, Space ID, ARB, and Indxcoin, and I see many other opportunities that are still not finished yet. Airdrop hunting is excellent and profitable, but the hunter must have the experience so as not to lose his wallet and waste his time.

There are still some tokens we can hunt for that will have some good use in the market. Since we are nit paying for any of them, it will be wise for us to hunt for some good projects in the market not all projects that are having airdrops. There are some airdrops that are useless and have no value do we need to carry out our own research so that we can earn why we go about our business. It is very important for us to select at random which project will be of good advantage to us and the once that will never give us any profits even though we decide to hold larger quantities.

Sure, not all airdrops are scams. Arbitrum and Optimism are the examples of good airdrops. But you must realize that only a few airdrops can give people good amount of money, while most airdrops just waste people's time and efforts. It is not the wrong way to join airdrops as long as we don't expect too much on the results. We must also be more careful to choose airdrops, don't choose airdrops that order us to deposit some money. We also must avoid to pass KYC on the random airdrops. It is true that scammers are everywhere, we must take more attention on our data and money.

man the only thing I hunt for is the technology
I'm a big web3 fan and for now I'll keep my eye on Neon Link but!
See what happens when you use youTube in a wrong way to promote
If I see project like Neon Link on some dope hyped YouTube channel I'll think twice before researching
Tho I'll research...
Those things were created for good and in the end you see... It leads to money
Hopefully people will see the truth behind it

I think by revoking smart contract authorization towards our wallet already suffice if we really want to avoid getting drained of our wallet but I guess
just changing wallet and have an address specialized for airdrops would be more safer from getting our investment drained by some scammers I guess.
but I think someone should just pick only some airdrops that they deemed to be trustworthy like having partnership with big platform for the sake of having legit airdrops.
time wasted following some shitcoin airdrop just isn't worth it honestly.

these were the best airdrops in recent times and many other projects really wanted to repeat their success but they didn't succeed. Over the past half a year, I can’t remember at least one interesting and profitable drop. So far, one disappointment even in those projects that seemed to generously reward their users.

Yes, ARB and Optimism provide airdrops that make their users happy with what they have tried to carry out the tasks given in each phase, I am also still hunting for airdrops to this day, and indeed there are lots of scam projects, if we are not good at finding potential projects it is very risky.
Moreover, nowadays airdrops need capital to participate in their airdrop events, so you have to be more careful in choosing projects.
BTW, did you take part in the airdrop event offered by the zkSync network developer? lots of people speculated that this event had crazier prizes, because there weren't that many who took part in this event.

Yes we definitely need some capital in terms of gas fees, trading volume, providing liquidity, LP farming, staking, minting NFTs and passports that most of these mainnet platforms are doing that are interacting with LayerZero, zkSync, Polygon zkEVM, Starknet, etc.

I myself have focused on a single wallet but with more activities in different chains. Of course, it's an airdrop wallet and not my main one where I have kept most of my stablecoins and other important assets.

I regretted not knowing about Arbitrum and Optimism earlier (especially Aptos and Blur) which they have made solid profit to the early supporters and users.

Retroactive drops are the thing right now that would potentially be giving us some future rewards.

Right bro, I am agree with you. So many scam airdrops around but if we will research still possible to earn money from airdrops, I am benefited from two big airdrops payment,
First one is Uniswap (worth 1500$ coin),
Second was arbitrum it was also another my big payment from airdrop.

For ARB and Optimism looks can't categories as airdrop project because we have spent our fees transaction active on their platform get qualify for earn both coins. But most profitable for participants earn airdrop from both coins with higher amount actually and right now seems difficult to earn airdrop with the same way like ARB and Optimism coins. Right now have been popular with zkSync network and we need spent much or higher fees each time transaction in this platform. Actually zkSync network still not confirm yet they will launch and have allocation their coins for airdrop participants. For retroactive its not guarantee earn airdrop but have getting risk for spent fees transaction and waiting one or two years later they will announce has airdrop distribution or not.

I believe before participating in any airdrops, it is worth checking the official website of the project and analyzing it.
You also need to pay attention to the proposed product, technology and get to know the team.
Never follow suspicious links or connect your wallet to suspicious websites.

Stayaway from connecting your wallet to multiple garbage Sites people Maybe check the project first research its community and check the backers Most project dont ask to  connect wallet to collect airdrop just like that. If you follow and read these crypto project I think airdrops comes naturally So dont fall victim into clicking useless links

the thing with these big rewards airdrop is that they don't frequently appear.
Its just some very rare occasion where some really good project actually trying to make an airdrop and whether a project is good or not can be definitely judged by its fundamental.
thats the thing with these big airdrops, moreover if back then it was defi that usually gives big airdrop nowadays everything is always smart contract blockchain based that gives meaningful rewards.
other than that not so much.

I think most people do this. Before they join the airdrops, they will analyze the site and the project itself. However, it won't be easy to determine whether it is a good or bad project. The products or MVPs can look good in the early of promotion, but it may end up with poor development in the future. About the team members, it is easy to manipulate their identities. Sometimes, it is a bit difficult to analyze the background of each team member.

Sure, be careful to connect our private wallets. Never do it if it seems not secure enough.

It is true that commonly they only ask for the wallet address, they don't ask for connecting the wallets.
However, if there is a task to connect our private wallets, it is better to create new wallets. Never connect the wallets where we hold our tokens/coins.

Indeed, one of the tricks of scammers is to create an exact copy of the project site. Therefore, you should be very careful about security and always check if the link is official.
I have been scammed several times in the past with phishing links, but now I have learned my lesson.

You should always refrain from airdrops and never participate any airdrops that who want claim your wallet key. Incidents such as these are now incessant and are seen more and more in the social media sector. A few years ago I participated in a project airdrop and they haven't distributed tokens yet. Actually it is uncertain thought that i will make money from airdrop.

I'm still an airdrop hunter, though not as much as I was a few years ago. even though the majority of airdrops end up being scams, that doesn't mean all airdrops are scams, don't give up on airdrops, you have to try hard and hopefully you can find an airdrop that gives you a lot of profit.

keep abreast of the latest news about airdrops from trusted links (like this forum and several airdrop accounts on telegram), don't give up and be pessimistic about airdrops, maybe you will be lucky in the future (when you find a good airdrop that gives big money).

It's not worth wasting time with airdrops they ask for too much personal data in exchange for almost nothing it's better to do something else like bounty, small jobs

I used alternative wallet address (i created to specially for airdrops campaign) if any project will require to connect my wallet in their website,
but first of all i will try to find out their all of social media accounts then i will recheck to detect it real or fake project. 

Air drops nowadays us not like before which is we all know that the Airdrop before are have a high percentage of positive outcome unlike nowadays many airdrop will not trusted enough which means once you are participating in airdrop there are many people will know your secret identity as we all know that some airdrop will ask you r private information which is pretty bad once you drop your Private information

I still do airdrops but not random like before, Do only airdrops from legit big profits which pays participants well at the end of the program and their is no risk of scams or hack.

That is really the problem right now; they are getting your personal information, and others are accessing your wallets, which were also authorized by you without noticing. I just remember before that this kind of stuff is not required, only the wallet address and sometimes an email, and you are now good. After a few weeks, it is listed on the exchange, where all of the airdrop hunters are now going to dump it, but still, it goes up after a few weeks. Right now it is very opposite, and some will say that it is really a waste of time, but there are still others who got lucky to have airdrops, which is very rare.

At the moment I do not participate in any new airdrops. Because AirDrop can take all the information of a user. They take the entire database of the user with the hope of high profit and cause a lot of damage to the user. Moreover, nothing good can be expected from airdrops at present.

Right away even there are very few project have airdrop progress. New crypto users are mostly cheated because their idea is low in the beginning so they get greedy and risk losing money. But in my opinion most scam airdrop campaigns are done through twitter media.

They should know that obvious scam airdrops will ask some money nor even plan to have a token sale with to good to be true offer to their token buyers. If we see something impossible to achieve and the person running behind it is so suspicious we should better back off since even though we didn't spend any amount on their project but still they might collect our data's and used it on some illegal activities.

so true, i will participate in airdrop campaigns in terms of project legitimacy,
still good airdrops exists but difficult (in 100 airdrops 1 can be legit) to find out,

you do not participate if kyc is required, now it's major problem if our personal date will leaked,
you will try to stay away where you also need to connect your wallet, possibility to getting scam.

Judging from the prospect of airdrop lately, it really can't be called a decent airdrop, they just play with scam projects, as for projects that distribute coins but the price is too low and has no value at all, so for free airdrops just rely on running the task and linking the account average scam.
We have to see first what the projects are and what they offer to the community and see how they manage it, that might be better than just taking all the projects that are spread across telegram groups and twitter.

The only airdrop that can be relied on is the retroactive airdrop, although you are asked to spend money in the process to create transaction volume or mint nft in the project ecosystem, some of us are fortunate that Arbitrum and Optimism provide payments to their airdrop participants.


For cases like this, you really need to pay attention and don't take them, just ignore them, it's better to find another project for you to participate in the project, it's very dangerous, we have to be really vigilant against fraud.

There are some Airdrops out there that are truly giving their participants some good opportunity to earn and they are not gonna make some funny excuse when their project become successful due to the help of the people who spread their project on the internet. at the end of the day, they will gonna receive their rewards based on the things they have done to promote that project via airdrop. The only problem here is the multiple numbers of airdrops circulating the internet nowadays and every day there are some new ones added which will make it even harder to find the right one.

I think the airdrop space has transformed a bit, as a beginner I did a lot of airdrops for tokens that were still conducting ICOs. Now my focus has drifted to Testnet airdrops and airdrops on exchanges, for instance Bitget launched an airdrop on the exchange to celebrate the coming of LTC halving, that and maybe aidrops launched to celebrate listings on various CEXs. So these are  the two kinds of airdrop I focus on nowadays

I guess its just because these retroactive airdrops are deemed to be more worth it than some other airdrops thats why nowadays many airdrops also doing the same for the sake of attracting attention from the general masses out there.
the thing with these retroactive airdrops that it does indeed require some length of commitment from us the testers to spend some money just for the sake of testing while we still don't really know whether the airdrops are gonna be truly held or not, basically it's like gambling but the reason many are still eager to follow such airdrops program is solely for the reason that it might have lesser participants.

Bitget and other exchange airdrops are legit but worth very low from 3$-10$. I joined many Bitget airdrops and everytime recieved only 5$. Bitmart airdrops are also good but the same case here, they are giving only 3$ worth of token. I will recommend to use mainnet which has rumours about airdrop, such as Zksync, LayerZero, Starknet and some other but remember these are not free and you have to pay gas fee.

Airdrop never rewards a fixed amount.  And the amount of reward will not be high here because there are thousands of participants in an Airdrop and if everyone is rewarded with a huge amount then the company will go bankrupt for managed only fucking airdrop. so expecting big amount rewards from Airdrop is foolish. If you get $5 from Airdrop then I think it's a big deal because you don't have to work hard just to complete some simple tasks here.

Yes almost airdrop which we found from YouTube  and another social media most of the airdrop is scam. But in telegram some times we found some good airdrop. Some times we get payment from that’s airdrop. Recently i received a payment from airdrop.
My airdrop paymet was $70 but i was very helpful to me. So some times when we were free then we can attend airdrops. It can make big profit anytime.

Actually because of bear run is underway, people don't invest much and thats why less legit projects are launching their coin with less bounty or airdrop. This is very common issue during bear run in market but i hope if bull run come, then People will raise up their investment. Then various project will try to promote themself as well as they'll spent more money for bounty and airdrop to get highlighted. Till then, things will be same as now

I think investors are still investing in new projects not just hoping for a bull market. Because bulls are an uncertain market so smart investors don't always come into it. Moreover now we mostly refrain from airdrops but some new projects are distributing free tokens where the opportunity is available only to the investors of that projects.

Maybe your statement is partly true.  not all airdrops on YouTube are scams.  because sometimes I personally do airdrops via telegram links which require us to join their official YouTube channel to find even more airdrops.

actually the airdrop scenery is quite bountiful in this year, there are many retroactive airdrops having massive airdrops.
some even worth thousand dollars, but many of them involves you using your money to somewhat "invests" to their platform by trying out the blockchain which of course gonna require you to spend some fee and then there's other that would instead have some presale, which usually are giving massive returns, but its difficult things to get whitelisted by them and allowed to participate into their presale, thus the overflowing demand outweight the supply.
of course if its bullish, things will be more bountiful.

Airdrop hunting has become a dreadful exercise for those who are risk averse owing to the fact that projects rarely sends tokens to participants, rather they are asked to connect their wallets Inorder to bore the transaction fees themselves. This has repelled some participants who dreads the possibility of connecting their assets to a website that may leave them vulnerable to attacks.

Ive also seen a lot of airdrops this year that are really good, and those hunters got tons of them. Right now, a lot of airdrop hunters are now hunting airdrops because of it, but again, you'll need to have a capital or money to like pay for transaction fees and use their coin. This is not like before, when you could just join the airdrop without a penny.

Its called with retroactive airdrop where participants need spent much fees transaction bridge, swap with all new dapp exchange for qualifying as participants receiving airdrop coins. Its not only with retroactive airdrop only right now, join DC community of some project on early and push up to higher level will get special offer with many people want to buy our Discord account. Last offer higher price from Discord account joining with SEI project, have been offer around 500$ to 700$ each account as qualify with diamond level in SEI discord project joining.
Still worth by joining or hunting several airdrop project but need more patience because reward and coins available for selling not instant, need time until few months later for selling with higher price. For airdrop participants less patience waiting reward or airdrop as main job is not worth for hunting airdrop campaign because not guarantee payment in short time.

Most of airdrop so far are too risky to join in... Especially if connecting our wallet is involve were most of the time once you connect your wallet account become the gateway for the hacker to steal our account. This has been happened several, times. So if ever you are planning to join you must be careful and triple your research about it so that you won't become a victim by the scammers or hackers.

I agree with you maximum airdrops are now fake there are some youtubers who share fake airdrops to increase their own channel views.  Most airdrops don't bring any profit, about 1 in 200 airdrops may be successful but there is no guarantee.  I have been doing airdrops for almost a year but I didn't get much benefit, just wasted time. I still have many tokens from airdrops which are not yet listed on the exchange.  Airdrops are now attended by many people with very low win rates. Also airdrop is now so risk that it acts like a wallet hack.  So check before participating in airdrops.

This is why it would really be that wise that you should make use of new wallet rather than on connecting your main ones because on the time that you would be joining airdrops then there are lots of

instances on which you would really be needing to mint or connect your wallet on which it is really just imposing the risks on losing up funds on the time that you do make yourself get involved with some scam airdrops on which this is something that inevitable or something that you would really be needing to avoid on. So far im still engaging with some airdrops but im not really that focusing or putting up too much attention to it because we know that rewards could neither be paid on or not or those tokens might have value or not in the end.

The coins that i had made out some good cash is on ARKham which it doesnt really have that much technicality on being that able to join the airdrop.
Somewhat this do involves lots of time or months for you to wait up and doesnt give out guarantees.

Who don't want free money? If you need to spend some time for a project and they give you money though their token, then why not hunting airdrop? Although there are manu reason, People start disliking airdrop. As new airdrops are valueless most of the time and valuable airdrops have hard process to quality user! I means there are many step you need to overcome and then team will eligible you for their airdrops and sometime People get nothing even after doing a lot for that project. But i love to hunt if with all possible step

Scams and hacks are getting more and more difficult to avoid these days. I've become extremely careful and maybe paranoid to a certain degree abt clicking any links online. Only kinds of rewards-related contents I engage in have to meet two requirements. First is that comes from a renowned name in the Web3 industry. And 2nd is that I only get rewards for completing a certain difficult task of some sort because then I can be assured a degree of authenticity. For instance, getting a reward for completing my KYC on Bitget or any reliable CEX like that.

some people favour airdrop because they certainly just want the free money despite the fact that 9 out of 10 it will be complete useless shitcoin that belongs in trash.
the reason being, there has been history of massive airdrops like aptos, arbitrum and so on making people having dream of participating into such project airdrops and not missing out any opportunity to get that airdrops ever again, but we all know such project that could give massive airdrops was rather rare. so I don't think many will be successful in participating.
not to mention the fact that currently nowadays there are too much airdrop participants that it become irrelevant.

Airdrops has became more complicated and we need to do all those stupid things with are social accounts. No real person would fill their social media feed with repeated shares. They are just for fake accounts. I now only participate in signature campaigns as I don't need to share my real name, social media, phone numbers and can enroll with just my Bitcointalk id and telegram. Though the quality and demand for signature ads has been degrading drastically and its getting difficult to find a good one.

I am doing many airdrops before expected in this forum, if I do 100 airdrops then I would get payment for 20-30 airdrops. There are many airdrops that have to pay payment fees, actually they were scams.

Yes, you are right, there is an official Telegram group and you can definitely get paid if you do airdrops. They do not scam. I don't airdrop anymore since I came to this forum.

More and more scammers are starting to work to defraud many people. There are many methods they use, starting from sending emails containing strange links and malware that will infect the target device. The use of malware is now increasingly becoming a dangerous thing, there are many of my friends who have lost their assets in their personal wallets, without any clarity about the method. Now you really have to avoid new platforms or unknown links, so as not to fall prey to scammers. I also always click on the official link and check whether the link is correct or when sending assets to another wallet the address is correct or not. Double checking is very important to do so that it is safer and there are no errors.

Even though Aidrob gives free prizes without any complicated tasks, I personally am not at all interested in Aidrob because there are so many Aidrobs circulating that are scams and fake, I personally tend to choose bounties or campaigns because they have more potential to make money. , even though they have a complicated job, I prefer to work with them,

after several times I participated in airdrops the results were very disappointing, where many aidrobs were scams and the prizes were very small and did not match what was promised, but I personally really understand this because aidrobs are gifts without having to work first, I not interested in hunting for aidrobs anymore , currently I only focus on campaigns that clearly provide weekly payouts,

The era of airdrop has gone. Now what is happening in the market can't be called an airdrop. Airdrops are supposed to be free of charge, but current airdrops require users to spend their money to do transactions, provide liquidity in the liquidity pool, buy NFTs, and many more things. Most of these activities require fees, and all of those new protocols earn a lot of money from them. Some projects, like Arbitrum and Optimum, gave a good amount of money as airdrops, but due to airdrop farming, later projects will not be able to giveaway an amount like them.
