How Do You Know Real Airdrops From Fake Ones?

[ajiz138]

It would be wrong for someone to consider airdrops as a main job, because it is a side task when you have free time then you can work on the airdrop.

There have been dozens of airdrops that have appeared, is there anyone who can do it all? Of course not, they will also research which ones are good and which ones are bad according to their views, including myself, I am always careful in participating in airdrops.

Getting profit from airdrops is not clear, sometimes the project always delays distribution, sometimes it is not worth it after months of work, sometimes there is no value, so they must be prepared with all the risks that will be accepted later.

I doubt if there's any proven means by which you can identify if the airdrop is real or not, some airdrop that might seem legit may still end up not giving you any reward or profit. Like you already said, airdrop should not be taken that serious like a real job because it doesn't generate any significant result and could even not generate any benefit at all.

Just make it a side, that's what I do when there is an airdrop that I think is good then I will bookmark it first and do the task later after I have a long free time or usually on weekends long time.

To identify it, they usually do research, although it doesn't guarantee anything, but we know that when projects get big funding from some VCs - like Binance Labs or other vendors, people like to be enthusiastic about these airdrops, even though we don't know when the results will be.

That's it, I don't leave important stuffs and start wasting time on airdrop that I am not certain about anything. It's better to do it only when you have enough spare time because you can not be sure if the project will make progress or not. You can research about the project and while it may look legit, it might still end up not being successful.

The hype around the Hamster airdrop, let's see how it goes. Some people have been doing it for months now and if it doesn't pay off, it's going to cause disappointment for some people.

Comes from experience. Once you discover what works and what does not, you'll automatically filter out wrong/not-worthy ones, or at least most of them.

I know this is not the answer you would have expected, but this IMO is best way, learnings from experience stays, and you don't have to make effort to remember these learnings, they are naturally applied, kind of like muscle memory.

The nouse is just too much and knowing what;s worthwhile isn't easy. How do you guys know what's worth hunting?

Like what says by others , it is the transparency that needs to be from their ends to the participants , and also check those who are participating because sometimes there are shillers that the team is payign to make their airdrops looks real.

and besides this is a free participations , if the team is asking for deposits or something that ask for even small amount then best to leave that alone because
for sure they will scam you for all reason .

What I see is that identifying real airdrops from fake ones has become an adventure, especially when we talk about airdrops based on Telegram. There are hundreds of games with huge communities, and over time, the developers' behavior might help us determine whether they are running a legitimate airdrop and project or if it's just a money and time-sweeping scheme.

Projects that offer honest airdrops may be owned by well-known teams and have highly reputable partnerships, but the value of what the participant gets depends on his luck and through the project papers, he may be able to guess what he will get, What I see is that airdrops have largely become fake and aim either to benefit from the participants or to scam them, with only a few being a stroke of luck for some. Therefore, I don’t think they are worth the risk.

But still even if there team is doing good to hype their airdrops it doesn't give any guarantee that we can earn. To many projects undergo in that process and many people grab it then try their chance to earn but turns out fail for them since they are not getting good compensation just like what they expect. Perfect example we can put on this discussion is Hamster Kombat and Catizen, they are supposed to be a good project but so far to many people got disappointed when distribution time happen. So with these case even if we see that project is doing good and lots of people promoting them there's still no guarantee to earn decent returns from them. So with scams and waste of time thing in airdrop scene I guess its up for people if they decide to stop or continue since after all they are the one who can decide if they can still take the risk to join again on other airdrops.

This is something that you should really be looking into on which no matter how good looking the project is or having that kind of potential and some mix of hype then you shouldnt really be that letting yourself that getting fooled and would really be that directly making out some engagement but of course there's no way that we could really be able to tell whether the project would really be legit or not.
Somehow you wont really be having no assurance about success of the project on where you would really be able to earn some tokens/coins from them or ending up some having some value or not.
This is why on the moment that you do engage with airdrops then make it sure that you wont really be spending up some money or having those tons of tasks including KYC and other correlated stuffs on which its never been worth on dealing up with these kind of projects on which you could really be able to tell that it will really be just that a waste of time or simply they are asking too much on which it isnt really that worth
on the money that you could potentially get or rewards. Also, one of the risks is that you might be just that ending up on getting farmed or milked out by the project itself if you wont really be that careful or observant.
Its always important that you should really know on what you are dealing with and what are the steps that should be make out.
