The old Airdrop projects became successful because there was sincerrity then and the focus was on building something good, but most of the recent airdrops are scam, they have no tech to back up their project, it is just a pump and dump project

We see more and more airdrops but ... Has any of them been a real success story yet? I mean listed on a major exchange, with a real product/service, a major technological innovation?
Yeah there were few that turned out to be a success but that happened way back, right now I have a big feeling that deeponion will turn out big but who knows. I guess you can say that only 2% out of 100% airdrop coins turned out to be successful.

there are none of them and there will be noone, because the real function of the airdrop is to collect the money for free. what i mean is,they're distributing the token,coin but they kept some of it for them which is quite money. let say you will be give it 95% from its total to people, and 5% for the developer, if you compare it 95% and 5%,indeed it's small. but do your own math,how much total coin and how much it will be for the dev ? with just all of his share,he can dump it to the ground.that is why all of them did not run well. it's all about profit and easy money
It's too early to evaluate this. I agree that most of the ERC20 clone airdrops (usually a one time thing) are scams. But there are airdrops that have technical fundamentals in place and run over a long period of time (e.g. DeepOnion, ByteBall). Only time will tell how these projects develop after the distribution is completed. +! for this. There most certainly are great airdrop projects, the past has proven that. But lot's of the eth tokens look like copycat scams.

Airdrop means free money as I google it . Is there any chance that companies that give or have free airdrop is a scam ?

Well said, exactly what I was going to say. Though perhaps not enough time has passed yet to determine whether or not all these recent airdrops will amount to anything. If you had to judge on first impressions I would say things aren't looking good though.

At first it`s about awareness, and that works. You can`t expect a major success within one or two months/years. Btw ETH-Tokens must be called "totally premined" - a year or so ago noone would have touched such "coins".

DeepOnion is a very successful airdrop. Dev team not only ensures it's really hard for the same person to have multiple accounts but also is very active in development and creating new community ideas that pushes the project forward. It's only a 3 month old project and still many things to come.

I think it's not fair to rule out the chances to succeed of a project that airdropped it's tokens just because they gave it all for free. The real difference between a good project and a get-rich-quick scheme stands in its fundamentals, and I believe it's quite easy to spot which ones are trying to make a fortune on people's naivety and which ones are going for the extra mile.

Airdrops are a way for advertising new or existing coins, that alone can not make a success story for the developers .It entails more than that.There are a lot of questions to be answered before an airdrop is tagged successful. The rate the coin it is used or invested in the crpto network will say it all.

Remember that NEM has been an airdrop initially... so there are for sure success stories. Also those who first got Byteball now are rejoycing. And BTX is another one. But you have to wait for years before seeing if it was worth it.

Yes- airdrops may require private keys or some other personal information in order to participate. Of course, the airdrop then carries out malicious acts with the information they have been given. In response to OP- I've been involved in several successful airdrops. However, most in earlier days of crypto. I got 25 CUBE when it launched, which I was able to sell for .005 each some years ago. DeepOnion (which I participate in) is also very lucrative (although it's realistically more of a signature campaign than an airdrop).

Every airdrop has one thing in common they using mass hysteria! This free coin has in start very good distribution and many blinded supports who for free spreads news about. In most cases we forgetting one thing those are premine coins. Second im not sure does anyone checking those wallets for the malwares? This can be so powerful hacking tool, and in this case protections won't help you. Disappointing with those free coins will start soon, reason will be various. This is why i think we will be back to good old coins which are almost forgotten.

If they done have airdrop and some bounty, ico and something like that promotion How to make everyone recognize their project?... Beside a successfull of one Altcoin have many factors. Do you know XRB (Raiblocks)?? They make a airdrop via captcha and they maybe very success :3

I don't think there was a success story by just joining airdrop, this was just free coins and who do you think will be successful with that? I would still prefer the coin coming from hardworking because that would give you success story.
True, Airdrop is a free coin, but i don't think it will not be successful, Airdrop like deep onion, is a successful one i think, although some of the people says that it was a scam, Scam or not its still on the market and someone still using this kind of token.

Airdrops can make you a little money but I haven't seen any of those projects last very long. I would get out as soon as the profits looks tempting to do so. Many of these airdropped projects are dead or require a takeover after the developer sell off all their coins/tokens.
