Airdrops speculations thread

[libert19]

Since airdrops have gone retroactive, all is speculation which ones will do airdrop and which ones won't.

This is thread to post your airdrop speculations.

Let me start.

Eigenlayer  — Ethereum restaking protocol. They have points system that tracks your contribution, this points could be used in future similar to Jito where points were used for proportional airdrop.

You can read about Eigenlayer's points system here.
 

A measure of your total EigenLayer restaking contribution. Based on amount of ETH staked over time, in units of ETH per second.

The issue I have with these points systems is that it is just an act of making rich guys become richer, the main points of airdrops before is to build ecosystems but with the points system f you don't have real money to stake, it won't worth participating, just look at the Ace airdrop recently, the team was quiet about it and small guys made real money from it. I know all these is to curb those farming airdrops but the points system to me won't last

I haven't realy looked into Eigenlayer and I assumed it's just another L2 that's not gonna get much TVL as the space is so saturated with these new L1 and L2 projects.  Lol.  But after seeing TIA's pump, I can't help but think that we should be more open minded in all the easy money floating around. 

Another project that could be huge and that could have a successful airdrop is Monad.  I've been looking more closely into it and from what I've seen, their devs seem pretty good and seem to know what they're doing.  I think it's going to be my yolo trade for the next full on bull market.

its always like that, the dapps or the new blockchain needs money to flow in to them, therefore requiring participant to shell out some money temporarily. its like the recent blast staking program and also many more like manta, they require staking from the participants to get coin and there are some guys that willing to stake 150k ethereum just for the sake of participating and of course if the calculation is that the total allocated coin is rewarded proportionately to the point earned then easily the guy with that amount of ethereum will become the biggest holder of the coin. but thats just how it is for the devs to attract those stakers and get huge amount of TVL and as it seemed, so many project are following that path, requiring staking some amount of ethereum to get points, maybe they consider such method of token distribution a lot more beneficial than just letting people interact with their smart contract.
hopefully though the project that initially was proposed to be distributing their token through retroactive like interacting with smart contract like layerzero and the others still stay true to their initial plan.

If i will be only staking small amounts of money and it's not worth to participate. I remind you that there was a retroactive airdrop between swell and eigen layer. When you were bridging ethereum to the swellnetwork and you will get pearl points that can be exchanged to the swell network token in the future. Swell ETH can be staked into the eigen layer as the hard cap has not yet fulfilled. You can get two tokens through doing it. The only problem if these days airdrop needs a lot of money caused by the team was building the TVL as well.

The NFT holders are still the one who made lots of money from ac. Look at how much price bi mech when it was being introduced in the binance market. I think that if money is everything right now. You can't even working on the retro airrop without having some money.
There was no free airdrop these days. That day has gone. Everything needs money and this is the conseqence when mostly of project used the pyramid scheme. The more money you stake and the more points you get.

Yea, I ain't fan of points system either. Regarding, rich becoming richer, I feel it's law of the world.

I haven't realy looked into Eigenlayer and I assumed it's just another L2 that's not gonna get much TVL as the space is so saturated with these new L1 and L2 projects. 

It's built upon Ethereum, and has tvl of 823M currently according to defillama, it was 250M before opening windows again few days ago. Also, when you stake it requires hefty gas to pay since it's on ethereum, so it excludes most users.

You are right, you can still do it, you get 30 pearls per 1 eth staked on pearl afaik, and then stake sweth to eigenlayer.

Speaking of this topic, I'm not sure if everyone is following the Cardano ecosystem, but I understand the issue making it less FOMO at the moment when other ecosystems are getting major attention, But it is also possible that it will receive a lot of attention during the future price increase period. Basically, this ecosystem has too many shortcomings, but their great potential is something that I think should not be missed.

I know about https://www.cardanocube.io/ , where we can follow what's being developed, if you know of something better then you can suggest it, and also look forward to receiving more information about other projects outside of the ecosystem this attitude.

Rich guys getting more richer is not new but I know it sucks, that even in the airdrop scene they are still here. You already said the importance of these points system in airdrops. So I'm sorry to say this, but they might stay. We only don't know if how long though. Let's only hope that they still have something in store for the poor users.

I think it is still possible to eliminate the abusers, in a way that they won't affect the poor users. I'd just like to say to the OP that this is a nice idea, since many threads I see lately are about the airdrops, so why not have something like this or a sticky thread where all airdrop talks will be compiled, right? I'm not sure if there is already a discussion board dedicated for airdrops only, but having one would also be great.

Staking atom, inj, tia, osmo (and also lp on osmosis in popular pool such as atom/osmo) — I'd say $100 in each minimum but more the better, should make you eligible for most cosmos ecosystem airdrops.

Nfa, I just put my stuff here according to my experience.

[criptoevangelista]

I've never won anything from an airdrop, I have no idea how to know which ones can give coins.

Can anyone give a tip on where to search? Is there any place that reports on this?

Mmmmm...  I know I should be more open minded and shouldn't try to fade anything during a time when the altcoin market is in preparation mode for a full on bull market, but Cardano seems like it's dead to the community of DeFi users.  Dunno...  It's just the people I know don't really talk about it or view it at high regard.  I think the newer chains have more chances of success than Cardano.  And among then older chains I think Fantom is way too undervalued.

And if you're looking into some projects that are still in development, start looking into Monad.  It could be a good one imho.

I'm not sure what exactly are we to do with nomad, what do you suggest?

Very good faith because it is each person's opinion and research on how they strategically place their approach to the chains. As you said, Cardano doesn't have as strong a performance as other chains, but that's not an issue that makes me ignore them. As stated before, I expect more of its long term growth, although the disappointment may repeat in the future, it was a decision .

Thanks for the suggestion to Monad, actually I heard about it but didn't pay much attention. Could you share more information you know about this project's airdrop plan?

The golden years are over. A couple of years ago you had pretty huge airdrops that gave a lot of people a nice extra (i.e. bitcoincash) but nowadays it is hard to find real good ones. Don't get me wrong, if you google around, you will find hundreds of airdrops but none of them are really worth anything. The requirements to join one are real easy though.

I got in on EigenLayer via Ether.Fi and Swell network. I know that Ether.fi isn't an LST protocol but after asking EigenLayer Mods on Discord who confirmed that staking on Ether.fi also unlocks access to EigenLayer since Ether.Fi stakes directly via an EigenPod using a mechanism called native restaking. Swell as well but couldn't stake enough ETH to garner 30 PEARLs.

A few have done well this year — Arbitrum, Sui Celestia and Jito to name a few  did well. Honorable mentions to Jito and Celestia for the top performers this year.

Ah c'mon, that's quite ignorant statement. Bitcoin cash was long ago, there have been plenty significant airdrops since then and you didn't require holding btc to earn them.

The requirements to join one are real easy though.

If there is already requirement published, that airdrop won't be worth good. You've been hunting for airdrops at wrong place.

[Sophokles]

You have seen the recent manta network airdrop announcement. There is a lot of hype going around it and within a few days the protocol TVL grew to almost 80M and is still growing. This is a good way to start as it will immediately eliminate all the airdrop farmers and only the real users will benefit from the airdrop. Nothing is free so if you don't need to do any tasks for an airdrop then at least bridge some funds over the network to grow its ecosystem. This airdrop can be really big for some of us.

Potential $PHI airdrop.

Philand —> Philand protocol. That pretty much confirms $PHI token.

https://twitter.com/phi_xyz/status/1738546450513240105

What you can do?

Go to https://philand.xyz —> open app —> check eligibility —> claim whatever nfts you are eligible for.

If you have old wallet, you don't need to do anything, you should be automatically eligible for plenty free stuff.

Philand is on Polygon, you will require matic for gas fee.

There are also quests you can complete daily: https://quest.philand.xyz

items you receive can be traded on opensea already.

I'd not suggest fading on this, I sense airdrop coming.

[GreatArkansas]

For me, these are also biased especially for some devs or teams behind retroactive airdrops, because they are the ones who will know it first, they are the ones for sure will take action first to qualify in airdrop for sure, and there will be still a lot of manipulations.
