Research notes
Airdrops can reward early users, decentralize ownership, attract testers, bootstrap liquidity, or encourage community education. Each campaign has different goals and rules.
Projects may consider wallet age, transaction history, bridge activity, governance participation, testnet feedback, social quests, or previous ecosystem usage.
Use official claim links, read wallet prompts, avoid unlimited approvals when possible, and check whether a contract interaction matches the action you intended.
FAQ
No. Some campaigns distribute points, badges, NFTs, or eligibility status instead of liquid tokens.
Use a dedicated wallet with limited funds. Keep long-term holdings in a separate wallet that does not interact with experimental apps.
