They could also be able to get you in on the ground floor of a new platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airdropped assets, on the other hand, may be worthless. You might spend time hunting for and claiming airdrop possibilities just to have the price of the airdropped coin drop before you get a chance to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worse, there is the risk of providing money or sensitive information to a fake platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a crypto enthusiast who appreciates staying up to date on new developments and actively maintaining your portfolio on a regular basis, airdrops are more likely to be worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/t8tS8Ilfkoxuakc3kz_p1P1wnagJ9mvWHg9zqaunlUpqV69HQkULcVFJWSXpZnK8lsPSI-bsgMSAZQ-6E65U3dvNfbpmJ0vmSVEbq0tt5kr2LELk0L8PYqHyB_WfoBjzCNZJcnwr\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_main_kinds_of_airdrops\"><\/span>What are the main kinds of airdrops?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto projects may give out free cryptocurrency in a variety of circumstances, but their primary purpose is to motivate consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are the most prevalent forms of airdrops:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Standard airdrop<\/li><li>Bounty airdrop<\/li><li>Exclusive airdrop<\/li><li>Holder airdrop<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_standard_airdrop\"><\/span><strong>What is a standard airdrop?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a marketing technique, a typical cryptocurrency airdrop delivers a certain quantity of native coins or tokens into existing wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is frequently done to market the brand and encourage more people to accept the asset, mainly during the initial coin offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, all you need to do is create an account with the new project and enter your wallet address during the distribution event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_bounty_airdrop\"><\/span><strong>What is a bounty airdrop?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bounty airdrops are similarly a marketing approach, but potential receivers must engage in some promotional activity in order to obtain the digital item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These activities might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sharing a post about the blockchain project on Twitter or other social media platforms<\/li><li>Signing up for the project&#8217;s email newsletter<\/li><li>Joining a discussion forum to discuss and participate in the project<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A bounty airdrop requires a little more effort than a conventional airdrop, although the activities are typically not strenuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_an_exclusive_airdrop\"><\/span><strong>What is an exclusive airdrop?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An exclusive airdrop distributes cryptocurrency to a group of people that follow an airdrop aggregator.

Typically, the crypto project takes a snapshot of crypto holdings on a specific date and then allows people to claim an airdrop based on their ownership at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stellar, for example, is a 2014 cryptocurrency initiative. As a gesture to the Bitcoin network, its executives announced in 2016 a proposal to airdrop $19 billion in lumen (XLM), its native cryptocurrency, to existing bitcoin (BTC) holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the XLM from the Stellar airdrop, you had to authenticate your BTC holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_you_get_crypto_airdrops\"><\/span>How can you get crypto airdrops?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto airdrops can be a terrific method to diversify your crypto portfolio without needing to purchase any assets with fiat cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some methods for locating crypto airdrops are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Searching for crypto airdrop chances on a daily basis on the internet<\/li><li>Following airdrop aggregators and signing up for their special airdrops<\/li><li>Signing up for new platforms in order to take advantage of any basic airdrops they may give<\/li><li>In order to prepare for reward airdrops, we are keeping an eye on upcoming initiatives.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking advantage of an approaching airdrop is primarily a matter of staying on top of developments and seizing chances as they occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/Wvw8OsWc0WuPcNLmIP5hNLLLdW-ydGKUpLVpz0No3wPoNauOz0sTmCznwr3JqiMCG00-iNWgzEm1zK70ID8_nrVRg6fHHWg-oK9zk2RYmKt4SiHO3sVxOExLhbxuBInm46CS6AXi\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_airdrop_scams_work\"><\/span>How do airdrop scams work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to pursue airdrops, you need to protect yourself against airdrop scammers. These may include phoney airdrops or fake key scams, in which criminals attempt to steal your money or private key in exchange for a token airdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Never give away your private key or link your wallet to an untrusted person. In certain circumstances, the fraudsters may even airdrop a bogus token into your wallet, and you won&#8217;t realize it until you can&#8217;t sell or swap it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider researching a project&#8217;s leadership, reviewing its public documents, and assessing the attitudes of other investors before claiming an airdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Theorizing_about_airdrops\"><\/span>Theorizing about airdrops<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Who doesn&#8217;t appreciate free money? &#8220;Airdrops&#8221; are a popular issue in crypto right now, with a handful of recent ones totalling significant sums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Crypto Twitter, one user detailed how <a href=\"https:\/\/stockhead.com.au\/cryptocurrency\/algorand-soars-59-solana-cracks-200-as-l1-platforms-keep-surging-riches-for-dydx-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he made a tidy US$900,000<\/a> in the airdrop for <a href=\"https:\/\/dydx.exchange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DYDX<\/a>, a decentralized platform for leveraged crypto trading. He was able to qualify for ten distinct high-tier airdrops \u2014 one in each wallet \u2014 by engaging in high-volume trade on ten different wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others were able to qualify for the second-highest airdrop tier (based on trading volume) despite having a relatively tiny account. The 6,413 tokens obtained by this user are worth $89,000 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GoodBridging\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The &#8220;Good Bridge&#8221; community token<\/a> was also airdropped <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GoodBridging\/status\/1436470723405570048\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on September 11 to 16,135 individuals<\/a> who have bridged Ethereum tokens to Avalanche. There were 906 tokens per airdrop, and the tokens were sold for $2.65, placing the airdrop&#8217;s worth at $2,400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The token&#8217;s smart contract &#8220;charges&#8221; users a 1% transaction fee, which is subsequently redistributed to holders. Other projects, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BridgeLoot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bridge Loot,<\/a> are delivering NFTs to users who have 900 or more Good Bridge tokens in their wallets in order to &#8220;thank those who did not sell.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is that a Ponzi scheme? Perhaps. However, Avalanche co-founder Kevin Sekniqi has approved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s also the September 2020 Uniswap airdrop, which will be sent to 251,534 previous users of the exchange, including around 12,000 addresses that only submitted unsuccessful transactions. That airdrop is worth US$8,500 for those who kept their tokens at 400 tokens per address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shapeshift.com\/newsroom\/shapeshift-announces-second-airdrop-of-up-to-6-6m-fox-tokens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ShapeShift has increased<\/a> its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/shapeshift-fox-token\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FOX token airdrop<\/a> to accommodate over 33,000 DAO community token holders who were previously disqualified due to their tokens being engaged in staking or liquidity providing operations. At the current exchange rate, that airdrop is worth US$70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another airdrop worth thousands of dollars, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockhead.com.au\/cryptocurrency\/dfinity-crypto-internet-computer-launches-tonight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dfinity&#8217;s Internet Computer<\/a> gave tokens to thousands of early supporters this year who had only signed to its email list in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/857Zj-uC9bSIYUbNttnTTI9rhLOJ0ZsRDSA0Xy978qCW8RrZQLrKIfGfTM2l835_quaBFVKJo3DQ9Hj25LHRQGLlfc2aVqb-9GuwgJluQnKsnTcwnKmR45HmzZIjLxJPTfQEsEYb\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lets_get_a_look_at_the_top_10\"><\/span>Let\u2019s get a look at the top 10<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how does one go about locating the next high-value airdrop? Almost usually, by the time they&#8217;re publicized, a wallet snapshot has already occurred, making it too late to join.

Mounir Benchemled, the founder of Paraswap, recently told the Epicenter podcast that the platform will launch a token soon, but he didn&#8217;t disclose how it would be distributed. &#8220;We don&#8217;t know when this will happen,&#8221; Benchemled stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Zed_Run\"><\/span><strong>4.<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zed.run\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> Zed Run<\/strong><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sydney-based inventors of this NFT horseracing game informed Stockhead in July that they were considering other token types, but nothing had been determined. If they do decide to introduce one, an airdrop to all horse owners (or those who have raced a horse) may be one method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_OpenSea\"><\/span><strong>5. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/opensea.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>OpenSea<\/strong><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The major NFT marketplace, unlike competitors like as SuperRare and Rarible, does not have its own token.
