In my view, Celestia represents an obvious choice in 2024, especially for effortless airdrop farming. The process is straightforward: stake your assets and let them be. The year 2024 has already witnessed several airdrops, including:
- Altlayer
- Dymension
- Namada
- Saga
A significant number of projects are being developed on the Celestia platform, and many plan to distribute their initial tokens to $TIA stakers.
Some of the anticipated projects include:
- Milkyway (Celestia's Jito)
- Movement
- Doki
- Manta Network
- Eclipse
- Monad
I'm of the opinion that these examples are just a small fraction of what's to come, with a multitude of additional airdrops expected in 2024.
Steps to become eligible for future airdrops:
1. Firstly, acquire a Keplr wallet.
2. Transfer some $TIA from a centralized exchange (cex), like Binance!
3. Stake your $TIA in the Keplr wallet and choose a validator, keeping in mind to:
- Opt for validators with low commission rates.
- Select validators ranked beyond the top 10-20.
- Avoid validators affiliated with exchanges.
This is one method to qualify. Alternatively, you can directly engage with dapps like Milkyway, where you can stake your $TIA as well.
Regarding the amount of $TIA to stake:
The general principle is the more, the better. An ideal amount might be around 50 $TIA to qualify for about 95% of airdrops. However, 10 $TIA is also a psychologically satisfying amount. Even with smaller stakes, you're still eligible for airdrops. For instance, staking just 1 $TIA earned 205 Dymension tokens.
