Hello everyone, have you ever heard of "Airdrop"? What is Airdrop? Airdrop is a form of gift given by the developer to community members who participate in the project created by the developer. Which are given randomly or as a whole.
Does Airdrop have a category? Yes of course there is. From the easiest to the most difficult.
Below are examples and concrete evidence, namely:
Basic Airdrop Category or the easiest.
● Airdrop Bot
The winner is determined randomly.
● Airdrop Gleam/Web
The winner is determined randomly.
● Airdrop Tap Tap
For example the project is #Notcoin $NOT
The winner is based on how often we tap on the application or bot.
Then there is the Medium Airdrop Category, namely:
● Airdrop Galxe $GAL
The image above is an Airdrop Task. By carrying out all the existing commands we will get points which will then be taken by the dev and then converted into tokens and in the end we will be asked to "claim" because we have interacted or contributed.
And a real example of an Airdrop is $OMNI where because of participating in galxe the community gets an allocation or share for the Airdrop.
Furthermore
● Airdrop Testnet
Testnet airdrop is an airdrop that runs during the phase before mainnet where we are directed by the dev or project to try out all the features in the project. Such as swap, bridge, and mint under the testnet network. Above is an example of an image.
A concrete example that provides Airdrop after the testnet phase is Aptos Network.
And next, there is the Hard Category
● Node
Node is where we will be instructed by the developer to become a validator and do everything in an understanding language.
For example, a project that provides Airdrop based on nodes is Celistia.
● Airdrop Retroactive
Retroactive airdrop is an airdrop that is carried out after mainnet. Where we have to interact in the project using our assets and assessments based on transaction volume. The bigger the amount or the more transaction transactions, the bigger the Airdrop you get. Examples of projects are Arbitrum, Manta Network and Polyhedra Network.
But will all projects provide Airdrop prizes fairly or evenly even though they have generated a lot of Tx and Volume? The answer is No.
Is there an example project? There is an example of zksync
This is why Airdrop Retroactive is put in the Hard category because it uses real assets and there is no guarantee of an Airdrop being obtained.
Then there's next...
● Staking
Airdrop Staking is a program where we have to stake our real assets in the project until a specified time.
An example is #Megadrop on binance. By staking $BNB we have the opportunity to get tokens from the project. By increasing the amount staked and the longer it takes to stake. The more project tokens we get.
And what you need to know is that in the world of airdrops there is a guarantee of how quickly the prizes will be sent. May be
1 month
3 months
6 months
12 months
In fact, prizes were not sent at all because the project ultimately failed due to their internal problems.
And there are many questions that are often asked when "doing" an Airdrop. Like:
Can testnet tokens be turned into real money? The answer is NO.
that testnet tokens cannot be cashed. Because its function is only for testnet networks, not mainnet.
Maybe that's enough to give about #Airdrop hopefully it can help those of you who want to get involved in the world of airdrops.
More or less I'm sorry.
