What are Crypto Airdrops?
Crypto airdrops are a strategic distribution of free tokens by blockchain projects to promote awareness and incentivize user engagement. They can help bootstrap communities and reward early adopters.
How do Airdrops Work?
1. Eligibility: Users meet criteria like holding a specific token or performing tasks.
2. Distribution: Tokens are sent to qualifying wallets.
3. Usage: Recipients can trade, stake, or use the tokens within the project ecosystem.
Types of Airdrops
1. Standard Airdrops: Free distribution to wallet addresses, e.g., OmiseGO to Ethereum holders.
2. Bounty Airdrops: Tokens for tasks like social media promotion, e.g., BitTorrent (BTT).
3. Holder Airdrops: Tokens to holders of a specific cryptocurrency, e.g., Stellar Lumens to Bitcoin holders.
4. Fork Airdrops: Tokens after a blockchain fork, e.g., Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin holders.
