I gave u $SOL at $0.55
I gave you $MATIC at $0.004
I gave you $STEPN before it did x10
I gave you $ARB before the airdrop

Now I give you an Airdrop-mega-thread: How to earn up to $100,000+ in #crypto with close to no effort 👇🏽

I have seen hundreds of threads on airdrops pop up on my timeline lately and I thought why not compile all info and the best threads into one serving as the ultimate Airdrop resource on Crypto Twitter.

Let's get into it!

3/104 What are airdrops?

Airdrops are FREE tokens distributed by projects to incentivize and reward early supporters/users.

4/104 What is the point of airdrops?

-Attracting users

1) Pre announcement based on rumor like $ARB where people started bridging over and using the chain after airdrop rumors

2) Post announcement: $UNI TVL massively increased after airdrop announcment

5/104

- Distributing the tokens to the community. As a project you want to try and distribute the tokens to the right people. Airdrops can be a good way strengthen and widen a community. When you give people a token they feel like they have ownership in the project.

6/104

- Avoiding legal issues: By doing an airdrop a project can potentially get around being considered a security by the SEC.

This is a good tip you can keep in mind. Projects based in the US often do airdrops because they have this incentive.

7/104 How much can you make from airdrops?

Below are the estimated ATH values for $INV #1INCH $UNI $DC $DYDX $APT $OP $RARE $ENS $SOS $APE $GTC $FORTH $HOP $GRT

8/104 As you can see you can earn quite a lot from airdrops. In fact if you portfolio is under $10,000 I would recommend you to only focus on farming airdrops.

These values are values PER wallet. Farming airdrops means using multiple wallets to get airdropped multiple times

9/105 Regardless if you have a portfolio over $10,000 or under $10,000 you should study all of my free guides

10/104 How to become eligible for an airdrop?

Each airdrop has unique criteria, but if we look at past airdrops we can see some common requirements

1) Wallet activity. Consistent use of blockchains and protocols. Wallet is often required to have history and assets over x$

Activity on multiple chains can also be a criteria.

Consistent long-term on-chain/protocol activity is a proof that you are a real user

Staying consistently active sets you apart from the crowd, this is especially important before the airdrop gets too popular.

Good infographic and thread by @MingoAirdrop -

- Community participation. Twitter spaces, discord chat rooms etc. Being active and participating in the community.

I know of several protocols such as @element_fi where users got airdropped for simply saying "gm" and posting memes in Discord/Telegram chatrooms.

- Beta-testing/test-net usage.

Many of the infrastructure projects and protocols are on test-nets before they launch their official token. You are often required to do do transactions/set up wallets/claim and transact test tokens and do quests to get airdropped

- Participating in governance

Creating governance proposals, leaving comments on participating in governance votes can often secure you an airdrop. This counts for all DeFi protocols as participating in AAVE governance can make your wallet eligible for another airdrop

- Doing trades & providing liquidity (LPing)

It's getting harder and harder to get airdropped by performing trades/LPing. This is because there are a lot more people farming. Consistency is important and size matters.

$100,000 in trading volume is better than $500

- Creating a project/sub project/tools on top of a protocol/infrastructure that does not have a token yet.

Deploying smart contracts such as NFT collections on new infrastructure projects is an underrated way to get airdrops that will only get more popular with time IMO

- Minting NFTs

On Aptos you could have been airdropped $APT for mining some free NFTs.

- Donating grants on websites such as $GTC

One of the requirements for $OP airdrop was to donate grants to projects on Gitcoin. I think this can be an increasingly popular requirement used by projects to separate real web3 users from farmers

- Run a testnet node/validator

I know people that got airdropped $150,000+ for running a $GRT node/validator before there was a token.

While testnet airdrops are becoming more and more rare as they are easy to farm (sybil attack)

- Hold certain amount of different tokens/NFTs over a period of time. This also applies for domain names.

Holding a certain amount of tokens/NFTs can get you airdrops. Countless examples of this from NFTs such as Bored Apes.

- Be better than the majority of users. Example: If 70% of all activity on a chain are transactions under 0.1 ETH once per month, make sure do larger transactions once per week

Good thread by @Auri_0x

Before we get started on how to find airdrops I just want to warn you there is a lot of scams out there. Here are some security measures you need to take to protect yourself!

- Get your updates from legitimate sources only such as Twitter, Discord and Telegram channels

and even if you get the information from legitimate sources still be careful. Multiple times have discords/twitter accounts been hacked and phishing links have been published.

- Double check the URL before connecting to any website and make sure you're using the official links.

- Never expose your main wallet or seed phrase. Projects disqualify brand new wallets from getting airdropped.

Get used to using multiple wallets, and build a transaction history across multiple chains.

- Use burner wallets and different burner wallets for different airdrops.

So now that you know what airdrops are and the common requirements let's jump into how we can find airdrops.

- Follow the right people. I don't do shoutouts often but here is a list of people I noticed post about airdrops consistently.

Just keep in mind I can't vouch for every single one of these, some might turn to be full of shit and or scammers. Always DYOR

Track projects that recently closed funding rounds. Tracking projects that recently closed funding rounds is a powerful tool as you can see who is backing the project. Example you see a game has recently raised from Binance labs and Coinbase and is based in the US. Likely airdrop

Resources you can use to track recently closed funding rounds:

crunchbase.com/discover/princ… - (to track Tier 1 VCs)
defillama.com/raises
@ICO_Analytics
@ICODrops
@lookonchain

Track wallets that have received multiple airdrops before (only works on EVM chain based infrastructure with same addresses)

Use debank.com and @DuneAnalytics

Good starting point:

Track protocols that do not have a token yet. My favorite tool to do this is: defillama.com

Filter by TVL/new.

Track new projects good accounts follow on Twitter.

I have my own scanner, follow @MacnBTC because might make it public in the future.

There is some open tools that already do this. Example by @Dynamo_Patrick -

When you find a new project/protocol go to Twitter and search "project name" + "airdrop"

- There is a chance someone has a strategy you didn't think of
- You will potentially find good accounts and learn from them
- You can find people/communities to network with

Alright before we get into tutorials and strategies for different upcoming airdrops I just want you to study my thread on how to trade the majority of the Airdrops

Basically the playbook is very often similar.

- If you are an airdrop farmer you want to claim and sell as quickly as possible as the opening price is often the highest

This is often possible by interacting with contracts. Ex by @0xTindorr -

- If you are a trader you want to use tools like Dune analytics dashboards to track the airdrop claim progress. Bottoms have often formed around when 60-80% of the airdropped tokens have been claimed.

Tokenomics and liquidity also determine if something is a good buy or not
