Solana has an abundance of EXTREMELY high-caliber projects that have NO TOKEN and VERY LOW COMPETITION

Now is the absolute prime time to take on the opportunity.

I’ve compiled the MOST comprehensive Solana Eco Airdrop guide, save it and say thanks later.

Preface:

Skeptical? Hear me out

There’s a good chance Solana becomes THE #AIRDROP chain. The vacuum created by FTX downfall left many teams scrambling for users. The products are ready, now every protocol has to fight for a dwindling community.

Now that grifters are washed out, Solana is primed to flourish:

Predatory VCs & tokenomics gone ✅

Need to rebuild community trust ✅

A lot of strong projects without a token ✅

Let's dive in!
