Airdrop Solana strategy that will change your life once and for all🎯

@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 complete guide 🧵 👇

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.

Predatory VCs & tokenomics gone ✅

Need to rebuild community trust ✅

A lot of strong projects without a token ✅
