Speaking of airdrops, I honestly hate to say that airdrops are cheap, and a waste of time. That's my main reason why I never join or take part in airdrops because the prizes are small, and most of them require participants to send gas to claim tokens. I hate that kind of airdrop. but I missed the UNI coin. 1000 : 1 airdrops which are the biggest airdrops in crypto history in my opinion.

It makes no sense giving out your individuality for airdrops. KYC for airdrops is a big no for me. What annoys me most about airdrops is that they end up being shitty coins. I prefer not doing it at all, no matter the dollar amount promised

yes, KYC is not good to any airdrop project,
and i will not joined any airdrop campaign that ask for money to pay the gas fee to receive the airdrop reward and for me thats not a real airdrop campaign, because the real airdrop campaign will not ask for money

Airdrops are really important for most projects, because new start-ups always need some free ads. And it`s really easy way to talk about new projects this way, but unfortunately, many people don`t believe in airdrops, because many people went the same way, they completed a lot of airdrops and didn`t receive any tokens. Interest to airdrops is high only among newbies, but experineced people don`t do it and it`s a pity, because new start-ups can`t be supported by crypo-savvy members and often projects die

airdrop is done so that the project can be see by many people and can bring in investors but not all airdrops are of good quality there are even some airdrops that only take advantage of situations to deceive many people keep careful in following or investing if you don't want to suffer a lot of losses

One of the things airdrops do is to kick up trading activities on exchanges when eventually listed to provide volume. Trading volume is one of the things traders look at when buying tokens/coins. There are some projects which don't run ICOs or presale, just airdrops. For projects like that, you can't over emphasize the importance of airdrops. Yes, quite alright we can say that most airdrops this day are worthless and the valuable ones are very few with tiny bits of airdropped tokens given out. Most times, the promised airdrops aren't even given out. The scam projects end up just getting receivers data.

  • Better distribution in many wallets
Firstly, airdrop was important to startup project which are willing to advertise and increase their social media followers for the purpose of exchange listing and others but better distribution in many wallets was never part of the importance of airdrop better still it increase coin/token holders.

Airdrops will get better as long as the altcoin market is rising and new projects appear.
Airdrop will get better if startup project team create an innovative project rather than editing or emulating previous project concepts.


The UNI airdrop was distributed to anyone that used this platform. It is how airdrops should be performed to exclude thousands that would only care to dump at any price and did the minimum to help.
Uni airdrop was just an act of uniswap giving back to their customers and the last time i checked 95% of all the people that benefitted from the airdrop dump their token already but uniswap manage to manipulate the price.

Airdrops is one of the ways in which projects leverage on to promote their ideas to potential investors, so if it is not important I do not think any project team will ever think of it.
The thing is, airdrops always plays a role but nowadays, project teams are changing the nature of airdrops, that is, after getting the right promotion they want, they will refuse to pay and give many excuses. Another is, scammers now see airdrops as a means to make money, that is, on one hand, some will launch an airdrop so as to get attention of people who will support their private sale or presale only for them to be scammed, on the other hand, some will launch an airdrop only to scam their participants through asking for transfer fees and so on. Therefore, considering all these shortcomings, one will tend to wonder the Importance of airdrops, but however, there are projects which launch a bounty program as well as airdrop, which means that, for that to happen, shows airdrop is worth it but participants needs to be careful and selective of the type of airdrops they participate in.

Aridrop is part of the project's marketing strategy to investors, but in recent times aridrop has often caused only a discount on the project. Because aridrop is often released to people with little interest in the project, people often sell as soon as they receive a reward.

  • Social media numbers and followers
  • Better distribution in many wallets
  • Better fanbase
  • Advertisement and brand name recognition

All of these are true airdrop was used in order to gain attention and to attract investors but right now I don't think they are the same as before whenever I find an airdrop all what I can think is a scam or worst project the last time I participated was I think I receive a token that has no value at all.

Airdrops is good for bootstrapping a community, a well structured airdrop is ery good and we have many examples of successful projects that started this way, this issue now is that 90% of the airdrops now are scams or useless tokens just want to create tokens in the name of having one.

I have taken part in many of them and since 2018 there have been some that paid a few tokens that I am still holding and many had failed, didn't pay or never reached an exchange.
With the ending of the ICOs in 2018 almost all startups


I think that airdrops are required to increase the base of holders and supporters for a startup cryptocurrency project.
It helps the new projects in many ways and it is the best marketing for them. Airdrops help a project like this:
  • Social media numbers and followers
  • Better distribution in many wallets
  • Better fanbase
  • Advertisement and brand name recognition

For the last two years, there have been only a couple of airdrops distributed to participants' wallets and there have been a few even asking for KYC something that I'm not willing to do but it is up to how someone values his private data. Energi was a project that paid good airdrop and required KYC.

Airdrops will get better as long as the altcoin market is rising and new projects appear. Although with DeFi what happened left me uninterested as many scam projects instantly appeared in a couple of days.

Startups should have a better selection of how airdrops are distributed, excluding certain behaviors, and having a secondary selection of people that have the potential to help the project and provide additional value.
The UNI airdrop was distributed to anyone that used this platform. It is how airdrops should be performed to exclude thousands that would only care to dump at any price and did the minimum to help.
A quiz, participation in AMA, and getting knowledge of the project is more important. Airdrops should be active and have something more than just follow on social media.

I expect in the new year thousands of new startups to appear in the cryptocurrency space and perhaps a revival of the ICO is possible. We can now better identify the scams and expose or ignore them and follow the startups that are developers trying to create something that could help the world.

Airdrops will be more important soon again.

Lets really hope that this would happen again soon because most Airdrops right now are just getting KYC's then they will come up with a news that would cover up their wrongdoings even though its just clearly getting information out of users. Airdrops were essential to boost the hype on most Alternate Cryptocurrencies in the year 2017-2018 and must be kept that way if they want to properly promote new Cryptocurrencies.

I do want to see startups creating their own icos in the future. However, i dont want them to use airdrop as a form of marketing. Aridrops sucks, honesly. It does not spread the knowledge of a project to the people. Only bounty hunters and ignorant people join the airdrop which harm the project a lot.

In my opinion, if you are serious with project, dont open airdrop. Use real ICO and real marketing methods so as to persuade customers to invest in your project

By themselves, airdrops are good as a way to make yourself known to projects that are not yet well known. They allow you to increase the number of their followers without resorting to high costs while promoting their coin to the masses. But due to a large number of fraud, they are losing their relevance.
maybe now the airdrop has lost the trust of many of its participants and of course that's a natural thing because many people have experienced fraud by many airdrop developers before, the impact now is that even a good airdrop is suspected of being an aidrop which is indicated as fraud and the reality is now These airdrop participants are no longer as many as before. I personally think that now airdrops are no longer a good way for developers to introduce their tokens and it is time for token developers to find the right way to restore the crypto community's trust in the token tokens they develop.

Airdrops good only if the intention is fair distribution among communities but usually a shitty airdrop always demand so much for something so little which worth nearly as much as dust.
If there's no harm on following all these airdrop it's always worth to try and not to mention that airdrop shouldn't go extinct but we just need to kinda filter out all the bad airdrops out there.
If any regulation about stopping airdrop from requiring important private data then that'd be great.

Goood for you cause for me I just wasted also my email address just to be flooded by some malicious emails that would just seemingly just try to phish me and bait me into their site to put my wallet in only to find out that my wallet balance is empty already because I was baited, and good thing I wasn't able to be fully baited to their site as I was already aware what's going on.

Airdrop is important for most projects because it's another way for them to be advertised but it's getting useless for us who join it. There are lots of scam airdrops these days that we're just thinking of it as a waste of time. As for me, airdrops aren't worth joining anymore not unless they would pay us fairly and accordingly. Airdrops that we have these days are too different from the Airdrops that we had before because scammers are now using it to fool people.

Airdrops are pretty useless in 2020 because this form of advertising earned more negative than positive response from the past occuring so people is going to get negative thoughts about their project when they are launching their Airdrop promotion.

And social media and other useless stuffs create only spam about a project so it is not advisable when someone is serious with their project promotion, no more free tokens.

I think, you are right, bro !!
for now, airdrops are a trick that cannot be tolerated. although initially their goal was to try to promote on a broad scale. Some of these projects were good, but failed in ICO.
I finally stopped participating at Airdrop and focused on participating in the autograph campaign. although there are quite a few signature campaigns that carry out scans. but I always try to be careful in choosing and sorting out which campaigns really guarantee .

In the year 2018, I also received many airdrops and earn good money as well from those airdrops after 2018 till date many airdrops came, and more than 90% of airdrops are not listed or just totally worth not more than 1$ so they are useless. Even airdrops help to increase the social community of the project. We can't say it will again important like in early 2018.
