You can already check the airdrop from Ether Fi -
https://claim.ether.fi/ Claim will be available on the Ethereum network, so everyone will make a decision for themselves about its expediency, given the high gas and cost of ETH. Let me remind you, the listing on Binance and other CEX will be 2024-03-18 12:00 (UTC)
Heard what HRM Justin Sun did with etherfi and managed to crab the highest piece of the pie.
Thought Justin was already a rich dude with his tron project! Why hustling with retailers on airdrop!
Imagine his portion alone worth $20m or close to depending on price. I feel really bad for small farmers who have been farming for months only for Justin to come with his giga bags to scoop 80% of allocation within 3 days of farming.
Hopefully the team will reconsider and reward small investors based on their latest post. Congrats to all eligible participants.
You know all the distribution gets skewed towards the people who have the means if guys like Justin Sun start farming airdrops. Lolol. Airdrops are really meant to distribute the tokens to the community to help get some support for the project. But it seems like professional airdrop boiler rooms with 100 accounts and whales like Justin Sun are destroying the effectiveness of airdrops.
People who put huge amounts of funds are technically the ones who are most at risk if something bad happens to the project. Imagine if things went haywire with EtherFi, example being funds were drained from EtherFi smart contract then things wouldn't be as bed of roses for Justin.
But I do agree with you, projects who plan to distribute tokens should use more measures than mere TVL, for example one added measure could be — how long the particular address has locked funds into the project.
The next meta might involve airdropping tokens towards NFT communities because ownership of NFT's are hard to sybil. So be on the look out on collections that have exculsive channels in different Discord servers.
I mean you can buy/farm NFTs through multiple addresses, it may involved extra money and effort but if you wanna farm, it can be done.
BTW, Ethereum gas fees are low right now (24 GWEI, ATM), if you haven't claimed $AEVO airdrop yet, it's right time to claim now, I claimed with $5 which was otherwise $30 the day $AEVO airdrop arrived).
