Well, you can sell but you should hold the part of it. For optimism, there was second airdrop for delegators, if you sold all your airdrop, you wouldn't have made it, meanwhile if you held part of it (let's say 25%), delegated it you would have made it. For rest 75% you could as you please...

Yes, that's right. But my thought was that for those who sold coins immediately on listing on the stock exchange, they had a good opportunity to buy coins at a reduced price later. If we look at the Optimism chart, we will see that the value of the coin 2 weeks after the airdrop cost 3 times less. This means that you could buy 3 times more coins than you sold.

...One thing these airdrops taught me is never sell all airdrop, keep some and stake if lp/governance is available. There were few which rewarded for holding/staking UNI token, and optimism's second airdrop was also for delegating op tokens. This is pretty much passive way of earning and you didn't use anything from your own pocket.

This does not apply to all coins. For example, both Arbitrum and Optimism were profitable to sell immediately after the airdrop was distributed, and as the graph shows, those who did so had a good opportunity to buy these coins after the price dropped. But the coins from Uniswap and Celestia needed to be held tightly in order to multiply profit.

If it's good project, it'll last long and later you can dump anyway, like $OP right now is $3.7.

I'm lucky enough to be eligible in Arbitrum's airdrop as it was totally unexpected for me. I didn't even think about a lot about airdrops until I got in one. ..

I received my first major airdrop from Optimism a year and a half ago, but it was a meaningful choice, since I was active on 4 wallets at the same time. All that was received before Optimism was several tens of dollars and were not retro airdrops.

Let me continue the chain, I received first from Uniswap, sold it at $4 instead of holding it. I don't actively farm airdrops either (except few lately), but received several others including arbitrum, optimism — they were all received for natural activity.

Let me start.

Eigenlayer — Ethereum restaking protocol. They have points system that tracks your contribution, this points could be used in future similar to Jito where points were used for proportional airdrop.

You can read about Eigenlayer's points system here.

A measure of your total EigenLayer restaking contribution. Based on amount of ETH staked over time, in units of ETH per second.

Been on Restake Finance, Inception, GenesisLRT, and Kelp. I think these projects have high potential to make some airdrop, there hasn't been that much competition in them tbh and glad that I came in early. Hope by next year this is worth a lot of taking and will likely share it here if it's indeed successful. I think 1 ETH per project would give you exceptional returns.

I mistakenly thought that the airdrop from Arbitrium was the largest in recent years, but it turned out that 3 more airdrops were larger than it. Of course, compared to the rest, Uniswap's airdrop of more than $6 billion looks unattainable today.

Yeah saw that... I'm lucky enough to be eligible in Arbitrum's airdrop as it was totally unexpected for me. I didn't even think about a lot about airdrops until I got in one. Cheesy

Now I'm like checking out some protocols and find out if it's worth it in trying to be eligible. I think most of them aren't really worth it. I'm kinda waiting for Layer Zero and if I'm not eligible then I move on and focus on Monad. I think their testnet will be online around Jan or Feb next year.

There's also a couple of AI projects that could be worthwhile for airdrops. Gensyn and Ritual. You need a rig to participate tho. They need people to supply them with computing power for their AI and ML testnets.

2) Redbellynetwork: https://RBNT.zealy.io

For dev tasks they are rewarding special nfts, I'm sure they will be used in airdrop criteria. If you can, do not fade on this.

For mere smart contract deployment task I used this guide [1], it'll probable rejected tho, as they wanted smart contract to be usable, I'm not even sure what I did, but I have took my shot.

...Incentivized testnet, should take 10-20 minutes to complete tasks...

Over the past 2 years, I have completed about 100 projects in the test network, but the profit received, which was paid by only a few projects, is much less than what was received from Optimism alone. It is possible that after launching on the main network, this participation will be an additional bonus when distributing airdrop, but for myself I decided that I would no longer perform tasks on the test network, since this is just a waste of time.

That's true, testnets usually don't reward much, but I gave it a try anyway since it was pretty straightforward and didn't take much time, also market has been bullish lately, even shitcoins can be worth good.

And if you're looking into some projects that are still in development, start looking into Monad. It could be a good one imho.

I'm not sure what exactly are we to do with nomad, what do you suggest?

For now as there's no testnet yet, I guess just get into the project's discord and vibe with the community. I think it's best to get the nads role as I think you should have that role to get into testnet which also gets you eligibility to their airdrop. I'm not sure tho. Just from the looks of it, that could be it as I noticed not everybody could get the nads role.

I hope go get it soon if I get lucky enough. And if ever I get eligibility in their airdrop, I'm gonna be a Monad maxi for the rest of 2024 and 2025. Grin

I think it's gonna be a huge project that could surprise everybody. I hope... Lol. If not it's gonna be like my Tezos bet again from back in the day. Cheesy

Edit: Any news from LZ?

For me, these are also biased especially for some devs or teams behind retroactive airdrops, because they are the ones who will know it first, they are the ones for sure will take action first to qualify in airdrop for sure, and there will be still a lot of manipulations.

Could be true for individual team members but otherwise projects usually allocate team supply from distribution.

IMO, retrospective airdrop has been successful only because there is only positive in creating and distributing tokens. It brings hype, and projects get lot of treasury, and community get free money. It's win-win situation for parties involved.

Couple more potential ones:

1) DOP testnet: https://doptest.dop.org/

Incentivized testnet, should take 10-20 minutes to complete tasks.

2) Redbellynetwork: https://RBNT.zealy.io

Zealy quests are useless most of times but this Twitter response [1] from RBNT team made me do it.

Potential $PHI airdrop.

Philand —> Philand protocol. That pretty much confirms $PHI token.

https://twitter.com/phi_xyz/status/1738546450513240105

What you can do?

Go to https://philand.xyz —> open app —> check eligibility —> claim whatever nfts you are eligible for.

If you have old wallet, you don't need to do anything, you should be automatically eligible for plenty free stuff.

Philand is on Polygon, you will require matic for gas fee.

There are also quests you can complete daily: https://quest.philand.xyz

items you receive can be traded on opensea already.

I'd not suggest fading on this, I sense airdrop coming.

You have seen the recent manta network airdrop announcement. There is a lot of hype going around it and within a few days the protocol TVL grew to almost 80M and is still growing. This is a good way to start as it will immediately eliminate all the airdrop farmers and only the real users will benefit from the airdrop. Nothing is free so if you don't need to do any tasks for an airdrop then at least bridge some funds over the network to grow its ecosystem. This airdrop can be really big for some of us.

I've never won anything from an airdrop, I have no idea how to know which ones can give coins.

Can anyone give a tip on where to search? Is there any place that reports on this?

The golden years are over. A couple of years ago you had pretty huge airdrops that gave a lot of people a nice extra (i.e. bitcoincash) but nowadays it is hard to find real good ones. Don't get me wrong, if you google around, you will find hundreds of airdrops but none of them are really worth anything. The requirements to join one are real easy though.

Ah c'mon, that's quite ignorant statement. Bitcoin cash was long ago, there have been plenty significant airdrops since then and you didn't require holding btc to earn them.

If there is already requirement published, that airdrop won't be worth good. You've been hunting for airdrops at wrong place.

I got in on EigenLayer via Ether.Fi and Swell network. I know that Ether.fi isn't an LST protocol but after asking EigenLayer Mods on Discord who confirmed that staking on Ether.fi also unlocks access to EigenLayer since Ether.Fi stakes directly via an EigenPod using a mechanism called native restaking. Swell as well but couldn't stake enough ETH to garner 30 PEARLs.

A few have done well this year — Arbitrum, Sui Celestia and Jito to name a few did well. Honorable mentions to Jito and Celestia for the top performers this year.

Speaking of this topic, I'm not sure if everyone is following the Cardano ecosystem, but I understand the issue making it less FOMO at the moment when other ecosystems are getting major attention, But it is also possible that it will receive a lot of attention during the future price increase period. Basically, this ecosystem has too many shortcomings, but their great potential is something that I think should not be missed.

I know about https://www.cardanocube.io/ , where we can follow what's being developed, if you know of something better then you can suggest it, and also look forward to receiving more information about other projects outside of the ecosystem this attitude.

Mmmmm... I know I should be more open minded and shouldn't try to fade anything during a time when the altcoin market is in preparation mode for a full on bull market, but Cardano seems like it's dead to the community of DeFi users. Dunno... It's just the people I know don't really talk about it or view it at high regard. I think the newer chains have more chances of success than Cardano. And among then older chains I think Fantom is way too undervalued.

And if you're looking into some projects that are still in development, start looking into Monad. It could be a good one imho.

Very good faith because it is each person's opinion and research on how they strategically place their approach to the chains. As you said, Cardano doesn't have as strong a performance as other chains, but that's not an issue that makes me ignore them. As stated before, I expect more of its long term growth, although the disappointment may repeat in the future, it was a decision

.

Thanks for the suggestion to Monad, actually I heard about it but didn't pay much attention. Could you share more information you know about this project's airdrop plan?
