Topic: Any airdrop hunters here need some leads (Read 2183 times)

And the important, if not the most important thing...  Just do it if you like it because if not then you'll just be wasting time and money paid in fees.  Most of these things will pay peanuts most of the time and you'll just be burining yourself out.

I say this because none of us could afford to be burnt out at 2025 as we'll be seeing the biggest up moves in crypto in a while since 2021.  So save your ammo and your energy.  It's time to be picky about which airdrops we should start committing out time into.

Taking airdrops to be some sort of job then its never been ideal but making it to be some sort of side hustle or extra income then you can make it possible but of course just like we do all know that there's no assurance that you will really be able to make money in the end of the line on which if we do consider out on how many shit projects that we do have on this market then we can really be able to tell that success rate will be less but somehow its not impossible to make some considerable amounts. One of the main reasons on why people are really that interested into this aspect on which they are really that making up some possible big money out of free or simply rather just that putting up some effort on doing tasks for them to be eligible for the drop on which this is really he advantage, but come to think that time and effort isnt something that you cannot be able to ignore because we do know that time is valuable and you should really be that wise on dealing up with something on which you do know that this will give out at least that kind of progress and gains with money that you could simply benefit out. Well, each person does have their own perspectives on things and if it turned out that they've been that too positive about airdrops and go full time, as long they are really that sustaining then so be it but in overall it is really just that too risky to rely yourself on this one.

It's expected that we are not going to get what we are owed, and thinking about how much these hunters spend per year, like in hours, and how much they make, even if they it big on a single or two of them, the return per hour rate is so low that it would be smarter to be a cleaner at some fast food shop, I can guarantee you that there is nobody who is unqualified enough that this much money is enough. You can do the least paying jobs of any nation, and it would still pay better than these airdrops without a doubt. I can see that it is not that clear and it is not that profitable but it's true.

Spending 500+ hours a year, and getting maybe 1000 dollars is a good ratio that you would dream about, most of them spend more time per year and make even less. This is why staying away from airdrops is great, not because it won't pay, but because it would pay very little. I have seen people spend 200-300 and even more hours on just Hamster Kombat, and make 20 dollars in return.

^  Depends on the airdrop...  There are those ones that you don't mind doing because you really want to do it.  I felt that way with Arbitrum.  I enjoyed using the different DeFi stuff they had on their like Dopex, Umami, GMX and participated in Plutus DAO and a couple others.  I didn't even know about airdrops until I got my first one from Arbitrum.  It was 5000 ARB which was quite decent.

The next airdrop that didn't really feel like a grind was Hyperliquid as I like to trade and Hyperliquid exchange is just so good of a product to use.  It's not as clunky as most exchanges i've used.

It's usually the case with the drops, unfortunately.
It's nice to be rewarded, but then you consider the time you spent and if the reward is not that big.. You either mourn it or smile and keep pushing.

Here's an airdrop lead...  For you guys who are active in CT and who have a decent number of followers, it's prolly good to collect some yaps and join the leaderboard at Kaito.

The thing is to have some 'smart followers' and that could be enough to get you some yaps which could translate into an airdrop.  But as usual, dunno...  But you don't lose anything by signing up and joining the leaderboard.

So yeah...  Stay safe out there guys.

From my observation: I have been participating in airdrops for a long time; in 2022-2023 I was very focused on retrodrops, on 2024 I did only few, but during last 3 years, I have earned about only $300 with them. More profitable was spending time playing Pixels game during its beta, pre-launch or whatever it is called. The time I have spent on airdrop, I would better spend analyzing which old altcoin I should buy for holding, or do scalping. 

Currently, drops are in disgrace a bit, in my opinion - not lots of options that would lead to somewhere good, and the options are not scarce to the point that there is nothing to choose from, it's just that the focus currently is on different things.
So it's wise to have a backup plan in such a case.

Actually, we can do airdrop while we are investing in crypto. Sure, it is not a wise decision to focus on airdrop only, many of them just waste our time. I've the same view, current airdrops are no longer the same as the previous airdrops. If we could get some jakpots or huge money from airdrops in the past, it never happened again nowadays. So, airdrop is no longer very profitable job in crypto, investing or trading look more convincing for the future. You're right we can use small money, it is not a must to use thousands of dollars.

I will advice you go into crypto investment instead of chasing after airdrop you can start with a little capital, because for me chasing after airdrops is just like a waste of time to me. Airdrop nowadays is no longer the airdrop we use to know before, just imagine the years you spent in doing those airdrops had it been you spent those years in crypto investment I'm pretty sure you would've make a lot of profit. I know sometimes you can also experience lose in the market but it can never be compared with the profit you will make within this years, Let's say for instance you invested in bitcoin and you where patient enough to hold on to it till this time just imagine how much profit you would've made now that bitcoin has skyrocket. However like I said earlier my only advice for you is that you should try and raise some capital to start up crypto investment, I can't recommend you to any airdrop reason been that I don't pick interest in doing those airdrop projects.

Sounds like a drop for sure.
Some drops require you to pour something in it beforehand, some - don't.
I just didn't ever try to look at it due to its reputation.

That's airdrop. You do have bitcoin, then you get bitcoin cash for free caused by you have bitcoin. That's what we called that as airdrop. Calling it as a free money has not different meaning than airdrop.

The point is that doesn't really matter what people sentenced it as a hardfork, free money or etc. It's airdropped to the all of bitcoin holders for free.

You don't need to mine it, or even spent pennies to claim it.

Bitcoin cash technically might not have been an airdrop, but when it got created, you got on a lot of exchanges (like Kraken) a 1 to 1 ratio of the amount you had in BTC. If you were holding a nice amount of bitcoin, this was just free money as the price also shot up quite high of BCH.

It is sad that when there's a need to use some cash on it, they shouldn't be called airdrops anymore. But they can be par with liquidity providing and as well as other task from these projects that requires money. The airdrop that we know are for free and all you have to do is to do some quite effort on it and wait until the listing and distribution happens. So, it's not that at all anymore as you've said, after HK, Catizen, dogs, notcoin and all of the other successful TAP projects, they're no longer the same today. Still, I am seeing some wonderful airdrops that do happen like the most recent, the penguin airdrop.

Supra airdrop is indeed interesting and gets a large allocation, it's just that we can only withdraw 10% of the total we have, and the rest is staked for 1 year and three months, and what annoys me is that it was opened during the bearish cycle, precisely in Q1 2025, I got $ 1k here.

Some new airdrops like $ Pengu + $ Vana are being discussed because they have given a fairly large airdrop to their community, did you get it? in the airdrop it is not certain, so make it a special sideline.

Even myself cant remember if BCH did have an airdrop because wayback before on which bounty are the ones which do make out some popularity and ICO times where it is really that golden opportunity for you to hit up with good projects on which if we tend to compare into now then it is really that totally different. Although, years had passed on which bounty hunting is still that relevant or really that still happening even up to this moment but the rate of success had come down drastically over the ages or years passing by due into that saturation on which basing up on the number of coins/tokens that we do have in the market today and the numbers are keeping on increasing and thats why investing will be that too hard and more riskier in compared into those past time. Trying out to have some leads? This isnt something possible because finding out hidden gems or project does have potential on increasing up its price on 100-1000x manner is very that challenging to find up and also you will be needing up that diamond hands if you do really want on having these kind of gains on which only a few will really be able to achieve or experience on. This is why bounty hunters will really be keeping on making engagement until they will really be able to hit up the right project and made out some free money out of zero investment and really just that only their time and effort.

I also have this mentality but mine is subtle since it's not based on experience. I have shallow exposure to airdrops and have participated in a few from when Hamster Kombat was launched. Though, i was able to get some profits during my participation in Catizen and since then, it has remained the same. What do you think is more profitable than the airdrops and will require same energy, more or less in the industry?  I've seen people who cash out huge amounts of money using same airdrops.

Just found out bitcoin cash has an airdrop? Isn't that the hardfork coin of bitcoin? Or a coin that mimics bitcoin?

The forum does not provide information about airdrops only a few people share it, if you want to find airdrop sources you can join some special airdrop channels or on twitter which is so much information about airdrops.

To find a promising airdrop is difficult, you must be able to analyze yourself and assess how the project is.

That is not bad at all for a free airdrop. I don't really know good sources right now to find promising airdrops (sometimes this forum has good suggestions) but in the past there were a couple of nice airdrops that paid quite high (including uniswap and years ago bitcoin cash) and the requirements were quite easy (especially for bitcoin cash).

That's what I did too, the return is just not worth it and I believe we should not really consider this to be a big deal at all, because it is not really that much of a big deal, it doesn't work that well on the long run. I get that it may feel like a much better deal for some people, but for the time being it's actually as good as it gets and we cant consider this as profitable, because it requires way too much work and pays very little in return.

Lots of people are making a mistake by trusting their time for this, and because of that we can't really do anything that profits us based on how much time we spend. If you chase airdrops and on average make more than five dollars an hour for our work, I would say it worths it, but unless you hit some thousands and thousands from some project, you won't be making that much money at all. Hence, the best thing about this is that we need to consider how things could be very different and could be not profitable at all.
