Most people call the airdrop is legit if the airdrop give big reward, but when they only receive less than $2 or no value, they will say the airdrop isn't legit even though the developer already distribute the airdrop.

Normally for those set of persons their reaction is borne out of a high expectations about what they might earn from the airdrop due to the various hypes the project may have received while they were still tapping and mine stage.

Provided an airdrop was made irrespective of how little an amount participants receives then it's legit, except for those projects that made it as a mandatory requisite for participants to pay some amount of Tron or TON but later paid so little that's where many complains arises that you had to pay some TON just to get dust.

I want to say first, airdrop is free. The bull market will start in 2025, and most telegram mini games are currently running. Although few projects are paying off so far. OP As you say many projects are asked to do ton transactions. Yes, it is true that they ask for transaction in almost all free projects, but it is not mandatory. If you feel like it you will, and if you don't want to don't. I think no money should be spent on freebies. If you spend money on it, you get some more rewards.

Few projects that yield?
I think it also depends on how you do it, if you get the first rank then you will have a lot of advantages from the airdrop.

See how Notcoin's success as the first Tap2Earn telegram Mini App made the TON network even more hype.
At first, it was very underestimated, but when it made a big income, many similar games began to emerge that rewarded participants.

Now you may only focus on the Telegram Mini App, but you need to know that the airdrop is quite extensive and not just on the TON network.
There are more airdrops that you can work with, by paying for transactions or even by doing new network tests etc.

Whether an airdrop is legal or not will only be known when everything is done and of course help from the community is needed.
I have a community that provides quite valid information about the airdrop that will be done, so I know what to do.

How do you classify an airdrop is legit?

1. Make you earn $50+
2. Only worth less than $2
3. Received the coins, but has no value.
4. Didn't receive the coins.

Most people call the airdrop is legit if the airdrop give big reward, but when they only receive less than $2 or no value, they will say the airdrop isn't legit even though the developer already distribute the airdrop.

I'd say the not legit airdrop is number 4, while most airdrop are either number 2-3 (technically airdrop is legit).

In recent months, I saw a lot of new airdrops, mostly on Telegram platform. A lot of them are harmless "tap to mine" games which can be trusted (in my personal opinion). Some of them were basically giving away tokens based on your accounts age (like Dogs).
I know when these airdrops are around, they make a hype. One of my friends sent me 15 invite links the other day (and honestly, I still haven't clicked on the links) and most of them are basically these mini games. But I also saw some airdrops asking people to pay them little amounts of TON or Tron, in order to put them in a better place in a leaderboard. It seems somehow suspicious. I just want to know what is the measure of a good airdrop? One of my bitcoiner friends once told me "consider every airdrop a scam until they're not". But I strongly believe that there must be some good measures for this issue as well.
What do you think?

Personally, I couldn’t believe that these airdrop might generate some good returns to players until I tried it by myself and with that experience I found out and learned new things as well. Starting from one airdrop that doesn’t require anything but a fun game to play, and setting up your wallet to receive your rewards, that’s basically with zero risk process, and eventually I have actually received a good amount of their tokens and managed to sell them at a good price.
On Telegram platform personally I never encountered a scam project that took investors funds or stole anything from players. However, that doesn’t mean it is totally safe as well to join any airdrop, if your efforts are not paid out, to me this is a scam and the team stole your efforts to gain other investors attention to invest and steal their funds.
The only measure you can take is to not invest any fund if you are not sure about that airdrop, only your performance on that game might bring profit to you.

You can never be certain, while my method is wrong and you shouldn't do it, I end up just not trusting any of them and either not participate in any of them and just avoid all of it whenever I can, just not deal with airdrop, that way none of them could hurt me and all of them are scams to me. Of course that's not true and we are not going to get this type of result and I think it has to be something that will take a while.

If your method is wrong then why do it? This is funny because we are only good at giving advice to others but we can't even apply that advice to ourselves. I could also be wrong with that and maybe there are still a few who can? You are only being too careful there but I think it is still wrong to call all projects or those who conduct an airdrop a scam because there are still those that are not. Anyways, I see that you admit that you are wrong. Good. That should shorten your sentence Wink

. It is still possible though for someone to get scammed if they will not be very careful on dealing with these airdrops.

Quote from: justdimin on September 19, 2024, 05:48:32 AM

We should look at what we are dealing with right now and we can make a lot of money when we can make some profit as well. So, focus on something that could make us some profit whenever we can. This is why I think airdrops are not easy to find which ones are legit, hence it's easier to just avoid all of them but I know that's not a good way to live in crypto world.

TBH I don't really get what you are trying to say there but I think you are saying that we can earn more with the help of side jobs like airdrops? That's true though but our focus must still be our main jobs first before the rest. Airdrops can be less profitable and very profitable but they are mostly free, and I think that is the reason why we can get scammed easily.

Don't pay anything for the airdrops. If they are asking for payment (even to put you in a better position), then most likely it is a scam. They already make you do task, make you watch videos in youtube, click on links and what not. They are already earning a lot from the thousands of players. And the last move they do to milk as much as they can is to ask for some "extra funds". People that were late to join the game might feel like they're missing out and pay to improve their standing with the hope of receiving more tokens, but they often end up with tokens worth less than what they spent. That's how some developers manipulate unsuspecting users. Remember, airdrops are supposed to be free.

Airdrops should be free but it can come with some tasks which you do not require anyone to pay any money.

This is how scam was in airdrops in the past. Many will become scam. Do not pay.

It's actually easy if you believe and want to get maximum results, then if there is a payment, do it, but if you are satisfied with the results without paying, that's enough ,
because I noticed that the average airdrop ton all made transactions of 0.2 tons if you do a lot of airdrops you need a lot of tons so it's all based on the level of trust and token supply I think

I totally agree with you.
It's also worth noting about the potential collabs and investment institutions and entities flowing their money into it.
If they are credible - it's more likely the project won't be a Ponzi scheme.

Thanks for your comments. You are right money flow into the project is an important factor as it gives confidence to airdrop participants that management of the project has sufficient funds to distribute fair reward to the participants. I personally earned significant amount of airdrop rewards specially in L2 of Ethereum such as Arbitrum and Optimism, as both projects were backed by professional teams and projects were heavily funded bu big investors.

I do agree, I mean a project that got a million dollars investment versus one that has basically none that you can see will have a different result in the end. We saw so many people do this very well and we shouldn't really worry about this at all and could make some good result and we can't really be dealing with something bigger.

I think the best thing about bigger investment projects is that we are going to see this being basically an indicator for people and we could make some good return with it based on how much investment there is to a project. Retail or VC it doesn't matter and we could see so much money going into some projects and those are the ones that usually does well, and I am sure that if a project gets a few million dollars investment, it's hard not to do decently.

There's a lot of chaos in the crypto ecosystem right now, such as the hype about games on Telegram that offer tokens to their users for playing their games, some are legit, and some are scams. So how do I make sure an airdrop is legit?

1. The Community
Look at how the community is, when it becomes a big community and is supported by various big influencers too, then we have got the first point.

2. The Team
Actually the team is not that important an issue, but if they have a team that is not anonymous, then we have already got the second point.

3. How Genuine They Are
For the hype in crypto, all the copycats will not get any luck, they will only get the leftovers of the original product, so to make sure that the airdrop will be legit, you can pay attention to this one thing.

The three points I mentioned above don't apply to all airdrops in the crypto ecosystem, I'm only referring to the chaos of games on Telegram that are currently everywhere.

He's right because airdrops now are so abused that we never know which one is good, so your friend is actually giving you a good approach on how to deal with these proliferating Telegram airdrops so you will not waste your effort and you will not put high expectations on these new trending airdrops.

Where the money is and what's trending in the community,, that's where the scammers will come to hatch their bad deeds so if you're going to be active on airdrops be sure you are good at tracing good and bad airdrops.

If they are not transparent and they are not building something for their project that will benefit the community, then have second thought before joining these airdrops.

In terms of cryptocurrency, airdrop is meant to me the distribution of free token to individual after performing just some simple task but these time around, project developers are beginning to add different rules to airdrop and these rules require that airdrop participants must pay certain amount of money (in a different coin) to qualify for the airdrop. If the money they are adding is fair, no body will complain but some of them are putting a very huge amount that participants need to pay and they are putting and unfair amount.

I told myself that I will not participate in any airdrop to would expect me to spend more than $1. Take for example the Catizen airdrop that some people spend hundreds of dollars to farm but the reward was unfairly distributed and some people that didn't even spend any money on the game, go more reward than those that invested on the game.

Airdrop is legit when its totally free and it will landed on you're wallet without any gas fee, example is DOGS token it is landed on telegram wallet automatically and there is no fee's, if there is an airdrop and you need to pay for transaction fee then that is not an airdrop it is a big scam because there is a gas involved, so be careful on choosing airdrop not all of them are legit and cam give profit some of them are scam that we can possibly loss if we don't take good care of our actions.

If you really want to make money from airdrops then you can't really consider which one is legit and which one isn't. First of all find airdrops that do not charge you any money, these days there are ones that ask for money and the moment you see that get away as far away as you can. Aside from that, if it's free then you should be doing whatever you can do to make money from it and try to do it. It doesn't matter if you apply to one or a hundred, as long as you can make some money from it then try it.
-snip-

But also need to know, it is necessary to consider how safe the airdrop is because now many airdrops are traps that can harm connected devices or wallets.

I also have no problem working on all the airdrops, but at least it's safe and doesn't cause any problems later.
Now there is no need to bother to analyze each airdrop or new project, because there is a special airdrop channel that is indeed specifically to discuss airdrops and I know a lot about the airdrops from these channels.

I have my own community on my local channel, and it's trusted with hundreds of thousands of members and admins who continue to actively provide the latest airdrops.

Now what is being hyped is the Telegram Mini App and many airdrops from the TON network, many of which have also been successful and listed on Tier 1 Exchanges.

Payment from Airdrop is not guaranteed. And a lot of time has to be spent here. So if someone has such time then he can earn from Airdrop. By airdrop legit I look at those airdrop projects that bring a new concept and don't copy the structure or strategy of a previously running airdrop. And I've seen most of those projects do good. So you can use my strategy if you want but I won't guarantee you payment for them. Payment will depend on your luck and your own strategy and time spent

We know that the payment might not be guaranteed but I will still suggest that you do all the once you can so that when people are making money you don't miss out from it and that is one of the most interesting even if you don't make money from a particular one you will know that you have tried you best in playing all the airdrop games, missing out, because this period I have see that majority of this project are that are running this airdrop are always listening so the chances of it failing is very hard because they will try to get the publicity that they want and you will even see people that are ready to buy the coin when it is eventually released to the public after the presale and some people are even ever ready to buy and even bitcoin have a target already if how they want to engineer a way either by holding selling and then trading depends on how everyone wants it to be.

New trends keep happening in crypto and it is actually something that you will be able to invest in, they will make it more interesting, that even aside the money you will get the fun to is their and their is prosperity when it comes to crypto is now for you to do what is best, and we keep learning new things everyday, the energy will determine the momentum and the result to.

What do you think?

Your friend is right; consider any airdrop scam until they prove you wrong. Don't pay any money to get ranked among the top people to be eligible for Airdrop because it is supposed to be free, unless if you wish to do so if you like the project after your research and you find it worthy of investing in the project.
The recent trend of Airdrop is on telegram; the telegram mini games are now the latest trend of airdrop which some of the projects have paid their participants some amount of money; this trend is going viral because I don't think any form of airdrop apart from telegram based games will get attention; but it is also coming to an end because the number of scam related project been lunched is becoming alarming.

In my eyes, airdrop is free and the task is easy. If there is something that is not right, I just ignore it, especially since we have to spend money to complete tasks such as having to make a number of transactions on the network and many other tasks. now they are smart we are assigned to watch a YouTube video until it is finished and in the video there are keywords that must be included in order to claim the prize, they are looking for profit in various ways, be careful we have to be more careful in choosing a project

For the aspect of making transactions on the network for you to be eligible for airdrop, those patterns were for a new layer network where they were looking for earlier users to reward them with their tokens, but you see that pattern that has been adopted and introduced by all this Telegram mini app airdroppers is just a means to extort the participants when we can't even be very sure that the launch will be successful.

If it is indeed a tool for extortion, what makes me wonder is that this mini airdrop application on Telegram produces surprising coins, such as being able to immediately list on various large and well-known exchanges quickly. but I am sure that not all of them will experience a successful launch, there must be evil parties who exploit this trend

Even if 99% of them are fake then one of them could be legit and give you some money. I do not find the work and effort worth it so I do not personally do it, but that is my decision however if you want to do it then you could do it whenever you want to and apply to all of them.

If you have the opportunity to participate in airdrops, then I don’t think their is anything bad in it, but we should know that not all airdrops are going to pay, some might end up being a scam, and some might not really pay good amount of money. That’s why when participating in airdrops, the best thing to do when participating in airdrop is dont have high expectation on any project, because you might end up being disappointed at the end.

Some of them do request that you make some transactions which you will be charged little amount of Ton for the transaction, but it’s a choice, if you don’t wish, then you can just decide to participate perform their normal tasks without putting any money.
