Get ready to get scammed. It's a new project right? no one can vouch is safe or not. It's just gambling, you hoping is pay off & not getting scam. However, most people are really avoiding any kind of deposit airdrop scheme.
Just to risk.
Airdrops can come in two forms. Free or paying airdrop. The fact that an airdrop ask you to pay doesn't make it a scam. It may be a way to select out of millions the serious participants. Although this may be risking because pay for airdrop has no difference with gambling. This is because you may or may not receive reward for the paid airdrop. We also have some free airdrops that pay their participant with good rewards. It's is highly difficult most time to know a legit airdrop. So it is only advice to spend money you can avoid to lose on paid airdrop.
the big project like blast that require staking and right now the TVL is touching 1 billion and more and also other project like eigenlayer and so on I don't think they are scam because they are also endorsed by big company.
its matter about selecting project to be honest, not all airdrops are scams same with not all airdrops are gonna be rewarding experiences.
but i've seen plenty that already gained significant amount of money from airdrop its just matter of luck, discipline to finish task also the ability to find some good project. otherwise you re more likely to waste time if we are just lazing around with all the airdrop only following some random airdrop.
