Airdrop is always an important marketing strategy to gain more users doing transactions of a swap application. YetiSwap from Avalanche did also an Airdrop and got very famous in only 1 day.
I participated in the first round and was added to the list, if my memory serves me right there were about 3000 wallets, at the moment they have the 2nd round of the Public Test.
Do you have any annoncement post? Because it seems core team is more dedicated to build a community, Telegram dev should be fired.
I like such Airdrops for public test net support because it's rewarding user's support and helps to test a platform.
