There is nothing will happen without cause or any cost in this world. If they are asking you for 0 Ether and want pay you money in the way of crypto then think a little bit what benefit they will accrue. And, also ask yourself that you own-self give some one money without ant any reason or in return for. They are in return asking your personal data and you don't know how far they will go to get benefit from these.

I am familiar with this method of airdrop and I am a beneficiary of one or two that really did well when they hit  exchange. Hydro and Enumivo readily comes to mind. The only thing required of you is the transaction fees to claim it. It's smart contract based. I made about a $1000  from Hydro. I am not sure I spent up to $2 on the fees I used to claim it

This is a completely new way to get a lot of supporters through air drops.
However, I have always been curious about how this approach can be profitable. Huh

I would be very careful with “zero sum” transactions. There are legitimate situations when you need to send a “zero sum” transfer to receive your token from the Ethereum contract, but would never do it for an airdrops; could be a way to hack your wallet.

Don't do this kind of airdrop!
Because you send 0ETH to the other party's wallet, you also need to pay the transfer fee!
This new way of airdrops makes the project side really achieve near zero cost.
That's not worth, there is a lot of airdrop that has used this method and worth nothing at the end of story. I guess don't waste your money and your time for this scam airdrop shit token.
But people are being so crazy to think this airdrop will worth a lot in the future. The year of airdrop has passed.

If someone asks you to send your money for the airdrop, this is fraud. The very meaning of airdrop is the free distribution of tokens. To receive them you may need to either fill out the form or register in the whitelist.
But do not send any money to anyone, do not give your passwords and specify not your main e-mail, as many projects are fraud. You will receive a lot of useless spam messages. Like "You won something - send us money and get a prize", "only you are offered a closed sale, send money and get a 100% bonus."
Do not believe this ever.

Thanks. The one I joined though does not involve any substantial amount, just send 0 ether, so I guess just few cents to spare for the network cost and once you send it you will then receive the airdrop coins instantly. Mostly it will be around 3K coins something like that. Perhaps it's just some ambitious dudes who wants to initiate a project, they will generate coins using ethereum network create a contract and make an announcement to participate and once they see many participants that's the only time they will start in doing the project. Due to lack of knowledge and planning I bet mostly will fail but I am hoping to see someone finding a bit of success like being able to lunch a product, or create a whitepaper.


I think that 3k coins alone that you mention seems pretty fishy. I've joined many airdrops, not one asked for any ether to be sent, not even 0, and usually airdropping only a number of tokens/coins. 3k seems so high, unless it was accumulated on bounty tasks or referral, or what, but even then, 3k just seems a bit unbelievable. Even if it is legit, the value of the coins won't be much seeing as they distribute that high on an airdrop.

If you're just losing a very small gas fee, and 0 eth is sent for the airdrop, why not?
Just make sure you don't divulge other personal info or priv key. Stay safe in the crypto space!

Has anyone seen a crypto project where the devs distribute airdrops by asking people to send 0 ether? I have been involved in 2 of these types of airdrop but both failed, was dead, plan did not materialize. What would be someone's motivation in doing this kind of project?

Well you want to know the possible reason why you got no pay in airdrops.

No. 1 your chosen project for airdrop failed, the ICO failed thats why you did not recieved any token after the ICO end.

I would also like to say that do not focus on airdrops join some bounties you dont need to invest or pay any amount n the line just need effort to gain more than the 2 airdrop you joined and failed to received any amount.

Ow.. It's a selfdrop I received those already when I do nothing. But their are google forms that you need to sign up and invest if you have extra penny to invest. Receiving Airdrop from bounties are good way to earn coz they had a huge profit from ico stage.

I've heard of such information before, but after checking it is the trick of the scammers. They will secretly steal your cryptos by asking you to transfer 0 ETH to an address to receive a free Token. So be careful when dealing with strangers. If the Airdrop campaign requires ETH to receive  Token, do not join.

I do not understand the airdrop problem but the airdrop that uses the eth 0 system is very much and it's very easy in my opinion. no need to fill out the form.

That's a selfdrop i think there are developers who keep creating their coin and promote it online. Don't ever invest on ICO you don't really know what's the real value or real case of it. Better do you own research.

Hello, yes, many of these met and I came across. Someone is asking to send 0.001 eth but in fact scam only collects money and their coin stays on memory. I do not participate in this.

I participated in an airdrop that promises to match the amount of coins you purchased, they came through. I wouldn't send any ETH to anyone, and not sure how sending 0 ETH would work.

By the way, after reading this post I started to be interested in this question and found out some facts. Firstly, it is really a separate kind of airdrops called «selfdrop» and in fact you don’t pay anything excluding fees (here is something like the classification https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/airdrop-categories-selfdrop-add-assest-airdrops-new-forms-of-airdrop-2998495). And secondly only some of these airdrops would be successful, but it’s enough for this kind of airdrop because you don’t spend much time on it. Also this year some of them were really successful - ENU and TOTO (here is the opinion https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/selfdrop-turns-gold-4442207) and I am sure we will see another examples)
