- Not only a waste of time but also a waste of money even those the amount of fee in bridging those coins/tokens are just a waste
- Totally saturated and some tasks are hard to be done
- Disappointment indeed
- People would be jumping out on airdrop again once some projects did give out huge amount of money on airdrops. Remember Arkham?
- Once hype kicks in then expect for saturation or been flooded out by lots of hunters.
- Influencers would really be always loving on hyping on everything
- No assurance about your spending on minting
This is one of the reasons on why i do leave airdrop now.If you do have the funds and could risks out and have the time
then why not? As long you do find yourself that understanding out the risks.

=Zealy/taskon/Galx are 100% waste of time. I have collected Many Galxe oats but all in vain.
=Already announced airdrop are something profitable like blur and round 2 airdrops of some big projects.
= Minting NFT for airdrop is totally waste of time if this is only criteria but if doing all task like transaction, liquidity then I think minting nft could increase chances of more tokens
This all data is according to my previous experience.
QUAI is supposed to be giving rewards out for retweeting their content on X. Q Blockchain had several zealy campaigns that they paid out. They gave free tokens to discord community members before and will probably do it again soon. They are releasing a faucet where you can collect .1 Q per day. They have a bridge incentive where if you bridge from Ethereum you get 5 Q plus a bridging bonus of up to 1500 Q and they are running a Saving and Borrowing campaign where they are giving away 333k+ Q to the community. Those are the two best ones I have found so far.
Good luck with Quai, they have incentivized testnet as well aside from what you mentioned [1].

I did the shardeum one, lamina1 etc. and got nothing so far.
I'm active on Lamina1, their platform is good, discord support is good, I have feeling it will reward good. Let's see.

I don't wanna burn my money for something that is still remain unclear at this moment. I saw that many stupid influencers were always luring us to burn our money for the retrodrop like this https://twitter.com/nobrainflip/status/1704445264965038341
Yeah, I do same, I stopped chasing airdrops sometime ago, also less the effort and money involved, less the attachment, whatever comes of it's own accord I enjoy it.
Regarding Twitter influencers, it's because of revenue share to creators program, many people are milking it via creating retrospective airdrop threads.

I remember my friend who has been working on sei testnet for almost a year but he got paid 3 dollars from what he has done for almost a year. It looks so stupid to see how people keep being delusional in getting rich quickly from airdrop.
Many scumbags are using this opportunities to increase their engagement in x to get as many followers as possible.
True, it's very disappointed to see how SEI developer was indirectly scamming the testnet participants. SEI has lost its community. All the people have been moving to the new blockchain like base and OPbnb. The activity on SEI blockchain is declining a lot.
There are only fewer dapps still active at this moment. SEI will rekt soon. I must admit even though SUI was doing sale, but it was giving better reward than SEI.
If there would be a legit and sure way to get big airdrops, everyone would be using it and after a while that technique would be rendered ineffective as value is based on scarcity and you can't just gift everyone something and expect it to have value.
This is precisely what has happened. In start, retrospective airdrops were rewarding substantial amounts, as this trend got saturated and people started farming for potential ones, qualification requirements have gone high while reward got severely less. This is also the reason I don't expect much from layerzero, zksync but I'm curious how they gonna turn out.
As an ordinary people who are expecting to get airdrop and what i can do is just doing transactions in regular basis. I meant i don't even wanna to rush it caused by it's the same like gambling.

The current rumor if layer zero node already deployed ZRO token it's weird to see ZRO already there since a long time ago.
I just take if i will be lucky enough to be eligible for airdrop and im not having problem if i will also be ineligible for airdrop.
Airdrop is also based on how lucky we are.

if all those are qualified and are active retroactive participants then you could roughly guess whats gonna be the reward, definitely not a lot could be allocated to each addresses due to the overflow of the
participants themselves.
therefore don't have high expectation for these retroactive, because too many people are trying to be rich out of it meanwhile I don't think it will have any substantial amount of rewards seeking from the statistics themselves.

I agree, that airdrop hunting can be very time-consuming and unrewarding. I've spent countless hours tracking down potential airdrops, signing up for platforms, and completing tasks, but I've only received a few small or no airdrops at all in return. And Many airdrop platforms are scams. Some platforms promise large rewards for completing simple tasks, but they never actually deliver. Others collect users' personal information and then sell it to third parties.
I think you are confusing airdrops that are distributed for completing tasks on social networks with retrospective airdrops. And if you do not need to spend your money to get the first one, then retrospective airdrops is distributed as a rule behind the interaction in the main network, which accordingly entails spending your own money.

I have minted NFTs and traded them that has given me ton of money via airdrops later on. But that doesn't mean Minting NFTs is the key. I was just lucky with my timing. Same thing goes with everything. Be one of the first one doing something that no one seems to yet understand or be interested in, and if that is going to be next big thing, then you have hit gold. But it's all luck. There's no one way you could say it would work next time.
I didn't join a lot of it but I think BCH is the airdrop that the last one I've received. That's why I've missed a lot of them but I am not regretting that I've never joined a single of them since the last one that I've got for free. I'm just happy to see those people that have been sharing their wins with airdrops especially the last ones for this year which there have been tons of it in social platforms and even on the forum.
He is talkin about retro airdrops here and the one that you get on BCH seems different. BCH is a fork of BTC and as long as you have a BTC, you can get an equivalent amount of BCH (AFAIK). That happened long time ago. Unfortunately, I only a get a few of it because I only have a small amount of BTC that time.Yes, you shouldn't regret of the airdrops because many of them are just a scam. I'm sure what you are doing by the time they are coming out are more worth it. NFT and P2E games on the other hand are popular last time but again, many of them are just a flop. But if only you don't hold them longer maybe you can also earn something out your capital.

Paying transaction fees to get an airdrop rewar= scam.
I got op, arb, hop, uni and some that I don't remember by paying transaction fees. Quote
waiting for bounty/airdrop coins to get listed on the exchange os a waste of time.
Who waits these days in era of dexes? You can sell instantly as far as tokens are unlocked, yes there should be liquidity but any decent coin takes care of it well. Quote
Joining any project group for followup, with out an ANN thread in the forum is a waste of time.

its either the team are unfulfilling the promises of distributing the rewards or just simply giving away shitcoins, the scenario is the same, but we as a participants could also distinguish which projects are worthour time spent to, definitely don't just complete all airdrop tasks since 95% are just gonna be waste of energy.
its better to instead pick one thats really good and trustworthy and focus on that, like the ones having partnership with exchange that they got listed day 1 their token went public. its as simple as that but some people
are so eager to do all the tasks available to them hoping they have luck and get random rewards.
To be honest, airdrop is sometimes is waste of time is like gambling without evolving in real money, From the early of 2020 I joined multiple airdrop from telegram drop join the giveaway like gleam and now galxe and other stuff but it can be count that who really gives worth money the only big think that I receive from airdrop is from Seedify Fund that give me around 200$ at the time but i can manage save it to 500$.
There is a bunch of dropped less valuable token and NFT here and there. and most of the other airdrop has the fake team or the token really useless.
From there I'm rarely touch airdrop again but Im still on couple of telegram airdrop group and in some cases see people had a JackPot from airdrop but for somehow I always missed the train and at end of the day I can only see people get Jackpot from airdrop.

And that is the main cause the popularity of airdrops is dropping like a rock, even if the rewards were small there are many people which will be wiling to do those tasks, but when the people behind the airdrops refuse to pay for months and then they just disappear and this keeps happening all the time, then it is natural many bounty hunters are simply giving up as they are wasting an enormous amount of time, while getting no benefits at all in return.

All these defi air drops are getting harder and harder to get and even if you qualify the amount you get won’t be that much.
Best was 2 years ago when all you had to do was use the service once and you would qualify. But all these account farmers made it more difficult and why we have these Sybil detection in place to combat that. Hence why it’s more work and you get less rewards if there is an actual airdrop.
thats true, too much saturated airdrop participants quite literally destroy the airdrop itself, back then it was smooth and easy, the rewards is also bountiful but right now, even getting $50 out of doing some complicated retroactive task is already good enough which seemed silly to me.Best was 2 years ago when all you had to do was use the service once and you would qualify.

i would argue that airdrop right now is just simply waste of money and energy, there's just no good rewards anymore coming out of these airdrops, heck, even the binance launchpad that supposedly staking with money are giving some absymal rewards nowadays. I don't think airdrop could be worse than this in term of rewards.
