This airdrop for me is the real retrospective airdrop experience! Just like Arbitrum. No need for a lot of things to do, as long as you are using the product at all in general.
Just like what happened in Arbitrum before, like there are already lot platforms especially DeFi platforms in Arbitrum before the airdrop and you just casually using the chain without knowing or expecting any airdrop.

If you accidentally used the Arbitrum blockchain, then I am sure that your airdrop was small compared to those who made efforts to increase the volume and number of transactions. And it is natural that their efforts were generously rewarded, although those who accidentally used the blockchain were also satisfied, as they received free coins that they did not even count on.

A bad one will not get any attention at all if it is being realistic so they tell lies, but I honestly hoped that it would be like that, obviously everyone would jump into the good ones, but if bad ones were real, at least people would check them out too and they could still find plenty of people who will want even tiny amounts. Instead, we have bunch of airdrops where people all claim the biggest and greatest. Like check the bounty page on this forum, it says stuff like 250K DOLLARS WORTH AIRDROP, and you check and they consider their shitcoin 1 dollar whereas it won't be even 1 cent, so what they claim to be paying is 250k and yet they do not pay even few dollars.

In my experience, any project that beforehand tells you without their token being on market, that they are going to give such amount of $ value to users, is going to fail, it's never going to worth as what they promise.

And it's not a new thing, bounty projects back in 2016/17 used to do same to get attention of bounty hunters, now the same net is spread for airdrop hunters.

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.

Project owners are becoming too hard to release rewards especially those which they will asked to perform some specific task and, I can also witness a kind of manipulation in airdrop campaign because I can remember then when one has to do a minor task to be able to receive rewards some of these are to just joined their telegram group and make good comments to receive rewards. Even the testnet nowadays does not rewards it's participate that much rather giving participants cooked stories.

I wish that it was like how it used to be but unfortunately it is not, most of the people are not doing something even remotely similar and we need to realize that. I get that it may not be all that amazing and all that, but at least I hope that it was fair, like they tell you what they are going to do.

Recently found the PYTH network Airdrop and that was on the Solana Chain which gives users a huge amount of free Airdrop which were qualify for it and the prices now has been 0.41$ per Token. Although I was not selected in that Airdrop but I have seen users have won $23k from just this Airdrop which works consistently. I have noticed one thing in all these Airdrops when the market is good then the Airdrop would be better and can give a huge amount of money to the users but when the market is not good that all then it would not give that much of the amount we expect from them.

Yea, this is why I suggest to take your part from airdrops you get, money is not yours until you actually sell. Many of current projects won't survive in harsh bear market conditions.

This airdrop for me is the real retrospective airdrop experience! Just like Arbitrum. No need for a lot of things to do, as long as you are using the product at all in general.
Just like what happened in Arbitrum before, like there are already lot platforms especially DeFi platforms in Arbitrum before the airdrop and you just casually using the chain without knowing or expecting any airdrop.

Retrospective airdrops are still like that, I mean that's what 'retrospective' word implies. It's just that people have started speculating whether particular projects will give airdrop or not, what will be the conditions, etc and then they do things/tasks in hope for getting lucky which sometimes works, sometimes not. You are free to not speculate and enjoy whatever comes on it's own.

And now we are all in wait for the Layer zero through which we can get a huge benefits and we will see that I think in the Next year start. So, we are waiting for it now. May be it would make us rich.

...Even SEI developers which have been trusted by so many venture capital already deceived the whole of its testnet hunters.

Of course, many were disappointed by the SEI team's decision that airdrop was not automatically distributed to all wallets, but for the sake of fairness, it should be noted that they never promised that they were going to distribute airdrop among the participants of the same network. Therefore, we cannot claim that we were deceived by the SEI team.

If it's testnets, obviously I don't want to try it and I've also seen that the payout is very small and it depends on the points and quests we complete and it would be a waste of time. Now the airdrop, the problem is that many people participate, it is drawn randomly and the chances are very small. It also depends on the project, so do your research first. NFTs difficult because not as profitable as they used to be, because yes, since the AI boom, everything is easy if you generate 3D or some kind of fantasy virtual asset image. However, the NFT space still has a lot of potential, but for now it is more important for me to be careful and not over-invest.

Any campaign that has points/quests, it's waste of time and this includes all this platforms like zealy/questn/galx. The harder the task the more the reward, like running node — not many people do such tasks, also the less saturated the project more the reward.

Most nfts are useless, only aptos rewarded for holding nft, I don't think it's to do with AI tho.

It is completely true, majority of it is just waste of your time, you may not be spending any money on them, but you are spending your time and time is something we can't get back. I would even rather spend money on them unless it is a huge amount instead of waste my time, because I can lose money and then keep working and earn that money back, money can be earned anytime, but I can't get back the time I wasted on these stuff.

This is why when you are joining an airdrop, do not consider your time cheap, doesn't matter where you live or how poor you are, you should instead spend your time learning new stuff which would be profitable for you on the long term. I agree that it is not that easy but it is definitely not worth it.

but then again these project never promise that they will have an airdrop, even allocation isn't even disclosed properly into the public so I don't think its really problem coming from their sides.
also added with the fact that sometimes most of the devs outright refuse to have plan of airdrops though sometime the ending is different but it seems they just don't want to take responsibility of giving airdrop.

therefore I think if anyone really wanna get the airdrop then just do the task, but never expect anything from it, airdrop was never sure way to make money in the past and its the same nowadays.
if someone want to make money for sure why they are not investing instead? though i know the result of airdrop sometime massive but its just 1 out of 100 projects out there even less.

No expectation is always a good idea, significant airdrops I got were all organic. Meanwhile, some that I farmed consciously turned out worth peanuts or they didn't do an airdrop. It's just less headache when you are genuine.

Testnet airdrops now waste a lot of time and are more tedious.
Results are not worth it and always disappointing what has been worked on for months or years...

Even if there are no awards for working in the test network, it will still be useful for a beginner, as it will allow to learn and consolidate in practice various interactions with various contracts. In addition, the execution of tasks in the test network can serve as an additional multiplier, which can affect the size of the airdrop.

The good airdrops have passed and now the new project is just capitalizing on the hype trend on twitter.
That in a bear market no testnet airdrop is profitable.
And the crazy thing is that yeast costs a lot of money, to bridge to other chains, minted NFTs, not to mention other claims.

so many testnet airdrops are indeed just waste of time, even the upcoming venom blockchain I assume would just reward a dime.
but even then many are still doing the tasks knowing the future hasn't been really good with these but I don't think that these testnet tasks usually costs money because as you know they are testnet and
its just that sometime the task are really complicated task.

people should just stop doing all these testnet they quite literally get taken advantage of by the devs that want free tester.

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.

I participated in the sei testnet as well. I have an officer role and only received 100 Sei(Around 20$). Also, they do not distribute all the airdrop allocation(Which is 300M). Most of the users do not receive any allocation. So all the sei Dapps are moved to other networks like BASE to handle the situation. Otherwise, their sei dapps will be rekt. These days most of the projects exit rug pulls.

thats really too bad, i've seen the fact that sei network currently aren't really that populated with dapps, most of the dapps also escaped, they knew that this sei blockchain is doomed from the start
and its because the devs themselves and its really silly considering the fact that this blockchain could be big had the devs are fair.
but nah, the devs seemed only care about the money they good from funding by investors and just doesn't wanna distribute reward fairly because they are concerned of spending money to contain the dumping
in short they want to keep their money from being used for the coin itself.

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.

I have been doing many zealy campaigns since last year but got nothing. It's a useless platform. Many of legit airdrop rarely involved zealy task in their process. IDK why airdrop hunters are still using zealy.

True. I saw some fake testnet campaigns on x and zealy ran by scammers. Scammers are tricking people who search for airdrops and testnets to boost their own x accounts.
It can be quite challenging to discern whether the testnet is legitimate or not. Even SEI developers which have been trusted by so many venture capital already deceived the whole of its testnet hunters.

- 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.

=99% Testnet are waste of time and only 1% percent will give you low reward.
=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.

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. 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

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.

probably gonna be turning out the same like any other retroactive airdrop that got too saturated, in 19 may 2023 alone zksync have reached more than 1.5 million unique address.
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.

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 worth
our 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.
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.

...at this highly saturated retroactive airdrops, you just don't expect too much, you just use their blockchain just for the sake of interacting with smart contract and thats it. just don't do useless tasks.

After the generous airdrops that were distributed by the Arbitrum and Optimism teams, users hope that the next airdrops will be just as generous. Therefore, if any project does not distribute the expected remuneration among early participants, this may entail ignoring participation in subsequent ones.

After testnet airdrop have been over with hype have new kinds or model rule from airdrop called retrospective airdrop, we have spent fees for swapping coins, bridge and add liquidity for eligible with airdrop when announcing in the future. Not all all retrospective airdrop is promising for their participants get airdrop and they not guarantee for airdrop retroactive allocation, its looks gambling when spending fees for joining with retrospective airdrop. I have quit with testnet airdrop after SUI and SEI coins are giving us how bad their management with many hunter expected will get reward from testnet airdrop but they are not allocated yet.

For next time, which one worth airdrop for participating will testnet become popular again or have to spent fees for joining with retrospective airdrop.

Its truly waste of time with platform like zealy and galxe, most of the coin that have tasks there are either absolute shit coin or just simply don't have money for marketing which indirectly says that their airdrops gonna be shit too.
moreover the task is overly complicated and take so much time and yet 99% of the time you're gonna be given some NFT that absolutely have zero value, i think this platform is just simply useless and absolute waste of time I wonder why so many people still doing tasks there.

actually, those projects who are still doing these airdrop activities are still lucky as there are still some users who are willing to complete such tasks in exchange of their tokens or coins. which mostly won't hit in the trading market. i already stopped joining from these activities a long long time ago. it is hard to find a valuable airdrop these days, unless it is handled by known sites like binance.

Yep, the truth that many people do not like to accept and waste time, money, health,... I would like to add that developers are wasting their time with users in this market. So What would be reasonable here?

Repeating everything the OP and what I mentioned, waste is wasting time, effort, and money on things we don't understand. The reverse story of the few projects that resonate in this space only brings happiness to a few, just think if we are willing to research those things in the hope of having a chance.

So if you don't want to waste money, go through those things first to see the mistakes later. If you're lucky, you can also receive some budget. And the work of finding opportunities in this market will really be promoted when they find its many traps. I quite like to say "the beginning of success will be failures".

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.

I participated in the sei testnet as well. I have an officer role and only received 100 Sei(Around 20$). Also, they do not distribute all the airdrop allocation(Which is 300M). Most of the users do not receive any allocation. So all the sei Dapps are moved to other networks like BASE to handle the situation. Otherwise, their sei dapps will be rekt. These days most of the projects exit rug pulls.

I have marked any task related to the zealy or something like this as a useless thing. Many of stupid scammers were increasing their followers through this bullshit platform.
Since x implemented new ads mechanism and many scammers are trying to use the stupidity from airdrop participants to build their account to participate in the ads revenua sharing program.
