💥Why is
$ARB the textbook for Layer2 airdrops?
Not because it was released early, but because it was released so cleverly.
At that time, all L2 projects were desperately competing for users, and only Arbitrum chose the most 'hardcore' path:
'Only those who have truly spent Gas on my chain and used my applications deserve to be my first batch of voters.'
In a word, those who received ARB are not opportunists, but builders.
🌪️That night, the entire network was checking if they were qualified
In March 2023, an announcement caused the entire community to explode:
'Arbitrum is going to airdrop!'
Millions of users flooded the official website, frantically refreshing their wallet addresses.
Some cried out, 'Wow, I have a share!'
Others were devastated: 'I crossed the bridge once, but the address was wrong.'
That night was not just about 'grabbing benefits',
but every old user was officially recognized: 'You are not a passerby, you are a shareholder.'
💰How exaggerated is this wave?
Arbitrum distributed a total of 11.6% of the tokens—about 116.2 million ARB.
Lowest tier users: 625 ARB
#空投 Highest tier: 10,250 ARB
When the launch price was $3,
the minimum tier alone could yield $1,875 (about 13,000 RMB).
At the peak of the 2021 bull market at $42.88,
that was nearly $40,000.
In a word: 'A single authentic on-chain interaction can bring an ordinary person a month's or even several months' salary.'
🧩Why could ARB become a 'legendary airdrop'?
Precise selection, no random distribution
It's not 'whoever registers gets it', but rather what you have truly done.
Crossing the bridge, making transactions, using ecological projects—you are the 'true user'.
💬Finally, one last word
If you missed out on ARB back then, don't regret it.
It's not that the opportunity didn't come, but that you weren't prepared.
The next Layer2, the next governance token airdrop,
may just be in the coming months.
