An airdrop occurs when a Web3 project distributes free tokens to specific wallet addresses to increase its visibility and attract early users. This is one of the most direct methods for projects to gain a user base. Airdrops can generally be categorized into the following types based on how they are claimed:

- Task-Based: Completing tasks specified by the project, such as sharing content or liking posts.

- Interaction-Based: Performing actions like token swaps, sending/receiving tokens, or cross-chain operations.

- Holding-Based: Holding specified tokens from the project to qualify for the airdrop.

- Staking-Based: Earning airdropped tokens through single or dual-asset staking, providing liquidity, or long-term token lock-up.
