How to Find a Good Airdrop

Finding truly potential airdrops requires a combination of research, experience, and a bit of intuition. Here are the methods and criteria I usually use:

1. Discovery Methods

Follow official crypto project accounts and trusted influencers: Twitter, Telegram, and Discord are the main sources. I select accounts that often share credible information, not just airdrop spam.

Use airdrop aggregator sites: I use sites like airdrops.io or Earnify, but I don’t participate directly—I still research the project.

Monitor trending ecosystems: For example, when the Layer 2 or ZK-Rollups ecosystems are gaining popularity, projects within them usually actively distribute airdrops.

2. Evaluation Criteria

Team and investor support: If a project is backed by renowned VCs (such as a16z, Binance Labs), that’s a positive signal.

Community activity and regular updates: Projects that are active on social media, have a clear roadmap, and frequently update are usually more serious.

Reasonable contributions: Airdrops that require simple contributions (like testnet participation or using dApps) are more trustworthy than those that only ask for massive referrals.

Value and tokenomics: I check if the token has real utility, not just created to be distributed and then abandoned.

3. Recent Examples

Starknet (STRK): Many received airdrops because they were active in the testnet from the beginning. This is an example of a strong project with a large community.

LayerZero (ZRO - prediction): The airdrop hasn’t been released yet, but I am actively interacting with its ecosystem because there are many signals pointing towards token distribution.
