"I saw others grabbing thousands of dollars in airdrops, so I registered, linked Twitter, and ran scripts, but ended up with nothing, and my on-chain address got hacked."
You are not an exception.
Grabbing airdrops is not just about registering a few accounts and posting a few tweets; behind it is actually a complete logic of on-chain actions.
Only truly active wallet addresses can be recognized as 'valuable users'.
💡 Before grabbing airdrops, you at least need to know these:
🧩 What is on-chain interaction?
Records of 'actual operations' that happen between your wallet address and the blockchain, for example:
Transfer to project contracts (e.g., mint NFT)
Exchanging coins on DEX (e.g., Uniswap swap)
Perform operations like bridging, cross-chain, staking, etc.
❗ Only these behaviors will be recorded on-chain.
Retweeting, liking, registering on Discord ≠ on-chain operations.
🕵️♂️ How do airdrop projects determine if you are 'worth giving money to'?
Project parties will track your address's historical behavior, such as:
Have you interacted with a certain chain?
Is the operation frequency high or low? Is it a batch number?
Have you participated in interactions using real funds, or just relied on testnet bots?
They will write a script called 'snapshot conditions' to filter people; you must meet the conditions to get on the list.
🔍 How to check your address's on-chain behavior?
You can use these tools to see what your 'on-chain resume' looks like:
Tool usage websites: Zapper / DeBank for one-stop asset and interaction record viewing zapper.xyz / debank.com Arkham address profiling + on-chain behavior tags arkhamintelligence.com Dune publicly available snapshot data analysis dune.com Etherscan on-chain browser for all transfer/interactions raw records etherscan.io
📌 Tip:
If your wallet has no interactions and only relies on social account activity, it is very difficult to be selected by real airdrop projects.
🧨 Pitfall reminder: Common mistakes when grabbing airdrops.
Registration tool platform backfired and got harvested.
Some 'airdrop tools' are actually collecting wallets and batch phishing signatures.Brainlessly interacting with dozens of addresses, recognized as bot accounts.
Projects are getting smarter; similar behavior across a large number of addresses = bot armies, which get filtered out directly.Forgot to manage authorizations; wallet permissions exposed for years.
Not canceling authorizations after using contracts, leading to a day when you wake up to find your wallet emptied.
✅ Correct way to grab airdrops (not just relying on luck)
Use a primary wallet + sub-wallet combination for operations to spread risk;
Choose reliable new chains/protocols for interactions, such as recent ZK, Eigen, Fuel, etc.;
Regularly clean up authorizations, use Revoke.cash to check wallet permissions;
Participate in the testnet but don't rely solely on it; mainnet interactions are much more significant.
Remember to create a 'closed loop' for on-chain operations: complete the transfer + interaction + on-chain signature together.
