🧩 How Studios Dominate the Airdrop

Studio Accounts = High Volume

There are about 30,000 spots, with studios occupying roughly 20,000.

They don’t claim them all—only enough to ensure they capture most of the unclaimed share

Unclaimed Slots Refill the Pool

The remaining 10,000 spots go unclaimed—but rather than vanish, those slots get replenished, typically scooped up by the same studio-controlled wallets

Studios use this to reallocate claim rights, essentially expanding their take while appearing to claim less.

Crafty Claiming Strategy

Instead of one account claiming one drop, a single “studio” account can cherry-pick from multiple retail-eligible slots.

Suppose they pick the best 10,000 claims—that effectively means they’re using 10,000 studio accounts to claim 15,000 airdrops, if you do the math

Retail Block-Out

With studios staying low-key, retail users may get cues that "'front row' accounts didn’t claim."

But in reality? Those are just different studio-controlled wallets never intending to claim, deliberately blocking real folks from getting in.

🧮 Rough Number Example

Total spots: 30K

Studio-controlled: 20K

They claim: Only 10K accounts

Unclaimed remain: 10K, which refill…

Result: Studios still end up with ~15K claims, spread across fewer wallets

🛑 Key Takeaway

🚨 Stop thinking “front row” = real users. It’s all managed.

Studios intentionally leave slots vacant to optimize total claims.

Retail users are effectively barred or marginalized—even if they do sign up.
