⚙️ How does it work?
There are several types of airdrops:
1. ✅ Automatic Airdrop
You receive tokens simply because you already hold another cryptocurrency in your wallet (for example, ETH or SOL).
2. 📝 Signup Airdrop (task-based)
You must complete certain tasks:
Subscribe to a Twitter account
Join a Telegram group
Fill out a form
Use a DApp (decentralized application)
In exchange, you receive free tokens.
3. 💎 Loyal User Airdrop ('retroactive airdrop')
If you used a protocol before it launched its token, you may be rewarded retroactively.
