From major drops like Arbitrum and Starknet to smaller ones flooding X every week, airdrops were once seen as free money. But lately, many recipients are dumping immediately — crashing prices.
So, is the airdrop era still worth chasing?
📉 What the Trend Shows:
🪂 70%+ of recent airdrop tokens dropped over 40% within 7 days
🐋 Large holders often sell instantly, creating high volatility
👨💻 Farming culture has turned many airdrops into short-term profit events, not community building
💡 Why the Meta Is Changing:
🔻 Projects are losing long-term holders due to poor tokenomics
📉 Users are now more selective — chasing utility and rewards, not just hype
✅ Some protocols are rethinking airdrops using vesting, reputation scores, and on-chain engagement
📣 What Smart Traders & Creators Can Do:
Track quality projects that use fair launch models or progressive unlocks
Educate your audience about how to evaluate airdrops before farming
Spotlight projects that reward loyalty, not just wallets
💬 What’s Your Take?
Are airdrops still worth farming — or are they just exit liquidity now?
