#AirdropGuide

Crypto airdrops are a method used by blockchain projects to distribute free tokens or coins to a specific group of holders or the general public. This practice is primarily used for marketing purposes, enhancing the liquidity of a new coin, and incentivizing users to engage with a project.

How Airdrops Work:

Selection Criteria: Airdrops can be targeted to specific criteria such as existing holders of a cryptocurrency, members of a community (like Discord or Telegram), or users who have completed certain tasks (like sharing a post or following social media accounts).

Distribution Method: The tokens are usually distributed to users' wallets. Participants often need to provide their wallet addresses or complete a verification process.

Announcement: Airdrops are typically announced on social media, newsletters, or directly through the project’s website.

Distribution Date: After successful registration or task completion, tokens are distributed on a specified date. Recipients can then trade the tokens on exchanges or hold them for future use.

Types of Airdrops:

Standard Airdrops: Tokens are distributed for free to holders of a specific cryptocurrency—often based on having a certain amount of that coin in their wallet.

Example: An Ethereum-based project might distribute its tokens to all Ethereum wallet holders at a specific snapshot date.

Bounty Airdrops: Participants complete tasks (such as sharing on social media, referring others, or participating in community activities) to earn free tokens.

Example: A project may offer tokens to users who tweet about them with a specific hashtag.

Holder Airdrops: Tokens are given to existing holders of a token or coin. This encourages holding and usage.

Example: A DeFi project may reward Ethereum holders based on the amount they have staked.

Exclusive Airdrops: Limited to specific community members, often requiring registration or participation in a closed event.

Example: A project might hold an exclusive airdrop for members of their Telegram group.
