#空投发现指南

1. Find the right people and the right circles

Airdrops are not an isolated act; they are essentially a release of social capital. So the first step is to identify the core circles:

• Focus: primary builders, early VC partners, tech communities (such as EigenLayer, Celestia builders chat)

• Multi-platform synchronization: X (Twitter), Farcaster, Telegram, Discord

• Pay attention to small actions of private domain communication within the circle, such as who suddenly starts promoting a certain testnet.

Key Insight:

Who is moving first? Who is quiet? Airdrop resources are first given to the trust chain within the circle, not to the public shout-out.

2. It’s not about “completing tasks,” it’s about “becoming part of the builders”

Many people view airdrops as completing tasks and grinding data. This behavior may yield short-term rewards but has no long-term accumulation.

The truly robust strategy is:

• Participate in the real use during the early stages of the project (not just volume grinding)

• Reciprocal interactions (submit bugs, provide feedback, participate in community AMAs)

• Long-tail behavior (writing tweets, short articles to introduce this protocol, rather than just claiming task rewards)

Key Insight:

Project teams can tell whether you are a “real user”; airdrop designs are increasingly leaning towards a “quality points system.”

3. Identify promising projects

Not everything that goes on the testnet is worth pursuing. To judge whether a protocol is worth investing time in:

• Backing capital (if there are shadows of Paradigm, a16z, Polychain, prioritize them)

• Technical depth (Layer 2, modular infrastructure, DePIN tend to have larger airdrop volumes)

• Community activity (not just active shouting; active discussion on technology and direction)

• Is the token economic design reasonable (is there a clear airdrop allocation commitment?)

Key Insight:

High-quality airdrops often come from projects that have not yet been “shouted out” but are being keenly watched by the inner circle.

4. Tools and resources (essential for practice)

Airdrop discovery is actually an art of intelligence gathering. Here are some recommended practical resources:

• Airdrop Hunting platforms: Earn Alliance, DeBank Airdrop Tracker

• Twitter accounts: @0xNoble, @cryptovestor, @hellodropio

• Communities: LayerZero Farmers, Modular Crypto Club

• Automatic tracking scripts: Dune Dashboard, self-built Onchain Interaction Tracker
