#AirdropStepByStep Airdrop in crypto is the distribution of tokens or coins for free, usually to promote a new project or reward the community. The main goal is to attract attention, increase the number of users, and ensure the decentralization of tokens.
There are several types of airdrops:
1. Standard (no actions): you simply receive tokens if you hold a certain cryptocurrency or wallet.
2. Bounty airdrop: you need to complete tasks - subscribe to social networks, retweet, fill out a form, etc.
3. Holder airdrop: tokens are given for holding another cryptocurrency (for example, if you held ETH, you received tokens of a new project).
4. Exclusive/loyalty airdrop: for early users of the platform or active community participants.
5. Hard fork airdrop: creation of new cryptocurrency through the split of an existing network (like Bitcoin Cash after the Bitcoin fork).
Pros:
• Free tokens.
• Opportunity to earn from price appreciation.
• Low entry threshold.
Cons:
• Often scams or phishing attacks.
• Low real value of tokens.
• May require sharing personal data or access to your wallet.
