What Is a Crypto Airdrop?

If you've been hearing about people getting “free tokens” just by using an app or holding a coin — you're not dreaming. That's an airdrop.

But what is a crypto airdrop, really?

A crypto airdrop is a free distribution of tokens to users' wallets. It’s usually done by new blockchain projects to reward early users, promote the token, or decentralize ownership.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Why do projects do airdrops?

To reward early supporters

To build community loyalty

To increase awareness and token usage

Types of airdrops:

Standard Airdrops – Just sign up and get tokens

Holder Airdrops – You must hold a specific coin

Task-based Airdrops – Complete small tasks (follow, retweet, etc.)

Retroactive Airdrops – Use a project early, and get rewarded later

Pro tip: Always use a clean wallet (one not tied to your main funds), and never give out your private keys!
