š What Is a Crypto Airdrop?
An airdrop is when a blockchain project gives away free tokens to reward users ā for loyalty, participation, or promotion.

⢠Holding a token
⢠Using a platform
⢠Completing small tasks
⢠Being early on testnets or DeFi apps

2. Holder Airdrop ā Hold a specific token and qualify via snapshot
3. Staking Airdrop ā Stake tokens and get rewarded in a partner token
