Unpopular opinion: Airdrops should be vested. Especially for KOLs.

Current playbook: Claim airdrop ASAP and sell. And move on.

Even if you're bullish on the token it's better sell first and then buy back later as airdrop induced selling stops.

Vesting playbook: Airdrop launches at high FDV. You get huge airdrop. You feel rich. But you need 6 months until tokens slowly unlock.

What do you do?

Continue to be bullish about the project. Post about it. Check on the community sentiment. Check what the team says etc.

If airdrop is vested, you are aligned in the longer run.

Sure, you can say it delays the inevitable dumping but projects get valuable mindshare in the meantime.
