Many crypto companies distribute free coins to their communities to increase their project’s visibility, increase the circulating supply and stimulate trade. These free distributions are commonly known as “airdrops.”

Most of the airdrops that we present are “bounty” drops, which will reward you with tokens for completing simple social media tasks (Joining their Telegram group, reposting on Twitter, etc.). This offering creates a win-win scenario because the company gets free marketing, and you get free crypto. Other airdrops will reward you for simply holding a specific coin without expectation of any reciprocal consideration.

Cryptocurrencies only hold value because people believe in them and recognize their worth. The more people who own a cryptocurrency, the more likely it is to become widely adopted and rise in value. Airdrops are effective due to the “endowment effect,” a phenomenon in which people will ascribe value to things merely because they own them.

By executing a bounty airdrop, a startup can create mass awareness about their project, token sale or pre-ICO with minimal cost to them. Social media campaigns allow the project to become visible to people who would otherwise never recognize its existence. Airdrops can also create a vast network of users who are motivated to push a project’s success by doing things together like winning community votings for exchange listings.

By rewarding token owners with free airdrops, projects can also encourage users to hold (HODL) their coin for the long-term. This can effectively lower the selling pressure of the coin. Holder airdrops have been a popular tactic amongst some of the most successful crypto projects, like NXT, WAVES, Bitcore and more.

How to Claim Crypto Airdrops: A Complete Guide

Claiming crypto airdrops is a process that varies depending on the type of airdrop and the project’s requirements. This guide covers everything you need to know about identifying, qualifying for, and claiming different types of airdrops.

What Are Crypto Airdrops?

Crypto airdrops are free distributions of tokens or cryptocurrencies to specific wallet addresses. Projects use airdrops as a marketing strategy to increase awareness, reward early users, or distribute governance rights. The value of airdrop rewards can range from a few dollars to thousands, depending on the project.

Types of Airdrops

Standard Airdrops

These are the simplest form where projects distribute tokens to wallets that meet basic criteria, such as:

• Holding a minimum amount of specific cryptocurrencies
• Having an active wallet address before a specific date
• Completing basic social media tasks

Retroactive Airdrops

These reward users who engaged with a project before the airdrop announcement. Examples include:

• Trading on a protocol
• Providing liquidity
• Using specific features or services
• Holding governance tokens of related projects

Governance Airdrops

These distribute voting rights and often require users to:

• Participate in protocol governance
• Vote on proposals
• Delegate voting power
• Maintain active involvement in the project’s ecosystem

How to Find Legitimate Airdrops

To find genuine airdrop opportunities:

• Follow official project announcements and social media
• Use reputable airdrop tracking websites such as airdrops.io
• Join community Discord servers and Telegram groups
• Monitor crypto news platforms for upcoming projects
• Verify all information through official sources to avoid scams

Claiming Process

The claiming process typically involves:

1. Connecting your wallet to the project’s website
2. Verifying eligibility through their interface
3. Signing a transaction to claim tokens
4. Paying network gas fees for the claim transaction
5. Adding the token to your wallet for visibility

Important Safety Considerations

When participating in airdrops:

• Never share your private keys or seed phrase
• Only connect to official project websites
• Check smart contract addresses on block explorers
• Be cautious of phishing attempts and fake websites
• Use a separate wallet for airdrop farming
• Verify gas fees before confirming transactions

Tips for Maximizing Airdrop Opportunities

1. Maintain active wallets on multiple networks (Ethereum, Solana, etc.)
2. Regularly interact with promising DeFi protocols
3. Keep minimum token balances for eligibility
4. Create accounts on major centralized exchanges
5. Monitor governance forums of leading projects
6. Participate in testnet programs when available

Common Challenges and Solutions

High Gas Fees

• Wait for off-peak hours to claim
• Use layer-2 solutions when available
• Bundle multiple claims if possible

Missed Deadlines

• Set calendar reminders for claim periods
• Join notification groups
• Follow project announcements regularly

Technical Issues

• Keep multiple wallet options available
• Maintain sufficient network tokens for gas
• Save technical guides and resources for reference

 

When do airdrops expire?

Most airdrops have a claim period ranging from a few weeks to several months. Always check official announcements for deadlines.

Are airdrops taxable?

In many jurisdictions, airdrops are considered taxable income. Consult local tax regulations or a tax professional for guidance.

Can I use the same wallet for multiple airdrops?

Yes, but using separate wallets for different activities can help organize claims and reduce security risks.

Remember that the airdrop landscape constantly evolves, with new distribution methods and requirements emerging regularly. Stay informed about best practices and security measures to safely participate in airdrop opportunities.

An ETH address, also known as an ERC20 address, is the receiving address of an Ethereum wallet. The address starts with “0x” and is followed by a series of 40 random characters. In MyEtherWallet, your receiving address is the “Account Address.” In MetaMask, your ETH address can be found by clicking the menu icon (•••) and clicking “Copy Address to clipboard.”

---

Most airdrops are distributed after the completion of the ICO. This prevents the bounty collectors from creating premature price action before the ICO has finished. Sometimes, bounties are distributed weeks or months after an ICO, so if you have a question about a specific coin you should try contacting one of the Admins in their Telegram group. Admins can be found by looking at the group members and finding the ones with the “admin” badge next to their names.

There are many reasons why you may not have received your airdrop. Perhaps you did not complete all of the steps, entered invalid information or forgot to submit the form with your details. You may have also left the Telegram group, deleted your social media shares, or changed your usernames. All of these will cause you to forfeit your airdrop rewards. To be sure that you always receive your airdrops, follow our Step-By-Step guides very closely and always be sure not to delete your social media posts and stay in the Telegram groups until the token distribution has ended. Other common reasons for missing an airdrop payout: you tried to claim multiple times; you did not have enough Twitter/Facebook friends; you never sent a message in the Telegram group; your Twitter/Facebook is private (only public posts will be credited).

A hard fork is when a cryptocurrency splits into two separate currencies. The first hard fork was Bitcoin Cash which was split from Bitcoin at block #478,558 on August 1st, 2017. Bitcoin forks and the forking of other chains became popular since then. We list hard forks for mostly informative purposes, but also because we see them as dividends and similar to an airdrop. We are not able to verify the safety or legitimacy of hard forks, so always be cautious and make sure to claim forks with the private key of an empty wallet.

Many ETH wallets will require you to add custom tokens in order to view the balance. To view your token balances quickly, simply type your ETH address into Ethplorer. All of your available custom tokens will be shown under “Token Balances.” To add a custom token to your wallets such as MetaMask or MyEtherWallet, you will need to find the Contract Address of each token and the decimals of precision, which can be found by searching each token’s ticker on Etherscan.

You can easily set a Telegram @username by going to your Settings -> Username and typing an available name. This will be a common identifier in airdrop and bounty campaigns, so make sure you set one! Your username is NOT your display name!

Go to Bitcointalk.org and click on the Profile tab. Click on Account Related Settings on the left side menu. Copy the URL in the address bar, excluding the part at the end “;sa=account.” This is your profile link.

---

In order to copy the link of one of your Bitcointalk comments, click on your Profile, scroll down and choose “Show the last posts of this person.” Find the comment you are looking for and click on the part of the title that looks like: “Re: Thread Title.” Copy the URL shown at the top. There should be an identifier of your specific message in the URL which looks like “#msg35745411.”

---

Click on the timestamp under “Your Name shared a post.” This will take you to a Facebook page dedicated to your shared post. Copy the URL in the address bar.

---

In order to copy the link to get credit for a shared Twitter post, you must add a comment and not simply retweet the post. This is done by clicking the retweet icon, and then typing a comment in the “Add a comment…” box. Once you are done, click Retweet and go to your profile. Find the tweet and click on the upside-down carrot (^) for the menu options. Click on “Copy link to Tweet.” Notice that this link will take you to a page dedicated to your specific retweet, and not the original tweet that you are reposting. If you simply retweet a post without a comment and click “Copy link to Tweet,” it will link back to the original, and you will not receive credit for your share.

Note: you will NOT be credited for retweets if your account is private. Your posts must be public.
