In rough order of how well they’ve correlated with large allocations historically:
- Liquidity provision — adding liquidity to DEXs or lending protocols. Especially valued if you held the position over time rather than dumping immediately.
- Bridging — moving assets cross-chain, especially to newer networks early in their life
- Swapping — using the native DEX on a protocol, with real volume
- Staking/Restaking — locking assets in protocol contracts
- Governance voting — participating in on-chain governance shows genuine engagement and is weighted heavily by some projects
- Testnet participation — early testers often receive extra allocation
- Social tasks — following, sharing, Discord engagement. These matter less for big drops but still count in point-based systems
The common thread: real activity with real funds, repeated over time. A consistent wallet with moderate activity over six months usually beats a wallet that went wild for one week.
