New to Airdrops? Start Here
Learn what airdrops are, what to prepare, and why rewards are never guaranteed.
An airdrop distributes tokens—crypto assets—to a group of wallet addresses. Projects may use airdrops to introduce a service or reward early users.
Every project sets its own requirements. Completing an activity does not guarantee that you will receive tokens, especially when the project has not officially announced an airdrop.
To start learning, prepare:
- A wallet that supports the project's network. Learn how it works before connecting it to an app.
- Official sources you have verified, such as the project's website and documentation. Save the addresses so you can return to them easily.
- A simple record of the project name, activity, date, status, and any costs you paid.
Tokens distributed at no charge can still involve transaction costs. On Ethereum, for example, transactions require a network fee known as gas.
Set time and spending limits from the start; do not add transactions solely because you expect a larger reward.
For example, if you have tried an app but the project has not announced an airdrop, mark the activity as completed while keeping the reward status unknown. Community rumors or estimates are not promises from the project.
Keep your wallet recovery information—your seed phrase—and private keys secret. Never enter them on a claim site or send them through chat.
Your first step today: choose one project, save its official sources, then read its purpose and requirements. Before connecting your wallet, make sure you understand the site you opened and the access it requests.
