What is an Airdrop?

A crypto airdrop is typically performed by blockchain startups to promote new projects. The goal is to spread awareness and encourage more users to join. Airdrops are usually announced through official channels, and tokens are distributed to selected wallets.

Sometimes, eligibility requires holding a minimum amount of crypto. In other cases, tasks such as posting on forums, sharing on social media, or testing a network are enough to qualify.
