This is the most basic form of an airdrop. It involves the distribution of free tokens to a set number of wallets, often based on user participation or ownership of a specific asset (like holding a certain cryptocurrency in a wallet).
This type of airdrop targets people who hold a specific cryptocurrency or token at the time of the snapshot. For example, a project may airdrop tokens to users who hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, or their own token.
Bounty airdrops reward users for completing specific tasks like following the project on social media, joining their Telegram group, tweeting about the project, or referring others. The more tasks a user completes, the more tokens they receive.
Exclusive airdrops are given to a select group of individuals. These individuals may be early investors, long-time supporters, or users from specific regions. They are often used to reward loyal participants.
A fork airdrop occurs when a blockchain network splits or forks. Holders of the original token are usually entitled to receive new tokens on the forked network. This happens automatically, often without the need for additional actions from the user.
This is similar to the "Holder Airdrop" but is specifically used for distributing tokens to those who have tokens on a specific blockchain, often related to new updates, changes, or governance decisions in the project.
In this case, a project rewards users who participate in social media campaigns such as liking, sharing, or retweeting posts about the project. This helps boost the project's visibility.
Users must sign up or "whitelist" themselves to be eligible for an airdrop. This type of airdrop often involves a registration process where users need to provide their wallet address and complete certain tasks to be eligible.
This type of airdrop is offered to new users who sign up on a platform or join a community. They may need to create an account, deposit funds, or perform some other activity to qualify for the free tokens.
Some projects distribute tokens to users based on their participation in governance activities, like voting on proposals or contributing to decision-making processes within the project’s community.
Each type of airdrop serves different goals, whether it’s to grow the user base, reward loyal holders, or promote the project.
