Talking about how to refine and diversify the airdrop conditions?
Author: Hu Tao, Biscuit, Chain Catcher
On April 27th, Optimism, the Ethereum expansion solution, officially announced that it will issue the token OP, and airdrop 5% of the total tokens to users who have used Optimism multiple times and active users of the Ethereum mainnet. About 264,000 addresses are eligible for the airdrop condition.
It is worth noting that the rules of this airdrop are more diversified and refined than those of other projects. For example, users with active records in four different weeks can get additional rewards. Active DAO participants and multi-signature wallets on Ethereum can use Participants can also get airdrops.
In the past year or so, with the emergence of the sudden wealth effect of many airdrops, as well as more and more wool party batch interaction and Bo airdrops, the formulation of airdrop rules has increasingly tested the wisdom and pattern of the project party. In the past six months, many projects have gotten rid of the simple interaction or airdrop mode, but have formulated more refined rules for active and loyal users. For example, active users in a longer period can get higher weights, even active Discord speeches Participants can also get a good airdrop. At the same time, many project parties have begun to use airdrops as a way to attract high-quality communities and attract high-quality on-chain users.

1、Deversifi
The Layer 2 trading protocol Deversifi announced an airdrop to historical interactive users on December 2, 2021. The snapshot time was November 16, when a single airdrop was worth $700-3600.
Deversifi said that the historical interactive users of the project reached 29,000, but the number of users who actually received airdrops is relatively limited, because the project has certain requirements for the amount of user interaction and the time period. According to the blog, the project divides historical transaction users into 5 groups according to user transaction amount and cycle:
62.5 DVF tokens are awarded to users with a transaction volume above $150 and who have been active for at least 2 weeks
200 DVF tokens are awarded to users with transaction volume above $1000 and active for at least 5 weeks
100 DVF tokens are awarded to users with a transaction volume above $20,000 and who have been active for at least 1 week
250 DVF rewards for users with transaction volume above $10,000 and active for at least 2 weeks
300 DVF rewards for users with a transaction volume above $100,000 and active users for at least 1 week
It can be seen that the project pays special attention to the statistical indicator of active weeks. Even if the transaction amount is only 1,000 US dollars, users with more active weeks will receive more airdrops than users with transaction amounts greater than 10,000 US dollars.
In addition, Deversifi said that it has also filtered and checked suspicious accounts, and canceled the air investment qualification for account chains with repetitive small deposits, loss transactions, and internal transfers.

2、Paraswap
The decentralized exchange Paraswap airdropped historical interactive users in mid-November 2021. The number of historical interactive addresses of the project exceeded 1.3 million, but a strict screening process was also set up to eliminate potential airdrop hunters. The final number of qualified addresses The number is about 26,000. Based on the highest price, the average airdrop is worth nearly 10,000 U.S. dollars.
The team explained the filtering logic of the token airdrop on the blog, aiming to reward real ParaSwap active users based on participation:
Early users get more airdrops: Reward the earliest (2019) users, divided into 3 levels and set the upper limit of airdrops. Even early users with small transaction volumes can get large airdrops.
Clean up wool party addresses: If the funds of multiple transactions come from the same address, or eventually gather to the same address, it will be marked as a wool party address. In addition, obvious brush volume transactions are also marked as wool party addresses, such as only trading ETH<> WETH、BNB <> WBNB。
Multi-chain raw data: have at least 50 transaction histories in their respective networks, or have the lowest native token balance, the minimum token balance of Ethereum is set to 0.028 ETH, BSC is 0.25 BNB, Polygon is 20 Matic, Avalanche C-Chain is 0.9 AVAX.
Interaction with other projects: If the address only interacts with the project to be airdropped, it will be filtered.
Activity level: Use ParaSwap at least 6 times in the past 6 months.
The types of tokens traded: If users only trade relatively small tokens, they will not be eligible.

3、Swivel Finance
Swivel Finance, a decentralized interest rate derivatives protocol, went live on its mainnet on February 10, and retroactively airdropped SWIV tokens to community members and stakeholders. The project airdrops 4.5% of total tokens to the community, with 0.5% going to protected mainnet lenders, 1% going to verified Discord community contributors (verified feedback and content), and 1% going to Gitcoin core alumni And Mentor, 2% belong to Compound, Aave, FEIRari (Fei + Rari) & Gitcoin on-chain governance participants, the snapshot time is February 8th, a total of 1852 addresses are eligible.
Compared with the common interactive airdrop model, the project’s airdrop objects are limited to lenders, and also include active community communicators and active governance users of other mainstream lending projects. This is also an increasingly popular airdrop model.

4、DexGuru
The airdrop mode announced by the decentralized transaction aggregator DexGuru in February this year is even more special. It does not airdrop to interactive users like other transaction aggregators, but to users who tip DexGuru during the transaction process, as well as competitors DEXT , UniWhales, Chartex, AstroTools and other project token holders airdrop NFT.
Afterwards, DexGuru started DAO governance based on the NFT, and determined the token airdrop quota according to the governance participation activity, that is, participating in more than 50% of the voting activities on the Snapshot platform is eligible for airdrops, and those who participate in more than 75% of the voting activities will be eligible to receive 1.5 times Multiplier airdrop.

5、Optimism
Optimism, the second-layer expansion solution of Ethereum, has designed six standards for airdrop tokens, two of which are for early and active Optimism users, and four are for actively participating users on L1 Ethereum.
a. Early users and active users of Optimism.
Early adopters: Addresses bridged from L1 to Optimism before June 23, 2021, or using Optimism for a time span of more than 1 day.
Active Users: Optimism users who have made at least 1 transaction with the Optimism app within four different weeks.
b. Active Ethereum participants, including DAO members who voted or wrote at least one on-chain proposal, or at least two Snapshot (off-chain) proposals, whose address is on Multi-Sig and who executed at least 10 transactions , a Gitcoin donor, an Ethereum cross-chain bridge user who has used the cross-chain bridge and then traded once a month on Ethereum and twice a week on Optimism.
c. Overlap bonus: Addresses meet the "Optimism Early Adopter" criteria and match at least 4 criteria sets in total.
d. Global filtering: Sybil attacks, Snapshot robots, spam, exchanges, attackers and other addresses.
Compared with other airdrops, the Optimism airdrop model is characterized by giving higher airdrop weights to users who are active in four different weeks, and also airdrops to active governance participants and multi-signature wallet users of the Ethereum mainnet. In addition, Optimism also gives additional rewards to users who meet or exceed 4 conditions, ranging from 3,913 tokens to as many as 25,000 tokens, which can be described as quite generous. Online users will get more and more rewards in the airdrop.
