Taking the four textbook-level airdrops as examples, how to "maintain an account" to get airdrops?

The story of "airdrop to get rich" has always been one of the most talked-about topics in the industry, and the "brush" of airdrops has been fighting wits and courage with the project party. On May 6th, the cross-chain bridge Hop Protocol officially launched the native token HOP, 8% of which will be airdropped to early related users. At the same time, it said that users who report more than 20 addresses related to Sybil attackers will have the opportunity to get HOP rewards, which will be a lot for a while. The professional "Lu Mao" joked on the Internet, "I'm going to report myself."

TLDR

• Become an early participant in the project, such as application protocols such as ENS, the earlier you participate in the airdrop, the greater the reward;

• Experience as many products as possible, such as DeFi products, multiple experiences and interactions will help increase transaction volume, and setting reverse analysis in ENS is also one of the best performances for experiencing products, and the airdrop rewards are directly doubled;

• For the blockchain network, actively participate in the entire ecological activities, such as using more ecological Dapps, participating in chain governance voting, etc., such as accumulative rewards and superimposed rewards in the Optimism airdrop;

dydx: distributed according to levels, the higher the level of trading volume, the more rewards

Another eye-catching airdrop project is the perpetual contract protocol dydx. Compared with Uniswap, dydx’s airdrop rewards are more biased towards users who contribute to the transaction volume of the protocol. The greater the contribution, the more rewards. The specific rules are as follows:

• If you have made a deposit but have not participated in the transaction, each user can get an airdrop reward of 310.75 tokens;

• The transaction volume is between US$1 and US$10,000, and each user can get 1163.51 airdrops of tokens;

• The transaction volume is between US$10,000 and US$100,000, and each user can get 4349.63 token airdrops;

• The transaction volume is between US$100,000 and US$1 million, and each user can get 6413.91 airdrops of tokens;

• With a transaction volume above $1 million, each user can get 9529.86 token airdrops.

Through comparison, it is found that the rewards obtained by each user in the fifth tier are about 30 times that of the first tier, and about 8 times that of the second tier, which indirectly increases the rewards for "real" users. Of course, it does not rule out special swiping transactions amount of users. For example, if you often use dydx products and the transaction volume reaches more than 100,000 US dollars, even if you only have one address, you can get 6413.91 tokens. On the contrary, if you are a "wool party", you have established 20 accounts, assuming only deposits If you don't trade, then the reward for 20 accounts is equivalent to the reward for the above 1 account.

Therefore, it can be seen from the airdrop rewards of dydx that in order to obtain more airdrop rewards, in addition to creating multiple addresses, it is more important to interact with the product, experience the functions of the product, and at the same time participate as deeply as possible to improve the transaction quantity.

ENS: The longer the domain name is held, the higher the reward, and the reward for domain name reverse resolution is doubled

Compared with Uniswap and dydx, the airdrop rules of Ethereum Name Service (ENS) have improved the rewards for long-term users of the project. The specific airdrop rules are as follows:

• The airdrop will be allocated to the registration address of the ".eth" second-level domain name that has been registered or is currently valid;

• The airdrop weight is mainly calculated according to the number of accounts rather than domain names;

• The reward formula is the coefficient 0.27 multiplied by the number of days holding at least one ENS domain name, plus the coefficient 0.067 multiplied by the number of days until the domain name expires;

• If the account additionally sets reverse resolution, then multiply the above result by a factor of 2.

The ENS airdrop rules are biased towards loyal users of the reward program. The first choice is that normal users will only buy the domain names they like, and the number is limited. On the contrary, speculators will buy many domain names, and the weight will be calculated according to the account, which will reduce the airdrop rewards of speculators to a certain extent. Secondly, for early users, the domain name may expire, but they will also receive airdrop rewards. At the same time, the coefficient is multiplied by 0.27 by the number of days of holding at least one ENS domain name, which is especially beneficial to long-term loyal users.

Looking at the coefficient 0.067 multiplied by the number of days until the domain name expires, not only the coefficient is about 1/4 of the former, but also the time for speculators to register the domain name is often shorter, so the final airdrop reward is also limited. Finally, for those users who have set up reverse analysis, that is, actually used ENS products instead of just registering, the number of rewards will be doubled, which further increases the rewards for loyal users.

Optimism: Increase the airdrop rewards for ecologically active users and give back to active participants in the Ethereum ecosystem

After Optimism announced the issuance of tokens, there was speculation in the circle about othergovernanceParticipants: have participated in voting or written at least one on-chain proposal, or at least two off-chain proposals (Snapshot), each address can get 254.45 airdrop tokens;

4) Multi-signer: the current signer of Multi-Sig, and has executed at least 10 transactions, and each address can get 1114.23 airdrop tokens;

5) Gitcoin Donors: Gitcoin made on-chain donations, this includes any donations, and each address can get 520.34 airdrop tokens;

6) Loyal users of Ethereum: the address is bridged to another chain, but still conduct transactions on the Dapp of Ethereum every month, with an average transaction frequency of at least 2 times a week, select the top 60% who meet the conditions, each The address can get 383.27 airdrop tokens.

In addition to the accumulative airdrop rewards for each condition, Optimism also launched an additional "superimposed reward", that is, under the premise of satisfying ordinary Optimism users, if the met conditions reach 4 or more, they can get superimposed rewards , the more conditions are met, the more stacked rewards you will get (5 more than 4).

Similar to ENS, under Optimism's airdrop rules, the airdrop rewards that a long-term loyal user can obtain are likely to be greater than multiple "wool party" accounts. Even if the two terms of multi-signature and Gitcoin donors are discarded, as a long-term Optimism user, it is still possible to obtain superimposed rewards of 4 conditions. In the end, the accumulated rewards of different conditions will be far better than multiple accounts that only trade a few The second "Wool Party" account, after all, many "Wool Party" accounts only meet the first condition.

summary

summary

From the early DeFi projects to the ENS application protocol, and finally to the recent Chain Optimism, it can be found that the airdrop rules are becoming more and more complicated, and they are constantly tilting toward loyal long-term users. This trend is expected to intensify. According to the airdrop rules of Optimism and ENS, it can be seen that the final result of "raising" an account is no worse than that of multiple "small accounts". Perhaps the airdrop era of "accounts lie in the quality rather than the number" will slowly kick off .
