Getting rich by airdrop has really become a reality this year. Uniswap (UNI) gave away an iPhone 12; Meme (MEME) gave away a suite; Tokenlon (LON) gave away a luxurious dinner; The Graph (GRT) curator event gave away a suite; this series of airdrops Those who earn more earn tens of millions, and those who earn less earn about 10,000 yuan, which really stimulates the nerves of many people in the currency circle.
This series of airdrops are the airdrops of DeFi projects, the airdrops of governance tokens, and the decentralization of the rights and interests of the platform to token holders, which is indeed in line with the characteristics of blockchain decentralization. The continued popularity of DeFi has indeed made these governance tokens very valuable.
Recently, DeFi airdrops are really popular. Many people have compiled a list of projects that are most likely to be airdropped. There are many projects in the list. Some people have compiled as many as 100 projects. These projects are indeed very valuable. It is also very likely that token airdrops will be carried out, but in fact, the price you get for airdrops will be relatively high.
We also see that many projects are conducting airdrops. You only need to fill in an address and invite people. The airdrop of this kind of project is more likely to be fake. Like the Ontology boom back then, you only need an email address to get an airdrop. Such a simple airdrop may really never happen again.
The current airdrop requires a lot of cost, and as the price of ETH becomes more and more expensive, the popularity of short positions is getting higher and higher, and the cost is still increasing. A basic condition of the current airdrop may be that you must be a DeFi participant. You need to learn to surf the Internet scientifically, you need to understand the situation of the project, you need to analyze the project and participate in the project, and you also need to learn how to participate in governance.
We see that the first choice for project airdrops must be the early participants and early contributors of the project. The other choice is the senior participants in the currency circle. This standard may be different for each project. It may be based on those who have participated in well-known DeFi projects. Governance, or participation in liquidity pool mining, etc. as a standard.
The purpose of these measures is to find accurate users, to find those who really know how to use the product. This is actually the same as in the era of big data, where the platform will make portraits of users and accurately deliver advertisements to users in need.
But now after the DeFi airdrop became popular, more and more wool parties have joined in. We also know that after many projects are exposed to be airdropped, the network will be congested all of a sudden, and the transaction fee will soar. For the airdrop project, a set of operations will pass 200. In fact, the high handling fee is also a means to block wool parties. Of course, we will see that the airdrops in the future may have more stringent conditions to screen out accurate users.
Airdrops are actually constantly evolving, and this evolution is constantly evolving with the currency circle. The increase in the airdrop threshold is also because more people have participated in this industry. Airdrops need to be truly airdropped to those who contribute and those who will contribute in the future. This increase in threshold and the evolution of airdrops are necessary for the currency circle and are a positive direction.
