Types of crypto airdrops
There are currently 3 main types of airdrops.
Standard/raffle airdrops
These airdrops generally require you to complete some sort of sign-up or registration to become eligible. This is the stereotypical setup many crypto enthusiasts think of when they hear the word “airdrop,” and it requires the least work on the behalf of the receiver out of all airdrop types. In other words, they’re the closest to the idea of “free money.”
In the event of overwhelming demand, projects will sometimes choose which wallets are eligible based on a raffle system.
Bounty airdrops
To become eligible for a bounty airdrop, you must complete a specified set of tasks. Some examples include promoting the cryptocurrency on social media, becoming a member of its online community, signing up for its newsletter, getting friends and family to sign up for its newsletter, or even providing software and coding support.
In simple terms, bounty airdrops are not truly free in that they require some form of labor in order to qualify.
Holder/exclusive airdrops
Crypto development teams will sometimes reward loyal community members by airdropping new tokens to wallets that hold their cryptocurrency. No action is required on the part of the receiver. They simply check their wallet one day to find that new tokens have been deposited.
While this may sound like easy money, keep in mind that those who receive these kinds of airdrops had to first have the conviction to buy the project’s cryptocurrency and hold it through any volatility.
