Airdrop

Free crypto sent to your wallet as a reward for showing up early or interacting with a project. That might mean using an app, staking tokens, swapping assets, or bridging funds before a specific date.

Projects use airdrops to thank users for their support, attract attention, or kickstart a new token launch. It’s a way to reward real activity, not just hype. No forms, no sign-ups. If you did the work, you might wake up to a wallet surprise.
