What are airdrops & bounties?

Many crypto companies distribute free coins to their communities to increase their project’s visibility, increase the circulating supply and stimulate trade. These free distributions are commonly known as airdrops.

Most of the airdrops that we present are “bounty” drops, which will reward you with tokens for completing simple social media tasks (Joining their Telegram group, reposting on Twitter, etc.). This offering creates a win-win scenario because the company gets free marketing, and you get free crypto. Other airdrops will reward you for simply holding a specific coin without expectation of any reciprocal consideration.

Why are crypto projects and ICOs giving away coins for free?

Cryptocurrencies only hold value because people believe in them and recognize their worth. The more people who own a cryptocurrency, the more likely it is to become widely adopted and rise in value. Airdrops are effective due to the endowment effect, a phenomenon in which people will ascribe value to things merely because they own them.

By conducting a bounty airdrop, a DeFi startup can create mass awareness about their project, token sale or pre-ICO with minimal cost to them. Social media campaigns allow the project to become visible to people who would otherwise never recognize its existence. Airdrops can also create a vast network of users who are motivated to push a project’s success by doing things together like winning community votings for exchange listings.

By rewarding token owners with free airdrops, projects can also encourage users to hold (HODL) their coin for the long-term. This can effectively lower the selling pressure of the coin. Holder airdrops have been a popular tactic amongst some of the most successful crypto projects, like NXT, WAVES, Bitcore and more.

How do I claim airdrops?

The claim process differs from project to project. Some “holder drops” will drop tokens automatically into the wallets of users who own a specific coin. Other projects are snapshot based and can only be claimed by users who held the required token during the snapshot, which is a record of token holders taken at a specific time/block.

Holder Airdrops

An example of a holder airdrop is Byteball, which was initially distributed to Bitcoin holders. They also airdropped a monthly amount of Bytes into the wallets of Byteball holders proportional to the amount of BTC/GBYTE that they held during the drop. These types of drops can create excitement which often results in significant price action for the particular coin.

Participants with strong hands were able to generate notable wealth by merely holding these airdropped coins through their volatile growth. We highly recommend to hodl your airdrops as long as possible. There is no doubt that the majority of crypto projects out there are worthless, and they will fall to zero, but we bring you projects in which we see future potential. Some of these projects will be very successful, and if you decide to hold onto their tokens, your future self will be thankful. Check out our holder airdrops section to find out about the latest airdrops for holders of specific coins.

Social Media Airdrops and Bounties

For taking part in bounty airdrops, you will likely need active accounts on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram. You should also have a Bitcointalk.org account, as some drops require participants to post proof of ownership in the forum threads. Most bounty drops will require you to join a Telegram group and share posts on Facebook and Twitter. After completing the steps to reserve rewards, you will often need to fill out a form with your username and wallet address.

What are hard forks?

A hard fork is when a cryptocurrency splits into two separate currencies. The first hard fork was Bitcoin Cash which was split from Bitcoin at block #478,558 on August 1st, 2017. Bitcoin forks and the forking of other chains became popular since then. We list hard forks for mostly informative purposes, but also because we see them as dividends and similar to an airdrop. We are not able to verify the safety or legitimacy of hard forks, so always be cautious and make sure to claim forks with the private key of an empty wallet.

How can I participate in crypto airdrops?

For most airdrops, it is necessary to have different social media accounts and at least an ethereum wallet to participate in airdrops. The most common wallet, which is needed for airdrops, is for Ethereum tokens.

In addition, you need active Social Media Accounts. Most of the airdrops require Telegram, Twitter, and Facebook tasks – like joining a channel or liking and retweeting a certain post. If you have participated, never leave any channel before you’ve received your rewards. Otherwise, this can lead to disqualification.

When do I get my crypto?

Usually, it takes 3-6 months until you get your tokens. We always try to give you an exact date as early as possible. It mostly takes a long time because it takes place before the token generation event.

If you do airdrops that are not on our website, you should regularly check your wallet and look out for announcements. If you join the airdrops on AirdropBob, we will take over the big part of the work and actively inform you about the airdrops you’ve participated in. All you have to do is to mark your airdrops as “favorite.” So no more observing for you! We see this as one of our unique services – an excellent advantage for you.

Don’t get scammed!

There are many people out there who want to scam and betray you. The most important rule is that you never give your account data (private key, password) to anyone – The only information you can share without risk is your wallets’ public keys!

If you follow these rules, you should be on the safe side:

Do not share your private key!

Never send money or tokens for an airdrop.

Create a new Ethereum wallet.

Use different passwords.

Be careful with KYC airdrops.

Only do airdrops from trusted sites!

Even though we try to list only legitimate and genuine airdrops, always keep in mind that mistakes can happen. We are not responsible for any problems or losses that may occur due to scams or inaccurate information.
