Cryptocurrency Airdrops

An airdrop stands basically for free crypto tokens. Airdrops commonly occur before their token generation event. Projects use airdrops as a viral marketing method. They want to create awareness and want to attract new potential investors for their upcoming token. Mostly it's about sharing and liking posts on their social media channels. This will raise awareness and create a user base, which should positively impact the token value. 

There are different types of airdrops. First, we have holder airdrops. Crypto projects distribute tokens to their token holders. To benefit from it, you need to have a specific token at a specific time (a so-called snapshot). Examples of this type are Stellar, BitTorrent (still ongoing), and Flare.

Another type of airdrop is a hard fork. This type requires holding tokens on the Original Chain, which will get duplicated, and you will receive an equivalent amount of tokens. The most famous examples of that type are Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum Classic.

The most common type, which you will find on our website, are airdrops which you get for small social media tasks. These airdrops mostly take place before the token-generation event.

Last but not least, there is the possibility to get free tokens by simply using blockchain products early. An example of this is Uniswap and 1inch. Uniswap was one of the biggest airdrops in 2020. They gave away 400 UNI tokens, to each ETH wallet that has used their platform before the 1st of September in 2020. At their all-time high, this airdrop was worth around $18.000.

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. We have written a detailed guide on how you can create it. Based on our experience, 80% of all airdrops are done via the ethereum network.

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. If you want to have more information, read our blog article on participating successfully on airdrops.

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.

So far, there is no problem keeping your crypto tokens in your online wallet, as long as you never share your private key. If your portfolio will grow in value, we would recommend moving your cryptocurrencies to an hardware wallet. This way it is impossible to have your tokens stolen. If you want to have more information on this topic, we would recommend you to read our guidelines, how you can store your cryptocurrency safely.

More and more exchanges are popping out of the ground rapidly. Most of them are listing a load of different tokens. You can check the available markets and exchange listings on Coingecko. In the beginning, most of the free earned tokens are not listed on big exchanges, so in the first period, you can trade your airdrop token through decentralized exchanges like Uniswap.

For high-quality projects, the tokens will also appear on centralized exchanges. After registration, you need to perform a know-your-customer procedure. We recommend activating a Two-Factor Authentication to improve the security of your account.

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.
