Map the landscape: feature parity, performance benchmarks, cost to replicate, and integration depth. Score moats across network effects (liquidity, protocols depending on it), data advantages, standards control, and brand/community lock-in. Analyze switching costs (migration friction, lost rewards) and multi-homing ease. Track win rates in head-to-head integrations and exchange listings. A strong position shows sustained share gains, partner exclusivities, and a roadmap that forces rivals to play catch-up rather than leapfrog.

Airdrops frequently confer governance capabilities, either directly via token voting or indirectly through reputation badges and delegation systems. Projects distribute governance tokens to bootstrap decentralized decision-making, incentivize participation, and align incentives between users and developers. However, immediate governance power can introduce risks if recipients are anonymous or speculative holders; thus, some teams use locked tokens, quorum thresholds, or reputation-weighted voting to temper abuse. Others issue separate governance-utility tokens or non-transferable reputation badges (SBTs) to decouple economic speculation from governance influence. When evaluating an airdrop, check whether voting rights come with vesting or identity requirements that ensure informed, accountable governance.
