Airdrops help projects gain visibility, but their token’s long-term value depends on the project's fundamentals. Airdrops from strong, well-backed projects can retain value, while those from speculative projects may see their token price plummet once the initial excitement dies down.

Yield farming and liquidity mining involve providing liquidity to decentralized platforms in exchange for rewards, often in the form of additional tokens. Yield farming typically refers to using cryptocurrencies to earn interest or other rewards by lending them or adding them to liquidity pools. Liquidity mining, a specific type of yield farming, is when users supply liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and receive platform tokens in return. While these methods can offer high returns, they also come with significant risks: impermanent loss (when the value of pooled assets fluctuates), smart contract vulnerabilities (if the platform’s code is exploited), and rug pulls (where project developers withdraw liquidity). Additionally, yield farming rewards can be volatile, and the value of the tokens received might decrease, making the rewards not as lucrative as initially anticipated.

Volatility indicators like the VIX measure market uncertainty and fear, which can also apply to cryptocurrency markets. When volatility rises, it signals increased fear or risk, often leading to larger price swings. In crypto, this is amplified due to its inherently volatile nature. Monitoring crypto-specific volatility indicators, such as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, allows traders to gauge market sentiment and adjust their strategies. During times of high volatility, traders may reduce exposure or use more cautious approaches, while in calmer periods, they may pursue higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities.
