In 2025, the cost-benefit analysis of participating in airdrops will evolve as competition increases. Time investment versus potential returns will become crucial. As projects become more sophisticated, participants may need to engage more deeply to qualify for rewards, raising the time cost. However, potential returns can be substantial if the projects succeed. Investors should weigh the likelihood of receiving valuable tokens against the effort required to engage. Diversifying participation across multiple airdrops may dilute focus, making it essential to prioritize well-researched opportunities. A strategic approach will maximize efficiency and potential gains.
