When staking or LP is required, projects usually try to detect “real commitment” using duration and continuity. They may count the number of epochs staked, the percentage of tokens delegated, or the proportion of LP positions maintained through volatility. Some even exclude wallets that add and remove liquidity within short windows. Look for details like minimum position size, supported pools, and whether governance tokens or native assets are required. Lockdrop mechanics—where you lock tokens for a period to earn points—are common. Before participating, simulate outcomes: estimate potential airdrop value by benchmarking similar programs, then subtract fees, potential impermanent loss, and the chance of non-transferable or vested tokens. If net expected value isn’t compelling, skip.
