The most valuable L1 airdrops historically came from networks that achieved broad adoption, deep liquidity, and multi-application ecosystems. High-value distributions typically reward early users, validator operators, or developers on chains that became infrastructure hubs for DeFi, NFTs, and rollups. Projects that later captured substantial TVL or integrated with major tooling created the conditions for outsized retroactive allocations. Value concentration also depended on tokenomics, initial allocation, and listing liquidity. While individual names vary across cycles, the common pattern is that L1s which solved real scalability or developer-experience pain points—and which amassed significant ecosystem activity—tended to produce the most lucrative retroactive airdrops for their early participants.
