1️⃣/ Introduction to Airdrop Farming 🌱

An Airdrop is where a project or protocol distributes tokens to early users for free. 

These assets, which can vary in value, are usually native to the project.

These can sometimes be extremely lucrative like ENS which was worth $40k💰

Once you have picked a potential airdrop you have to bridge to the correct chain. If you don't know how, there are many guides on this online.

Then perform transactions on the chain or interact with apps. There can be various requirements to qualify.

Usually, the airdrop requirements are not announced in advance, and often airdrops don't get announced at all.

They always involve interacting with a protocol or performing transactions on the blockchain.

Some things that are often required/gain you extra points:

- Interacting multiple days in a row (just swap currency back and forth)

- Leaving a certain amount on the chain

- Having some volume (easy to do, swapping 50$ 20 times is 1000$)

- Have txs in different months

6️⃣/Final thoughts 💭

I personally received over $30k in airdrops from 2021 to 2024. And I wasn't even intentionally farming.

Start TODAY. Don't postpone.

5️⃣/ Risk Management in Airdrop Farming☢️

Avoid using your main wallet for airdrops to protect yourself in case accidentally signing a malicious contract. 

Also, consider the potential risks of staking cryptocurrency in protocols that could be exploited​. Especially new ones

4️⃣/ Multiple Wallets 

Using multiple wallets can increase your chances of receiving more airdrops. 

But be careful to hide that they're owned by the same person to avoid disqualification.

Don't fund them from another wallet. Fund them with multiple separate CEX withdrawals
