Many projects reward NFT stakers or holders with airdrops because these users demonstrate stronger commitment and alignment with the ecosystem. Staking signals long-term support and reduces speculation, making participants ideal candidates for rewards. Projects may also view NFT staking as a proxy for loyalty and community contribution. However, not all airdrops prioritize NFT stakers—some focus on liquidity provision, governance, or cross-chain activity instead. To assess likelihood, one should examine the project’s design: if NFTs play a core role in governance, membership, or protocol usage, stakers are more likely to qualify. Ultimately, NFT staking increases chances but does not guarantee eligibility, as distribution logic varies across ecosystems. Consistent ecosystem participation across multiple dimensions remains the safest approach.

The Fear & Greed Index is a useful sentiment gauge, combining volatility, social media, volume, and dominance data. It often aligns with short-term momentum, signaling overbought or oversold conditions. However, it can be misleading if interpreted in isolation, as extreme fear sometimes precedes rebounds and extreme greed often occurs before corrections. Long-term investors should use it alongside on-chain data, macro indicators, and liquidity metrics. Its accuracy is higher for identifying sentiment extremes rather than steady market trends.

Rapid L2 adoption can both dilute and enhance ETH value capture. On one hand, L2s shift many transactions off-chain, reducing direct fee burn on mainnet. On the other, thriving L2 ecosystems increase overall Ethereum demand (more users, assets, liquidity settling on mainnet), and rollup settlement fees plus data availability payments still feed ETH economic value. If L2 growth drives net user and asset expansion rather than cannibalizing existing activity, aggregate fee revenue and on-chain utility can rise, sustaining ETH’s value capture. The net effect depends on total activity expansion and the prevalence of rollup settlement economics.
