These were the first batch of ~10 airdrops to Farcaster users (~$110K so far). Early on as projects target potential new high quality users, they're factoring in how likely is this user to convert (not a retro airdrop) Sometimes projects choose to exclude users if there have been *multiple* prior airdrop sales in the past (not if you just sold 1). Put yourself in their shoes if a user immediately sold multiple prior airdrops, they're prob less likely to convert and you can give to another user that is higher likelihood That said, you won't be permabanned forever for selling multiple as this is building some data early on and there will be factors that can help outweigh (post high quality content, use mini apps, do onchain txns) Team has been slammed but we'll have more infra support on airdrops later. On list is def to show more token info (that's why I manually post info for now since not built in) As Farcaster grows and becomes more valuable to target, airdrop amounts will naturally be larger too

It's been ~10 (depends if you count Monad testnet or not) since we started this airdrop offer program ($110K so far). Have 5 more lined up already (~$40K total) My $90K post was at the time I said that's what is coming up

Sending unsolicited money to users and expecting them not to spend it is kinda nuts

On the flip side it's also fair for some projects to want to prioritize users that aren't selling

Prices after airdrops trend downwards. Penalizing for selling doesn’t seem to take into account the tax burden of claiming (larger) airdrops

These aren't usually token generation event airdrops so def can't say trending downwards IMO These are like $7 opt in airdrops so far. Each project chooses to exclude sellers or not, some don't want to factor in and that's already happened

I understand the attempt to flip the script from participation solely prior -> supporting after an airdrop, but I cant think of a major example where that has panned out well for users. The second jupiter airdrop is not looking good for those that held till now.

Hi Linda, I really want to know why I wasn't included in the airdrop these two days. Because I have been active for more than a year and every day. I have real friends. I completed all 6/6 tasks. I have a label two. I had transactions every day. I get weekly rewards on the leaderboard every week. My Warplet account balance is good. And everything is better than many who are included but not me! Although I was included before, I even got Monad and Hunt. But not these two days! Including people who even have a neynar below 0.2 and are spam and don't even have ten good posts and likes. Why im not eligible 🥲 idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did you sell multiple prior airdrops? I didn't check yours but that might be the reason (each project has their own criteria)

I send them to another wallet or swapped them, yes thanks for explaining why. My mind is easier now. Could this be the reason again? Can I put them back on Warplate now?

I know this might be a high bar, but I’d encourage asking the question: “why might someone who gets airdropped tokens actually end up buying more tokens to use on your chain?” I think the monad testnet tokens and celo airdrop were the best I’d seen so far. Airdropping testnet tokens seems to be a real use case if you’re looking to be early to test there. Celo I at least learned what mini apps I could use my tokens for, but had a tough time justifying I’d do be doing more of the same things on Celo. Buy stuff app was interesting, but there should really be something I can buy with $5

well this requirement wasn’t really clear! I did try and use every mini app that gave me an airdrop but after a while i sold them as it was not something that i would use. not getting last 2 airdrops hurt coz i been active daily, used mini aps, did transactions in my Warplet and have 200$ balance. A bit not fair, even though i understand their point. still user should be free to do whatever they choose with the airdrop they receive.

Airdrops are icing on the cake- grateful projects even consider doing this.

One thing I know about airdrop is not everyone will get it, it’s a free gift, and we don’t get to win everyday. We get some and we don’t get some

I haven't qualified apart from the monad testnet drop. What exactly are the criteria?
