Airdrops are most beneficial when they are part of a strategic plan to onboard new users into the protocol. Tokens that can be used for governance voting, staking, or accessing premium features encourage recipients to interact with the platform actively. Integration also reinforces learning, as users become familiar with the protocol’s mechanics while holding a meaningful asset. Conversely, poorly integrated airdrops may result in passive ownership, creating short-term price pressure as recipients sell tokens immediately. By embedding tokens in practical usage pathways, projects convert free distributions into long-term engagement and ecosystem growth, maximizing the value of the airdrop for both users and developers.
