The way airdrops are distributed has a direct impact on the decentralization of token ownership. Broad and inclusive distributions help prevent concentration of tokens among a few whales, enhancing governance fairness and reducing systemic risks. For example, allocating rewards based on diverse activities like staking, liquidity provision, or community engagement ensures a more balanced spread. Conversely, poorly designed airdrops that favor bots, insiders, or a narrow user base undermine decentralization and credibility. Transparent criteria, anti-sybil mechanisms, and tiered reward models are essential for achieving fair outcomes. The degree of decentralization also influences investor confidence and regulatory perception, as widely held tokens are less susceptible to manipulation. Thus, thoughtful distribution design is critical for both technical resilience and community legitimacy.

Tokens with strong community support, decentralized liquidity, or broad utility often retain strength even under delisting threats. Examples include privacy tokens or controversial DeFi assets that still maintain active ecosystems outside centralized exchanges. Their resilience stems from deep integration in decentralized platforms, where usage persists regardless of centralized support. Traders view such tokens as antifragile, thriving in permissionless environments. While price volatility may spike around delisting events, sustained on-chain utility and committed holders help these assets maintain relevance and strength.

High interaction frequency helps if actions are meaningful and value-weighted—repeat LP participation, lending/borrowing activity, governance voting, and substantive contract calls outscore spammy micro-transactions. Effective scoring applies decay functions (older actions count less), normalizes by monetary value, and penalizes low-effort repetition. Combining frequency with diversity and recency yields the best predictor: a wallet that repeatedly provides liquidity, votes, and uses multiple protocol features typically outperforms a high-tx but low-value farm in allocations.
