2. From "Farmer" to "Player" — Engaging with Communities
Instead of just chasing airdrops, try getting involved in project ecosystems:
Be active in communities. Engage in Discord and X (Twitter), give feedback, share insights, and promote projects. Active users often get whitelists or extra rewards.
Run tests/nodes. Some projects (like Celestia and EigenLayer) reward users for running testnet nodes. It requires some technical knowledge but is more profitable than basic interactions and offers learning opportunities.
Create content. Write guides, analyze projects, and share insights on X, YouTube, or Medium. Some projects recognize contributors and offer rewards. The infoFi model (like Kaito) has helped many people monetize their knowledge.
Pros: Learn valuable skills, potentially earn more, and build industry connections.
Cons: Time-consuming, may not generate immediate income. 0 reply

Why Slow Down Airdrop Farming?
Market downturn. In early 2025, the crypto market is weak. BTC fluctuates between $80,000 and $100,000. The hype around NFTs and new projects isn’t as strong as in 2021-2022. Airdrop returns are much lower. It used to be easy to get a 100x token from airdrops, but now making even a few dozen dollars is considered decent.
Projects fighting back. Many projects either rug pull, get hacked, or change their rules. RedStone and Elixir took back rewards, Nillion adjusted its airdrop distribution, and some projects keep delaying their TGE. The risks and costs of airdrop farming are increasing. Before, getting rugged was a minor risk. Now, things have changed.
At this point, it’s worth taking a step back and reconsidering whether this approach is still viable or if it’s time for a new strategy. 0 reply
