The standard for DeFi aggregator and yield optimizer airdrops involves depositing assets into their vaults, using their auto-compounding features across multiple chains, routing swaps through their aggregator to generate fee revenue for the protocol, and staking any LP tokens received from their strategies.

During periods of extreme network congestion, Bitcoin transaction fees can spike dramatically, sometimes accounting for a substantial portion of the block reward. A notable example was a block in May 2025 where fees reached 1.11538576 BTC (over $123k), representing 26.3% of the block reward, though this was likely an anomaly. More typically, even in congestion, fees rarely exceed a few percent of the block reward for extended periods. As of June 2025, fees had fallen to just 0.96% of the block reward, a multi-year low, indicating low on-chain demand despite high BTC prices.

Compared to the project's private sale price and airdrop token cost, regular users gain a cost advantage via airdrops. Private sale prices may be 30%-50% lower than the expected listing price, but require large capital and qualification. Airdrops have almost zero cost (only time/effort for tasks). Thus, airdropped tokens let users hold assets at a lower cost than private sale participants, with higher potential returns if prices rise.
