Staking a PoS chain's native token (e.g., ATOM, SOL, AVAX) is a foundational action for ecosystem airdrops. It demonstrates long-term commitment to the network's security and governance. Many airdrops specifically snapshot stakers, often requiring a minimum staking amount or duration. Some projects even exclude exchange-staked tokens, favoring direct delegation to validators. This action consistently places your wallet in a high-priority eligibility tier, as it identifies you as a core network participant rather than a transient user.
