EigenLayer’s airdrop is intricately tied to its restaking mechanism, which allows ETH holders to earn rewards by securing multiple networks beyond Ethereum. This innovation aims to increase the liquidity of ETH by creating additional staking opportunities while enhancing the security of various blockchain ecosystems. The relationship between the airdrop and restaking is a key strategy to boost ETH’s utility and reduce sell pressure on ETH, as stakers are incentivized to hold their assets rather than liquidate them. EigenLayer’s ability to integrate with Ethereum’s existing staking infrastructure while offering new revenue streams could lead to increased demand for ETH, thereby improving its liquidity and strengthening its role in the broader DeFi ecosystem.

2025’s airdrop landscape sees shrinking returns but sustained profitability for strategic players. Time costs have surged: the "multi-account" model is obsolete, replaced by operations—users spend 5-10 hours weekly on genuine interactions (DeFi swaps, NFT mints) to avoid bans. Return rates vary: casual users earn $300-$800 per project, while professional "airdropologists" net $2k-$5k on high-potential Layer 1s. Gas fees remain a key cost—optimize by using testnets or low-fee chains (e.g., Polygon) for initial engagement. The tradeoff is clear: higher time investment filters out amateurs, leaving better rewards for those who master strategy and automation tools.
