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 Time costs have surged: the "multi-account" model is obsolete, replaced by operations—users spend 5-10 hours weekly on genuine interactions (DeFi swaps, NFT mints) to avoid bans.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.
