A direct airdrop distributes tokens directly to user wallets based on a snapshot of past activity, often unexpectedly. An airdrop points system is a transparent, ongoing campaign where users accumulate points for specific actions (e.g., trading, providing liquidity). These points are later converted into a token allocation at a predetermined rate. Points systems create anticipation and allow users to actively work towards a larger reward, whereas direct airdrops are typically retroactive rewards.
