🚨 ALPHA ALERT 🚨
After having been a degen every night looking for new projects to ape some capital, I have received some of the best airdrops in the past few years, including:
$UNI, $ENS, $dYdX, $INCH, $SNX, $GFI, $ILV, $ICP, $NOTE, $INST
In this guide you can find a short list of some of the most important protocols that might do a 2022 airdrop. I have also included some actions of how to get them, but fist some context.
Airdrop is new a growth hacking technique that allows a protocol to attract (and retain) early users/evangelists into the ecosystem by promising a future reward. The projects instead of allocation a marketing budget, set up a share of future tokens that allows rewarding past users, decentralizing the product and attracting new people.
