What’s An Airdrop?

Chances are that if you have been invested or interested in the cryptocurrency market this past year, then you might have heard about ‘airdrops.’ An airdrop is a distribution tactic generally used by a project during its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) stage, where the company will give away a specified percentage of tokens for free. The requirements for participating in an airdrop differ depending on the project and can include holding a ‘parent coin’ like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH), registering know-your-customer (KYC) information, or performing some kind of social media tasks. This method gained popularity in the altcoin boom at the height of the 2017 bull run as a way for blockchain projects to advertise themselves and get the word out about their tokens and visions. Anyone looking to participate in an airdrop should take the time to research the project and team thoroughly, especially before giving them any information. Always exercise good judgment and common sense when participating in an airdrop and never give out any information that you consider private or are not comfortable sharing. Stellar
