The Way of DeFi

Airdrops are a perfect way to motivate early adopters to test new projects and gain some user momentum.

But because airdrops are so financially rewarding, they also attract speculators. The strategy is that some agreements are making their airdrops harder to obtain.

That's why you need a targeted airdrop strategy.

From the Hop, Optimism And as the Velodrome has shown recently, airdrops are very effective.

Several of Bankless's air-drop strategies have worked well in the past. If you were in the lead in our March drop forecast, you're doing well now.

Now that we have more alpha, you still have time to adjust your position accordingly.

Top 5 airdrops (and how to get them)

盘点近期值得关注的 5 个空投以及参与方式

Airdrops are standard practice for cryptocurrencies, and for good reason.

As a native of Web3, airdrop provides a way for users to take ownership by becoming early supporters of the products they use.

Imagine if Uber distributed equity on the day of its IPO to everyone who had ever driven or ridden in the company. This is a big win not only for investors, but also for the key people who made Uber successful: its users.

This is one of the things that Web3 makes possible. It unlocks the ability to assign any type of value to anyone using the platform or participating in the community.

We've already seen prototypes of this Web3 in practice - Uniswap, ENS, dYdX Both Optimism and Optimism provide good examples of airdrops.

We've seen countless success stories from them.

The Daily Ape Founder & have spent Mr. Lau tweeted that he had deposited $100 into Dydx Protocol and conducted a simulation. It got an airdrop and sold for about $54,000.

A simple deposit agreement resulted in $50,000, all thanks to Darren's use of cryptographic products.

These are stimulus checks for Web3.

Want to cash it? Here are a few things to look out for.

01 Opyn

Description of project

Opyn is a decentralized options protocol on Ethereum. The protocol has a range of products, the most notable being Squeeth - one in & NBSP; ETH A structured product that offers 2 times leverage.

Opyn also serves as the basis for other well-known DeFi protocols, such as the Ribbon and Key stakeholder; DAO, which they use to build option-based products.

Profit Strategy & NBSP;

Here are some strategies that might get you an airdrop:

- Strike or hold oTokens (call and put options)

- Provide liquidity for oToken & NBSP;

- Cast or hold Squeeth

- Provide fluidity on Squeeth

- Using Opyn (Ribbon & AMP; The Stake DAO) built product

02 Across Protocol

Description of project

Across Protocol is an emerging cross-chain bridge, built on UMA Optimistic predictor. The bridge currently supports Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism and & NBSP; Polygon And other major networks. Importantly, Risk Labs is taking a community-centric approach in which the community is responsible for assigning ownership of the agreement. This work has been going on for several months, so some new developments can be predicted in the near future.

The profit strategy

- Bridge Fund & NBSP;

- Provide liquidity

- Contributed to the design and development of AcrossDAO.

03 Metamask

Description of project

你可能对 Metamask 很熟悉，它是以太坊的领先浏览器钱包。长期以来，一直有传言称该钱包将推出 Token 。细节仍然非常稀少，而且 Metamask 团队也没有证实。也就是说，如果该钱包要推出 Token ，它的规模可能与 Uniswap 和 ENS 等大型空投的规模相同。

在任何可能的情况下使用 Metamask 绝对是值得的。很难预料（Metamask 是否会推出 Token 空投）！

Profit Strategy & NBSP;

- Use Metamask Swaps*

- Use the Ethereum app

- Become a true Ethereum user

Bankles resources

- Metamask 会空投 Token 吗？

- Metamask Swaps and 1 million monthly users

Note that Metamask Swaps have been the potential air drop mechanism that gets the most public attention. As a result, there is likely to be a wave of junk trading on the platform, which means eligibility could be slashed.

04 Zora

Description of project

Zora is a & NBSP; NFT Market protocol that allows unauthorized creation and trading of NFT. The team recently released version V3, which added incentives for builders, as well as the Zora DAO (Token Hint!) Modular architecture of control. Zora also released Zorbs at the end of 2021, an unauthorized identity system for Web3, and a way to consolidate your early support for the protocol.

考虑到 Zora DAO 的推出，Zora 很有可能推出一种 Token 来帮助促进对组织和协议的所有权。

Profit Strategy & NBSP;

- Buy NFTs on Zora

- Collect a Zorb

- Using Zora-based products (example: Catalog)

Description of project

第 2 层网络正处于增长拐点——这对空投来说是个好消息。Optimism 和 Hop Protocol 最近都推出了 Token ，而且势头正在增强。对于第 2 层网络用户而言，目前有很多机会。

许多桥和 L2 网络仍然没有 Token 。这里有几个：

- Across Protocol (Soft Acknowledge)

- Arbitrum (not confirmed)

- Aztec Protocol (not confirmed)

- Starkware (unconfirmed)

-zksync (confirmed)

This does not include any applications!

Profit Strategy & NBSP;

To this end, we will introduce Arbitrum, the leading Ethereum tier 2 solution by value locking.

The network recently launched Arbitrum Odyssey, a 2-month campaign highlighting key items on Arbitrum, where users who complete Odyssey each week can receive special NFTs.

So, you can deploy some money-making strategies:

- Use the application on Arbitrum

- Use the bridge to connect to Arbitrum

- Collect Arbitrum Odyssey NFT

- Use an application on Ethereum (see the idea of Optimism airdrops).

The future of airdrops

虽然空投是分配所有权的好方法，但不良行为者无处不在。协议正受到希望通过伪造活动来获取未来空投的机器人的攻击。人们也倾向于在空投后立即抛售 Token ，而不是承担治理责任。

The good news is that airdrop designs are getting better. Teams can look at the data to identify Sybil attacks and other bogus activities. They could put in place more protective mechanisms to deter short-term participants.

Here are some of the mechanics I'll be looking at in the near future:

Sybil Hunting:Hop Protocol 实现了一个新颖的 Sybil Hunting 程序，在数据集中识别出 Sybil 攻击的用户将获得攻击者的 Token 作为奖励。这个程序运行得很完美——希望这能成为未来的标准做法。Sybil 攻击者要小心了!

Multipliers:Optimism allows users to receive additional rewards for completing multiple actions in the airdrop method. This is a valuable addition because it rewards power users and identifies the most consistent core user base.

Use-to-unlock:Pioneered by dYdX, users must continue using the product to unlock their airdrop rewards.

Attribution Schedule:While it hasn't been widely adopted, it wouldn't be surprising if protocol teams started implementing attribution schedules on airdrops to reduce the influence of first-day sellers.

不可转让的 Token：Ribbon Finance、Gearbox 和 Element 都推出了不可转让的 Token。通过在发行时消除 Token 的流动性，它最大限度地减少了炒作和噪音，为形成一个核心的、长期的社区提供了一些喘息空间。

In short, it will be harder to get airdrops in the future.
