The project is increasingly allocating less for airdrops - How can farmers adapt?
If previously a 10% pool for airdrops was the standard for many projects, currently that portion is no more than 5%. Notable examples include:
• Monad: 3.3%
• Fogo: 1.5%
• Sentient: 4%
• Zama: 2%
• ETHGas: lock 4 years
However, there are still a few projects that airdrop large quantities or have allocations over 10%:
• Aster
• Seeker
• Lighter
• Hyperliquid
• Trump Game
However, finding the right opportunities like the above is very difficult, along with a bit of luck, and these projects often require a long time or very strict criteria, resulting in a small number of farmers.
For example, Perp Dex has an airdrop pool of 20 to 25%. But it requires a lot of money, and participants must choose correctly and enter early.
As for Seeker or Trump, for some reason, they outright refuse Vietnamese members. And the inevitable consequence is that the airdrop is very good.
Moreover, the emergence of Binance Alpha, Yap, InfoFi further shrinks the airdrop pool for Testnet participants. Money flows entirely into the pockets of KOLs and high-level farmers.
So how can we adapt to the current situation:
• The most obvious criterion: The more popular the opportunity, the less appealing it is, especially avoid opportunities that Vietnamese members flock to, as easy tasks often lack selectivity. Thus, airdrops will be hard to yield good results.
• During a sluggish market, with fewer farmers, many good opportunities appear. The pool remains the same, but with fewer participants, the airdrops will become larger.
• InfoFi is no longer available, and Binance Alpha is also gradually cooling down. I believe the airdrop pool will gradually return to the participants, but it will take time.
• Choose to farm projects based on your own criteria, focusing on what you believe is right.
• Be patient with the market + lucky prayers to the ancestors.
