Airdrop

An airdrop refers to the distribution of free tokens or coins to a large number of wallet addresses.

Typically, airdrops are used as a marketing strategy to promote a new project, reward loyal users, or decentralize token ownership.

How To Get Airdrops: Recipients might receive tokens for holding a particular cryptocurrency or for completing specific tasks, like following a project on social media or interacting with a decentralized application (dApp).

Airdrops aim to generate awareness and foster community engagement, giving users a stake in the success of the project.
