What is an airdrop?

In simple terms, an airdrop is a project that distributes a certain amount of digital currency or tokens to a specific user group for free, and rewards the user group for completing the requirements specified by the project party

Classification of airdrops

Token or NFT airdrops: For example; COSMOS is to hold currency, pledge, and then wait for the arrival of snapshots, but the airdrop is not issued immediately, and it is necessary to wait for the project party to announce it.

In order to promote their own projects on various social accounts in the currency circle, the project party will set up a prize pool, set a time limit, and then set fixed tasks.

The interactive use of the main network and the use of the test network before the project goes online are currently more common. The main network airdrop only chooses to ambush projects that may issue airdrops, because the main network has been launched, and if airdrops are issued, they will be issued to customers who use it. 

The testnet is also a preliminary public beta for the project to attract users, just for users to experience it. It would be better if we can get feedback and opinions from customers in the early stage.

Essential basic tools for airdrops

1. Fingerprint browser

In the crypto industry, with the development of the concept of airdrops, multi-account operation has become common, that is, allowing a single user to simulate activities from dozens or even hundreds of accounts. These users are called "witches". The tool needed is the fingerprint browser.

For beginners, you can use the Maskfog browser, which allows you to create 20 browser environments for free. After using it with the device service, you can achieve unlimited environments. It is very convenient for multiple accounts to open team collaboration.

Of course, you also need to choose a proxy service. Among the main proxy services, you can choose: LunaProxy, PIA, Incogniton, etc. Maskfog also provides static residential and data center proxies. Using the built-in directly is the simplest and most economical way.

2. Social media promotion

Google account: Google Chrome is the browser that must be used for normal airdrops, so you must log in to your Google account, and all your actions will be recorded by the account

Twitter: Twitter is a social tool for getting the latest information and a necessary social software for completing airdrop conditions

Hootsuite:a powerful social media management tool that allows you to publish and manage content uniformly on multiple social media platforms. For airdrop promotions, Hootsuite can help you publish and track relevant information efficiently.

Buffer:another popular social media management tool that can help you plan and publish content, analyze social media performance, and collaborate with the team to ensure that the information transmission of airdrop activities is effective.

3. Tools

Chainlist: Network addition tool, used to add metamask wallets, various main networks and test networks.

Mycointool: GAS fee query tool, used to query real-time GAS fees, currently supports Ethereum, Horseshoe Chain, Binance Smart Chain and Huobi Chain queries.

Trello: A flexible project management tool that uses a kanban view to help teams manage tasks and project progress. In the airdrop campaign, Trello can help you assign tasks, track progress, and collaborate.

Asana: Another powerful project management tool that supports task assignment, timeline management, and team collaboration. It can help you better plan and execute airdrop campaigns.

Disperse: Batch transfer tool (supports multiple mainnets and belongs to a disperser, but I personally recommend not to disperse too many wallets with one wallet, at most one point 10)

4. Wallet

MetaMask: A widely used browser extension wallet that supports Ethereum and other ERC-20 compatible blockchains. It enables users to easily manage and receive airdrop tokens.

Trust Wallet: A mobile wallet that supports multiple cryptocurrencies and tokens, with high security and a user-friendly interface, is ideal for receiving and managing airdrop tokens.
