Key Takeaways
1
Airdrop hunting is the strategy of interacting with protocols before token launches to qualify for free token distributions
2
Protocols reward early users with token allocations proportional to their on-chain activity
3
Uniswap's 2020 airdrop distributed 400 UNI (~$6,000) to each historical user
4
Sophisticated hunters use multiple wallets and volume strategies to maximize airdrop allocations
Practical Example
You bridge $5,000 to Arbitrum, swap tokens weekly on GMX, provide liquidity in Camelot, and mint an NFT on Treasure DAO. When Arbitrum launches its ARB token, you receive 4,000 ARB (~$6,000) based on your activity score.
