Airdrops will trend toward advertisements at the limit. Large airdrops are the result of poor targeting tools. Inefficient spend for the project (but very good if you're in the lucky few that got a big one). Reality is projects are trying to bootstrap usage and rentention. You want to maximize $ for usage. And retroactive doesn't really solve retention. Finally, if you increase the number of tokens by 1000x, there's less money to chase each airdrop. So market caps detached from fundamentals (and other low float high FDV gimmicks) will be far less common. Will take a while for this to shift, but expect the median airdrop to get smaller over time (with more people getting them).

this is all true for established tokens, not so much for TGEs

current airdrops are ads, but i think there's some new category that can emerge which farcaster can help with, but i don't have the words to describe it yet

The key is: How many people will use this product vs How much money will each person receive as an airdrop. lmk if you need any helping optimizing:) https://warpcast.com/luciano/0x8a99f80f

Sounds good in theory — but ignores how airdrops actually work in practice: – Criteria are rarely transparent. Insiders and team wallets know exactly what to farm, and they do. – Projects get thousands of sybil users to test every corner of their stack — free QA and hype. – Airdrops drive inflated valuations: low float, high FDV, perfect setup for a VC/team exit. – And by "giving" tokens instead of selling, they dodge the SEC. Just look at zkSync or Starknet — insider wallets farming top spots isn't a coincidence. This isn’t community marketing. It’s a stealthy, well-packaged exit strategy.

Advertisements I see So that explains why I wasn’t eligible for some?

Translation: Enjoy these big airdrops while they last, because in the future, we’re all getting $3 worth of tokens and a ‘thanks for playing’ cast or email 😂

Imo airdrops hit a sweet spot when they’re big enough to make you wanna stake, trade, and explore the ecosystem —but if they’re just a few bucks, it’s dust in the wind.

why can't I receive airdrops from other projects to my rainbow wallet? but only to warplet which is not supported in my region, why can't I link a phone number I keep getting an error? and I'm not the only one.

Airdrops are moving from free money to targeted rewards. The low float, high FDV era won’t last forever

That will really depend on the value created by the project and how the airdrop can contribute to enhancing that value. At the end of the day, we shouldn't forget that in many cases, we're giving away a part of the project's capital. Only a few projects truly have valuations strong enough for these airdrops to make real sense.
