In this episode, we talk about one of the most familiar — and most misunderstood — mechanics in crypto: the airdrop.

We explore the history of airdrops in and outside crypto, the challenges of incentive design, and learnings from airdrops to date.

We also answer questions like how do you avoid Sybil attacks and professional airdrop farming? Should your drop be big or small, one-time or ongoing? And what happens when AI agents enter the mix?

To break it all down, we’re joined by @eddy, @darenmatsuoka, @andyhall, & @hackr 

Whether you’re planning a token launch, looking for token rewards, or just curious why airdrops have become such a powerful mechanism in crypto — this episode is for you.
