Here is our best airdrop route, some of which let you farm over 25 potential airdrops in one go!

What is a crypto token airdrop?

A crypto token airdrop is a marketing strategy employed by companies in the cryptocurrency space to promote awareness and increase ownership of their project and token. It involves delivering (airdropping) tokens to users, usually as a reward for completing various tasks on their protocol. For example, following their social media, helping promote the project or testing the protocol. The token which is airdropped is usually the native token of the project, and it us usually airdropped to eligible users during its launch.
