About Layer 1 airdrops
Layer 1 blockchains run their own consensus and security rather than settling on another chain. New ones usually build up to a token launch with testnets, incentivised programmes and early ecosystem apps.
Common routes in are running testnet nodes, completing testnet tasks, using early apps and taking part in community programmes. Where a chain has already launched its token, rewards tend to come from staking and from the apps built on it instead.
Testnet activity costs little, but it is never a guarantee. Keep a separate wallet for testnets and never enter a seed phrase on a faucet or claim page.
Why We Built Airdrop Meta
36 million HYPE tokens went unclaimed over a missed T&C signature. That is $1.2 billion lost to a single update, and one of many such cases.
One overlooked deadline should not cost you a life-changing airdrop. Crypto Twitter is loud; we cut through it so you do not have to.
