What could be the criteria for a $BASE airdrop? Get your tea, coffee, and snacks ready, let’s dive in!

I wanted to put together some points that I think @base might value. Keep in mind that these are just my own assumptions.

When thinking about airdrop criteria, there are two points Base always emphasizes: **Creators & Builders.**

In a possible airdrop, I believe these will be the two communities that Base will reward the most.

I actually wanted to write this post earlier, and funny enough, in the meantime Base CEO @jessepollak tweeted hints pointing in the same direction.

### **Who are the Creators?**

*   Content creators on X, Farcaster, Zora, and the Base App (@farcaster\_xyz & @zora). I think Base App will be especially important for the airdrop.
    
*   Music creators on Coop Records (@cooprecsmusic)
    
*   Memecoin and similar creators on Flaunch (@flaunchgg)
    
*   Writers on Mirror (@viamirror), Paragraph (@paragraph\_xyz), and Highlight (@Highlight\_xyz)
    
*   NFT creators on Opensea (@opensea)
    
*   Artists on Phi (@phi\_xyz)
    
*   Podcasters on Pods (@podsdotmedia)
    
*   …and more
    

### **Who are the Builders?**

*   Anyone developing or launching apps on Base
    
*   Devfolio hackathon participants
    
*   Encode program participants
    
*   Base Camp participants
    
*   ETHGlobal participants
    
*   Active users on Github
    
*   Farcaster miniapp creators
    
*   …and more
    

* * *

Now you might be saying: \*“But I’m not a developer, artist, or musician — what can I do?”\*There are still plenty of things you can try or spend time on.

For example, @TalentProtocol has released **Builder Score** and **Creator Score** platforms, which might be considered to measure these metrics.

*   Creator Score: [**https://www.creatorscore.app/leaderboard**](https://www.creatorscore.app/leaderboard)
    
*   Builder Score: [**https://app.talentprotocol.com/**](https://app.talentprotocol.com/)
    

Both of these track your activity across platforms like Zora, Farcaster, Github, etc., and reward you with points and badges.

Some examples:

*   Certain badges require you to make 10, 50, 100+ transactions on Base.
    
*   Staking $TALENT (100+, 1K+, 10K+, etc.). I staked 10k+.
    
*   Getting tips or mints on Farcaster and Zora.
    
*   Engaging regularly with other creators by tipping, swapping, and interacting.
    

Even giving out tips (e.g. via the Noice app or Degen token) could help your score, since Base values supporting other creators and builders.

* * *

Other things that may matter:

*   Getting roles on Guild: [**https://guild.xyz/base**](https://guild.xyz/base)
    
*   Boosting your Onchain Score on Base: [**www.base.org/name**](http://www.base.org/name)
    
*   Activity across the Superchain (Optimism, Unichain, Soneium, etc.)
    
*   Regular Farcaster usage (posts, swaps, miniapps, tips, Neynar score)
    
*   Being active on Zora, publishing NFTs or creator coins
    
*   Holding Base-native tokens ($TALENT, $NOICE, $BUIDL, etc.)
    
*   Participating in Stand With Crypto (@standwithcrypto)
    
*   Active use of Base App if you have access
    

* * *

To sum it up, here’s a quick checklist I believe could matter for a potential $BASE airdrop:

*   Onchain Score (aim for 100+)
    
*   Boost your Creator & Builder Scores
    
*   Grab as many Guild roles as you can
    
*   At least 1000+ transactions
    
*   Add liquidity, stake, lend/borrow
    
*   Hold Base-native tokens
    
*   Stake $TALENT, participate in $OP votes
    
*   Publish or interact with content on Zora, Mirror, Paragraph, Highlight, Flaunch, Phi, Coop Records, Pods
    
*   Be active on Farcaster (posts, tips, swaps, Neynar score, miniapps)
    
*   Deploy contracts (testnet + mainnet)
    
*   Participate across Superchain networks
    
*   Keep ETH, USDC, and cbBTC in your wallet
    
*   Join Stand With Crypto
