What Is a Cryptocurrency Airdrop?

A cryptocurrency airdrop is a marketing strategy that involves sending coins or tokens to wallet addresses. Small amounts of the new virtual currency are sent to the wallets of active members of the blockchain community for free or in return for a small service, such as retweeting a post sent by the company issuing the currency. The ultimate goal of a crypto airdrop is to promote awareness and circulation of a new token or coin.

New to airdrop? No worries! We got you cover!

Let’s start:

Mission 1: Our goal is to leave transactions traced on the blockchain network

Recommended transaction > 25

As we can see from the data shown

https://dune.com/stace/layerzero-users

There are 397,000+ user wallet addresses that did > 5 transactions, which means if you just did 5 transactions, the chances of getting airdrop are almost impossible.

You can track your total transaction here:

Recommended total amount of transactions> 1000 USDC/USDT ( Chill! You’re not spending $1k, you will just need to spend < $10 for transaction Gas fee only!)

So, we going to do all these transactions at Stargate.finance

https://stargate.finance/

Our plan is to use cross-chain to send our funds to a different network, we will start from Arbitrum network, for those who do not have funds in their wallet, you may send funds from CEX (Binance, Coinbase….) to top up your wallet

Tips: it’s advised to transfer a greater amount per transaction and leave some balance in every network. (not less than $10)

Leave a 10 minutes gap after completing a transaction

When crossing chain, you might need some small amount of tokens for Gas fee on each network, use this
