One year ago today, a well-known project launched the S01 airdrop campaign. I directly earned $50,000 from that round.

To be honest, this airdrop was indeed more friendly to early participants and users with referral links, while ordinary followers ended up with only 2-4 digits in the airdrop, which is a bit awkward. Is it fair? Strictly speaking, there are indeed some unfair aspects. But from another perspective, this is the cost of zero-cost participation.

The project team also needs to consider how to incentivize true early supporters and promoters; it’s impossible to make everyone’s gains equal. The key is whether you seized the opportunity and did the homework to understand the ecosystem. When the next wave of airdrops arrives, these experiences are worth referencing.
