AIRDROPs FAQ
What is an airdrop?
Airdrops are a type of cryptocurrency distribution where a company or developer sends a certain amount of tokens or coins to a group of users, often as a promotional strategy or as a way to reward early adopters. Airdrops are usually decentralized, meaning they are not controlled by a single entity, and are often available to anyone who meets specific criteria.
Token distribution and requirements
Airdrops are a way for companies or developers to distribute tokens or coins to a specific group of users. The distribution can be done manually or automatically, and the amount of tokens received can vary depending on the airdrop.
Each airdrop has its own set of rules and requirements, such as a minimum balance, staking, or a referral link. Make sure to read and understand the rules before participating in an airdrop.
