Crypto Airdrops FAQ
What are cryptocurrency airdrops?
A token airdrop is a PR tool used in the cryptocurrency space to increase brand awareness of new blockchain projects. Tokens related to new projects are typically distributed as bounties for social media engagement.
Now that Facebook and Google banned ICO advertisement it is likely that companies launching an ICO will make more use of airdrops and bounties as a form of advertisment, at least for some time.
What is the difference between a fork and an airdrop?
From a user’s point of view, in an airdrop every participant who meets the conditions receives the advertised amount of free tokens. In a fork, every holder of another cryptocurrency receives the advertised amount of the forked cryptocurrency without doing anything. The holder may choose to not access the forked coins and ignore the fork completely, they will still be in the holder’s possession though.
More technically, airdropped tokens often live on the Neo or Ethereum blockchain, therefore the tokens can be stored in a Neo or Ethereum wallet respectively. In a fork, a new blockchain is created that has the same history as the legacy chain up to the time of the fork. That is why forked blockchains need their own wallets.
What are token giveaways?
In a token giveaway only a small number of participants is drawn and receives the free tokens. Contrary to that in an airdrop every participant receives the free tokens.
Are there some risks to participating in airdrops?
Airdrops and giveaways are not directly risky as long as the user does not need to install new software to access the tokens. Even so, by signing up and giving away their email address users are opening themselves to a range of phishing attacks and attempts to hack their cryptocurrency exchange and web wallet accounts.
Cryptocurrency forks are directly risky because to access the forked coins one needs to import private keys into a third party wallet. Therefore it is recommended to move the legacy chain coins out to a newly generated legacy wallet before importing the private keys to the forked chain’s software.
If it is required to install a specific client to receive airdropped tokens, it is safer to do it on a device that does not have the legacy chain’s wallet. It is only somewhat safe-ish to install the new wallet on a virtual machine.
