Beside these scam airdrops , there are some airdrops which gave me a lot of money, as I can say about the Maverick that was previously launched and give users some profit, and also Arbitrum Airdrop, and recently Optimism gives its users a massive airdrop. So, scammers are everywhere, we should take care along with doing any airdrop.
these were the best airdrops in recent times and many other projects really wanted to repeat their success but they didn't succeed. Over the past half a year, I can’t remember at least one interesting and profitable drop. So far, one disappointment even in those projects that seemed to generously reward their users.
Yes, ARB and Optimism provide airdrops that make their users happy with what they have tried to carry out the tasks given in each phase, I am also still hunting for airdrops to this day, and indeed there are lots of scam projects, if we are not good at finding potential projects it is very risky.
Moreover, nowadays airdrops need capital to participate in their airdrop events, so you have to be more careful in choosing projects.
BTW, did you take part in the airdrop event offered by the zkSync network developer? lots of people speculated that this event had crazier prizes, because there weren't that many who took part in this event.
Yes we definitely need some capital in terms of gas fees, trading volume, providing liquidity, LP farming, staking, minting NFTs and passports that most of these mainnet platforms are doing that are interacting with LayerZero, zkSync, Polygon zkEVM, Starknet, etc.
I myself have focused on a single wallet but with more activities in different chains. Of course, it's an airdrop wallet and not my main one where I have kept most of my stablecoins and other important assets.
I regretted not knowing about Arbitrum and Optimism earlier (especially Aptos and Blur) which they have made solid profit to the early supporters and users.
Retroactive drops are the thing right now that would potentially be giving us some future rewards.
