In recent months, I saw a lot of new airdrops, mostly on Telegram platform. A lot of them are harmless "tap to mine" games which can be trusted (in my personal opinion). Some of them were basically giving away tokens based on your accounts age (like Dogs).
I know when these airdrops are around, they make a hype. One of my friends sent me 15 invite links the other day (and honestly, I still haven't clicked on the links) and most of them are basically these mini games. But I also saw some airdrops asking people to pay them little amounts of TON or Tron, in order to put them in a better place in a leaderboard. It seems somehow suspicious. I just want to know what is the measure of a good airdrop? One of my bitcoiner friends once told me "consider every airdrop a scam until they're not". But I strongly believe that there must be some good measures for this issue as well.
What do you think?
I think you are referring to the latest hype of tap to earn. So your friends are sending you an invites so that they will increased their holdings and so it means they will get a lot from airdrop if that project chooses to do so. As far as making sure if it is real or legit or fake one, usually those fake ones are going to scam you and will ask you to deposit some money before airdropping. So if that is the case then do not give them any ETH or any crypto that they are asking.
Airdrop are supposed to be free, and you just have to give your crypto wallet as where they are going to airdrop. And once the date has been set, you just have to wait for it and check your wallet if you are going to received as some projects have their eligibility.
