A lot of people say airdrops are dead but honestly, I don’t agree.
Airdrops don’t die, they just evolve.
Projects will always need users and early traction. That’s why we’ve seen cycles like Aptos → Sui → Grass → mini Telegram apps → InfoFi → and more. The mechanism changes, but the incentive model stays.
I still farm airdrops because:
\- They still give real money (even if not Aptos-level $3k/account anymore)
\- It’s basically free upside if you’re early
\- Low effort, decent reward
\- Slow/bearish periods create the best opportunities when others stop paying attention
I’m currently farming Mention, an AI visibility project.
Their Web2 competitor Profound raised $60M. Mention is building similar tech but for both Web2 + Web3:
\- They sell the product to Web2
\- Web3 contributors get incentives
\- Still early stage, which is why I think it’s worth trying
