When new blockchain and cryptocurrency projects start, they often give away their coins or tokens to their community members for free. These token giveaways are called crypto airdrops, and they are an effective marketing strategy for blockchain startups.

The process of receiving these airdrops may sometimes be as simple as holding Bitcoin and waiting for the free crypto to arrive in your wallet. Examples of these "holder airdrops" are Byteball, Stellar, and OmiseGo.

In general, the​ ​format​ ​of​ ​these free cryptocurrencies​ ​usually looks like this — ​at​ ​a​ ​pre-announced​ ​time​ ​the​ ​project​ ​behind the​ ​event​ ​will​ ​take​ ​a​ ​”snapshot” ​of​ ​the​ ​blockchain,​ ​and​ ​anyone​ ​holding​ ​Ether or Bitcoin​ ​at​ ​that​ ​point​ ​will​ ​receive​ ​a certain number​ ​of​ ​free​ ​tokens.​ Additionally, this can also be done on other blockchains, but Ethereum and Bitcoin are the most used for this airdrop format.

Another very common type of crypto airdrops require users to complete a few simple social media task. These projects use an airdrop as a viral marketing.

Lastly, we have the candy giveaway —  the Chinese synonym for airdrop.

Many cryptocurrency airdrops have a referral system in place, which allows you to earn more tokens. Read our tips & tricks on how to optimize your income with referral airdrops.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique and non-interchangeable tokens that represent real or virtual assets on the blockchain. NFTs can be anything from digital collectibles to artwork as well as tokenized memes and small audio/video clips. NFTs built on Ethereum follow different token standards from fungible tokens, namely ERC-721 and ERC-1155. 

Since 2021, we see a rise of NFT airdrops that you can collect for free.

This is the process of getting NFTs in your wallet when a platform decides to deposit cryptos for free. Airdrops are a great way for promoting newly minted NFTs and their associated platforms. It increases the token’s visibility and incentivizes the onboarding of new users. Airdrop Alerts routinely updates its users about the latest NFT Airdrops. 

Yes, NFTs are extremely valuable in the blockchain-cryptocurrency domain. There are some digital artworks and collectibles that are selling for millions of dollars. In fact, prestigious auction houses like Christie’s and Sotheby’s are hosting NFT sales, thereby making them mainstream. Several platforms are allowing the NFT’s value to be leveraged in the financial market to multiply yields. 

You can create your own NFT if you’re an artist. Have a look here to get started.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) refers to the entire gamut of processes and transactions of financial products on the blockchain. This open-source, peer-to-peer transaction system rules out the necessity of any centralized intermediaries like banks. It leverages something called Smart Contracts, which are computer programs, to run their operations without much human intervention.   

And ofcourse, there are also DeFi airdrops to be found on Airdrop Alert.

Decentralized Exchanges are built for the transaction and trading of cryptocurrencies between the parties involved without any central intermediaries. DEX solves the issues that Centralized Exchanges suffer from. DEX offers more security for its assets as well as reduces the risk of transaction history manipulation. Since data is stored immutably on a distributed ledger instead of a centralized server, users remain better protected

By doing an airdrop or bounty, crypto projects create awareness about their project and token. It is a seal of trust between the community and the project. The users who receive an airdrop will certainly have a direct connection with the project and will be a dedicated member of their community. 

Furthermore, the airdrop winners may bring more people to the project that otherwise would not have heard about it.

Blockchain and crypto projects are concerned about upcoming regulations for cryptocurrencies, even the airdropped coins. Therefore, we see a rise in airdrops and bounties that require passing KYC.

Exclusive airdrops are a special category of airdrops for which we take the responsibility of registration, distribution, and promotions. These airdrops are only available for AirdropAlert.com subscribers.

If you are a crypto project that wants to do an Exclusive Airdrop with us, you can find more information here.

Many coins that do giveaways are not yet listed on any crypto exchange. In such a case, you can check out our exchange page to see where you can best sell your crypto airdrops and bounties. Or you can check out DeFi exchanges like Uniswap or PancakeSwap, to offer your tokens for sale to other users.

We suggest you make an account at all exchanges we listed so you can easily sell and receive your crypto coins.

But here’s a fun thing that may prevent you from selling your airdropped tokens: many projects, such as NEM, DECRED, XRP, that did airdrops are today among the top 40 coins. So, you don't need to immediately sell your free crypto as there is nothing wrong with being a HODLer.

The safest way to store your cryptocurrency is to store them in a hardware wallet. These wallets store your coins offline and protect them from being stolen in the event of a hack. 

There are several hardware wallets available. We would advise you to read our blog on the best cold storage wallets.

However, not all cryptos are supported in hardware wallets. So, the alternative is to store your coins in wallets where you control your private key. You don't want your free crypto to be stolen! 

You can read our 6 (and a half) tips on online security here.

To avoid scams we have a few general rules:

1. Never share your private keys

2. Use 2 Factor Authentication on your wallets

3. Be careful while downloading wallets of smaller projects and use a Virtual machine.

4. Be cautious with links redirecting to wallets

5. Don’t use your main email address to apply for airdrops

6. Stay away from re-using your passwords

7. Do not send small amounts of crypto to receive your airdrop

If you are looking to store your coins on an online wallet, we have written several beginner’s guides to set up Ethereum, Bitcoin, Litecoin & Ripple wallets.

Be crypto smart and safely store the free crypto you collect.
