❓ Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start farming an upcoming airdrop?
Yesterday. Most protocols reward early users. If a token isn’t announced yet, you’re early.
How do I know if an upcoming airdrop is real?
No guarantees. Look for:
-
Reputable team (known founders, VC backing)
-
Working product (not just promises)
-
Active community (Discord, Twitter)
-
Mentioned by trusted sources
What’s the difference between “Critical” and “Watch” priority?
-
Critical: High confidence, token expected soon, start NOW
-
Watch: Speculative or far away, monitor but don’t invest heavily
Can I farm all upcoming airdrops?
No. Focus on 3-5. Spreading too thin = qualifying for nothing.
How much capital do I need?
-
Minimum: $200-500
-
Recommended: $1,000-2,000
-
Whale: $5,000-10,000+
What’s the single most important metric?
Unique contract interactions. 10 different protocols > 100 transactions on 1 protocol.
How do I hear about snapshots?
Follow official Twitter accounts. Join Discord. Check this page daily.
🔥 Pro Tips from Professional Farmers
“The best time to start farming an upcoming airdrop is the day the protocol launches. The second best time is today.” — @EarlyBird
“I put $500 into zkSync 18 months ago. Did 50 transactions. If the token drops at $5,000, that’s 10x. Worth the wait.” — @PatientFarmer
“Don’t ignore ‘boring’ protocols like lending platforms. They often airdrop more than sexy perp DEXs.” — @BoringIsBest
“I track 12 upcoming airdrops. But 80% of my capital goes to the top 3. Focus wins.” — @FocusedFarmer
“The month before a token launch, interactions spike. Start before the crowd.” — @FrontRunner
