Airdrop

An airdrop is a marketing or distribution method in which a blockchain project sends tokens, free of charge, to a large number of wallet addresses. Recipients may qualify by holding a particular coin, using a protocol, or completing simple tasks.

Airdrops can build awareness and decentralise ownership, but they are also used by scammers. Treat unexpected tokens with caution and never connect your wallet to an unknown site to “claim” one.
