An Airdrop is a free distribution of cryptocurrency (token) to people who request it. Yes, you have read well, tokens are distributed for free in exchange for some compensation such as: sharing a twitter publication, joining a Telegram group, etc. Indeed, the company that starts distributing wants to be popular before an ICO (Initial coin offering). There are more or less interesting airdrops and that’s why we look for the best airdrops for you.

We now offer you a new Telegram channel dedicated to airdrops. The research for airdrops takes time and is often laborious, which is why, to save you time, the team selects for you the best airdrops of the moment by explaining, in broad terms, the purpose of the various projects. The procedure to follow is detailed in order to participate in each airdrop.

To be able to participate in the different airdrops, you will need some essential prerequisites, here they are:

  • The vast majority of airdrops launch on the Ethereum blockchain via ERC20 tokens, so you will need an ethereum address compatible with this standard. It is therefore preferable to create an address dedicated to airdrops on Metamask or MyEtherWallet. This will make it easier for you to see your earnings.
  • I also advise you to create a text file in order to paste the informations that will be regularly requested from you. (Twitter profile, Facebook, Telegram ID, ETH address, etc…)
  • The accounts to have on hand to participate in airdrops are: Telegram and Twitter for the essentials. You may also need a Facebook, Discord, Medium, etc.
  • Some airdrops will ask you to fill out their KYC (Know Your Customer), it is often in the form of a questionnaire to be completed to verify your identity. You will often be asked for your identity card or passport. There are more and more airdrops verifying the identity of their customers with third-party applications such as Civic or Yoti, which are a kind of digital and decentralized identity card. It may therefore be useful to download these applications and complete your information upstream.
  • Don’t forget to check your email box regularly as some airdrops will contact you to get a validation before the tokens are distributed.

A brief summary of the prerequisites to keep in your text file:

  • An Ethereum address (ERC20) You do not need to provide the Ethereum address of a Crypto stock exchange (Bittrex, Binance, Kraken, Coinbase) because you do not have access to the private key, so you will never get your tokens. Always use a Metamask or MyEtherWallet address. (i.e. an ERC20 token accounting address)
  • An email address ( it will be more convenient to create one dedicated to airdrops) such as john-airdrop@domain.com
  • Telegram account
  • Twitter account
  • Facebook account
  • BitcoinTalk account, Youtube, medium, steemit, reddit
