An airdrop sends tokens free to eligible wallets. Networks use them to reward early users, bootstrapping a token's distribution and governance from day one — which also makes the token's ownership spread matter. Eligibility Airdrops often target active wallets: those that used a protocol, held a related token, or engaged before a snapshot date. Scammers exploit this by faking airdrops to steal wallet access — always verify domains and never connect a wallet to unknown sites. Why distribution quality matters A token widely dispersed in small amounts is more decentralized than one concentrated among insiders. How a network launched its token supply is a permanent, on-chain fact that W3D's capital scores reflect. Related terms Token, Governance, Decentralization, Wallet, Exchange
An airdrop sends tokens free to eligible wallets. Networks use them to reward early users, bootstrapping a token’s distribution and governance from day one — which also makes the token’s ownership spread matter.
Eligibility
Airdrops often target active wallets: those that used a protocol, held a related token, or engaged before a snapshot date. Scammers exploit this by faking airdrops to steal wallet access — always verify domains and never connect a wallet to unknown sites.
Why distribution quality matters
A token widely dispersed in small amounts is more decentralized than one concentrated among insiders. How a network launched its token supply is a permanent, on-chain fact that W3D’s capital scores reflect.
