Distributing tokens to users for free.
An airdrop hands out tokens for free, often to reward a protocol's early users or to bootstrap a community and decentralised governance.
They can be valuable, but also attract opportunistic ‘farming’ and scams: a fake airdrop asks for a signature that drains your wallet.
You receive 1,500 free tokens, trading at $1.20 when received.
Many recipients sell at unlock. A pro decides the exit strategy in advance and records the value at receipt.
