ICOs and Airdrops– Guide to Airdrops
CoinGecko
Airdrops are a marketing technique used by cryptocurrency projects to award free tokens to registered users or active promoters of the token.
WHAT ARE AIRDROPS?
The value of cryptocurrencies is dependent on community interest. Airdrops provide a good way for cryptocurrency projects to generate market traction. For certain airdrops, users have to provide personal information such as email addresses which can be used to conduct follow-up marketing efforts.
WHY DO COMPANIES GIVE FREE TOKENS?
TOKEN GIVEAWAYS BOUNTY CAMPAIGN
TYPICAL AIRDROPS Airdrops that are considered “easy” and merely require simple tasks such as email verification or joining a telegram group in order to receive the free tokens.
This is generally much harder. Users need to complete specific tasks to earn tokens. Tasks generally revolve around actively marketing or sharing of the project. Correspondingly, rewards are generally much greater that typical airdrops
WHAT YOU NEED:
ERC-20 Compatible wallet that only you hold the private keys to.
Telegram account with a username to join official groups.
Email address that you’re okay with receiving marketing materials. This is used for verification.
BitcoinTalk Forum account.. Some projects use this platform to track participation.
Reddit account to upvote certain posts and subscribe to subreddits.
Twitter account. Users might need to tweet about a project or retweet a project’s tweets.
Facebook profile to like and share a page.

Founder’s Notes – Looking Forward The beginning of 2018 has seen a tremendous consolidation of the cryptocurrency market. The massive bull run of the previous year ended with a sharp correction early this quarter. This correction saw many cryptocurrencies shaving 75% off previous highs. Bitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, while Ethereum has regained second place. Globally, an unprecedented number of blockchain projects are coming online. Many of these projects are raising funds in the form of ICOs. We are also seeing more mergers & acquisitions in the cryptocurrency space, such as Circle acquiring Poloniex, which was once the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.
At the same time, many governments are stepping up regulatory measures. They are drafting clearer guidelines on cryptocurrencies and cracking down on suspicious projects. We will see certain jurisdictions welcoming cryptocurrency companies with open arms. For example, Malta has welcomed Binance, and Gibraltar is launching its own blockchain exchange. We are also seeing a trend where startups and large companies consider ICOs as a method of fundraising. However, the viability of this method remains unclear because the use cases for blockchain have yet to be proven. Overall, our advice is to conduct proper evaluations and approach each project critically and thoroughly before making any investments. As we begin the second quarter of 2018, we encourage everyone to be cautious. Coincheck's $530million hack in February is just one of the many examples of numerous thefts that have happened. It is important for us to learn how to keep our cryptocurrencies safe and be vigilant of the risks in the industry. It is also interesting to note that the industry has began to organize itself and form self-regulatory bodies to police bad behavior. We are also keeping abreast with developments in blockchain projects that aim to reduce fraud in the industry, such as Sentinel Protocol. As always, we will be here to provide you with the data, trends, insights, and perspective on this dynamic crypto market. Do reach out to us if you have any comments and suggestions. We would love to hear from you.
