Everyone is farming airdrops now but many will get NOTHING.
Why?
Because projects constantly improve their methods to exclude sybil farmers.
5⃣ simple steps how to increase your chances for ALL future airdrops:
1⃣ Donate to Gitcoin Grants
By donating you become a good actor who cares about the crypto space.
You also help fund public goods.
1. Go to gitcoin.co/grants/
2. Add to cart grants you like
3. Donate
Tip:
Use zkSync Checkout (zkSync airdrop rumours).
2⃣ Participate in DAO governance
If you hold DAO tokens, vote on proposals.
It shows you are an active and engaged user.
1. Go to snapshot.org
2. Find your project
3. Vote on active proposals
Tip:
Set up notifications using @HAL_Team to not miss any proposals.
3⃣ Create your digital identity
Many projects may want to exclude farmers with mutliple accounts from their airdrop.
To prove you are a human, use:
- BrightID: brightid.org/
- Proof Of Humanity: proofofhumanity.id/
- Gitcoin Passport: passport.gitcoin.co/
4⃣ Collect POAPs
POAPs are digital mementos minted to celebrate special events.
Projects issue POAPs for participants in calls, meet-ups, etc.
POAPs bring off-chain activity on chain - they enable projects to find (and reward) their most engaged users.

5⃣ Build your on-chain history
Fresh wallets with hardly any activity are most likely filtered out from airdrops.
Use your wallet every week, try different dapps.
Be natural in your activity: e.g. bridging in to L2 and immediately bridging out doesn't look natural to me.
Bonus advice:
Don't try to farm airdrops with multiple interconnected wallets.
Many projects will apply advanced methods to find sybil farmers and all your addresses may get excluded.
If you have multiple wallets, use them normally, e.g. don't bridge 1$ on 10 wallets in a row.
