A Practical Methodology for Evaluating Airdrop Eligibility
A checklist-based framework for triaging airdrop opportunities by risk, effort and expected value — with explicit caution flags.

Airdrop hunting is a repeatable research workflow when done with discipline. Our methodology scores opportunities on four axes: eligibility certainty, effort-to-value ratio, team credibility, and security risk.
Every opportunity gets an explicit risk label and a scam-warning checklist. The single most important rule: never provide a seed phrase or private key. Genuine protocols never ask for them.
Estimated values are ranges, not guarantees — treat any dollar figure as a research estimate.
