❓ How to reduce the probability of airdrop counterattacks? 🧐 Identify mainstream tracks: public chain L1/L2, Defi protocol @ Dropstac_com, which focuses on data analysis, once created a chart to track the "2024 Major Airdrop Projects". According to its statistical results, airdrops issued through L1/L2 and Defi protocols accounted for 76% of the total airdrop value in 2024. Although projects in social/gaming/AI/Depin and other fields will certainly be airdropped, their potential return rate may not be as high as projects in L1/L2/Defi categories. Therefore, instead of dispersing energy and listing all projects, it is better to focus on L1/L2 and Defi projects with higher potential returns. 💰 Preliminary screening: Are there any top VC investors participating? Although everyone dislikes the narrative of VC coins, they still consider "having top VC investors" as one of the criteria for judging projects. Top VCs will conduct due diligence on projects/teams, with a certain degree of endorsement. In addition, top tier venture capitalists will also bring industry resources to the project, with higher project ceilings and greater opportunities for admission to universities. RootData once produced a Top 50 VC list at the end of 2024, which mostly includes well-known institutions and should serve as a good entry point. If you are familiar with Web3 projects, you can also directly search for the corresponding VC in RootData to see which projects they have invested in and how likely they are to make a big profit. You can even build your own 'VC preferences' and focus on the' unreleased 'projects invested by these VC in the future, and try to participate early on. 🔍 In depth research: some indicators that can be referenced Is the project in which stage? Is it early enough? The timing of participating in the project will greatly affect the probability of rejection. Users who only participate in the later stages of the project find it difficult to achieve significant results. If it is a public chain, there are Pre testing network/public testing network/main network stages; If it is a Dapp, there are points/seasons/events, etc. By understanding the project's initiation time/duration, determine which stage the project is in. Is the community active? A good project always has good community support, you can consider observing the project's Twitter/Discord/Telegram. What is the frequency of the project's tweets/articles being published? How active is the community in DC/TG chat rooms? Do team members value communication with the community? Is there a white paper available? Does the project have a competitive advantage? White paper is a fundamental standard and an important reference for assessing project quality. It can tell you what the project does, what highlights it has, and how it differs from other projects. How often is Github updated? If the project publishes the Github link, you can also check their code update frequency, which can to some extent reflect the project's activity and development progress. How strong and reputable are the team members of the project? You can also view the team members of the project on RootData to see their backgrounds, past experiences, and whether they have had successful project instances. I hope everyone can avoid being targeted and become wealthy successfully.
