Many retail investors have complained about how hard it is to grab airdrops, but the real issue isn't about speed; it's that they simply don't understand the underlying strategy.
I've recently tested and summarized a set of insights. By following this logic, you can basically secure airdrop rewards consistently.
First, it's important to recognize a phenomenon: airdrop scores gradually decay, usually stopping around a decrease of 10 points. For example, if the initial threshold is 240 points, after a while it drops to about 230 points, and there are basically no new claims. This seemingly simple pattern actually implies a "two-stage claim window."
In the early stage, with a 240-point threshold, there's no need to race; almost everyone can claim a share. Then, after about ten minutes, when the score drops to the 230-point range, it's the real test of reaction speed. So instead of rushing at the start, waiting for this stable "bottom-line opportunity" actually increases your success rate.
Regarding score farming, the currently popular method in the community is the "16+2 per day" plan, which allows earning 18 points daily. Over a full cycle, this adds up to just over 280 points. Most airdrop projects set the starting threshold at 240 points. After two rounds, your score naturally returns to a safe zone. The entire process can balance itself, eliminating the need for mindless score farming and wasting effort.
But a warning here: after trading rule adjustments, the risk of score farming has increased significantly. Before operating, be sure to use the "stability list" to filter, looking for tokens with low price volatility and sufficient liquidity. Tokens on certain BNB Chain projects with low costs are good options. If you don't find suitable ones, wait patiently—don't rush blindly. If you encounter "sandwich attacks" or similar situations, a month’s worth of score farming gains could be wiped out.
Another key point—be sure to subscribe to relevant notification channels. This way, you can get early information on project launches and pre-emptively grasp opening prices. Recently, many projects have opening prices around $20. Unless your score is very high, trying to grab at the opening will only cost you points and ultimately be more harmful than helpful.
Platform rules will keep changing, but as long as retail investors stay calm and use the right methods, consistent gains are achievable. Many fall into a vicious cycle of "can't grab - farm scores randomly - lose more," but at the core, it's not about effort; it's about understanding the key logic points.
Once you master this approach, your airdrop rewards can become truly stable.
