      What is an Airdrop?

      An airdrop is like a surprise gift of cryptocurrencies. Imagine opening a box and finding coins inside! This is similar to receiving a notification from a new blockchain project about free tokens or coins. Crypto airdrops involve the free distribution of digital assets to users' wallets or as an exchange for completing simple tasks, such as following the project on social media or joining their online community.

They are like free samples in a supermarket, attracting users to try new products.

These tokens are not just freebies, but a way to participate in the evolving digital economy.
