🚀 2026 Airdrop Guide: Choice is 100 times more important than effort! Based on the insights of top KOLs compiled by @BiteyeCN, this guide summarizes the "Four Rules" for selecting airdrop projects in 2026. 1️⃣ Prioritize high-certainty sectors, but avoid overheated areas: Perp DEX is expected to decline in 2026, with both liquidity and returns being diluted. Unless there is a significant mechanism advantage, heavy investment is not recommended. New Trends: Prediction Markets + Robotics. KOL Insights: @y95277777: The era of Perp DEX has arrived. 2026 must shift to Prediction Market 2.0 (World Cup event-driven). @cryptolfggo: Bullish on Variational, which has the potential to become the successor to Lightner in 2026. @yourQuantGuy: Most new Perp projects are highly homogenized; remain cautious in 2026. 2️⃣ In-depth assessment of funding, team, and product competitiveness: Examine funding, team history, and actual product strength (PMF) and revenue. KOL Insights: @EvanCrypto17: Deeply analyze the Lighter team, ZK technology, and RWA derivatives; a strong technological moat is key. @y95277777: Firmly choose infrastructure projects with a "no transaction fees + high liquidity" underlying structure. @yourQuantGuy: Products must be sufficiently attractive; projects that are merely shells cannot survive. 3️⃣ Timing Window: Seize Major Event Triggers 2026 is a big year for "sports + technology," with an extremely short window of opportunity. KOL Insights: @hellosuoha: Clearly points out that the 2026 World Cup is the core engine igniting the prediction market/Robotics. @cryptolfggo: Variational points programs are still in their early stages; this early window is the last chance for retail investors to enter the market. @y95277777: Prioritize projects that will reach TGE in Q1-Q2, as they offer the highest certainty. Additionally, in my own opinion, 4⃣ Examine the airdrop mechanism design and historical fairness: Choose projects with clear points tracking and genuine interactive rewards. Refer to the project's past airdrop practices (generous vs. stingy, history of anti-airdrop tactics), prioritizing teams with a strong sense of responsibility (potential for revenue buybacks). Do you all find this helpful?
