Airdrop Model Under Strain

[cryptohog]

Investor interest in airdrops is waning due to structural challenges. In 2025, many projects introduced stricter eligibility criteria, longer engagement periods, vesting schedules, and technical requirements. Sybil attacks have also compromised some high-profile airdrops despite anti-farming measures.

Analysts argue the airdrop model is becoming overly complex and exclusionary, making it harder for everyday participants to benefit. What once required a few clicks to claim now demands weeks of effort, reducing participation and trust.
