- **Magic Eden** is working hard to establish itself among NFT marketplaces and is regularly featured in lists of the **most anticipated drops in 2024**👍
To mark the launch of Magic Eden Wallet, they're offering **Free mint NFTs in the wallet until February 28**:

I believe it's definitely worth participating in the mint!

- **Goodbye FOMO and procrastination: Become autonomous drop hunter!**😡
Six months ago, as soon as I decided to make drop hunting my regular crypto routine, I encountered strong procrastination and FOMO.
Too many projects, information overload, and research. Moreover, success metrics are not always clear when it comes to retro drops.
Despite the existence of many cool channels, where analysts share their recommendations, it's absolutely necessary to learn to be an autonomous researcher.
Almost all recommendations in this market are marked with the DYOR abbreviation, you know.
After all, there are thousands of announcements/recommendations, and it's physically impossible to handle all projects at once (unless you have an army of degens, good software, and millions of dollars for this activity).
Therefore, in my view, the first thing to do is to define your personal strategy, so that you immediately understand which projects and activities you are ready to engage with, and how to integrate them into your life clearly.
✨**I propose building the strategy as follows:**
1) Determine how much money you are willing to invest right now. In almost all activities, except for testnets, there are gas costs (network fees). If you are not willing to invest at least $ 10 in transactions in a project and leave $ 10-100 stored in the network, then, my friend, spin free testnets.
2) Determine how much time you are willing to spend on these activities right now. Allocate set hours in your schedule for these activities.
3) Understand your optimal risk-reward and the amount that motivates you to engage in all of this.
✨**For example, my strategy:**
I am motivated to thoroughly understand projects and ecosystems because I work in a Web3 venture + to earn at least $ 100k from drops in 2024.
One project can shoot up to $ 100k, where you make 30 wallets with expenses of $ 300 (in total) and 10 wallets in different projects with a drop of $ 1000 each (for which I will spend another $ 100).
To perform such volumes of activities, I dedicate no less than 3 hours a day to all of this. Also, I invest $ 100-300 in fees each month for such volumes.
Remember, no one can guarantee you a drop (that it will definitely happen), its amount, and time. But all probabilities increase in a bull market.
I'll be sharing my activities along with my own thoughts and research from cool analysts in my Telegram channels:

- Today, the announcement of the Starknet drop was released💧
https://provisions.starknet.io/
Criteria:
- Minimum 5 transactions
- From 3 unique months until 15.11.2023
- From $ 100 volume until 15.11.2023
- More than 0.005 ETH in the wallet
The community is not really satisfied as I see;
they even shaved off those who were potentially eligible with their main wallet 🤔
However, these criteria can be taken as a potential benchmark for receiving retro drops (but in my opinion, you need to make at least 10 transactions).
* The term "shaved off" means the team determined that the wallet was sybil (potentially multi-accounting) and excluded it from the drop selection.

- **Airdrops on Galxe and Layer3**
Let's continue our crash course in the universe of **Airdrops**✨
Practically all Airdrop campaigns take place on two platforms, **Galxe and Layer3** (there are many platforms, but these two are most often used by major projects).
**Why is it beneficial to participate in these campaigns/quests:**
▪️**Farming points/XP - it's always an opportunity to receive rewards**, however, in campaigns with a large number of participants, the statistical chance of receiving a large reward is very small. Participation in such Airdrops campaigns often resembles a lottery.
▪️**The campaigns/quests themselves often serve as guides to all potential interactions with the ecosystem/project**. Thanks to them, for example, you'll learn on which marketplaces the ecosystem contributes to minting/purchasing NFTs, which applications it wants to introduce to users, what roles you can obtain in Discord, and so on.
For instance, if you've completed all the quests for **Aptos**, you've likely thoroughly explored the ecosystem and therefore become eligible for potential retrodrops (which could be $ 3-5k in your wallet, but who knows, it's always unpredictable).
I would use **Galxe and Layer3** as very clear onboarding into ecosystems/projects and **assistance in eligibility for retrodrops**, which are the biggest rewards for their early users.
If any farmed XP is converted into a small drop/reward, let it be simply a pleasant bonus, but not the final goal🤔
*PS: The next post will be dedicated to forming your personal strategy (it's very important to avoid falling into procrastination and FOMO)*
- 🤔 What are airdrops and retrodrops?
Today, I will start the topic of introductory posts, as many crypto enthusiasts are just beginning to explore the greatness and power of drop hunting.
In my opinion, it will be very useful to start with the most important definitions, such as Airdrops, retrodrops, etc., and their mechanics.
👾 Airdrop basics - it's a free distribution of tokens for activities in the project. Airdrops are divided into:
1️⃣ Retrodrops - Retrospective distribution of tokens for early activity in the network/project.
- Often done by projects that users are already using - often not for tokens, but for functionality.
- Often comes as a big surprise, without prior announcement (but the team often hints at possible rewards and stirs interest), often perceived with enormous gratitude from the community.
2️⃣ Announced Airdrops in the future:
- This is the biggest and noisiest group. There are more mechanics here, campaigns, XP farming on Galxy, etc.
- Often, the weaker the project, the more it will try to promote itself through airdrops. But it's not always the case. Trends change.
- Sometimes lead to community disappointment. Expectations are formed, which often grow over time and are not justified. The user is left with a negative interaction experience. So here - without high expectations.
Other reasons why projects may distribute their tokens:
1️⃣ Liquidity farming - Token farming for providing liquidity to the network/project.
- Suitable for those who already have good capital, you can get a clear percentage of project tokens for providing liquidity to pools.
2️⃣ Activity in testnets:
- While the network has not yet entered the mainnet, you burn "virtual gas" and make free transactions in the project's testnet, which greatly helps the team with testing the network. And for this, the team can reward its helpers with a drop! (Or maybe not😢)
- If you engage in multi-accounting here, and without it, life change (a little crypto slang) in general, is statistically unlikely - you can try your luck for free. You will only need to invest your time.
😉 DYOR*
(*Do your own research)
- They say doing the third quest of Aptos still makes sense if you haven't started yet. Aptos is real gem, they say
- Are you doing testnets for Bera Chain? It seems like it's super hyped

- Hello, I'm Sveta, a self-proclaimed crypto venture enthusiast, or as I affectionately refer to myself, a Web3 adVenturer!
@cryptogirls inspired me to start creating content on Lens and truly instilled in me a love for SocialFi. In my opinion, Nastya is one of the most amazing contributors, not only to Lens but also to the SocialFi space, creating genuinely awesome content and doing great work in Lens.
So, I'm happy to introduce myself here. The last two years, I've been diving deep into the Web3 world. I've worn many hats, working as a Community & Partnership Manager for accelerators and as a Product & BD Manager for a few of early-stage Web3 startups.
Recently, I've been living in Portugal and loving every moment of it. I've been getting involved in the local Web3 communities, and I'm excited to share my journey on my blog. It's been amazing to see the interest among my friends and peers in starting their own Web3 projects and overcoming the challenges that come with it.
Thanks to my experience working with accelerators and getting advice from some really successful founders and advisors, I've got some great insights to pass along.
And if you're curious about finding opportunities in the Web3 space, what your options are, or if you can make a living in the crypto world, I'm happy to share what I know. I've just come out of two back-to-back hackathons at EthLisbon and NearCon, and I'm gearing up for a whirlwind of events at Web Summit next week. I promise to bring back lots of valuable insights to share with you. So, stay tuned!
