In this educational video from Blum Academy, you’ll learn everything about cryptocurrency airdrops — the free distribution of crypto tokens designed to promote blockchain projects, expand user bases, and strengthen communities. The video explains how airdrops started as marketing giveaways and evolved into complex engagement systems involving user tasks, NFT purchases, and referral activities. It also covers retrodrops, where users are rewarded for past blockchain interactions, and highlights the new points-based reward systems like Blum’s model, which offers tokens, NFTs, or prizes based on participation. Viewers will also learn safety best practices to avoid scams, understand how to qualify for legitimate airdrops, and see why airdrops have become one of the most effective Web3 growth tools in 2025.
