Translated by: Hu Tao, Chain Catcher

After searching for new projects to invest some capital in every night, I received some of the best airdrops in the past few years, including: $UNI, $ENS, $dYdX, $INCH, $SNX, $GFI, $ILV, $ICP, $NOTE, $INST.

In this guide, you can find a brief list of some of the most important protocols that may conduct airdrops in 2022. I also included some actions on how to acquire them, but first, here’s some context.

Airdrops are a new growth hacking technique that allows protocols to attract (and retain) early users/evangelists into the ecosystem by promising future rewards. These projects do not allocate a marketing budget but instead set aside a share of future tokens to reward past users, decentralize the product, and attract newcomers.

Let’s start the list:

1. Hop Protocol
