In the early stages of a project, you need to invest fully, but you must also know when to exit at the right moment.

I earned a seven-figure income through airdrop mining in 2024 and successfully participated in over 100 airdrop projects.

Now, I will share 8 practical tips to help you significantly increase your earnings in this field and achieve your goals in 2025.

1: Focus on PVP Skill-Based Airdrops

If you want to be a winner in this game and earn far more than others, you must seize those rare opportunities that give you a competitive edge.

For example: Tensor, Hyperliquid, Magic Eden, Meteora.

Treat it like a challenging video game, working hard every day to hone your skills, optimize your strategies, and strive to climb to the top of the leaderboard.

In these opportunities, you may gain life-changing rewards.

2: Don’t Ignore Season 2

Many airdrop miners stop their activities after the TGE (Token Generation Event), which is a serious mistake.

Many projects only release a small amount of tokens initially, while most of the token supply allocated to the community is often distributed later.

In fact, airdrops in the second season often have a better return on investment than those in the first season, as rewards decrease while competition also becomes smaller.

3: 8 Wallet Strategy

Excellent airdrop miners use multiple wallets, and in my experience, 8 is an ideal number.

This number is sufficient to scale up while avoiding being flagged for manipulating multiple accounts (i.e., Sybil attacks), and it is not overly complex to manage.

I usually divide the wallets into two groups: 4 main wallets and 4 auxiliary wallets.

Main wallets are primarily used for high-quality opportunities that require active management, but the management intensity varies.

For example, in a points airdrop, I would aim for 10 million points in the first main wallet, 5 million points in the second wallet, while the other two wallets would aim for 3 million points each.

Auxiliary wallets are used for airdrops that require less management, executing the same operations in each auxiliary wallet.

This strategy allows you to maximize returns in both linear reward systems and tiered reward systems.

4: Reduce Time and Liquidity Investment Intensity

This point mainly targets non-skill-based PVP airdrop projects.

Airdrop rewards typically favor early OGs (original users), so you need to invest fully in the early stages of the project, but also know when to exit at the right moment.

Take Hyperliquid as an example; it is a very successful project, and I expect more projects to replicate their model in the future. For reference, they distribute the same number of points each week. However, in the initial weeks, you could earn 1000 times more points through the same activities than in the last few weeks.

But I see many people continuously increasing their investment scale due to recognition from Crypto Twitter. Don’t be like them.

Your time and liquidity are limited, so allocate resources wisely. You can invest heavily in the early stages, but when returns start to diminish, you should shift your focus promptly. If you have already completed enough tasks early on, there is no need to stick around until the TGE.

This way, you can become a "harvester" rather than a "harvested" target. Many projects will extract more value from users as the TGE approaches through various means.

5: Become a Direct Messaging Expert

In the crypto world, real Alpha is often shared through direct messages rather than public channels (like Twitter or group chats). This is especially important in skill-based PVP airdrops. You need to communicate with the right people as much as possible through direct messages.

When you discover outstanding players in the field, proactively DM them, try to build friendships, and help each other. Exchanging referral links is also a great way to foster teamwork and align interests.

At the same time, you can also try to DM team members of the projects you are participating in. The information they reveal in DMs is often more valuable than what is shared in public.

In the crypto space, a key piece of insider information can drastically change your earnings, so don’t underestimate the value of this work.

6: Optimize Your Exit Strategy

Getting a good token allocation is only part of the success; the ultimate goal is to sell these tokens at the best price.

However, I see too many people asking others what to do on TGE day. They haven’t made a plan or strategy in advance, and as a result, they waste months of effort due to poor decisions. Don’t be like them.

Before each TGE, independently formulate your exit strategy and goals. Don’t blindly trust advice on social media, as those price targets are often highly subjective and biased.

To reduce volatility, it is advisable to exit gradually. Don’t sell all your tokens at once, nor should you hold them completely without action; both are unwise strategies. You are not a professional trader, so don’t try to time the market perfectly.

Gradually exit, for example, selling 20%-50% at TGE, depending on your goals, and then adjust flexibly based on market conditions.

Remember, airdrops are not free money. Whether you obtained these tokens through airdrops or purchased them directly, there is essentially no difference; you should treat your airdrop tokens like any other asset.

7: Become an Organic Participant in the Ecosystem

Airdrop mining is not just about trying out projects and technologies before the TGE. By leaving a good on-chain record in the right ecosystem, you can also reap substantial rewards.

For example, in the past year, as long as you used Solana or Sui and held some NFTs (non-fungible tokens), you might have earned more than actively participating in mining activities of other L2 (Layer 2 networks). Early users' wallets on ETH (Ethereum) also performed well in airdrops across many EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible networks, sometimes even exceeding the earnings of regular users.

As airdrop mining becomes more popular, I believe excellent projects will be more inclined to reward those who naturally participate in the ecosystem rather than just pure airdrop miners. You can also become an important part of the ecosystem in this way.

This year, some brand new ecosystems will emerge, such as Berachain, Monad, and Eclipse. These emerging networks offer excellent opportunities for early users. The efforts you make today will determine whether you can become an OG (Original Gangster, meaning early user or veteran player) in the future. If you have confidence in a new ecosystem, then boldly invest in it and enjoy the exploration process!

Who knows what opportunities this may bring you?

8: Seize the Opportunities of the Moment

If you’ve made it this far, I want to end this article with the most important advice, which you deserve to have.

Currently, dozens of projects are airdropping billions of tokens every month. Do you really think such opportunities will last forever?

Believe me, they won’t. If you don’t seize this opportunity today, you may deeply regret it in the future.

Your current efforts are far from enough. Sacrifice some hobbies and leisure time, go all out, and push your limits. Set high goals and don’t be satisfied with small achievements.

This path won’t be easy; it may be painful and even exhausting, but you need to love this challenge.

You are currently in the right place at the right time, with a unique opportunity that can change your life—perhaps even the lives of those you love.

Don’t let this opportunity slip away.
