This is why TIA stakers haven't and will never get more than a 47 airdrop
Let's do a thought experiment
Say your a airdrop designer for a project
The questions floats if we should airdrop to TIA stakers
If so what would the criteria and distribution look like
Currently there are 315,240 Unique TIA stakers
We can see the bulk of these are in the sub 10 and sub 100 staked TIA brackets
So lets break it down more
Over 53k wallets have 1.7 TIA or less staked
So we can easily cut out anything 8 tia and under to remove "sybils/ low quality users"
Then we can tier out the follow buckets
9-20 TIA staked = 53,750 users
20.1-51 TIA staked = 69,240 users
51.1-101 TIA staked = 37,438 users
102-202 TIA staked = 17,408 users
203-1000 TIA staked = 10,632 users
1000+ TIA staked = fvck them their rich and delusional enough to be staking that much TIA so no airdrop for this cohort
Total users 188,468
If your a project it doesn't really make sense to airdrop more than 1-2% of your total supply to another "side" / not your main community
So lets say you have 1.5% total supply to allocate and you launch at a 500M FDV (more than most projects these days)
That's 7.5M to go to all TIA stakers
If I were to tier it up it would look like something like this (main point is amount needs to up per tier):
Even if your in the "high quality user" cohort of 51-101 TIA staked the average user in this group will only get 47
TLDR - the math doesn't math
There are simply too many TIA stakers
Projects would have to allocate too "large" of an amount of their total supply to give an "impactful" amount
+ would have to launch at a reasonably high FDV (500M FDV)
+ VC shill fest, large investors can earn TIA from their locked TIA tokens and sell them continuously
This is why you've never gotten a airdrop for staking TIA that was even worth your time to claim @TaikiMaeda2
