This time last year I was doing over protocol and I was being hopeful that that project was going to be my biggest win in 2024 because of all the massive effort I had invested into the project. Never missed a day in the daily task, invited a lot of people into the project, had massive referral, was among the top 0.1% which was a lot and I was happy with my decisions in life. January of 2024 on my birthday the manta network eligibility checker came out and I was eligible, which felt great because I did the taks but wasnt expecting anything huge. Later in January or early February they launched and my airdrop was worth over $200. I was also hopeful about starkness because I have paid my dues on the chain and the fact I was doing it with 2 wallets made me pretty confident that I was going to be rewarded hugely.

Sadly starknet was a disaster and zeta chain came through for me, my expectations were extremely low on zeta chain because it was very easy to do, no hassle, I was shocked when I got about $6k worth of airdrop from the proejct. Moving forward, I kept on doing other crypto projects that seemed like they had the potential of giving me a high reward, sadly the ones I expected and put my hope on, failed me while the ones I least expected were the ones that blew my mind away. I recently got over $4k from the fuel airdrop and once again, the airdrop came as a shock to me, because the eligibility criteria that made me eligible was coincidentally an activity I did to flip NFTs on the chain and trade meme coins. So I was genuinely shocked and surprised when I got the airdrop.
The year ended great for me, because most times the best things that happen to us are the ones we didn’t plan or expect, but we are about to enter 2025, what can one do to make sure they stay ahead and keep being eligible for these airdrops and keep doing the right thing? All, consistency is always key and showing up is the best advise, keep showing up and keep doing what you are doing. May be, you might be lucky and you will achieve your goal.
