In the airdrop season of 2025, my track record can be described as quite poor. I went through my wallet and took stock: Linea, Story Protocol, Kaito, EigenLayer, EtherFi, Hyperliquid, Mode, Zircuit, Taiko, Berachain, Monad, Movement, Initia, Fuel, Karak, Anoma, 0G, Union, Avantis, Mira… among these twenty projects, I received airdrop rewards of $0.
From Layer 2 to DeFi ecosystems, from modular blockchains to emerging L1s, I’ve interacted with almost every popular project in each track. And the result? Not a single penny gained.
Sometimes I wonder, do these project teams really have no plans to distribute airdrops, or is it because there are too many participants, making the distribution criteria very strict? Or maybe I just didn’t time my interactions right or didn’t participate at the right moments. But on the other hand, such results are actually quite common — airdrops are inherently a game of probability; high participation doesn’t necessarily mean high rewards.

Airdropping for twenty projects as a backup, wow, that takes a lot of perseverance.

Haha, this is our daily life. In the end, we're just working for the project teams.
20 projects and not a single gain. How strong is this lineup?
Speaking of engagement, it really doesn't matter; it's all about probability and luck.
Really? None of these have airdrop plans?
It feels like airdrops are getting more and more difficult now. It’s no longer a benefit of the old days.
Same here. Every time I think I’ve got the right approach, but I still end up with zero.
Maybe we should just consider it as gaining experience. One day, we’ll hit it.
The probability of all these twenty being zero, man, how unlucky must you be?

Haha, it's really terrible. All 20 projects are $0? Me too, I feel like all the airdrops this year have been eaten up by big players.
The project I participated in the most is actually not, which is ridiculous.
Stop talking about it, it's sad. Let's just keep grinding.
By the way, did you join too late? Many project snapshots have already passed.
Looks like I need to change my strategy. Next season, I need to be more aggressive.
That's why I say airdrops are about luck; the distribution rights are entirely in the hands of the project teams.
If I can't make money, I might as well just enjoy the free experience.

All 20 projects are at 0, that's just ridiculous haha. I'm about the same, feeling like the airdrop standards have become extremely competitive this year.

All 20 projects are at 0. Dude, are you seriously doing an airdrop or just doing charity?

Laughing to death, I also lost everything in that batch, it seems we all don't have that luck
---
All 20 projects are zero, how much patience does that take? I’m about to break apart
---
If I had known, I’d rather all-in on one reliable project, don’t be so scattered
---
Is it really a probability game, or is it just that our methodology is wrong?
---
That’s why I now only follow the choices of big V influencers
---
Instead of saying high participation, it’s more accurate to say early participation ≠ correct participation
---
Have you seen worse? I’m the kind of person with 19 out of 20 projects at zero
---
Wait, do you still have a chance to turn things around in February?
---
We really got cut once, let’s exit the pit together
---
I think these project teams really don’t have the budget to support retail investors

None of the 20 projects hit the mark, how unlucky can I get... I feel like I participated quite seriously, but it was all for nothing.

Twenty projects with zero gains, how capable must that be? I really admire this execution ability.
