About This Trend

Airdrop refers to a file-sharing feature developed by Apple, enabling users to wirelessly transfer photos, videos, documents, and more between nearby iPhones, iPads, and Macs. It is also used in the crypto context, where projects distribute cryptocurrencies or digital assets to eligible wallets.

Airdrop is currently trending due to its growing popularity as a tool for crypto projects to generate engagement and reward communities. Recent incidents, such as the $5 million attack on ZKSync's airdrop admin account and the announcement of $150 million airdrop by BloomBeans, have highlighted both its potential and security risks, making it a focal point in the crypto and tech spaces. .
