5 key take-aways so you don't get excluded from airdrops ⚡

1/5

Eligibility Criteria:

• Conducted transactions: number, value, and time thresholds

• Arbitrum Nova: bridging & conducted transactions

• Dapps and Governance activity

💡 Take-away: the more different activities, the better. Be active!

2/5

USD Value. I know this is a given, but it's important to stress out.

• The majority of wallets transact on small USD amounts

• The majority of wallets got small airdrops (USD value terms)

💡 Take-away: more volume = bigger airdrop. But you didn't need to be a whale to get it!

3/5

The number of transactions

• The majority of the wallets made 1-2 transactions (1M+ wallets)

• Only 100k wallets made 50-100 transactions

Median = 3

Average = 28

💡 Take-away: more transactions = more valuable airdrop.

4/5

Sybil wallets:

• The Arbitrum Foundation wanted to exclude sybil wallets from getting the $ARB airdrop

• Sybil wallets = wallets with similar/fake activity, with the pure intention of hunting for an airdrop

• 172k wallets excluded

💡 Take-away: be user, not a "hunter"

5/5

Negative criteria ⚠️

This is a new concept: some actions subtracted points, i.e. they hurt the user's individual points to get ARB.

These users got less ARB:

• All transactions in a 48h period

• Interacted with only 1 smart contract

• Low ETH balance in Snapshot day

There's a lot more data in their official report.
