Understanding ARB Airdrops in One Article

Abstract generation in progress

Do you remember the “overnight wealth dream” in March 2023? The Arbitrum ARB Airdrop allowed many people to get governance tokens for free. Although some time has passed, this classic case is worth revisiting.

Why is this round of airdrop so popular?

Large project scale: Arbitrum One has locked funds of 36.9 billion USD, accounting for nearly 55% of the Layer 2 market share, making it a leader in the Layer 2 ecosystem.

Supply Scarcity: The total supply is only 10 billion ARB, with a maximum annual inflation rate of only 2%, following the same scarcity design concept as Bitcoin.

Retail investors have a large profit margin: Only 11.62% (approximately 1.162 billion coins) of the initial supply is allocated for airdrops to community users, while 42.78% goes to the DAO treasury, 26.94% to team advisors, and 17.53% to investment institutions. This distribution ratio has led many to see the “doubling dream”.

Who can get ARB?

Arbitrum uses a points system to determine Airdrop amounts:

  • Basic Requirement: Have transaction records on Arbitrum One or Nova
  • Rating Dimensions: Trading frequency (4-100 times), trading amount ($10,000-$250,000), providing liquidity, participating in ecological activities, etc.
  • The higher the score, the more rewards: Start from 3 points (1200 ARB), and if you score above 12 points, you can receive 10200 ARB.

This mechanism is actually rewarding real ecological participants, rather than purely those who just take advantage of it.

What can be done now?

The ARB airdrop has long since ended, but the ARB token itself can still be traded. Users who want to participate in the Arbitrum ecosystem can:

  1. Buy ARB directly on the exchange.
  2. Hold coin to participate in DAO governance (voting rights)
  3. Participate in DeFi projects within the ecosystem

ARB surged from $0.8 to over $2 at one point, and is now hovering around $0.2, which is a significant correction compared to its peak. This also indicates that the price trend after an airdrop is not always “skyrocketing”, and the risks still need to be clearly assessed.
