The main activities for a potential Farcaster airdrop take place on Farcaster, a social network built for Web3. If you’ve used Twitter/X before, you’ll find it easy to navigate. Below are the key steps and actions that can help you qualify for potential rewards from Farcaster and its partners.
After setting up your account, you can start engaging in activities that may make you eligible for the airdrop. Here are some of them:
WARPS
Purchasing and holding a certain amount of WARPS tokens in your wallet could be beneficial for your eligibility.
Referrals
The more friends you invite, the better your chances. Farcaster offers two types of referrals:
- Regular: Your referral pays for their subscription.
- Gifted: You can purchase a subscription using WARPS and gift it to your referral.
Power Badge
Warpcast awards Power Badges to active, engaging, and non-spammy users. To improve your chances of receiving one:
- Use Farcaster several times a week.
- Post content that attracts responses, recasts, or likes from other Power users.
- Avoid off-topic or low-quality content that may be perceived as spam.
Subscribers
Engage with Power Badge holders by replying to and reposting their content. Subscribe to other users and encourage mutual follows. However, note that if a small percentage of your followers have Power Badges, it may be harder for you to obtain one. You can also host subscription raffles and create relevant posts in themed channels.
Creating a Channel
Anyone can create a channel on Warpcast. Channels serve as thematic threads where users can post messages. Creating one can increase your chances of qualifying for an airdrop, as it costs 2500 WARPS (~$ 25).
Mint NFTs
Farcaster periodically releases commemorative NFTs celebrating major updates. Minting these NFTs may also increase your eligibility for an airdrop:
1Frames
Frames transform traditional Farcaster casts (short text posts) into interactive mini-apps. Creating Frames not only enhances your engagement and follower count but may also serve as a qualifying activity for the airdrop. You can use tools like Lenspost, Airstack, Neynar, and others to create Frames.
OG NFT
Owning a Farcaster OG NFT may also count as a qualifying criterion. These NFTs were previously distributed for free to Power Badge users.
Keep in mind that Farcaster isn’t a one-day activity. Consistent participation is key to improving your chances of receiving an airdrop. Additionally, you can take part in token and NFT giveaways directly within the Warpcast app, which can also be quite rewarding.
