The most effective key to unlocking airdrops is being an ACTIVE CONTRIBUTOR.
It might sound a bit absurd but it is what it is
This can be confirmed by the definition of โAIRDROPSโ.
For newbies, here's a task ~ Go check what an AIRDROP is.
If you've got no idea at all, here's a thread to enlighten you.

For those in search of deeper insight, this is the thread for you.
Today's article would cover:
โ Retroactive Airdrops
โ Secret behind Retros
โ Case Study
โ Projects to look out for.
Let's begin!
โ Retroactive Airdrops:
These drops are given to users of certain protocols/chains who have actively engaged on-chain โญ๏ธ.
Let's say McDonald's wants to reward consumers of their product, who do you think would get bonus smoothies?
Regular customers would be chosen over those who bought once and never came back.
Easy peasy!
This is just the same pattern with Retroactive airdrops.
Still confused?

Moving on in BAEU's voice
โ Secret behind Retros
While I'm no magician, there certainly are some tips that do the trick.
In my community, I always say: โRetroactive Airdrops deal hugely with the volume generated by a user overtimeโ
However, a small account can qualify equally, but consistency is required.
Let's say the volume of txns needed is $10000, a whale can easily run a single transaction of such volume but for upcoming stars, you'd need to do some mathโฆ
Let's calculate:
โ 10000 = 1000 ร 10
โ 10000 = 100 ร100
โ 10000 = 50 ร200
As your funds reduce, you need to interact more often โ๏ธ. Got it?
Alright!
Now, asides your volume, being an early bird is also a criteria for many projects.
If you know you want to make it~ keep hunting in the right places.
I've also shared a thread on tips to discover the right projects. Make sure to have a peep โฌ๏ธ

โ Case Study
We've said lots, now let's take a look at real life scenarios. Today, we'd go with the Optimism airdrop.
As a researcher, there are certain things I took note of, which you should pay attention to.
Date of chain mainnet launch :Dec 16, 2021
Time of Snapshot: 03-25-2022 0:00 UTC.
Criteria of Eligibility:
\>> OP Mainnet Users: Criterion: Address bridged to OP Mainnet from L1 during the early phases of mainnet (prior to Jun 23, 2021), or used OP Mainnet for more than 1 day (at least 24 hours between their first and last transaction) and made a transaction using an app (after to Jun 23, 2021).
\>>DAO Voters : Criterion: Address has either voted on or authored at least one proposal onchain, or at least two on Snapshot (offchain).
Now, I want you to look at the time between mainnet launch & snapshot.
If you're genuinely an active contributor, there's no way you wouldn't be able to carry out these txns within 8 months โ๏ธ.
The purpose of this article is to guide you and with this, you can't go wrong!
Everything in the space follows patterns, all you need to identify is the peculiar feature in every case scenario.
Take Eclipse for example:
โ If bridging would qualify you to get your Eclipse drop, Solana must and should be involved because Eclipse is an Eth L2 with more than just sprinkles of Solana.
Easy peasy!
Once again, identify the peculiar feature & act accordingly!
There are many protocols that required huge volume overtime <1 year and above>. If you're intentional, you can pull it off using our calculation.
โ Projects to look out for
Using your SCV rule, I'm sure you can pull off your research.
โช๏ธFor the SCV rule, check this tweet:

You can streamline your search to emerging chains like:
โขEclipse Chain
โขAbstract Chain
โขRari Chain
Interact with protocols building on their chain, you're early currently!
Heres bonus alpha for those who read till the end:
