New projects airdrop tokens directly to the Glue addresses of established communities, creating mutual incentives for growth and promotion.

Community Airdrops to Glue addresses represent an innovative approach to token distribution and community building. By airdropping tokens directly to the Glue of an established token or NFT collection, new projects create a symbiotic relationship with existing communities.

This strategy provides financial incentives for the receiving community to support and promote the new venture. As the value of the airdropped tokens increases, it directly contributes to the collateral value of the receiving community's own tokens or NFTs, fostering mutual growth and success.

• Mechanism: Airdrop a token to another community Glue
• Impact: Generate a link between the two tokens value and a financial incentive to help your token to grow, because your token is part of the receiving community backed price
• Benefits:
  • Instant access to an established community
  • Increased visibility and potential user adoption
  • Aligned incentives for mutual growth
  • Cost-effective marketing strategy
  • Potential for cross-community collaborations

Community Airdrops vs Traditional Airdrops

Community Airdrops represent a significant evolution from traditional airdrop models, offering unique benefits and incentives for both the new project and the receiving community.

Key Differences

• Recipient: Traditional airdrops distribute tokens to individual user wallets, while Community Airdrops send tokens to the Glue address of an existing token or NFT community.
• Accessibility: In traditional airdrops, users can immediately access and potentially sell their tokens. In Community Airdrops, the tokens become part of the backing value of the original token/NFT and can't be directly withdrawn by individual community members without burning their original tokens/NFTs.
• Incentive Structure: Traditional airdrops often lead to immediate selling pressure. Community Airdrops create a long-term aligned incentive for the entire community to support and promote the new project.

Benefits of Community Airdrops

• Aligned Interests: The receiving community is motivated to support the new project as its success directly increases the backed value of their original token/NFT.
• Reduced Sell Pressure: Since individual community members can't easily dump the airdropped tokens, it mitigates the immediate sell pressure often seen in traditional airdrops.
• Community Engagement: This model fosters a sense of collective benefit, encouraging the entire community to actively engage with and promote the new project.
