Airdrops have become a popular way for those involved in digital currencies to receive extra tokens, essentially free money, just for being part of a cryptocurrency community.
They work by distributing new tokens directly into the wallets of active participants as a reward or promotional boost, without any cost to the recipients.

To date, Drift has processed over $5 billion in trading between over 90,000
