With the rising popularity of NFTs in 2021, crypto enthusiasts are jumping on the NFT bandwagon to diversify their portfolios. A reason why NFTs have become so popular is that holding one NFT makes you eligible for more. That too, for free! Yes, you read that right! NFT Holder Airdrops is now the talk of the crypto town.
Why do projects airdrop more NFTs to existing NFT holders? First, to build a stronger community around the project. Second, the additional NFTs add more value and utility to the existing NFTs. So without further ado, let us dive right into the top NFT Holder Airdrops.
List of 8 Current NFT Holder Airdrops
Holder airdrops mean you receive an airdrop because you hold an asset. In this case, a specific NFT. This first started in the early days of cryptocurrency. Often if you held Bitcoin or Ethereum, you would be eligible for an airdrop. Byteball, Stellar, and others airdropped to BTC holders. While Tron, OMG, and others airdropped to Ethereum holders.
Now, this trend has started in the NFT industry. It’s one of 6 ways to earn with NFTs. So study this one and find out more about the other ways here.
1] Bored Apes Airdropped Serums For Mutant Apes
Bored Apes (BAYC) holders received 10,000 vials of ‘Mutant Serum’ to convert their apes into Mutant Apes (MAYC). The project developers randomly airdropped three mutant serums: M1, M2, and M3 (Mega Mutant). When a Bored Ape ingests (burns) the serum vial, it creates a Mutant Ape. Each serum has a different effect on the ape and can be used only once on a particular ape. Thus, all the Mutant Apes are unique and different from each other.
Someone offered 269 ETH ($872K) to an Ape holder who received a free Serum and made a Mutant Ape. And that pretty much puts the craze around NFTs in perspective. However, this was not the first time the Bored Apes holders received free NFTs. On June 18, 2021, the ape holders could mint Bored Ape Kennel Club NFT dogs for free.
2] Lazy Lions Airdropped Bungalows NFTs
Lazy Lions consists of 10.1K algorithmically generated NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. They are giving away 10K Lazy Lions Bungalows for free to all Lazy Lions holders. Basically, one bungalow per lion. This NFT Holder Airdrop is open till 2 October 2021. You can still mint yours for free if you had a Lazy Lion before the snapshot.
Currently, the Lazy Lion team is working on a dApp for owners to display more of their NFT collection in the bungalow. A link between NFTs you hold with the Lazy Lion Bungalow will be made on the blockchain. So you can prove that you own the NFTs you display. This NFT is created to be a perfect banner size on social media like Twitter. As you can only display one as your profile picture. Pretty cool right?
3] CryptoPunks Airdropped Meebits
Realized in 2017, CryptoPunks inaugurated the NFT movement in the crypto domain. Since both CryptoPunks and Meebits came out from the Larva Labs, the project owners decided to do an NFT Holder Airdrop. The airdrop was a token of gratitude and a reward for the early NFT adopters. Thus, the developers ran a community grant for all the Punk holders.
CryptoPunks holders received a total of 10,000 Meebits as part of the grant. Any Punk holder could mint Meebits for free in the first seven days after launch. The same was applicable for Autoglyph owners as well.
4] Robotos Airdropped Robotos Genesis
