Thank you for participating in the poll fam!
For those who responded 0, definitely read the thread below ;)
I've been blessed to get multiple airdrops (CRV, ENS, Saddle, OP, ARB, YLD, UNI, 1inch, INV - off the top of my head).
A good airdrop is worth your time and effort - My most rewarding airdrop was unexpected, 150k $CRV for providing 20k liquidity for few months (before governance tokens were announced, providing liquidity as I wanted to play a part in supporting DeFi)
I wrote a short thread here to help
show you what to look out for to make your own decisions, and
what protocols I'm personally focusing on
