Scoring methodology
How Airdroplet Scoring Works
The evidence gates, opportunity factors, effort costs, and risk signals behind the Airdroplet score.
The score is a research priority
A score estimates whether a project deserves attention relative to the rest of the index. It is not a forecast of token price or a promise that an airdrop will happen. Strong projects can have weak airdrop evidence, and confirmed distributions can still be poor opportunities after cost and effort.
What pushes a score up
- Direct, current evidence of a points program, eligibility system, claim, or incentive.
- A clear participation path that can be verified on an official domain.
- Credible team, product use, funding, and ecosystem support.
- Attractive potential upside relative to cost, time, and smart-contract exposure.
- Recent official signals that keep the opportunity live.
What pushes a score down
- No direct opportunity evidence beyond community rumor.
- High capital requirements, repeated transaction costs, or unclear task completion.
- Stale research, closed snapshots, finished distributions, or abandoned campaigns.
- Security, legal, sybil, team, token-design, or execution risks.
Green, yellow, and red make the index scannable. The project page explains the status, evidence, and last research date that make the number meaningful.
