1. Trading market
The trading market is the most important part of the NFT ecosystem, and it is only valuable to allow NFT to flow. The previous X2Y2 and LooksRare both used the "vampire attack" model to airdrop users, and the one being attacked was naturally Opensea, which was sitting firmly in the lead. The main reason is that in addition to Opensea being criticized for not issuing coins, its market share is much larger than other trading markets.
However, Elemnet and Blur, which recently launched governance tokens, conducted airdrops to users of several platforms such as Opensea, Gem, and X2Y2. The difference from before is that due to the lower fees of other platforms and the new function of free choice of royalties, It also occupies a large market share and users.
At present, in order to obtain airdrops in the NFT trading market in the future, the most fundamental condition is the previous NFT trading volume. Secondly, officially issued NFTs like the anniversary NFT launched by Zorb are also worth collecting, and holding blue-chip NFTs such as BAYC and Azuki may also have airdrops, but the cost is too high.

Although the Airdrop1 airdrop was carried out, the subsequent Airdrop2 is also worth participating in, and Paradigm has received tens of millions of financing. Airdrop2, which opened in November, calculates the treasure chests and rarity you get by interaction (pending orders, buying and selling) and loyalty.

Simple page, not so many advertisements in OS, integrated GEM supports batch multi-platform ordering, floor sweeping functions, and can calculate appropriate pricing for users according to the rarity of NFT. Compared with Sudoswap’s one-size-fits-all approach to project royalties, Blur uses the same method as X2Y2 to allow users to freely choose how much royalties to pay. The difference is that Blur will encourage users to pay royalties through airdrop incentives.
Completed a $50 million seed round of financing at a valuation of $600 million. Founded in 2020 by three Coinbase veterans, Zora is focused on building an open-source protocol that allows anyone to build an NFT marketplace. Unlike OpenSea or Coinbase’s NFT marketplace, the company does not use a centralized database to manage NFTs, but an open on-chain protocol.
Airdrop strategy:
V3：https://docs.zora.co/docs/v3-overview
Airdrop strategy:
1. Create NFT on Zora and give yourself royalties. It is recommended to create your own by buying and selling NFT, because most of the others require additional royalties, plus a 2.5% handling fee, which is quite expensive. However, using the ones created by yourself may not be counted, so it is still suitable for NFT players to interact.
2. Purchase Zorb NFT (official anniversary NFT), the total number is only 56,000. Snapshot has initiated a proposal before, and those who hold Zorb can participate in voting. After the official Discord certification, there is also an exclusive identity group. The current price is also Around 0.015E, you can buy one, the ATH reached 0.05E before.

Layer2: Second-tier market
The largest NFT trading market on Optimism has officially released many NFTs, and it is also the NFT trading market with the most interaction with Optimism official push. Recently, it also supports the NFT cross-chain function.
Stratos：https://stratosnft.io/
The largest NFT trading market on Arbitrum, the interesting one is also developed by the Quix team.
Opensea integrated the NFT markets of Arbitrum and Optimism some time ago, which still has some impact on the above two. After all, when the platform fees are the same, users naturally prefer to use a more complete trading market. And Quix may only regain its users by issuing tokens.
Airdrop strategy: trade NFT on the platform/hold official NFT.
Aptos: Mainnet Marketplace
A few days ago, Aptos officially launched the main network. With the increase in popularity, the NFT trading market on Aptos also has a good trading volume.

2. Derivative agreement
1.Fractional：https://fractional.art/
The NFT Fragmentation Protocol, which has completed tens of millions of dollars in financing, aims to make the expensive NFT flow through fragmentation. Specifically, after locking the NFT in the contract, minting tokens to the user, allowing the user to build liquidity, in order to allow the NFT to flow.
At present, it intends to provide interfaces for other applications as the underlying protocol. The official also said that it will not update the front end in the future, but will instead focus on the technology. However, the possibility of issuing coins is still very high, and you can use the application that integrates this technology to interact with it. The official has distributed POAP and NFT before, but they are quite expensive, and you can buy them according to your own situation.
PS: To purchase Punk#7171's fragmented tokens, you can go to the Discord authentication group.
2.Partybid：https://www.partybid.app/
Relying on the NFT crowdfunding platform built by Fractional, A16Z has obtained tens of millions of dollars in token financing, and announced the initial token economic model in Snapshot. Roughly, a party is created to raise ETH to purchase NFT, and then the NFT is fragmented through Fractional, and then the participants receive it, manage it, and use it as a certificate to get back the ETH after the NFT is sold.
Snapshot：https://snapshot.org/#/partydao.eth
Airdrop strategy: create/join a party and receive tokens for governance. Due to the liquidity problem of NFT, it is not easy to withdraw the invested ETH in a short period of time. In addition to the handling fees charged by NFT exchanges and PartyBid and the possible price drop of NFT, the cost is relatively high.
3.Fair：https://fair.xyz/
An NFT start-up platform funded by Opensea, founded by a group of engineers from Meta, Instagram and Goldman Sachs, providing creators and collectors with one-stop services, collection homepage, minting integration, chain deployment, pre-sale access, metadata Generation, marketplace royalties, showcase experiences and licensed lists, and more.

3. DAO and Metaverse
Industry giant Yuga Labs is building a metaverse based on its NFT, and airdropped land NFT and APE tokens for its NFT holders earlier, which is of great natural value. And Moonbirds also announced not long ago that it will establish a DAO in early 2023, and it has already planned to issue tokens before.
When a certain NFT brand and community matures and grows, neither the initiator nor the members will be satisfied with the fact that the NFT is just a picture, Metaverse is the best choice, and issuing tokens like Yuga Labs, in addition to allowing In addition to having its own currency system, the universe can also allow more users who do not hold NFT to participate.
With the advent of the NFT winter, many well-known NFT brands have accepted investment. With investment, they may build their own metaverse, and the establishment of DAO and the issuance of tokens may also become popular.
The GOO model proposed by Paradigm can allow the NFT community to issue tokens very well, but it does not damage the long-term interests of NFT holders, but instead makes token holders and NFT holders closer. For the specific operation method, please refer to the official document.

The cost required to ambush the possible airdrop of NFT is huge, and the risk of devaluation of holding NFT is also expensive. Metaverse is a key step in the future development of NFT, and it is also the greatest empowerment of NFT. However, the volatility of NFT is well known, and individual participation requires high capital and time. It is not recommended for everyone to participate, except for professional players.
In general, the NFT airdrop track focuses on the trading market, including two out of three airdrops in the past. Compared with other tracks, the cost of the NFT track is the highest, and it is also the most difficult for ordinary players to participate in. The cost of personal participation must be calculated, and non-professional players should not rush to the secondary market.
