Native token airdrops are distribution mechanisms within blockchain ecosystems where a project distributes its native tokens directly to existing or potential users, typically as a promotional strategy, reward, or incentive to foster community engagement and adoption. These airdrops can serve to decentralize token ownership, incentivize participation, or raise awareness about new projects or features.
