Speculations Behind The Metamask Airdrop

We all know that this is the airdrop era, if you know you know, there are lots of chains on the blockchain where you get reward for interacting with the platform or blockchain, most of these platforms dont announce the airdrop but judging from their twitter post and some upgrades done on their platforms, people are beginning to take the hint and suspect that just may be there will be an airdrop. The latest one with so much speculations surrounding it is the metamask platform.

Some DEX wallets have their native tokens, look at the trust wallet app, it has its own token known as the trust wallet token, but I am not sure the token was distributed as an airdrop. Metamask is a dex wallet that is widely used, it should be the most used DEX wallet in the crypto space, and they made an upgrade on the metamask platform where you can swap from the metamask platform and also bridge tokens across the chains. This then sparked some speculations as people thought that just may be, that might be a criteria for an airdrop. After the arbitrum airdrop, the rate at which the hunt of airdrop increased. Now we have a lot of people trying to get into the airdrop hunting space and most of these airdrop hunting require liquidity for paying gas fees and performing transactions on the chain.

A rumour started where it was said that to be eligible for the metamask airdrop, you need to make up to $1,000 transactions on Metamask and this involves swapping and bridging and then it was said that snapshot was to be taken on 31st of this month. This got a lot of people doing these transactions including me, regardless of how expensive it is to bridge and swap on metamask, but we didn’t care because we were aiming to catch a bigger fish. Metamsk never announced about any airdrops, but cleared the air about the speculations of taking snapshot on 31st of march. Some people are making theirselves feel better for all the money spent on bridging by saying the reason swiping and bridging on metamsk is high is because Metamask will give it back through airdrop. Well, I have interacted with the blockchain just incase. This is not a financial advise.
