How to Farm Airdrops in a Bear Market

Bear markets slow speculation, but they accelerate genuine builders. Airdrop farming during downturns lets you accumulate positions in projects that will launch tokens during the next cycle.

Focus on protocols with real usage: DEXes, L2 bridges, restaking primitives, and social/consumer apps. Spread capital across chains — Base, Solana, Hyperliquid, and Arbitrum currently host the deepest testnet incentive programs.

Track your on-chain footprint with a dedicated wallet, and rotate gas across ecosystems weekly. The compounded effect of small, consistent actions is what separates the top-earning farmers from casual participants.
