Scoring rules

Score

Scores rank airdrop opportunities by evidence, cost, effort and risk. They don’t predict token prices or payouts. Only full dossiers get ranked; thin records stay unranked.

Tiers: S 90–100 · A 78–89 · B 60–77 · C 30–59 · D below 30.

Evidence gate

A dossier needs a sourced, dated campaign, a concrete task, fee and capital estimates, a research date, project context, and a verdict that says who should do it and who should skip. Until then: Discovered, Researching or Research brief.

Status

• Points only: a program exists. Token conversion and allocation aren’t proven.
• Confirmed reward: a reward is published. Check the claim window separately.
• Checker open: an official eligibility checker exists. Your wallet may not qualify.
• Claim open: an official claim path exists.
• Closed / distributed: the tracked window or distribution ended. Future campaigns are separate.
• Unknown: evidence doesn’t establish the state. Funding and hype don’t count as reward rules.

Sources and dates

Claim URLs, allocations, deadlines and conversion rules need project-owned sources. Reporting adds context; community posts are leads. A fresh date requires a real review.

Recheck active campaigns, claims and checkers at least every 30 days, before deadlines and when official status changes. Conflicting sources lower confidence.

Score up

• Current evidence of points, eligibility, claims or incentives.
• A clear task path on an official domain.
• Credible team, product use, funding and ecosystem support.
• Potential upside that justifies the time, fees and contract risk.
• Recent official activity that keeps the opportunity live.

Score down

• Rumours without direct evidence.
• High capital, recurring fees or unclear tasks.
• Stale research, closed snapshots, ended or abandoned campaigns.
• Security, legal, sybil, team, token-design or execution risk.

Corrections and referrals

Airdroplet Research owns the review. Material corrections belong on the project page with a date, change and source. Report an error or broken domain.

Referral links are labeled. They don’t change scores or confidence. We don’t accept payment for favourable scores; every listing faces the same evidence gate.
