Receive free tokens on the XRP Ledger. Here's how airdrops work and how to position yourself to receive them.
Airdrops are free token distributions sent to XRPL wallet holders. Projects airdrop tokens to build community, reward early supporters, or distribute governance tokens. On the XRPL, receiving an airdrop requires having a trustline set for that token before the snapshot.
Never send XRP or tokens to "claim" an airdrop. Legitimate airdrops are sent directly to your wallet. If someone asks you to send funds first, it is a scam. Read the token safety guide to protect yourself.
Each trustline locks 0.2 XRP in reserve. If you're setting trustlines for potential airdrops, be strategic - focus on tokens with active communities and clear airdrop announcements rather than setting hundreds of random trustlines.
You can remove trustlines after selling the airdropped tokens to free up your 0.2 XRP reserve. See the trustline guide for details.
Set up your wallet and trustlines to be ready for the next airdrop.
