Key insight: The average per-recipient payout across all 2024 airdrops was just $60 — dragged down by thousands of tiny task campaigns. The real money is in S-tier protocols (Hyperliquid, Uniswap class) where early users earned $1,400–$10,000+. Pool size alone does not predict your payout — the number of eligible wallets is equally important.
Pool Size vs. Per-User Payout
A $107M pool sounds large. Whether that translates to a meaningful per-user amount depends on two things: how many wallets are eligible, and whether the project uses a flat or tiered distribution.
Flat distribution
MegaETH $107M ÷ 100,000 wallets = $1,070 avg
Best case: few eligible wallets, large pool
Tiered distribution
Top 10% get 60% of pool. Bottom 50% share 10%.
Most real airdrops — early users earn 10–100x more
Points-based
Hyperliquid: points scaled by trading volume. Top users got $50,000+.
