Start Here · About Airdrop Hunter
Plain talk first: this site is made by a bunch of people who got burned farming airdrops and only slowly figured out how it actually works. Below, we lay out one by one who we are, how we write, where we stand, and what keeps us alive — read it, then decide whether to trust us.
Who we are
The Airdrop Hunter editorial team has no glamorous origin story. At first we were just a few ordinary users in a group chat asking each other things like "should I approve this?" and "why hasn't my withdrawal arrived yet?" Someone trying on-chain interaction for the first time picked the wrong network and sent their coins to the wrong chain, then spent ages clawing them back; someone chasing a freebie clicked a "claim airdrop" link and nearly signed away everything in their wallet. Get burned enough times and, ironically, you start to actually understand this stuff.
Later we noticed that English-language content about farming tends to be either hype and empty promises, or a wall of machine-translated jargon that leaves you more confused than before — genuinely hands-on writing that puts the risks up front is rare. So we wrote down the steps we'd verified and walked through ourselves, and that became this site.
About the name "Lin Yue"
Articles on this site are bylined "Lin Yue · Airdrop Hunter Editorial Team." We have to be upfront here: Lin Yue is an editorial pen name, not some real "expert" named Lin Yue. We won't invent titles for it like "ten years in blockchain," "former engineer at such-and-such exchange," or "finance master's from a top university" — because those would be fake, and dressing yourself up with a fake résumé is exactly the kind of content we have the least respect for.
The content is checked collectively by the editorial team, and we use a single pen name purely for ease of writing. If you trust an article, it should be because it gets the steps right and tells you the risks in full — not because the byline carries a string of intimidating credentials.
If you ever see "Lin Yue" elsewhere wrapped in a long list of expert accolades, that's most likely not us, and not authorized by us. Everything we have to say about our own credentials is in the two paragraphs above.
Why we built this site
The motive is pretty plain: to help beginners lose less money.
Farming looks low-barrier, but the real cost often isn't how much gas you spent — it's losing an entire wallet over one unremarkable action. The trips beginners take most often — wrong network, screenshotting a private key, connecting and approving the moment they see a "high-yield airdrop" — are all avoidable in advance. What we want to do is mark out the mines before you step on them, and demonstrate the right way through once.
At bottom, a genuine user who steadily lands a few airdrops goes further than a "sybil farmer" who runs fifty accounts only to get wiped out in bulk by the project. The whole body of content on this site is written around one thing: how to be a genuine user who survives.
How we write
A few rules we've set for ourselves:
For anything operational, we try to walk it ourselves first. To explain "how to withdraw gas from the exchange to a Web3 wallet," we actually run that step, noting where it's easy to get stuck and which prompt is easy to miss — rather than copying from someone else's article. Where we've walked it through, we flag it in the piece with a small "editorial hands-on" block.
Data goes by the platform's current page. Trading fees, confirmation counts, points rules, event terms — these change, and often. So in our articles you'll mostly see "a range, and go by what Binance's page shows." We deliberately don't hard-code an exact figure — hard-coding it would only mislead you. For protocol-level facts that rarely change (say, Ethereum producing a slot roughly every 12 seconds, or a seed phrase usually being 12 or 24 words), we'll state them directly.
We don't fabricate returns. No lines like "tested it for three days and made eight grand," and no predicting how much a project's next airdrop will pay or when it'll drop. We can explain the mechanics; the actual numbers we leave to the market and the official page.
Where we stand
There are a few things we're clear about and won't fudge:
We only teach single-wallet, genuine participation. We won't teach you to spin up dozens or hundreds of accounts and farm sybils. For one, in 2026 projects routinely run multi-account detection, and batches of small accounts mostly get wiped out in one sweep — wasted effort. For another, that's gambling and freeloading by nature, which is the opposite of the "steadily be a genuine user" message we're trying to pass on.
Safety first. If there's one more risk worth flagging, we won't skip it. In anti-scam and wallet-security pieces, we deliberately push the conversion content further down and play it lighter — helping you avoid the pitfalls comes first.
No hype. We won't tell you farming is a sure-thing business. It takes time, it carries price volatility, and you may walk away with nothing. Laying the real expectations out for you, so you can judge whether it's worth it — that's what doing right by you looks like.
What keeps this site running
No hiding it: we live on referral fees from the exchange.
The "sign up for Binance" and "open a Web3 Wallet" buttons on this site all carry our Binance referral code BNB3469. If you sign up through that code, Binance pays us a referral fee for bringing in a new user.
The key point: that fee is paid by Binance, not skimmed off you. Signing up through our code never costs you a cent more than going direct — and on the contrary, a new account opened with this code gets a 20% discount on trading fees*. The reason we recommend Binance is that it genuinely is a convenient on/off-ramp and a handy place to open a Web3 wallet — but whether you use our code is entirely up to you, and you can read every article here without it.
* The fee discount rate is whatever Binance's page shows and may change with policy. Crypto prices are highly volatile — take part responsibly.
