Almost nobody knows what the first recorded crypto airdrop was.
In 2014, Auroracoin launched what is widely regarded as the first recorded crypto airdrop.
The project allocated 50% of supply for a national distribution in Iceland.
Around 330,000 citizens were eligible to claim 31.8 AUR each.
The goal was simple:
put digital currency directly in people’s hands.
That was one of the earliest documented uses of “airdrop” in crypto.
Interesting where this all started.
