Wait for Uniswap Coin Airdrops
Uniswap has seasonal airdrops, with one that recently happened in 2024. These airdrops can qualify Uniswap users from $400 or more in $UNI coins.
What is an airdrop?
An airdrop is an official release of a token for free to participating users. Airdrops are promoted by crypto entities who wish to either:
-
Promote awareness to their new token or project
-
Reward early adopters or users or
-
Stimulate use of the platform or service (in this case, the use of Uniswap)
While airdrops are timely, there are things you could do on the Uniswap platform to better qualify your account, and set yourself up for the next potential airdrop:
-
Use the Uniswap platform, whether its swapping from one blockchain to another
-
If Uniswap comes out with a new project, test it out
-
Participate in events online or in-person (e.g crypto conferences)
Usually airdrops are easy to claim, however how much you would get from the airdrop usually always depends on how much value you put into the platform first. I would also advise caution when searching for airdrops, as there are many scammers who may seem legit (even using Uniswaps name), but are completely false.
Go Uniswap Liquidity Mining
Uniswap mining might get confused with crypto mining, however it is a completely different scenerio. It is actually very similar to airdrops, however in a more unique, personalized way. Depending on your actions and the value you put towards Uniswap, the more liquidity you get through the platform.
This is more known as liquidity mining. Lets say you add liquidity to the platform, you do this by adding cryptocurrencies to Uniswaps liquidity pools. This adds value to these pools, which in return, you earn rewards. Kind of like earning rewards on Freecash for playing games for new or experienced publishers.
Rewards from Uniswap liquidity pools usually means free $UNI coins, promoted coins, or free trading fees. So if I could give you my best advice, being directly active in Uniswaps liquidity pools is the fastest way to getting free Uniswap coins.
Earn Other Free Crypto Coins and Trade it for $UNI
While you can get free Uniswap coins directly from Uniswap resources, you can also get free crypto in other platforms. You can do this by participating in other airdrops, claiming free NFTs and selling them, or play games on web3 platforms (like Gam3s.gg) or on rewarded platforms like Freecash.
With Freecash, you can play mobile games (off-chain) that are legit and safe. Freecash hosts many large publishers as well, offering rewards to play games like Monopoly GO. The more you play, the more you earn. The point here it to help game developers providing them with gameplay data, while you get paid in cryptocurrency for it.
Here is how you usually get started on Freecash:
-
1
Sign up to Freecash using your email or Google account
-
2
Complete offers by playing games, taking surveys, or watching videos
-
3
Cashout in cryptocurrency to your crypto wallet
-
4
Swap for $UNI currency once you receive your reward
Freecash offers a pool of great cryptocurrency options at payout, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin. Ultimately, you can also use Stake to get up to a 30% bonus for each payout. Its easy from here to swap your free Ethereum or other currency to Uniswap coins.
Participate in Crypto Communities
Crypto communities can be easy to join, especially if you are proactive in web3 gaming development, hackathons, or workshops for particular cryptocurrencies. To find these communities, you first need to find them on social media like X or Warpcaster.
Once you join communities, being a participant in live events, engaging with users, and being an investor will typically give you the access to rewards. Community management love to incentivize their users with free crypto, so the more you are involved, the higher chances you have to getting free Uniswap coins.
A tip I would give as a fellow Uniswap user: Don't go fo rjust any community, find the ones who actively promote Uniswap by going to the Uniswap X account and researching its commenters, advertisers, and followers. From here, usually you will find decent communities that love Uniswap just as much as you do!
