Launchpool vs. Airdrop for holders: what's the difference?

Beginner's ABC

 28 February, 2025

Launchpool and Airdrop are quite similar concepts for holders, let's look at what they have in common and what the difference is between them.

Binance Launchpool

Launchpool

  • This is a mechanism that allows users to "farm" new tokens by staking (freezing) other assets.
  • Typically used on exchanges (e.g. Binance Launchpool).
  • The more tokens staked, the more new tokens you receive.
  • The duration of the campaign can be several weeks or months.
  • Pros: No need to buy a new asset, just stake your funds.
  • Cons: Liquidity may be blocked for a certain period.

Airdrop for holders

Airdrop for holders

  • This is a free token distribution to owners of certain assets (for example, if you hold token A, you get token B).
  • The reward depends on the number of tokens you already have.
  • Often carried out by projects to promote the token or reward loyal investors.
  • Pros: You don't need to do anything, just have the asset in your wallet.
  • Cons: The airdrop can be small, and there is also a risk of the value of the distributed tokens decreasing after listing.

The main difference:

  • Launchpool is an active process (you have to stake assets).
  • Airdrop is passive (you just get a bonus for holding).

Which is better? It depends on the strategy: if you are ready to stake assets for a reward – Launchpool, if you just want to get a bonus – Airdrop.
