Differences between Bounty Hunters and Airdrop Hunters

Learn more about airdrop hunting and check out our new awesome airdrop tasker at Cocoricos.io.

There are so many ways to make money in the cryptocurrency space that sometimes even veteran traders or HODLers haven’t really looked into bounty and airdrop hunting, but they should. It’s a land of opportunity out there for those who know what they’re doing — here’s what you need to know.

Bounty Hunters

Bounty hunters get in on the ground floor of an ICO and earn discount cryptocurrencies by marketing or otherwise working for the project in the pre-sale stage.

Think of a bounty hunter like a freelance worker — the difference being that instead of aiming to make some money in cash upfront, their plan is to make a lot of money in ICO or crypto tokens over time.

Sometimes this means lucrative bug bounties in which software experts have made over $100k in 24 hours by finding code vulnerabilities — more commonly, however, bounty hunters are social media influencers and digital marketers writing articles, making helpful Youtube tutorials, or tweeting to their followers about the project.

This obviously comes with a risk. You need to know which companies to trust, and it can be a lot of work for no upfront payment — typically bounty hunting is most rewarding for professionals or influencers with major followings. While you could absolutely succeed at writing and marketing content or even becoming an influencer yourself, digital marketing and influencing aren’t for everyone — and that’s where airdrops come in.

Airdrop Hunters

Crypto developers generally want as many people to use their token as possible to spread awareness and expand their network, so they often give out free tokens just for claiming them. This is often as simple as providing your email address or likes on social media in exchange for free tokens that may one day be worth a fortune — imagine claiming the airdrop tokens of a future top ten cryptocurrency!



Sometimes there are a few more hoops to jump through and people are required to enroll other airdrop hunters for rewards or claim tokens every hour via telegram, which can be quite time-consuming.

While some airdrops have paid out hundreds of dollars at a time, they pay less on average than bounties meaning it’s necessary to claim from as many quality projects as possible and avoid dud tokens that can be multiplied beyond the hard cap or that will simply die shortly after receiving them.

Following so many projects means monitoring a lot of different personal accounts, projects, open tabs, and assigned airdrop tasks.

What they have in common

If there’s one thing that bounty and airdrop hunters both need, it’s good intel. The amount of airdrops and bounties out there is staggering, and many of them are from projects that either can’t be trusted to pay, shouldn’t be trusted with your KYC details, or simply don’t have valuable tokens to offer, meaning that hunters can waste so much time that they never get anywhere.



That’s where Cocoricos comes in — when you sign up you’ll receive all the latest offers from trusted, vetted developers, and it’s free.



Once you register, you can research promising projects, sign-up for your favorite airdrops, and track the best tokens. With the Cocoricos’ airdrop tasker, grabbing good tokens is a breeze.
