Detailed Guide on How to Hunt for Metamask Airdrops (Most Comprehensive)
Back in December 2020, Binance conducted one of the largest airdrop events in history, distributing Trust Wallet Tokens (TWT) worth millions of USD. At that time, each wallet received up to $100 TWT. As of now, with TWT priced at approximately $2, such wallets have received an airdrop value of up to $200.
What if Metamask were to release its own token? Currently valued at $7 billion, a Metamask airdrop could potentially be one of the largest ever.
Is Metamask really launching a token? According to reports in March 2022, Metamask has reached 30 million monthly active users, solidifying its position as the most popular crypto wallet.

Also in March 2022, Joe Lubin, founder of Consensys (which owns Metamask), confirmed plans for a token launch.
MetaMask is already well-known, but what about MetaMask Bridge? At the time of writing, the total transaction volume has exceeded $15 million, with over 25,000 users and nearly 47,000 transactions conducted.
Polygon is the chain with the highest transaction volume, with over 16,000 transactions (due to low fees and fast transaction speeds).
Transaction volume on MetaMask Bridge surged on November 16, likely due to increasing interest in Metamask airdrops.
In summary: While it's uncertain whether Metamask will have a token airdrop, "better safe than sorry." Who knows, this could be an airdrop opportunity that changes everything!
On Twitter, Gamefinity has provided a thread guiding users through these tasks. For a more detailed and visual guide, here's a comprehensive walkthrough:
Step-by-Step Guide to Hunt for Metamask Airdrops
Step 1: Preparation
Install Metamask wallet. If you're unsure how, see instructions here.
Currently, Metamask's bridge supports conversion across 4 main chains: Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche. Therefore, you'll need coins/tokens from one of these 4 chains for fees and as tokens for the bridge.
Additionally, you can use USDT, USDC, DAI (minimum $30) as tokens for the bridge.
Specific example: I've prepared $40 consisting of $2 MATIC, $35 USDT, and $2 BNB.
Rest assured, it only costs around $3 in fees, the rest can be withdrawn.

Step 5: Donate via Gitcoin
Gitcoin supports rewarding developers contributing to open-source software projects.
They receive appropriate compensation for their work.
This helps foster a stronger open-source developer community.
Currently, you can donate via Ethereum, Polygon, and Layer 2 zkSync. The recent Optimism airdrop event has made Gitcoin more active than ever.
Specifically, during that event, each wallet would receive 555.92 OP if donated to the project on Gitcoin.
Gitcoin is owned by Consensys, so you can add this step to increase your chances of receiving an airdrop:
