Solana's low fees make airdrop farming cheap, but the winning strategy is still genuine, sustained use of credible protocols rather than hundreds of rushed transactions.

Set up a dedicated wallet with a few dollars of SOL for fees, and keep your main holdings in a separate wallet that never touches new apps.

Focus on real activity: swaps, liquidity provision, lending, NFT mints, and staking across a handful of live projects over weeks or months.

Watch for Solana-specific scams: fake claim sites, malicious NFT mints, and drainer links that appear within hours of real announcements.

Expect most efforts to earn little or nothing, and treat farming as low-cost learning with occasional upside, not reliable income.
