How does airdrop work?

AirDrop will automatically detect nearby supported devices, and the devices only need to be close enough to establish a good Wi-Fi connection, making it possible to share files across several rooms. One advantage to AirDrop is the use of Wi-Fi to make the connection. Some apps provide a similar file sharing capability using Bluetooth.

Are airdrops a scam?

The airdrop is meant to spread awareness and increase ownership of the currency startup.

Airdrops may be based on those who express interest, hold existing tokens, are intentionally selected, or win raffles.
