I got $300 from Starknet for doing nothing […] The airdrops are mainly to: - Distribute ownership of the token (where distribution is eventually a measure of fairness of launch e.g. imagine if Bitcoin had been airdropped to opensource contributors when it was valued at <$1. It's currently valued at >$50k.). - Incentivize work on opensource projects. (Some people got large airdrops merely for PRs where they corrected typos (lol!). But "large" is relative to how much you value your own efforts and time. Blockchain companies believe opensource contributions are very valuable and want to encourage more people to keep working.)
