# AirDrop Initiation

**How does AirDrop work?**

AirDrop is a distribution method where tokens or cryptocurrencies are given to holders of a specific blockchain's existing tokens. It's a way to reward or promote a new project or token by distributing it to a community of users. \
\
Essentially, it's a way to distribute tokens for free to a targeted audience as a form of marketing or to build a user base. The recipients usually receive these tokens in their wallets without any cost. It's a common strategy to increase awareness and participation in a blockchain project.

**Once I've got my $CROC stake, when do I get the Airdrop?**

CrocBot accompanies you through the entire AirDrop farming process. Our bot takes care of making your address perform a set of actions and interactions that are 100% automatic in order to make it eligible. \
\
CrocBot is not, however, responsible for the distribution date chosen by ZkSync. It's quite possible that AirDrop will occur in 2 weeks' time, just as it's possible that it will occur in 6 months' time. \
In any case, once you've bought and staked your CROCs and deposited 0.05 ETH on each swarms address, all you have to do is wait.<br>
