# 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>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://crocbot.gitbook.io/crocbot-or-airdrop-farming-tools/crocbot-ecosystem/airdrop-initiation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
