What Are Retrodrops?

Retrodrops are a type of reward in the cryptocurrency and Web3 space, where projects distribute free tokens to users who supported or interacted with their platform before a certain date—typically during early or test phases. These drops act as a way to thank early adopters, drive community loyalty, and decentralize ownership. They're often unexpected and can sometimes be quite valuable, especially if the project gains traction. To maximize chances of receiving a retrodrop, users often interact with new dApps, testnet platforms, and DeFi protocols early and frequently.
