# 🎁 Airdrops
### Airdrop Structure
A representative reward structure includes:
* **2 RICO every 10 hours**
Eligibility is typically based on one of the following:
* holding at least a minimum balance of RICO
* or having an active stake
### Why this matters
Airdrops create an additional incentive for:

* user retention
* recurring engagement
* low-friction ecosystem participation
* perceived activity and reward continuity
