The simplest meaning of an airdrop is ​when​ ​a particular​ ​blockchain project distribute​s ​free​ ​tokens or​ ​coins ​to​ ​the​ crypto ​community. The initial or most important requirement to​ ​get ​airdrop often​ ​is​ ​that​ ​you​ ​have​ ​coins from the relevant blockchain stored​ ​in​ ​your​ ​wallet.

Since these Airdrops are for EOS holders and the primary requirement to get these free Airdrop tokens/coins is to hold your EOS tokens in the [MEW](https://www.myetherwallet.com/) (My ether wallet) wallet or other specified wallet mentioned on the [EOS website](https://eos.io/instructions), so you must have to transfer your EOS coins to the wallets and registered them to the ethereum address before within 23 hours after the end of the final period on June 1, 2018 at 22:59:59 UTC.

All the information available on [EOS website](https://eos.io/instructions) but here are few posts you must follow in order to do in correct way:

### 2. [eosDAC](https://eosdac.io/)
A Decentralised Autonomous Community (DAC) is governed by it’s constitution, which is encoded in smart contracts on the blockchain. The DAC is controlled by it’s token holders and the board members they vote to run it’s operations.

75% of eosDAC tokens (900,000,000) have been allocated for an airdrop to EOS token holders.

### 3. [Scatter(RIDL)](http://airdrop.scatter-eos.com/#/landing)
RIDL ( or Reputation and Identity Layer ) is a sister system to Scatter that provides Identity verification across all networks and reputation tied to those Identities. It's primary purpose is to help users make educated decisions about the security of the applications.

Every EOS holder inside of the final EOS genesis file will receive 40 RIDL Tokens. You do not have to reserve your name to receive the airdrop, your tokens will be provided for you when you create an Identity from Scatter regardless of reservation. You will still need to register an Identity with RIDL in the future in order to claim the tokens. The tokens will not be given on the Ethereum chain, they will only be dispensed when the Identity is created on the live EOS mainnet (i.e June 1, 2018).
