The upcoming Monad airdrop is projected to be underwhelming, with the highest tier potentially receiving only around $15,000, despite a pre-market Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) exceeding $5 billion. This contrasts sharply with projects like Meteora ($MET), which launched at a $350 million FDV and delivered six-figure airdrops to top contributors. Investors should temper expectations for significant returns from the Monad airdrop based on its high valuation and comparatively low airdrop value.
