3. Crypto Social Media
Multiple blockchain-based platforms will reward you for creating contents to promote their platforms. For example, Binance can reward users for creating videos about their P2P feature.

Those who create contents for these Crypto platforms are often rewarded with the native coin of the platform. For example, Coin98 rewards with $C98.

4. Farming/Staking
Farming involves staking your crypto asset for some time in order to get rewards.

Staking is a way of locking away your asset in a cryptocurrency wallet for some time. You own it but can’t carry out any transaction with it.

In staking, you’re lending coins to a stake network in order to allow the network to maintain its security and verify transactions.

In a more traditional sense, it is like a fixed deposit account of a bank where you get rewarded after the time agreed elapses. Gateio has numerous staking deals. You can sign-up here: https://www.gate.io/signup/4885780

5. Airdrops and Forks
Airdrops and free tokens are distributed for campaign purposes. It’s done to create awareness about a project. Participants of an airdrop can claim a free coin which they can use to trade, invest or buy things if they wish.

On the other hand, fork is basically about getting a token or coin as a reward for HODLing another token or coin. For example, you can get $doge or $xec or $btt for free because you’re HODLing $bnb on Binance.
