Dustswap airdrop goes live

Dustswap’s first airdrop is now live, and the project is telling Base users to check eligibility before they connect a wallet. (app.dustswap.wtf) The claim page says the drop is for wallets “already active on Base,” and that users can paste any Base wallet address to preview rewards before signing in. It also says claims only work for the wallet that is connected after sign-in. (app.dustswap.wtf) Dustswap says it checks a wallet’s “Baseapp Power user footprint” first and then falls back to Base onchain activity on the backend. The app labels the giveaway a “PP airdrop,” referring to Particle Points, the reward points used across Dustswap’s quests and profile system. (app.dustswap.wtf, app.dustswap.wtf/quests) An airdrop is a token or points giveaway tied to past activity, and Dustswap is framing this one around behavior that already happened on Base rather than an automatic send to every wallet. The project’s live interface asks users to run their own eligibility check instead of promising universal distribution. (app.dustswap.wtf, crypto.com) Dustswap is built as a Base-focused mini app that combines swapping, quests, streaks, referrals, and a leaderboard. On Base’s app directory, it is listed as a “swap and bridge aggregator, with social quest and reward for base community.” (app.dustswap.wtf, base.app) Base is Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 network and app ecosystem, and its current pitch to builders centers on apps that help users create, earn, trade, and discover onchain services. Base’s documentation also says registered apps can receive automatic transaction attribution through Builder Codes inside the Base App. (base.org, blog.base.org, docs.base.org) Dustswap’s quest board shows how the project has been tracking participation before this drop. Users can earn Particle Points for social actions like linking an X account and for onchain tasks, and the profile hub ranks wallets by total PP, volume, and referrals. (app.dustswap.wtf/quests, app.dustswap.wtf/profile) The app is also using the airdrop to pull users deeper into its referral loop. A referral code shown on the live site says it “will activate when you claim your PP airdrop,” tying distribution to a signed-in claim flow rather than a passive snapshot alone. (app.dustswap.wtf, app.dustswap.wtf/?ref=DUST-LZY0J) For users, the immediate takeaway is simple: Dustswap is asking wallets to verify eligibility first, preview rewards with an address lookup, and only then decide whether to connect and claim.
