If you want to be in pole position to receive free cryptocurrency tokens, you will need to have an active cryptocurrency wallet, most likely an ERC20 ethereum wallet as most tokens are now issued in this format. You'll also need to be registered with one of the five top cryptocurrency exchanges who regularly offer token airdrops.

1. Binance

This is a relatively new but very popular Hong Kong exchange, which actively supports blockchain start-ups with cryptocurrency funding, and has frequent airdrops for new projects.

2. KuCoin

This is a Chinese exchange that specialises in new and undervalued cryptocurrencies, giving new products with a low market capitalisation a boost with valuable airdrop publicity.

3. HitBTC

This Hong Kong-based global trading platform has been operating since 2013 and is well established in the industry. It supports multiple fiat and digital currencies and frequently channels airdrops.

4. Bitfinex

This is another Hong Kong based exchange, which has gained a lot of publicity with OmiseGo (OMG) token airdrops, but others are also offered.

5. LiteBit

This is a European cryptocurrency exchange based in The Netherlands, which hosts a wide variety of Bitcoin and other wallets, and airdrops tokens on a regular basis.
