导读：澳大利亚的EOS候选节点GenerEOS对爱西欧的演化过程进行了概述，同时采访了EOS Cafe的Syed。
Governments around the world have been cracking down on ICOs, and this could be one reason the airdrop model has gained widespread popularity.
If you give something away for free, there’s no regulatory risk involved. Airdropping your token into thousands or hundreds of thousands of wallets equals exposure and marketing reach. Of course your product or service has to be good in order to make any sort of difference, because now you’re competing with thousands of different coins.
世界各国政府一直在打击爱西欧，这可能是空投模式广受欢迎的原因之一。
如果你免费赠送一些东西，就不会涉及到监管风险。把你的代币空投到成千上万的钱包里，就相当于得到了曝光，以及扩大了营销范围。当然，你的产品或服务必须是过硬，这样才能产生不同的效果，因为你要和成千上万种的代币竞争。
On the EOS blockchain, new projects began airdropping their tokens into the genesis snapshot EOS wallets. Some of the early airdropped tokens were eosDAC, BLACK, IQ and KARMA. But, as the RAM prices shot up wildly, airdropping a large amount of tokens became prohibitively expensive. On EOS, developers have to buy RAM in order to do transactions on the blockchain, and sending airdrops became costly.
在EOS区块链上，新的项目开始将他们的代币空投到创世快照的EOS钱包中。早期空投过的一些代币比如eosDAC、BLACK、IQ和KARMA。但是，随着RAM价格的疯狂上涨，空投大量的代币变得非常昂贵。在EOS链上，开发人员必须购买RAM才能在区块链上交易和执行空投。
The high cost of RAM gave rise to an entirely new airdrop model, the airgrab. In the airgrab model, users consume their own small amount of RAM in order to get the free tokens. This model is much more economical for developers. In this model, only people who are either interested in the project, or super hungry for free tokens will bother to do the required steps to get the airgrab.
RAM的高成本催生了一种全新的空投模式，即糖果抓取。用户只会消耗他们自己的少量RAM，就能获取免费的代币。这种模型对开发人员来说更经济。在这个模型中，只有那些对项目感兴趣的人，或者是对免费代币极度渴望的人，才会费心去做必要的步骤来抓取空投的糖果。

The originator of the airgrab on EOS, as far as we know, is Syed of EOS Cafe Block, and the very first project to use the airgrab model was the POOR token, which we developed. We created the POOR token initially to test out the airgrab model, then we also sent it to reward people who voted for EOS Block Producers. You can airgrab a number of tokens using the tool we developed: https://eostoolkit.io/airgrab, which is compatible with the Scatter wallet. We created the EOSToolkit as a multi-purpose web interface that serves many needs for the EOS community.
据我们所知，EOS上的空投抓取的发起者是EOS Cafe Block的Syed，第一个使用该模型的项目正是我们开发的POOR通证。我们最初创建了POOR令牌来测试空投抓取模型，我们空投了一些奖励给投票支持EOS节点的人。你可以使用我们开发的工具eostoolkit来抓取空投代币 ，它也可以与Scatter钱包兼容。 我们为EOSToolkit创建了一个多功能的Web界面，满足EOS社区的多种需求。
Interview With Syed of EOS Cafe Block, Originator of the Airgrab Model
对空投抓取的发明者，EOS Cafe节点的Syed的采访
enerEOS: What series of events occurred that inspired you to create the concept of the “airgrab”?
GenerEOS: 哪些事情激发了你创造“airgrab”的灵感？
Syed:The airgrab idea came as a spark of ingenuity from Nathan Rempel from GenerEOS talking to me about how to make airdrops cheaper for developers.
Syed: Airgrab的想法来自GenerEOS的Nathan Rempel的聪明才智，当时他与我在谈论如何让开发人员降低空投成本。
G: Is there a story of how you thought of this?
G：能讲讲你是怎么想到这个的吗?
S: In the first few weeks of EOS, it became clear that there were airdrops that had a project behind them and others done for fun or spam.
In my mind, I had always imagined an airdrop to be similar to an airplane flying around the world parachuting down tokens to anyone and everyone. Instead of developers paying for these expensive airdrops to individuals that may not want the airdrop, splitting up the total cost among thousands of individuals was a natural progression.
For a small cost of 240 Bytes of RAM, you could grab different types of tokens that were interesting or valuable.
Instead of being dropped these tokens, you had the right to choose which tokens to grab, and that is where the idea of an airgrab came from.
S：在EOS上线的前几周里，有个很明显的现象，有一些空投的代币背后有真正的项目，而另一些空投则是为了好玩或发送垃圾邮件。
在我的脑海里，我一直想象着空投就像一架在世界各地飞行的飞机，向每个人空投代币。与其让开发人员为那些可能不需要空投的人支付昂贵的空投费用，将总的空投成本分摊给想要空投的人是一个合理的演化过程。
你只需要付出240字节的RAM的低成本，就可以获得各种类型的通证，而且他们很有趣或者很有价值。
你有权选择抓取哪些通证，而不是一股脑的被扔过来。这就是airgrab思路的来源。
您没有丢弃这些令牌，而是有权选择要抓取哪些令牌，这就是空袭的想法的来源。
G: What was the very first coin that became an airgrab?
G：第一个空投抓取的代币是哪个？
S: I believe the first ever token that became an Airgrab was the POOR token. It was essentially created by Nathan to popularize the methodology of carrying out an airgrab, and familiarizing end users to the concept. The project has been a great success, and airgrabs are now an essential cornerstone of the EOS ecosystem.
我觉得第一个以Airgrab形式发放的通证是POOR。它主要是由Nathan创建的，当时是为了推广airgrab的方法，让终端用户熟悉这一概念。该项目取得了巨大成功，airgrabs现已成为EOS生态系统的重要基石。
G: Is EOS the only blockchain that is using the airgrab concept, or is it gaining traction in other chains?
G：EOS是唯一可以使用airgrab概念的区块链吗？是否可以引申到其他链中？
S: EOS is the first blockchain that has popularized the concept and has used it successfully. Prior projects have attempted programs where users transfer a small amount of Ether to an account to cover the gas costs of transferring their token to the sender. These programs are not as intuitive for the end user and are permanent costs. With newer airdrops done through the open action, there is the ability to transfer away all your tokens and close your balance field to recover the initial RAM cost of the user.
S： EOS是第一个推广并成功使用airgrab概念的区块链。之前的项目尝试开发程序让用户将少量Ether转移到空投账户，以支付通证转账的gas费用。这些程序对终端用户来说并不直观，而且是这个成本是永久性的。通过打开操作完成空投的更新，他们可以转走你所有的代币并关闭你的账户字段，以抵销用户的初始RAM成本。
note: There have been dApp projects on STEEM that have been using the airgrab model, but they were not named airgrab. HUNT tokens are one example from the Steemhunt dApp.
注：STEEM上的dApp项目一直在使用airgrab模型，但它们并没有被命名为airgrab。Steem猎手类的dApp的其中一个例子就是HUNT通证。
