I should have formulated my question better: is there a way for those airdropping to know the owners of the tokens? I do not see how this could work on Cardano. In Ethereum each NFT-owner would be known through the contract

By owner you mean the person holding the NFT?

Yes, that is what I meant. Is there a record of who owns what?

No, the persons owning the wallets are not known. Is there any blockchain where that is public information?

<p>Since NFTs on Cardano do not belong to a contract, how can token holders be rewarded with an airdrop? Do they need to request it themselves by showing proof of ownership?</p>
