Airdrop opportunities to follow in 2024

After the Starknrt Airdrop caused a sensation, many people began to look for the next promising project. This article will introduce several projects worth following in 2024, including some potential Airdrop projects that the market is looking forward to, confirmed Airdrop projects, and some zero-cost interaction projects that are still in the testing phase.

Confirmed Airdrop Projects

Linea

Linea is a zk-rollup solution that allows developers to deploy smart contracts and use development tools just like on Ethereum. It provides users with an Ethereum-level experience and security guarantees, but with lower transaction costs. Linea has recently launched several activities, including Odyssey and Linea Park, where users can earn LXP by completing tasks. Participation requires proof of POH, which also helps reduce the likelihood of witch attacks.

Kroma

Kroma is a general-purpose ZK Rollup based on the Optimism Bedrock architecture, developed by Lightscale. It initially utilized a Scroll-based zkEVM, operating as an Optimistic Rollup with ZK fault proof. Kroma plans to transition to a fully ZK Rollup when ZK proof generation becomes more efficient and faster. The project has announced its tokenomics, with tokens expected to be issued in 2024, of which 7% will be allocated to the community.

For users who missed the previous event, you may consider completing the following tasks to accumulate on-chain records:

• Use the official cross-chain bridge to transfer funds from the Ethereum mainnet.
• Experience third-party cross-chain bridges that support Kroma
• Provide liquidity on supported platforms
• Purchase domain names within the Kroma ecosystem
• Join the Discord community to get roles

Potential Projects

Scroll

Scroll is the native zkEVM Layer 2 solution for Ethereum, achieving native compatibility with existing Ethereum applications and tools. It enhances throughput and reduces costs by processing transactions off-chain and publishing succinct correctness proofs on-chain.

LayerZero

LayerZero is a cross-chain interoperability protocol designed for lightweight messaging across chains. It provides trusted and secure messaging with configurable trustless features.

zkSync

zkSync is a Layer 2 scaling solution developed by Matter Labs, utilizing the latest generation of zero-knowledge proof technology to maintain the security properties of the underlying blockchain. All funds are held by smart contracts on the main chain, while computation and storage are executed off-chain.

These three projects have always been regarded as top projects alongside Starknet. Users are advised to follow factors such as active duration (preferably over 3 months) and wallet balance to increase the chances of obtaining potential Airdrops.

Testnet Project

Berachain

Berachain is a DeFi-based EVM-compatible L1 built on the Cosmos SDK. The project is valued at $420 million, with $42 million in funding led by Polychain. Berachain recently launched the Artio public testnet, where users can participate in the following activities:

• Regularly receive test tokens
• Token exchange and liquidity provision on BEX
• Mint tokens on the Honey platform
• Participate in lending on the Bend platform (currently suspended for upgrades)
• Conduct contract trading on BERPS
• Complete the tasks on The Honey Jar to earn badges
• Create a domain name in Beranames

Fuel

Fuel is a UTXO-based modular execution layer designed to bring globally accessible scalability to Ethereum. As a modular execution layer, Fuel achieves global throughput that single-chain solutions cannot reach while maintaining Ethereum's security. The project has secured $80 million in funding and launched the beta-4 testnet in September.

The steps to participate in the Fuel testnet include:

• Create Fuel Wallet
• Claim test tokens
• Interact using swayswap
• Create Fuel ecosystem domain name

By participating in the testnets and activities of these projects, users can prepare for potential future Airdrops while also gaining a deeper understanding of emerging blockchain technologies and ecosystems.
