Potential Airdrop Projects to Follow in 2024

With the successful issuance of the Starknet token, many participants are looking for the next promising project. For those who missed this opportunity, there are still some projects in 2024 that are worth investing time and energy in. This article will introduce 7 projects to follow, including some potential airdrop projects that the market is anticipating, projects that have announced airdrop plans, and some zero-cost interactive projects that are in the testnet phase.

Confirmed Airdrop Projects

Linea

Linea is a zk-rollup solution designed to provide developers with a development experience similar to Ethereum while offering users lower transaction costs. The project has launched multiple Odyssey events and recently introduced Linea Park. Users can earn LXP by completing tasks. Participation requires verification through POH (Proof of Humanity), which, although cumbersome, may reduce the risk of being attacked later.

Kroma

Kroma is a general ZK Rollup based on the Optimism Bedrock architecture, currently deployed on the Sepolia testnet. The project has announced its tokenomics, planning to issue tokens in 2024, with 7% allocated to the community. The recently concluded Odyssey event offered various participation methods, including using the official cross-chain bridge, ecological cross-chain bridges, providing liquidity, and purchasing domain names.

Potential Projects

Scroll

Scroll is the native zkEVM Layer 2 solution of Ethereum, providing native compatibility with existing Ethereum applications and tools. By processing transactions off-chain and publishing concise correctness proofs on-chain, Scroll achieves higher throughput and lower costs.

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 second-layer scaling solution developed by Matter Labs that leverages zero-knowledge proof technology to preserve the security attributes 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 on par with Starknet. Considering Starknet's success, the development of these projects is worth following closely. When participating, it is advisable to maintain a longer active duration (at least 3 months) and an appropriate wallet balance.

Testnet Project

Berachain

Berachain is an EVM-compatible L1 based on DeFi, built on top of the Cosmos SDK. The project is valued at $420 million, led by Polychain. Berachain launched the Artio public testnet in January, quickly attracting a large number of users.

Participation methods include:

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

Fuel

Fuel is a UTXO-based modular execution layer aimed at providing globally accessible scalability for Ethereum. The project secured $80 million in funding and launched its beta-4 testnet last September.

The steps to participate in the testnet include:

• Create Fuel wallet
• Claim test tokens
• Use the swayswap platform
• Create Domain

These projects showcase different innovations and potentials, making it worthwhile to closely follow their development trends and possible Airdrop opportunities. However, one should act cautiously when participating in any project and fully understand the associated risks.
