Potential Airdrop Projects to Follow in 2024

With the Starknrt Airdrop now open for claims and its listing on exchanges, many people have realized significant gains. This has not only made participants eager to find the next quality project but also caused those who missed the opportunity to not want to miss out again. So, which projects in 2024 are worth our time and effort?

This article will introduce 7 projects worth seizing in 2024, including potential airdrop projects that the market is looking forward to, projects that will clearly airdrop, and some zero-cost interactive projects that are still in the testnet phase.

Confirmed Airdrop Projects

Linea

Linea is a zk-rollup scaling solution that allows developers to deploy and develop smart contracts just like on Ethereum. For users, it provides the Ethereum experience and security guarantees, but with lower transaction costs.

Linea has launched multiple Odyssey events and recently introduced Linea Park. Users can earn LXP by completing tasks. Before participating in the event, it is necessary to prove through POH, which, although a cumbersome process, effectively reduces the possibility of witch attacks.

Kroma

Kroma is a general-purpose ZK Rollup based on the Optimism Bedrock architecture, developed by Lightscale. It initially used the Scroll-based zkEVM and operated as an Optimistic Rollup with ZK fault proof. Kroma's goal is to transition to a fully ZK Rollup after ZK proof generation becomes more cost-effective and faster.

As an L2 project developed by a Korean team, Kroma has announced its tokenomics: it plans to issue tokens in 2024, with 7% of the total supply allocated to the community.

Although the Odyssey event in January has ended, users can still supplement on-chain records based on previous task designs:

• Use the official cross-chain bridge to transfer funds from the Ethereum mainnet.
• Experience ecological cross-chain bridges, such as Owlto Finance
• Provide liquidity on iZUMi (at least 3 days)
• Purchase domain names on hypermarket
• Get Discord role

Potential Projects

Scroll

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

LayerZero

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

zkSync

zkSync is a second-layer scalability solution developed by Matter Labs, utilizing the latest generation of succinct zero-knowledge proofs 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 "king-level" projects alongside Starknet. With the successful token launch of Starknet, the market's expectations for these projects are also continuously increasing. When interacting, it is advisable to pay attention to factors such as active duration (preferably over 3 months) and wallet balance.

Testnet Project

Berachain

Berachain is a DeFi-based EVM-compatible L1 built on top of the Cosmos SDK, supported by liquidity consensus proof. It has a valuation of $420 million and raised $42 million in funding, led by Polychain.

Berachain launched the Artio public testnet in January, and in a short period, the addresses exceeded 1 million. Users can participate in the following activities:

• Regularly receive test coins
• Swap and provide liquidity on BEX
• Mint tokens on Honey
• Lending on Bend (currently paused for upgrades)
• Trade contracts 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 can enhance global throughput in ways that a monolithic chain cannot, while inheriting the security of Ethereum.

Fuel has secured $80 million in funding and launched the beta-4 testnet last September. Users can participate in the following activities:

• Create Fuel Wallet
• Claim test coins
• Trade using swayswap
• Create Domain

These projects all demonstrate great potential and development prospects. Whether it is the projects with confirmed Airdrops or the emerging platforms in the testing phase, they provide users with participation opportunities. When participating in these projects, it is advisable for users to be cautious, conduct thorough research, and follow the latest developments and community feedback on the projects.
