Airdrops and Potential Projects to Follow in 2024

At the beginning of 2024, the success of the Starknrt Airdrop has brought considerable profits to many investors. This has not only made participants ecstatic but also made those who missed the opportunity eager not to miss the next big thing. So, in this year, which projects are worth our time and effort to engage with?

This article will introduce you to 7 projects worth following in 2024. Among these projects, some are potential airdrop projects that the market generally views positively, some have explicitly stated that they will conduct airdrops, and others are still in the testnet phase, allowing for zero-cost participation in interactions.

Confirmed Airdrop Projects

Linea

Linea is a zk-rollup solution designed to provide developers with the same development experience as Ethereum while offering users lower transaction costs. The project has launched multiple phases of the Odyssey event, and recently introduced Linea Park. Users can earn LXP points by completing tasks. It is worth noting that participation in the Linea Odyssey requires prior certification through POH (Proof of Humanity). This step, although cumbersome, also reduces the possibility of Sybil attacks to some extent.

Kroma

Kroma is a general ZK Rollup based on the Optimism Bedrock architecture, developed by the Korean team Lightscale. The project plans to issue tokens in 2024, with 7% of the total supply allocated to the community. Kroma has recently concluded a 9-week Odyssey event, but it is still possible to supplement on-chain records according to the event design, including using the official cross-chain bridge, ecological cross-chain bridges, providing liquidity, purchasing domain names, etc.

Potential Projects

Scroll

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

LayerZero

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

zkSync

zkSync is a Layer 2 scaling solution developed by Matter Labs that leverages 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. With Starknet successfully launching its token, market expectations for these three projects have also risen. It is recommended to follow the interactive tutorials and supplementary trading strategies for these projects.

Testnet Project

Berachain

Berachain is an EVM-compatible L1 based on DeFi, built on the Cosmos SDK. The project is valued at $420 million, with $42 million in funding, led by Polychain. Berachain launched the Artio public testnet in January, and within just a few days, the number of addresses surpassed 1 million.

You can participate in the Berachain testnet from the following aspects:

1. Regularly receive test coins
2. Token swapping and providing liquidity on BEX
3. Mint tokens on Honey
4. Participate in lending on the Bend platform (currently suspended for upgrades)
5. Conduct contract trading on BERPS
6. follow The Honey Jar's task updates
7. Create a domain name on Beranames

Fuel

Fuel is a UTXO-based modular execution layer designed to bring globally accessible scalability to Ethereum. The project has secured $80 million in funding and launched its beta-4 testnet in September.

The steps to participate in the Fuel testnet include:

1. Create Fuel wallet
2. Claim Test Coins
3. Interact with swayswap
4. Create Domain

By participating in the testnets and interactions of these projects, investors can prepare for potential future Airdrops. However, it is important to note that participating in these activities does not guarantee receiving Airdrop rewards, and investors should make decisions based on their own risk tolerance and research findings.
