Potential Airdrop Projects to Follow in 2024

After the successful launch of the Airdrop on Starknet and its listing on exchanges, many are looking for the next potential project. Whether investors missed this opportunity or have already participated, they all hope to seize future chances. This article will introduce 7 projects worth following in 2024, including potential Airdrop projects that the market is anticipating, projects with clearly announced Airdrops, and some zero-cost interaction projects that are still in the testing phase.

Announced Airdrop Projects

Linea

Linea is a zk-rollup solution that allows developers to deploy and develop smart contracts just like on Ethereum, while providing users with a lower-cost trading experience. Linea has recently launched multiple phases of the Odyssey event and the Linea Park project, where users can earn LXP by completing tasks. Participation requires identity verification, which also helps reduce the likelihood of Sybil attacks.

Kroma

Kroma is a universal ZK Rollup based on the Optimism Bedrock architecture, currently deployed on the Sepolia testnet. The project has announced its token economics, with a token issuance expected in 2024, of which 7% will be allocated to the community. Although the recent Odyssey event has ended, users can still supplement on-chain records based on previous task designs, such as using the official cross-chain bridge, participating in ecological cross-chain bridges, providing liquidity, purchasing domain names, and more.

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 succinct 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 offers a trusted and secure messaging service 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 secure the underlying blockchain's safety attributes. All funds are held by smart contracts on the main chain, while computation and storage are executed off-chain.

These three projects are known as top projects alongside Starknet. With the successful token launch of Starknet, market expectations for these projects have also increased. Investors should pay attention to maintaining a longer active time (recommended to exceed 3 months) and an appropriate wallet balance when participating.

Testnet Project

Berachain

Berachain is a DeFi-based EVM-compatible Layer 1 chain built on the Cosmos SDK. The project is valued at $420 million and has secured $42 million in funding. Berachain launched the Artio public testnet in January this year, quickly surpassing 1 million addresses. Users can participate in various activities on the testnet, including token swaps, providing liquidity, governance participation, minting tokens, lending, and trading.

Fuel

Fuel is a UTXO-based modular execution layer designed to provide globally accessible scalability for Ethereum. As a modular execution layer, Fuel can achieve global throughput unattainable by monolithic chains while maintaining Ethereum's security. The project has secured $80 million in funding and launched its beta-4 testnet last September. Users can participate in testnet activities by creating wallets, claiming test tokens, using trading platforms, and creating domains.
