Last week we compiled a list of over 30 potential airdrop projects (2025 Airdrop Treasure List | These 30+ Projects Are Worth Watching). However, for friends who are slightly fatigued from frequent airdrop hunting, we have specially selected and summarized 15 tokens for airdrop opportunities.

Jupiter

In December 2024, the Jupiter community will launch a new round of airdrop proposals, distributing a total of 700 million JUP tokens each year for the next two years, for a total of 1.4 billion tokens. This proposal makes multiple adjustments to the original plan, including allocating unclaimed JUP tokens to the ASR (staking incentive) reward pool, prioritizing staked users, and strengthening anti-bot measures. According to the draft distribution plan set by Jupiter, 500 million tokens will be distributed to Swap users and stakers in 2025, and 200 million tokens will be distributed to Carrots and Good Cats participants.

Interaction Strategy: Stake, redeem, and trade perpetual contracts.

Optimism

Optimism allocates 19% of its tokens for airdrops in its tokenomics, with 5% for the genesis airdrop. Since listing, Optimism has distributed five seasons of airdrops, issuing a total of 6.2% of the total token supply in airdrops, in addition to a total of 12.8% of tokens reserved for a series of future airdrops.

Interaction Strategy: Stake OP, participate in governance, interact across multiple Superchains, etc.

Ethena

Ethena allocates 30% of its total token supply for the development of the Ethena ecosystem, with 5% of tokens airdropped for both the first and second season activities. The third season activity, starting on September 2, will last for 6 months until March 23, 2025.

Users participating in the second season or the first season who continue to engage with the Ethena ecosystem will receive higher loyalty points in the third season rewards.

Interaction Strategy: Holding USDe in any application listed on the Ethena Liquidity dashboard (e.g., Morpho, Aave, Pendle, or Curve LP) will earn 20x rewards; holding sUSDe in applications like Morpho, Aave, or Curve LP will earn 5x rewards; other rules can be found here.

Blast

Blast allocates 50% of the total token supply (100 billion tokens) to the community in its tokenomics, with 17% allocated in the first phase. The second phase is currently ongoing and will end in June 2025 (lasting 12 months).

50% of the phase 2 rewards (a total of 1 billion tokens) are allocated to Blast Points holders, and 50% to Blast Gold holders. Users' wallets will automatically earn points based on their ETH/WETH/USDB balance in each block, with BLAST earning points at twice the rate of ETH/WETH/USDB. DApps earn points at the same rate as wallets based on their TVL. The Blast documentation states that DApps should return the points they earn to users. Interacting with selected DApps in the Blast ecosystem can earn point accumulation multipliers. Blast Gold is available to DApps to incentivize their growth. DApps should give away 100% of all Gold they earn to users.

Interaction Strategy: Cross-chain, hold BLAST, ETH, WETH, USDB on-chain, and interact with ecosystem applications.

Starknet

When Starknet issued tokens in February, it allocated 9% of the total supply (900 million tokens) for community provisions, of which 700 million tokens were allocated in the first round, but only about 500 million tokens were claimed, meaning that around 400 million tokens will be available for future airdrops.

Interaction Strategy: Hold a certain amount of STARK, vote in governance or delegate, and explore Starknet ecosystem applications (such as Nostra, AVNU, etc.).

Grass

The AI and DePIN data layer Grass allocates 30% of its tokens to the community, with 10% already distributed in an airdrop activity, 17% to be used for future incentives, and 3% for Router incentives. The Grass rewards activity is currently in Epoch 3, which will end on January 16, 2025.

Interaction Strategy: Connect to the network using plugins, recommend invitations.

Arkham Exchange

Arkham Exchange is a trading platform launched by blockchain data company Arkham, now live with the second season of points activities.

Interaction Strategy: Participate in Arkham Points activities through Arkham Exchange invitations, spot/contract trading.

Saga

The modular blockchain Saga encourages users to stake through the Saga Vault event to ensure network security while providing rewards. Saga will launch Saga Vaults 2.0 in 2025, introducing new LP rewards (officially stating that staking and providing liquidity on Saga Uniswap can maximize returns).

Interaction Strategy: Participate in Saga Vaults 2.0.

Sei

Sei previously announced its second community airdrop in May 2024, stating that a third airdrop will follow. In the second community airdrop in May 2024, Sei distributed 34,435,600 SEI tokens to 44,445 addresses.

Interaction Strategy: Explore the Sei ecosystem, stake, and re-stake.

ZKsync

The ZKsync community has voted to approve the proposal to 'distribute 325 million ZK tokens within 9 months,' which aims to establish a DeFi liquidity center on the ZKsync Era and enhance the liquidity of all interoperable ZK chains (Elastic Chain).

The related ZKsync Ignite plan will launch on January 6, with the first batch of participating projects including SyncSwap, Koi Finance, zkSwap Finance, Uniswap, Maverick, PancakeSwap, Woofie, Izumi, RFX, Holdstation, Vest Exchange, Venus, ZeroLend, Aave, and Reactor Fusion.

EigenLayer

EigenLayer allocates 15% of its initial total token supply for stakedrops, with the first two seasons distributing nearly 12% of the initial total token supply, and the remaining approximately 3% along with the unclaimed tokens from the first two seasons will be allocated to the community through subsequent plans.

Interaction Strategy: Stake and re-stake, operate nodes.

Magic Eden

The NFT trading market Magic Eden allocated 12.5% of ME (125 million tokens) for the first airdrop during TGE, with unclaimed portions to be distributed as part of future rewards to ME stakers (currently over 30 million ME are unclaimed). Additionally, Magic Eden plans to allocate 22.5% of the total supply through the Magic Eden reward program.

Interaction Strategy: Stake ME, use the Magic Eden mobile app to trade tokens and NFTs.

Puffer Finance

Puffer Finance previously allocated 7.5% of the total supply to the first season airdrop of Crunchy Carrot Quest, and 5.5% to the second season. The second season is currently ongoing.

Interaction Strategy: Stake ETH, stETH, or wstETH.

Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid’s largest annual airdrop allocates 31% of its total supply for genesis distribution and 38.888% for future releases and community rewards. Some community users speculate that Hyperliquid may issue a secondary airdrop. The HYPE token has also performed spectacularly, with a fully diluted market cap reaching $28 billion and a circulating market cap of $9.3 billion.

Interaction Strategy: Trade on the Hyperliquid platform, deposit funds into Hyperliquid Vault, hold HYPE (possibly measuring loyalty), interact with Hyperliquid ecosystem projects.
