Last week, we compiled a list of over 30 potential airdrop projects (2025 Airdrop Treasure List | These 30+ projects are worth paying attention to). However, for those who have become somewhat fatigued by frequent initial airdrops, we have specially filtered and summarized 15 tokens for airdrop opportunities.
Jupiter
In December 2024, the Jupiter community plans to inject 700 million JUP tokens through a new round of airdrop proposals over the next two years, totaling 1.4 billion tokens. This proposal makes multiple adjustments to the original plan, including allocating unclaimed JUP tokens to the ASR (holding incentive) reward pool, prioritizing staking users, and strengthening anti-bot measures. According to the distribution draft proposed by Jupiter, 500 million will be distributed to Swap users and stakers in 2025, and 200 million will be distributed to participants of Carrots and Good Cats.
Interactive Strategy: Stake, exchange, and trade perpetual contracts.
Optimism
Optimism allocates 19% of the tokens for airdrops in its token economics, including 5% for the genesis airdrop. Optimism has distributed five seasons of airdrops since listing, with additional airdrops occurring in February and September 2023, and February and October 2024, totaling 6.2% of the total token supply for airdrops, with an additional 12.8% of the total supply reserved for a series of future airdrops.
Interactive Strategy: Stake OP, participate in governance, interact across multiple Superchains, etc.
Ethena
Ethena allocates 30% of the total token supply for the development of the Ethena ecosystem, with 5% of the tokens airdropped in the first and second season airdrop events. The third season activity starting on September 2 will last for 6 months until March 23, 2025.
Users participating in the second season or first season who continue to engage with the Ethena ecosystem will receive higher loyalty points in the third season rewards.
Interactive Strategy: Holding USDe in any application listed on the Ethena Liquidity dashboard (such as Morpho, Aave, Pendle, or Curve LP) will receive 20 times the rewards; holding sUSDe in applications like Morpho, Aave, or Curve LP will receive 5 times the rewards; other rules can be found here.
Blast
Blast allocates 50% of the total token supply (100 billion tokens) to the community in its token economics, with the first phase allocating 17% of the total token supply. The second phase is currently ongoing and will end in June 2025 (lasting 12 months).
The phase 2 rewards (a total of 10 billion tokens) will be distributed 50% to Blast Points holders and 50% to Blast Gold holders. Wallets will automatically earn points based on the user's ETH/WETH/USDB balance in each block, with the 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 indicates that DApps should return the points they earn to users. Interacting with selected DApps in the Blast ecosystem can earn points accumulation multipliers. Blast Gold is applicable to DApps to incentivize their growth. DApps should give 100% of the Gold they earn to users.
Interactive Strategy: Cross-chain, hold BLAST, ETH, WETH, USDB on-chain, interact with ecological applications.
Starknet
Starknet allocated 9% (900 million tokens) of the total supply for community provisions when launching tokens in February. Of this, 700 million were allocated in the first round, but only about 500 million tokens were claimed, meaning that about 400 million tokens will be used for future airdrops.
Interactive Strategy: Hold a certain amount of STARK, vote in governance or delegate, explore Starknet ecosystem applications (such as Nostra, AVNU, etc.).
Grass
The AI and DePIN data layer Grass allocates 30% of the tokens to the community, of which 10% has already been distributed in the airdrop activity, 17% will be used for future incentives, and 3% will be used for Router incentives. The Grass reward activity is currently in Epoch 3, which will end on January 16, 2025.
Interactive Strategy: Connect to the network using plugins, recommended invitations.
Arkham Exchange
Arkham Exchange is a trading platform launched by blockchain data company Arkham, and it has launched a second season points activity.
Interactive Strategy: Participate in Arkham points activities through invitations, spot/contract trading.
Saga
The modular blockchain Saga encourages users to stake through Saga Vault activities to ensure network security while providing rewards. Saga Vaults 2.0 will be launched in 2025, introducing new LP rewards (officially stated that staking and providing liquidity on Saga Uniswap can maximize returns).
Interactive Strategy: Participate in Saga Vaults 2.0.
Sei
Sei explicitly mentioned in May 2024 when announcing the second community airdrop that a third airdrop will be initiated later. During the second community airdrop in May 2024, 34,435,600 SEI were distributed to 44,445 addresses.
Interactive Strategy: Explore the Sei ecosystem, stake, and restake.
ZKsync
The ZKsync community has voted to approve the proposal to "distribute 325 million ZK tokens over 9 months," which proposes to establish a DeFi liquidity hub on the ZKsync Era and enhance the liquidity of all interoperable ZK chains (Elastic Chain).
The related ZKsync Ignite program 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 the initial total token supply for stakedrops, with nearly 12% of the initial total supply distributed in the first two seasons, and the remaining approximately 3% and unclaimed tokens from the first two seasons will be allocated to the community through subsequent plans.
Interactive Strategy: Stake and restake, operate nodes.
Magic Eden
The NFT trading market Magic Eden will allocate 12.5% of ME (125 million tokens) for the initial airdrop distribution during the TGE, with unclaimed portions being distributed as future rewards for ME stakers (currently over 30 million ME are unclaimed). Additionally, Magic Eden plans to distribute 22.5% of the total supply of tokens through the Magic Eden reward program.
Interactive 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 for the Crunchy Carrot Quest season 1 airdrop and 5.5% for season 2. The season 2 activity is still ongoing.
Interactive Strategy: Stake ETH, stETH, or wstETH.
Hyperliquid
Hyperliquid's annual largest airdrop will allocate 31% of the total supply for its genesis distribution, with 38.888% reserved for future releases and community rewards. Some community users predict Hyperliquid may issue a second airdrop. The performance of the HYPE token has also been impressive, rising steadily to a fully diluted market cap of $28 billion and a circulating market cap of $9.3 billion.
Interactive Strategy: Trade on the Hyperliquid platform, deposit funds into the Hyperliquid Vault, hold HYPE (possibly measuring loyalty), and interact with Hyperliquid ecosystem projects.
Aptos
Aptos reserves 51.02% of the tokens for the community in its token economics, with 3% of the tokens allocated for the first airdrop. Some community users speculate that Aptos may conduct a second airdrop.
