Today I will sort out the top 10 airdrops that will come in the second half of 2024. Many projects have actually talked about airdrops in the community before, and now they will soon bear fruit. At present, many projects have also updated their tasks, so you can operate them a little recently to increase your income.
Possible crypto airdrops worth paying attention to in the second half of the year include Layer 2 solutions such as Linea, Eclipse, Fuel, and Scroll, as well as other projects such as Grass, Karak, Initia, Berachain, Zora, and Farcaster. This time we will introduce 6 of them.
1.Linea: EVM-equivalent ZK Layer 2 Rollup launched by Consensys
Linea is an Ethereum-equivalent Layer 2 zero-knowledge network developed by Consensys, the developer of the MetaMask wallet. As a zkEVM, its execution environment is compatible with existing applications deployed on Ethereum.
Possible crypto airdrops worth paying attention to in the second half of the year include Layer 2 solutions such as Linea, Eclipse, Fuel, and Scroll, as well as other projects such as Grass, Karak, Initia, Berachain, Zora, and Farcaster. This time we will introduce 6 of them.
Currently, Linea’s TVL (total locked value) is US$547 million.
Linea is running a points program called Linea Voyages, where users will earn Linea XP points (LXP) based on their contributions. This point is divided into Linea Voyage LXP (LXP), earned by exploring dApps in the Linea ecosystem, and The Surge (LXPL), earned by providing liquidity in the Linea ecosystem. Linea's Surge program will last for six months, or until its TVL reaches $3 billion.
Users can improve their airdrop qualifications by cross-chaining assets to Linea and participating in Linea Voyages to earn LXP. They can also accumulate LXP points by providing liquidity by holding assets on Linea.
2. Berachain: EVM Dental Layer 1 using Proof of Liquidity
Berachain is a blockchain-based
Berachain is an EVM Dental Layer 1 blockchain built on the Cosmos t framework. This framework is based on the Cosmos SDK and allows developers to build a custom execution layer for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Its execution layer is the same as the EVM, allowing developers to deploy Ethereum-based applications directly to Berachain, and Berachain can adopt the latest version of the EVM without modification when the EVM is forked or updated.
Berachain runs under the Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism, which determines the rewards for stakers by introducing a soul-bound governance token. This mechanism separates token responsibilities, separating gas tokens from tokens used for governance chain rewards to ensure security. In PoL, users who wish to contribute to the consensus layer need to provide liquidity by depositing native BERA coins or other accepted tokens into the reward pool and obtain BGT (Berachain governance token), which is then delegated to validators.
Berachain has raised over $140 million through multiple funding rounds to develop the network.
The BERA token has been confirmed to exist and Berachain is running a public testnet program. Those who have previously done tasks on the bank and participated in the testnet program and other promotional activities will definitely be eligible for airdrops in the project.
3.Scroll: High-throughput ZK Rollup
Scroll is a zkEVM designed to scale the Ethereum network and is one of the four kings of ZK. It uses zero-knowledge (zk) Rollups to bundle transactions in its execution environment and settle on the Ethereum mainnet, while using zk validity proofs to evaluate transaction data before final verification on the L1 network. Scroll will also enable and standardize Layer 2 zk proof outsourcing, enabling developers to deploy complex contracts without gas restrictions by incentivizing Rollers to generate zero-knowledge proofs, as these can be enabled off-chain and only submit proofs on-chain.
Scroll has raised more than $80 million in multiple rounds of funding to advance the network, led by Polychain Capital and backed by Bain Capital, Variant Capital, Newman Capital, and Robot Ventures.
Scroll’s testnet program has been running for some time and is run alongside other projects such as the Scroll Guild.
To increase your chances of getting a potential Scroll airdrop, users can participate in multiple promotional projects related to Scroll, including the testnet program. With the launch of the mainnet, you can also make deposits to Scroll and participate in Scroll Sessions to earn Marks.
4. Karak: A heavy staking platform as an alternative to EigenLayer
Similar to EigenLayer, Karak is a multi-chain re-staking layer designed to provide crypto-economic security for a variety of blockchains. It supports assets including Ethereum, Solana, and Layer 2 tokens. It also operates as a marketplace where developers can incentivize users to re-stake their staked assets, providing on-demand crypto-economic security to new protocol developers without requiring those developers to build a new trust network from scratch.
On the Karak platform, users who have staked assets can assign them to the Distributed Security Service (DSS), allowing these staked assets to be reused by other protocols for security purposes. By assigning assets to DSS, stakers agree to additional slashing conditions in exchange for higher staking income.
Karak has reportedly raised $48 million in its Series A funding round, which values the company at $1 billion. The round was led by Lightspeed Ventures, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Digital Currency Group, Pantera Capital, and others.
Karak is currently running a points program where users earn XP points by re-staking and inviting other users to interact with the platform.
Users can improve their chances of getting a potential Karak airdrop by participating in the ongoing XP program. However, this requires an early access invitation code to participate. Of course, you can also participate by acquiring and re-staking supported assets and inviting others to participate in the program.
5. Grass: Using idle internet connections to provide a data layer for AI
Grass allows users to sell their unused internet bandwidth, and the raw data collected will be used for AI training. In return, Grass promises rewards that may include "cryptocurrency, gift cards, and PayPal." Anyone can automatically delegate their idle bandwidth to the Grass network by installing the Grass app (or browser extension) and running a node.
Grass was developed as a Layer 2 sovereign data Rollup to efficiently handle large-scale crawling operations on top of Solana, which serves as the settlement layer of the Grass network. Grass claims that it will not access or use your personal data, will only access public websites, and will not affect the data on your computer. To further protect user data, Grass uses a zero-knowledge processor that allows builders to verify that the AI model is trained correctly without revealing details of the actual data while ensuring that data privacy and security are not compromised.
GRASS is currently running a points program where users earn points by installing the GRASS app and/or browser extension and running it in the background while surfing the web.
So currently, if you want to earn points, you can only earn Grass points by downloading and running Grass applications while surfing the Internet.
6. Fuel: Modular Layer 2 designed for scalability using parallelization
Fuel Network is a modular scaling solution for the Ethereum network that separates the execution layer from the data availability and consensus layer. By separating responsibilities according to layers, modular blockchains are designed to scale, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
To increase transaction processing speed and scalability, Fuel uses parallelization techniques in its execution layer. Fuel also creates a virtual machine that reduces energy waste in processing while providing greater design flexibility. The network is built using the Sway programming language, a flexible language that borrows from Rust and Solidity to reduce development time.
The Fuel network has raised $81.5 million in two rounds of financing, with supporters including Origin Capital, CoinFund, Stratos Technologies, etc. Fuel has also launched its public testnet on Sepolia.
Fuel has also launched the Fuel Points Program, where early contributors can earn points by depositing assets into the Fuel pre-deposit contract. #撸空投 #内容挖矿
