3 Airdrops You May Be Eligible For

Recently, some airdrops have been targeted at active DeFi users, with conditions including using specific dApps or holding certain tokens. While these no-action airdrop amounts are usually small, they are “free money,” and it's worth claiming if eligible. Here are 3 examples to watch:

  1. Bluefin - The most popular perpetual contract DEX on Sui

In the upcoming airdrop, a portion is allocated to:

  • Users leveraging its Solana and EVM partners (such as Jupiter, Aerodrome, Wormhole, Pyth, and Elixir)

  • Users leveraging its Sui ecosystem partners (which cover almost all mainstream dApps on Sui)

  • NFT holders of Pudgy Penguins, MadLads, Azuki, and Prime Machin

You can check your eligibility for claiming here.

  1. Zircuit - An AI-supported Ethereum L2

A portion of its airdrop is allocated to:

  • EIGEN stakers of Eigenlayer

If you held or staked at least 3 EIGEN tokens on October 8, you can now claim a small portion of the ZRC airdrop.

  1. Elys Network - A Universal DeFi Liquidity Layer

Its mainnet and token are about to launch.

  • ATOM stakers will receive a portion of the airdrop.

According to the official announcement, its airdrop checker will go live on December 3.

The recent market environment has improved significantly, and I expect many projects with undistributed tokens will soon announce their token issuance plans.
