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 are slightly fatigued by frequent first-time airdrops, we have specially selected and summarized 15 tokens for further airdrop opportunities.
Jupiter
In December 2024, the Jupiter community will launch a new round of airdrop proposals, distributing 700 million JUP tokens over the next two years, totaling 1.4 billion tokens. This proposal makes several adjustments to the original plan, including allocating unclaimed JUP tokens to the ASR (holding incentives) 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 participants of Carrots and Good Cats.
Interaction Strategy: Stake, swap, and trade perpetual contracts.
Optimism
Optimism allocates 19% of tokens for airdrops in its tokenomics, with 5% for the genesis airdrop. Optimism has distributed five seasons of airdrops after the token listing, with a total airdrop of 6.2% of the total supply, excluding the genesis airdrop, with an additional 12.8% of the total supply allocated 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 the tokens airdropped for the first and second airdrop activities. The third-season activity starting on September 2 will last for 6 months until March 23, 2025.
Users participating in the second or first season who continue to engage with the Ethena ecosystem will earn 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 its total token supply (100 billion tokens) to the community in its tokenomics, with 17% of the total supply allocated in the first phase. The second phase is currently ongoing and will end in June 2025 (lasting 12 months).
50% of the 2nd phase rewards (a total of 10 billion tokens) are allocated to Blast Points holders, 50% to Blast Gold holders. Wallets will automatically earn points based on users' ETH/WETH/USDB balances at each block, with BLAST earning points at double 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. Interaction with selected Blast ecosystem DApps can yield points accumulation multipliers. Blast Gold is applicable to DApps to incentivize growth. DApps should pass 100% of the Gold they earn to users.
Interaction Strategy: Cross-chain, holding BLAST, ETH, WETH, USDB on-chain, interacting with ecosystem applications.
Starknet
Starknet allocated 9% (900 million tokens) of its total supply for community provisions when issuing coins in February, of which 700 million were allocated in the first round, but only about 500 million tokens were claimed, meaning about 400 million tokens will be used for future airdrops.
Interaction Strategy: Hold a certain amount of STARK, vote for governance or delegate, 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, of which 10% has already been distributed in an airdrop event, 17% will be used for future incentives, and 3% will be used for Router incentives. Currently, the Grass reward activity is in Epoch 3, which will end on January 16, 2025.
Interaction Strategy: Connect to the network using plugins, recommended invites.
Arkham Exchange
Arkham Exchange is a trading platform launched by the blockchain data company Arkham, now in its second season points activity.
Interaction Strategy: Participate in Arkham points activities through invitations, spot/contract trading.
Saga
Modular blockchain Saga encourages users to stake through Saga Vault activities 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 mentioned in May 2024 during its second community airdrop that a third airdrop would be launched afterward. In the second community airdrop in May 2024, 34,435,600 SEI were distributed to 44,445 addresses.
Interaction Strategy: Explore the Sei ecosystem, stake, and restake.
ZKsync
The ZKsync community has voted to approve the proposal of 'Distributing 325 million ZK tokens within 9 months', which proposes establishing a DeFi liquidity center on ZKsync Era and enhancing 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 its initial total token supply for stakedrops, of which nearly 12% of the initial total supply was distributed in the first two seasons, with about 3% and tokens unclaimed from the first two seasons distributed to the community through subsequent plans.
Interaction Strategy: Stake and restake, operate nodes.
Magic Eden
The NFT trading marketplace Magic Eden will allocate 12.5% of ME (125 million tokens) for the initial airdrop distribution at TGE, with unclaimed portions distributed to ME stakers as part of community allocations for future rewards (currently, over 30 million ME tokens are unclaimed). Additionally, Magic Eden plans to distribute 22.5% of the total supply of tokens through the Magic Eden reward program.
Interaction Strategy: Stake ME, trade tokens and NFTs using the Magic Eden mobile app.
Puffer Finance
Puffer Finance previously allocated 7.5% of the total supply for the Crunchy Carrot Quest first-season airdrop and 5.5% for the second season. The second-season activity is currently ongoing.
Interaction Strategy: Stake ETH, stETH, or wstETH.
Hyperliquid
Hyperliquid's annual largest airdrop will allocate 31% of the total supply for genesis distribution and 38.888% for future releases and community rewards. Some community users predict that Hyperliquid may issue a second airdrop. The performance of the HYPE token has also been outstanding, rising sharply, 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 the Hyperliquid Vault, hold HYPE (which may measure loyalty), and interact with Hyperliquid ecosystem projects.
Aptos
Aptos reserves 51.02% of tokens for the community in its tokenomics, with 3% of tokens allocated for the first airdrop. Some community users speculate that Aptos will conduct a second airdrop.
Interaction Strategy: Explore the Aptos ecosystem, hold some NFTs appropriately, and stake APT to any validator.
