2024 Airdrop Map | Missed JTO, what are some other projects that still have potential airdrop opportunities?

Crypto researcher Ignas compiled a list of potential airdrop projects to watch in the near future, highlighting innovative new projects within the Injective, Solana, and Starknet ecosystems, as well as the potential of Web3 social protocols. This article is not investment advice.

By 2024, with various bullish market news, maturing protocol developments, and recent strong performance in airdrop trends, it is expected that more potential airdrop opportunities may arise.

Injective INJ Ecosystem

Based on the Cosmos ecosystem, the Injective blockchain utilizes CosmWasm to provide higher operational efficiency for its virtual machine. Ignas believes that its design has the potential to become the next generation Solana, thus attracting market attention to projects within its ecosystem. Some of the well-known projects in this ecosystem currently include:

• Helix: Decentralized derivatives exchange
• Mito: Automated strategy vault pool
• Talis Protocol: NFT exchange

Starknet STRK Ecosystem

The development of Layer2 with zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) and airdrop projects has been a hot topic in the industry. Starknet's airdrop is one such example, offering new token standards, programmable transfers, and protocol-native account abstraction architecture, making its token airdrop project STRK full of potential in the market.

In addition to Starknet's own airdrop project, Ignas believes that the ecosystem has potential airdrop projects worth looking into, such as:

• mySwap: Decentralized exchange
• JediSwap: Decentralized exchange
• Ekubo: Decentralized exchange
• Nostra: Lending protocol
• zkLend: Lending protocol

Ethereum ETH Ecosystem

If cross-chain operations seem cumbersome, the well-established Web3 ecosystem Ethereum still has projects worth anticipating in terms of airdrops:

• Ambient: Decentralized exchange
• Swaap: Decentralized exchange
• Maverick Protocol: Decentralized exchange
• ether.fi: Liquidity staking protocol
• Arrakis Finance: Automated strategy vault pool

Solana SOL Ecosystem

Despite the recent influx of information and popular projects, if you missed Jito, Ignas still believes that the following projects are worth paying special attention to:

• Kamino Finance: Automated strategy vault pool
• marginfi: Lending protocol
• Sujiko: NFT perpetual contract exchange
• Jupiter: Trading aggregator with multi-round investment plans
• Tensor: NFT exchange

SocialFi Sector

The structure of SocialFi allows creators to receive fair compensation. Due to market acceptance issues, this sector was neglected for a period of time, but has regained public attention this year:

• Alpha: Bitcoin ecosystem social protocol
• fan.tech: Mantle ecosystem social protocol
• friend.tech: Base ecosystem social protocol, don't forget this protocol has not issued tokens yet

Decentralized Social DeSoc Sector

The first step in decentralized social society is to build decentralized community media and return ownership to users. This issue has a history of over ten years from the Federal Universe to Web3 social protocols. Currently, projects that are expected to have airdrops in the market include:

• Lens Protocol
• Farcaster

2024 Airdrop Atmosphere Intense

As the market gradually improves, many project teams are taking the opportunity to launch airdrop projects in hopes of bringing the greatest growth to their projects. In addition to the aforementioned projects, Ignas also points out that projects like Celestia and Kujira still have airdrop opportunities, which may also involve token staking.

Whether it is the Solana or Starknet ecosystem, both have indeed invested a lot of resources and have been in development for several years. They have also seen many real innovative products emerge, rather than just protocol forks, expanding the market's imagination for airdrops.

On the other hand, recent airdrop projects including Celestia and Jito, foundational infrastructures, have brought about a strong wealth effect, further strengthening the market's expectations and confidence in airdrops.
