When the cryptocurrency market faces notable corrections and liquidations during the Christmas and New Year period, some new projects are bringing potential airdrop opportunities. Users can participate in simple tasks and receive tokens without any initial investment.
Here are 3 notable airdrop projects to watch in the last week of 2024.
#1. Caldera
Caldera is a rollup deployment platform that enables the creation of high-performance, application-specific rollups using frameworks like Arbitrum Nitro, Optimism Bedrock, zkSync ZK Stack, and Polygon CDK. The project has raised $25 million, including $15 million in a Series A round led by Founders Fund.
Caldera's testnet campaign currently has three open quests that can lead to airdrop eligibility. First is the Apechain NFT challenge. Users can mint a newly launched NFT in collaboration with Apechain. Minting this NFT before 24/12 can increase the chances of future rewards.
To celebrate reaching $1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) in Caldera Rollups, the project has released a free mintable NFT. Interested users can connect their wallets and mint this token directly on the official website.
"From 22/12 to 01/01, complete small tasks posted on our social media to mint free collectible cards. On 02/01, one lucky winner will be randomly selected to win: 1 year of gas fees sponsored on Ethereum. That's right, a whole year. Additionally, three other lucky winners will each receive a Ledger Flex!"
Caldera posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Finally, those hoping to receive the airdrop can participate by minting the "Rollup Providoor" NFT on the Superboard website, a collaboration between Caldera and RARI Chain. Although the official airdrop date has not been confirmed, many tasks ending this week may drive an early TGE (token generation event) announcement.
#2. Anoma (Namada)
Anoma is a decentralized operating system designed to integrate multiple blockchain networks into a unified development environment. Backed by Polychain Capital and Coinbase Ventures, Anoma has raised $57.75 million. Anoma's campaign on the Guild website rewards participants for taking roles in their Discord. Users must complete various quests to qualify, although the roles may take a few hours to appear.
"We're ready to leave bridging behind in 2024. Anoma introduces a new model where state can freely move between chains, making bridging unnecessary,"
the project posted on X.
Furthermore, in collaboration with Namada, Anoma offers an additional quest to receive the "Shield Squad" role. To qualify, users must meet at least two criteria, such as holding specific roles in Namada's Discord, following Namada on X, or having a history of participating in the Namada community. Although the airdrop date is not yet set, Anoma's initiatives emphasize rewarding early participation.
#3. OpenLoop (OPEN)
OpenLoop is a decentralized wireless network transforming the way internet services are delivered by enabling users to share unused bandwidth. Established in 2024, OpenLoop focuses on decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) and has raised $15 million, with support from the IPN Foundation.
The team has recently launched a browser extension that provides points to users for passive usage. These points may qualify for an upcoming airdrop. Participants can install the browser extension, register an account, invite friends, and complete tasks to increase their point count.
"And just like that... The OpenLoop browser extension has reached 200K downloads! A big thank you to all the Validators, partners, supporters, and community members who have made this milestone a reality. Keep the momentum going — 500K, we're coming for you!"
OpenLoop posted on X.
OpenLoop is still in the testnet phase, with no fixed timeline for participation. There is speculation that the project may release an airdrop before transitioning to mainnet in early 2025. These projects highlight the growing opportunities in the cryptocurrency space to earn airdrop tokens through active participation. With varying deadlines and requirements, early participation can help users benefit from these potential rewards.
