Top 3 Cryptocurrency Airdrop for the First Week of April

When traders and investors anticipate April and the beginning of the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, crypto Airdrops bring opportunities to participate in potential communities from the start.

This week, three notable crypto Airdrops are worth attention.

Walrus

Walrus (WAL), a decentralized storage protocol on Sui blockchain, launched its mainnet and Token Generation Event (TGE) on 03/27. This event coincided with the Korean exchange Upbit listing WAL.

The TGE saw Walrus distribute 4% of its total 5 billion Tokens through Airdrop. Eligible participants, including early Sui ecosystem users and testnet contributors, received exchangeable Soulbound Non-Fungible Tokens for WAL Tokens. As April begins, 6% of Walrus Tokens are reserved for future community rewards.

"Currently, 4% of the 10% Tokens allocated for Airdrop have been distributed, so Walrus still has Tokens to reward users," Cryptorank.io noted.

WAL supports storage payment, Staking, and governance, with exchanges like Crypto.com and MEXC offering rewards. The project's Airdrop followed raising 140 million USD from Andreessen Horowitz, Standard Crypto, Electric Capital, and Comma3 Ventures, among others.

Meanwhile, Walrus's market capitalization exceeded 573 million USD, reflecting strong potential for adoption. Data on CoinGecko shows it was trading at 0.45 USD at the time of writing.

Staking opportunities with validators like Mysten Labs or Nansen enhance rewards, but high commission fees (up to 60%) are applied. One of Walrus and Sui's founders recently announced that users can Stake WAL Tokens to receive Airdrops. This may mean that Airdrops from Walrus and Sui ecosystem projects, participating in Sui dApps and testnet, remain key for future allocations.

Nansen

The project raised up to 88.2 million USD from investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, Accel, and Mechanism Capital, among others. Along with fundraising, Nansen has a valuation of 750 million USD.

Nansen, a leading blockchain analysis platform, confirmed an Airdrop, attracting excitement due to its prominence and previous reward patterns. The project launched a Staking program and announced a point system for 2025.

"We are excited to announce that we have acquired Stakewithus (SWU)! SWU is a non-custodial Staking service provider with over 80 million USD Staked by over 30,000 users and supporting over 20 chains. Now, you can analyze data, track investment portfolios, and Stake assets in one place with Nansen," read the announcement.

Users can Stake assets (STRK and TRX), and points are expected to be retroactively recorded. Nansen also mentioned the NSG Token, so participants are likely to receive an Airdrop for points.

Market participants should follow Nansen's social channels and partners for updates, as Airdrops typically reward active users or data contributors.

With no Token launched yet, any potential Airdrop could involve a future native Token, likely encouraging first users or premium subscribers. Given Nansen's influence in the crypto space, tracking wallet activities and on-chain data, its Airdrop could attract significant attention.

Participants should use its tools and Stake in supported ecosystems to position themselves for undisclosed opportunities.

OG Labs

This modular AI chain combines Layer-1 blockchain with decentralized AI, focusing on Data Availability scalability for AI applications.

OG Labs' Airdrop status has been confirmed, introducing a new player in the crypto space. This makes it a speculative target for market participants. It has raised up to 325 million USD from investors like Delphi Ventures, Hack VC, Animoca Brands, and OKX Ventures, among others.

The Airdrop could relate to Web3 innovation or NFT ecosystem (with the nickname "OG"). It follows a model like Walrus, rewarding early testers or community members.

"There are new activities on the OG testnet – we can request test Tokens and perform swaps," Cryptorank.io noted.

OG Labs' Airdrop requires no investment. Users can participate through OG Labs' Newton Testnet, where core functions like decentralized storage, consensus, and data availability services are tested. Participants must complete at least 20 transactions, be active for three days, and interact with features like swapping, storage scanning, and Minting Non-Fungible Tokens.

"Interact with OG Labs Testnet and become eligible for Airdrop," crypto researcher Guatamgg stated.

Additionally, users can increase eligibility by obtaining roles on Discord like OGurus or OG Role. These activities include community contributions and verification steps. This Airdrop targets active ecosystem participants, aligning with OG Labs' emphasis on community-driven development.
