Traders and investors are preparing for a big week with many cryptocurrency events scheduled. While high volatility is expected, cryptocurrency airdrops offer opportunities worth considering.
Cryptocurrency airdrops provide investors the chance to participate in promising projects without initial investment. Here are the airdrop opportunities to consider in the first week of May.
Miden
Miden, boasting funds of up to $25 million, is the first cryptocurrency airdrop to consider this week. The project is supported by notable investors such as a16z, 1kx, Hack VC, and Symbolic Capital.
"Today, we announce our $25 million seed fund raise and spin-out from Polygon." Miden recently announced.
Miden is an Ethereum-based ZK-rollup L2 blockchain, spun out from Polygon Labs. It enables personal and scalable smart contracts. The project plans to airdrop 10% of its native token to Polygon (POL) stakers.
This initiative aims to reward Polygon's ecosystem and encourage participation in Miden's zero-knowledge-based network. By shifting execution to client devices, it enhances privacy and scalability.
"...Miden supports client-side proofs, potentially supporting infinite TPS. It also supports selective privacy." Polygon executive Sandeep Nailwal wrote.
The airdrop coincides with Miden's Polygon AggLayer integration, increasing cross-chain liquidity. The eligibility snapshot started immediately after the April 29 announcement, with mainnet launch scheduled for Q4 2025.
Meanwhile, Miden is already planning its testnet, and airdrop farmers can perform their first activity to get a chance to be early users.
Camp Network
Another notable cryptocurrency airdrop is Camp Network, which has raised up to $29 million. The project is supported by Blockchain Capital, OKX Ventures, HTX Ventures, 1kx, and Maven 11 Capital.
Camp Network is a Layer-1 blockchain focusing on intellectual property (IP) management and AI agent integration. The project has launched an incentive testnet allowing airdrop farmers to complete simple social tasks to earn points.
"Rise on the leaderboard and earn attractive rewards by interacting with our massive ecosystem partner network." Camp Network shared.
Notably, these points will convert to future project tokens upon token release. Called "Acorns", points must be earned through tasks like daily check-ins, social media engagement, and ecosystem interactions via testnet faucets.
Mezo
Mezo is the third cryptocurrency airdrop to watch in the first week of May, raising up to $28.5 million. Supported by Pantera Capital, Multicoin Capital, Ledger, Mantle Network, GSR, Hack VC, and Bybit Exchange.
It is a Bitcoin Layer-2 network enhancing Bitcoin's utility through lending, spending, and yield generation without selling. They started a campaign on Galxe where airdrop farmers can complete quests to earn points.
"Complete quests and earn MAT! Collaborate with Galxe to earn MAT and more. Together with partners ZeroLend, Velar, Blend, and Pamp Land." Mezo Network announced.
After completing all quests, participants can obtain the Galxe Questooor role, with most quests being free. However, some require airdrop farmers to loan MUSD.
Specifically, the Mezo airdrop, which started Galxe activities on April 24, remains open until May 27, 2025. Meanwhile, users can also stake to earn points, a feature open without specific deadline.
