The 2024 Airdrop season officially begins

The 2024 airdrop season has officially begun. In addition to the highly anticipated projects such as Cosmos, EigenLayer, Renzo, and Berachain, there are several other airdrop opportunities worth paying attention to, covering various fields including Layer 2, DeFi, Sui, Bitcoin, wallets, RWA, and Cosmos Game Chains. Let's take a look at which of these projects offer worthwhile participation opportunities.

OP Mainnet

It is reported that there may be 20 million OP for airdrop before April 2023. So far, 3 airdrops have been conducted, distributing a total of 19,411,313 OP. To qualify for the fourth OP airdrop, it may be necessary to delegate OP to active delegators. However, since the last airdrop was entirely focused on OP staking, the 4th airdrop may also adopt other criteria, such as interaction with OP Mainnet, Base, and other OP superchains like Zora.

Scallop

Scallop is a lending protocol on the Sui chain, currently with a TVL of $61.4 million, ranking first in the Sui ecosystem. Scallop is the first DeFi project to receive funding from the Sui Foundation and has attracted investment from multiple institutions.

Scallop has launched the Airdrop points system on January 1st and completed the first phase snapshot. Users can earn points based on their activity in Scallop and use the points to generate different levels of mysterious pearls, which can be claimed after the token is launched. The second phase of the Airdrop will start on January 16th and last for 2 weeks, with even greater rewards. Users need to provide liquidity and lending on Scallop to earn points.
