As the crypto market faces notable corrections and liquidations heading into Christmas and a new year, several new projects are offering potential airdrop opportunities. Users can participate in simple tasks and earn tokens without any upfront investment.
Following are three noteworthy crypto airdrops to keep an eye on during the last week of 2024.
Caldera
Caldera is a rollup deployment platform enabling 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 a $15 million Series A led by Founders Fund.
Caldera’s testnet campaign currently features three open tasks that could lead to potential airdrop eligibility. Firstly, there’s the Apechain NFT challenge. Users can mint a new NFT launched in collaboration with Apechain.
Minting this NFT by December 24 could increase eligibility for future rewards.
Also, to commemorate reaching $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) in Caldera Rollups, the project released a free mintable NFT. Interested users can connect their wallets and mint this token directly on the official website.
“From Dec 22 to Jan 1, complete the small quests posted on our socials to mint free collectible cards. On Jan 2, one lucky will be randomly chosen to win: 1 year of sponsored gas fees on Ethereum. Yes, the whole year. Also, three additional lucky winners will take home a Ledger Flex each!” Caldera posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Lastly, airdrop hopefuls can participate by minting the “Rollup Providoor” NFT on the dedicated superboard site, a collaboration between Caldera and RARI Chain.
While the official airdrop date remains unconfirmed, many tasks closing this week could prompt a TGE (token generation event) announcement shortly.
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 with roles in its Discord server. Users must complete various tasks to qualify, though roles may take a few hours to appear.
“We’re ready to leave bridging in 2024. Anoma introduces a new model where state can move freely between chains, making bridging unnecessary,” the project posted on X.
Also, partnering with Namada, Anoma offers an additional quest to earn 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 maintaining a history of participation in Namada’s community.
Although the airdrop date is not set, Anoma’s initiatives emphasize rewarding early engagement.
OpenLoop (OPEN)
OpenLoop is a decentralized wireless network that transforms internet service delivery by enabling users to share idle bandwidth.
Founded in 2024, OpenLoop focuses on decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and has raised $15 million, with backing from the IPN Foundation.
The team recently launched a browser extension that offers users points for passive use. These points could translate into eligibility for an upcoming airdrop.
Participants can install the browser extension to register an account, invite friends, and complete tasks to boost their points tally.
“𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁… 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗽 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝗞 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘀! A huge thank you to all our Validators, partners, supporters, and community members who made this milestone possible. Let’s keep the momentum going — 500K, here we come!” OpenLoop posted on X.
OpenLoop is still in its testnet phase, with no fixed deadline for participation. Speculation suggests the project might release its airdrop before transitioning to the mainnet in early 2025.
These projects highlight the growing opportunities in the crypto space for earning airdropped tokens through active participation. With deadlines and requirements varying, early engagement could position users to benefit from these potential rewards.
