Interested in receiving some free crypto in your wallet? As part of their token launch, some cryptocurrency projects send free tokens to their communities to drive adoption, an activity commonly known as “airdrops.” But what are airdrops, and how do you qualify for these free tokens? Read on!

What Are Crypto Airdrops?

Cryptocurrency projects are big on incentivization as a way to drive interest towards their brand and the product itself, and airdrops are designed to introduce users to the project and reward them in the process as a dual marketing and reward system. As you'll see in the list below, one of the most common ways to improve your eligibility for new airdrops is to use the testnet or interact with the protocol. 

Early airdrop programs were basically structured to introduce a new or existing project to the cryptocurrency community by rewarding new users who perform simple social tasks. On completion, the participants receive a certain number of token rewards. Currently, airdrop programs are adopting a point system, where the points users earn are converted to a share of the airdropped tokens. Users can usually earn these points by taking part in the project’s testnet, providing liquidity, and engaging in social tasks. 

Over the past years, airdrops have changed as the goal has shifted towards rewarding early adopters and significant contributors. After Uniswap’s high profile airdrop in 2020, where $6.43 billion worth of UNI was distributed (valued at its ATH token price of $42.88), every year has recorded significant airdrops:

  • On 25th December 2021, OpenDAO airdropped a major portion of its SOS token to NFT traders on OpenSea. 

  • Some of the most popular airdrops of 2022 were BAYC’s Apecoin airdrop to its NFT art holders, Ethereum Layer 2 network Optimism’s airdrop of its OP token, and Aptos’s airdrop to its early adopters.

  • In 2023, we've already seen the Arbitrum airdrop, with over 42 million ARB claimed in the first hour. Other high profile airdrops in 2023 include Celestia's TIA and Blur.

  • According to the CoinGecko 2024 annual report, there were 36 notable airdrops including Ethena, PENGU, Hyperliquid  and MagicEden which added over $20 billion to the overall crypto market cap in 2024.

With the year 2025 already upon us, let’s take a look at some likely airdrops that might be happening soon, and how you can qualify for these upcoming crypto airdrops.

Do note that unless specified otherwise, these potential airdrops are highly speculative and a feature in this list is no guarantee that an actual airdrop will happen in the future.

Meteora: Jupiter Owned Liquidity Market Maker

Meteora is a liquidity market maker on Solana, specializing in easy and quick creation of liquidity pools through its innovative Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) model. At the time of writing, Meteora currently holds over $1.6 billion in TVL, making it the 8th largest DeFi protocol in Solana.

Why an Airdrop Is Likely

The Meteora team has confirmed that a MET token will be launched in the future. Ongoing forum discussions hint that points will be allocated based on how much fees a user generates through liquidity provision, as well as how much TVL he has contributed.

Improving Airdrop Eligibility

Users can improve their airdrop eligibility by consistently providing liquidity and generating fees. An efficient way to do this is to use volatile asset pairs such as memecoin liquidity providing as they generate more fees, however the risk for impermanent loss for this strategy is high.

Hyperliquid: World’s Largest Perpetuals Decentralized Exchange

Hyperliquid is a high performance Layer 1 dedicated to being a low slippage and extremely fast decentralized crypto trading platform. Hyperliquid prides itself as a DeFi (decentralized finance) platform with a CeFi-like (centralized finance) experience. Hyperliquid is well loved by the community and its users for being a reliable trading hub for all things crypto.

Why an Airdrop Is Likely

Hyperliquid’s first airdrop is phenomenally successful, being the largest ever in history (by market capitalization). HYPE’s tokenomics reveal that a further 38.88% of the HYPE token supply is allocated for “future emissions”, hinting that another airdrop season is in the works.

Improving Airdrop Eligibility

Users can improve airdrop eligibility by continuing to trade (with leverage) on the Hyperliquid platform as well as use its multitude of features such as staking, liquidity provision, and copytrading.

Kaito: AI-Powered Search Engine

Kaito.ai is an AI-driven platform commonly used by crypto industry leaders to aggregate terabytes of on-chain data into actionable insights. Kaito recently introduced an AI-powered search engine where users can earn Yap points by sharing valuable information on Crypto Twitter and tagging Kaito.

Why an Airdrop Is Likely

Kaito released its Yap-to-Earn points programme, rewarding users with points for sharing crypto related information on X. The points – as well as wallet connection when creating a Kaito Yaps account – strongly hints that a Kaito token airdrop may be in the works.

Improving Airdrop Eligibility

Users can improve airdrop eligibility by continuously “Yapping” on X, and getting high engagement on said X posts. Further improve your odds by referring others and getting them to “Yap” with you.

Berachain: EVM-Identical Layer 1 Utilizing Proof-of-Liquidity

Berachain is an EVM-Identical Layer 1 blockchain built on the Beaconkit framework – a Cosmos SDK-based framework that enables developers to build execution layers tailored for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This means its execution layer is identical to the EVM, allowing developers to directly deploy their Ethereum-based apps onto Berachain, while allowing Berachain to adopt the latest version of the EVM whenever it is forked or updated, without required any modifications.

Berachain runs on the Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism that builds on Proof-of-Stake by introducing a soulbound governance token that determines the rewards for stakers. This separates token responsibilities by separating gas tokens from tokens used to govern chain rewards for security. In PoL users who wish to contribute to the consensus layer are required to provide liquidity by committing the native BERA coin or any other token accepted on the rewards vault and receiving BGT (BeraChain Governance token) which is then delegated to a validator.

Bera Chain has raised over $140 million through multiple funding events to develop the network.

Why an Airdrop Is Likely

The BERA token is confirmed and BeraChain is running a public testnet program. While a community airdrop is yet to be announced at the time of writing, participants in the testnet program and other promotional programs expect the project to reward early contributors via a token airdrop, as seen in previous airdrops from other protocols that have run similar programs.

Improving Your Airdrop Eligibility

Participating in the testnet program and other social media promotional programs are some of the best ways to improve your chances of benefiting from a potential BERA airdrop. Follow this guide to learn more.

Corn: Bitcoin Powered Ethereum Layer 2

Corn is a new Ethereum Layer 2 network that is working to integrate Bitcoin into the Ethereum ecosystem, with plans of using Bitcoin as the gas token.

Why an Airdrop Is Likely

Corn currently runs an airdrop points campaign where points, known as “Kernels” can be earned. The CORN token is confirmed to be released in the future, likely through a token airdrop.

Improving Airdrop Eligibility

Users can improve their eligibility by earning “Kernels” through bridging funds into its Layer 2 network. Additionally, users can also complete Corn Galxe Quests, with activities such as following Corn’s X account and reposting some of their Tweets. Historically, some crypto projects have rewarded users for completion of their project’s Galxe quests.

Pump.fun: The World’s Most Successful Memecoin Generator

Pump.fun is currently the leader in crypto launchpads for memecoins, operating on the Solana network. Pump.fun is a platform that simplifies the token creation process, abstracting away all technical complexities allowing everyday users to create their own memecoins for as low as $2.

Since its inception in early 2024, Pump.fun has generated over $170 million in revenue with almost 3 million tokens launched via the platform. This means that an airdrop from the platform could potentially be highly lucrative given the platform’s current success. 

Why An Airdrop Is Likely

The Pump.fun team teased launching their own token during a Twitter Spaces on 19 October 2024. One of the team members said “We're going to make sure we're going to reward our earliest users", making it likely the project will launch their token via an airdrop.

Improving Airdrop Eligibility

While there are currently no points programme available, it is presumed that active use of the platform will improve one’s airdrop eligibility. To improve your eligibility, you could consider creating your own memecoins and trading memecoins through the platform.

Initia: A Network for Interwoven Rollups 

Initia is a Cosmos-based network focused on interoperability, creating interconnected blockchains through its infrastructure that combines Layer 1 and Layer 2 technology. On Initia, different Layer 2 networks and appchains (Minitias) can operate without requiring native consensus mechanisms. Through Initia’s Enshrined Liquidity mechanism, multiple tokens can be staked directly with validators to gain voting power through a Delegated Proof-of-Stake mechanism. This will allow for efficient allocation of assets, while allowing other tokens within whitelisted liquidity pools to be utilized for gas payments.

Initia also simplifies the process of creating a new appchain, by combining its tech stack with offering features such as native stablecoins and multi-chain bridging, while using the Initia Layer 1 for security and data settlement.

Rollups on the Initia network are known as Minitia and the interoperability infrastructure is termed Omnitia. Thanks to Omnitia, validators can validate a basket of Minitia, securing multiple networks and earning rewards from each network. According to Initia, Minitias are high-throughput L2 networks with a block time of 500ms and transaction speed of over 10,000 TPs.

Initia Network reportedly raised $7.5 million in its seed round fundraiser program backed by Binance Labs and Co-led by Delphi Ventures and Hack VC with participation from Nascent, Figment Capital, Big Brain, A.Capital, and various angel investors

Why an Airdrop Is Likely

Initia has confirmed a token launch, although there is no official announcement regarding a token airdrop. However, the launch of an XP program suggests that there is the possibility of a future airdrop.

Improving Your Airdrop Eligibility

To improve your airdrop eligibility, you can complete tasks including getting testnet tokens, buying an Initia username, swapping tokens, staking INIT with validators and more. Completing these tasks will let you create a Jennie, which is an NFT. After completing the Jennie, you will have to continue earning XP by interacting with the Minitia and completing weekly bonus tasks in order to feed your Jennie.

Eclipse: Layer 2 on Ethereum Leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM)

Eclipse is an EVM-compatible zero knowledge Layer 2 that is built using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The project aims to fuse the speed and performance of the SVM – leveraging features like parallelization – while settling transactions on the Ethereum network. This creates an extremely fast rollup while maintaining Ethereum-level security and decentralization, while utilizing Celestia for data availability. As a 

Moreover, by utilizing the SVM, developers can now deploy Solana apps on Eclipse with minimal changes. The project also recently unveiled Neon Stack, a technology suite that will make the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and SVM interoperable. 

Why an Airdrop Is Likely

Eclipse is currently running a testnet program, and while it is not certain that participation in the testnet will result in an airdrop, there is a good chance of early adopters receiving an airdrop, as many past projects have rewarded testnet users for their contributions to the final product.

Improving Your Airdrop Eligibility

To improve your eligibility for the potential airdrop, you can start by getting involved in the project. On Eclipse, you can do so by installing the Eclipse wallet and interacting with dApps on the testnet. As Eclipse is still in the testnet stage, you will need to acquire Sepolia ETH to engage in testnet activities.

Zora: Creator-Focused Protocol With a Layer 2 to Bring Media Onchain

Zora is a creator-centric decentralized NFT platform that enables creators to capture a share of the resale value of their work. On Zora, creators and collectors come together to determine the value of an NFT through auctions, fostering a decentralized market dynamic. According to the project, over 4 million NFTs have minted, with $300 million generated in secondary sales, since its launch in 2021 on Ethereum. 

In addition, there is also the Zora Network which was created to bring scalability, speed, and cost efficiency to the Zora marketplace, simplifying NFT creation and minting operations via its SDK. The Zora Network, an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain solution built using the OP Stack and designed to support media on the blockchain, was launched in June 2023. While the Zora Network is designed to complement the Zora marketplace by facilitating the minting, pricing, and trading of NFTs, it also functions as a standalone Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum. 

Why an Airdrop Is Likely

There is the possibility for a ZORA token, as it has raised $60 million in funding from investors including Paradigm and Coinbase Ventures. 

Improving Your Airdrop Eligibility

To improve your eligibility for a potential Zora airdrop, you can interact with Zora and Zora Network by buying, listing, minting, and selling NFTs. Also, given Zora’s creator focus, creating an NFT and getting as many mints as possible may also determine the size of a potential airdrop. 

Farcaster: Decentralized Web3 Social Protocol on Optimism

Farcaster described itself as a ‘sufficiently decentralized’ social media protocol built on the Optimism network. It is developed to serve as a base layer for a range of social media applications. The most popular application on Farcaster is Warpcast, which takes inspiration from Twitter (X), where users can share short posts (or casts) and follow personalities and join interest-based channels.  Warpcast features Farcaster protocol innovations like Frames – a feature that allows users to access another app from within their social feed, improving the user experience.

Farcaster has raised about $180 million across two funding rounds, with investors including Paradigm, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Coinbase Ventures, and more. 

Why an Airdrop Is Likely

Farcaster is expected to follow in the steps of a fellow decentralized social media project – friend.tech. Both projects are funded by Paradigm, which has a record of investing in projects that issue tokens. Moreover, with significant potential as seen in its $1 billion valuation and substantial funding, it is possible that the project will eventually offer an airdrop to reward its users. 

Improving Your Airdrop Eligibility

As in the case of friend.tech, user interactions and activity on Warpcast is likely to be a determining factor for the airdrop. Earning a Powerbadge (a small purple badge next to your name) could also improve your chances of scoring a potential Farcaster airdrop, as it will prove that you are a power user of Warpcast.

Fund Tokenization Prepares Asset Managers for ‘Perfect Storm’

Synopsis:

  • Great Wealth Transfer will see $84 trillion of intragenerational asset transfer over the next 20 years
  • Gen Y and Z investors favor investment in alternative asset types, which tokenization makes more investable for HNW clients
  • Tokenization encourages platform changes, and will ultimately bring additional operational benefits

A triumvirate of large-scale market changes are set to transform the asset management industry over the next decade.

With trillions of dollars worth of assets set to flow into the wallets of Gen X, Y, and Z investors, much of which will accumulate onchain, asset managers who move first to serve this new market will gain an advantage in capturing this revenue opportunity. The immediate opportunity is similar to when the ETF format was introduced in 1993, with first-mover State Street launching the SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF)—now one of the largest ETFs globally. The tokenized asset format is today’s generational opportunity.

Tokenization can unlock accessibility to alternative asset types and more composable assets and structures, enabling a significant change in how investors manage portfolios. With greater automation and rules-based investment allocations, entirely new strategies could also become economically viable. Integrating existing platforms with next-generation digital systems will enable the industry to modernize in stages, ultimately allowing for the adoption of new asset types at scale.

The forthcoming vicennial transformation of the industry will enable it to transform and emerge triumphant. Those at the forefront of this technology evolution stand to dominate and shape the future of asset management.

 

Great Wealth Transfer prompts global investment shake-up

The asset management industry is on the cusp of the largest wealth transfer event ever, set to last for the next two decades. Consulting firm Cerulli Associates estimates $84 trillion in assets is set to change hands as wealth passes from the baby boomer generation to Gen X, Y, and Z investors.

However, the investment behavior of these younger benefactors differs significantly from their forebears in two ways. Holding Web3 wallets and accounts on Robinhood, rather than brokerage accounts like their parents, millennials are opting for a more self-service model in their long-term holdings. Add to that the shift in risk appetite, searching for higher growth through less conventional asset types like private markets and crypto, and the need for the industry to transform quickly is clear.

Whilst the industry is not currently set up to offer this new investor class more customization, as opposed to one-size-fits-all product offerings, an 80% majority of asset managers believe customization for the masses will be an important investment strategy in the next five years.

 
 

                                          Ryan Lovell, Chainlink Labs

 

While asset managers could build their own proprietary blockchain infrastructure and smart contract systems from the ground up, that approach would require significant resources and specialized engineers, extend time to market, and be at higher risk of technical vulnerabilities or implementation errors. On the other hand, fully outsourcing the implementation would leave them with limited roadmap control, interoperability, and customizability, along with dependency risks.

Ryan Lovell, director of capital markets at Chainlink Labs, commented: “That’s why leading asset managers are taking a hybrid approach, leveraging both existing systems and Chainlink’s decentralized infrastructure to implement modular solutions that can scale across multiple blockchains.”

 

Industry transformation through tokenization

The launch of tokenized funds by firms such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity International has created a need for the fund administration industry to evolve to an onchain format. However, nearly all, 93% of fund services firms, have not automated data inputs, data checks, and key workflows, so their operations are still manually intensive, leading to increased operational costs, reduced liquidity, and missed investment opportunities. Standard transfer agent processing can take between one and three days for routine transactions, and between five and seven days for complex cases requiring additional compliance checks, cross-border settlements, or manual document verification.

“Operational efficiency is just the starting point of tokenizing funds,” said Lovell. “The real value is meeting the needs of future investors who are increasingly accumulating wealth across multiple blockchain networks.”

In order to reach this new onchain world, asset managers and their service providers may not want to make a huge investment to completely change their infrastructure, but instead adapt their existing systems to make them compatible with multiple blockchains.

For example, in November 2024, SBI Digital Markets, UBS Asset Management, and Chainlink completed the implementation of a tokenized fund to demonstrate how existing fund administration processes can be successfully made compatible with tokenized funds.

SBI Digital Markets, as a custodian and fund distributor, used smart contracts, oracle networks, and multiple blockchains to automate its processes. One of the key components was the digital transfer agent smart contract, which used multiple oracle networks from Chainlink and its blockchain-agnostic architecture to create a unified golden record.

Lovell compared the digital transfer agent to an offchain/onchain coordinator that does everything that a traditional transfer agent does, but in digital form.

“It does not replace the existing system but enables firms to be compatible with blockchain and then offer a service that can scale to all their customers,” he said. “Asset managers should be demanding this from their service providers.”

The pilot showed that a tokenized fund could maintain its share register on one blockchain while using Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to enable the processing of intensive fund lifecycle activities such as subscriptions and redemptions on different blockchains while meeting institutional security and compliance standards.

Swift, UBS Asset Management, and Chainlink also settled tokenized fund subscriptions and redemptions using the Swift network, which enables payments with fiat currencies across more than 11,500 financial institutions in over 200 countries.

                                     Winston Quek, SBI Digital Markets

Winston Quek, CEO at SBI Digital Markets, said in a statement: “This new way of launching fund structures and administering them via smart contracts empowers both fund managers and their service providers to deliver new onchain financial products and lower operational costs to investors, both things they are actively looking for.”

In addition to lowering costs, using blockchains increases transparency and allows real-time reconciliation between the fund distributor and the fund issuer. Lovell highlighted that Chainlink can also use the same architecture to enable investors who want to hold tokens that are backed by offchain assets, settle these tokens across any blockchain, incorporate data that is needed to process transactions onchain, such as NAV data, and coordinate payments between distributors and the asset managers.

In the U.S. there are requirements around private and public funds and Chainlink enables asset managers to consolidate and consume onchain record keeping while fulfilling regulatory obligations. U.S. funds also require the distributor to onboard users and buy and sell the fund while the custodian and fund accountant provide reporting data.

“We allow all of those service providers to coordinate outside of their firewalls,” said Lovell. “Chainlink’s goal is to enable the TradFi and DeFi worlds to seamlessly connect, which increases utility.”

 

The Great Wealth Transfer is driving asset management onchain

With $84 trillion set to flow from baby boomers to Gen X, Y, and Z, their demand for alternative asset types and customization will shape the future of asset management. While today’s systems may be prohibitively expensive to offer these benefits at scale, tokenization changes the economics.

Tokenized funds by BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity International have already proven the demand for onchain assets, while a solution by SBI Digital Markets, UBS Asset Management, and Chainlink has demonstrated the operational efficiencies of blockchain technology and how onchain assets can be provided at scale.

The choice is clear for asset managers and service providers: embrace the tokenization revolution and lead the next era of finance or risk being left behind. Those who act now will not only gain a first-mover advantage but also shape the future of the industry.

Since launch, the Soroban Security Audit Bank has successfully conducted over 40 essential audits, deploying over $3 million to support security of the smart contracts on Stellar. Check it out!

 

Ecosystem Success Stories: How the Soroban Audit Bank Drives Security Forward

By making automated formal verification available to developers, in addition to allocating significant budget for securing many of the top DeFi protocols built on top of Stellar, SDF has established a new security standard in the Web3 ecosystem. –Mooly Sagiv, Co-Founder of Certora
SDF has been a strong partner as we’ve worked with teams across the Stellar ecosystem. SDF’s Audit Bank initiative allows for a smooth and streamlined review process, and is a clear reflection of the Stellar ecosystem’s enhanced commitment to security. –Robert Chen, CEO of OtterSec
 

Leading projects within the Soroban ecosystem have highlighted the impact of the Audit Bank

Finding a good auditor is difficult, expensive, and high-stakes. The Audit Bank streamlines the process and supports ecosystem projects with security review at critical growth milestones. –Markus Paulson, Co-Founder of Script3
The audit firms we worked with deeply understood the full ecosystem and the underlying protocols used. Their expertise and the tools from the Audit Bank strengthened our security and supported user and investor trust. –Esteban Iglesias Manríquez, Co-Founder of Palta.Labs

What's New in 2025: Enhanced Audit Support for Soroban Builders

Teams building financial protocols, high-dependency data services, high-traction dApps funded by the Stellar Community Fund are able to request an audit and will typically be matched with a reputable audit firm within two weeks. We recently restructured the program for this year to enhance audit efficiency and incentivize accountability, and rapid and complete vulnerability remediation:

  • Complimentary Initial Audit: Projects will need to contribute 5% of the audit cost upfront, but this co-payment amount is eligible for a full refund, provided that critical, high, and medium vulnerabilities identified are swiftly remediated within 20 business days of receiving the initial audit report (learn more).
  • Incentivized Security at Key Traction Milestones: Complimentary, extensive follow-up audits are available as projects achieve critical traction milestones (e.g., $10M and $100M TVL). These audits include deeper assessments such as formal verification or competitive audits, significantly boosting project security at pivotal stages.
  • Advanced Security Tooling: Projects can enhance their security self-serve through complimentary or discounted access to specialized tooling, which provide vulnerability detection and formal verification capabilities (see full list of available tooling). These tools are encouraged to capture ‘easy-to-spot’ issues prior to audit as well as a final check post-audit to increase the effectiveness and thoroughness of audits.
  • Enhanced Audit Readiness Support: Projects receive structured preparation support, including the implementation of best practices and security standards based on the STRIDE threat modeling framework. This ensures project teams are thoroughly prepared, optimizing audit efficiency and minimizing delays.
