How To Land the Next Big Airdrop if You Missed Aptos

Airdrop opportunities from L2 Rollup Arbitrum, the SUI testnet, and zkSync are on the horizon for those who missed the Aptos ATP drop on October 19, 2022.

On October 20, 2022, the Aptos Foundation airdropped 20,076,150 APT tokens to 110,235 participants, raising up to $6,000 for some community members.

The Aptos network is a layer one blockchain that focuses on scalability and modularity. Two former Meta employees started the project. It uses a smart contract programming language called MOVE. Additionally, it improves transaction throughput through a process called pipelining. It’s also modular, allowing for frequent upgrades.

Airdrops are often used to generate excitement about a new crypto project. Users qualify to receive free crypto coins or tokens for specific tasks aimed at promoting a specific project. The company or project can use this awareness in future fundraising opportunities such as initial coin offerings.

While Aptos only allowed community members to claim APT who met certain criteria, other networks are rolling out airdrops in the coming weeks and months that could prove even more lucrative. What follows is not a complete list.

NFT airdrop opportunities

Blur.io, an NFT marketplace and aggregator for professional traders, has started offering air drop on October 19, 2022. The airdrops consist of care packages for trading NFTs in the past six months. The care packages contain BLUR tokens that will only be visible in January 2023 when Blur.io starts its governance. A larger Airdrop 2 will go to those “actively listing on Blur,” while the first Airdrop is designed to drive traffic to the site. You can still qualify for the first airdrop if you list an NFT on Blur.io in the next 13 days. You can qualify for the second round in Nov. 2022.

L2 rollup airdrop opportunities

Rumors also suggest that Ethereum Layer-Two Rollup Arbitrum could soon airdrop ARBI tokens. The tokens could arrive in Q4 2022 or early 2023. To become eligible, some suggest bridging to Arbitrum to bring funds through. Also, earlier this year, the L2 solution announced Arbitrum Odyssey to qualify you for certain Arbitrum NFTs that could be part of the airdrop eligibility criteria. The Odyssey included a list of weekly tasks that would qualify you for an NFT upon completion. Offchain Labs paused Odyssey to allow Arbitrum to upgrade to Nitro. Since the Nitro upgrade happened close to the Ethereum merge, Arbitrum team will likely reactivate Odyssey soon.

Joining Arbitrum’s Discord could also qualify you for an airdrop.

Layer One Chain SUI will drop tokens to users on its testnet. Users can download the SUI wallet Google Chrome extension and fill it with SUI testnet tokens. The testnet tokens are available through SUI’s Discord server or through a SUI faucet on its NFT marketplace.

To increase the chances of getting ZKS tokens from zero-knowledge L2 rollup zkSync, you need to interact with the zkSync testnet, do some bridging activities to zkSync, with various decentralized applications, an NFT platform and a wallet service to interact. See this Twitter thread for more details.

Upcoming DeFi application airdrops

Don’t forget DeFi protocols.

Rage Trade, a new derivatives protocol that relies on ETH prices, was recently launched on Arbitrum. The protocol has not yet released its RAGE token. By depositing Tricrypto liquidity into the protocol and opening a leveraged position on an ETH perpetual contract, one could qualify for an airdrop.

A new lending and borrowing protocol for Ethereum called Sturdy Finance has implied on a future airdrop. To qualify, it can be helpful to put down some stablecoins as collateral and borrow against them.

Finally, that Starknet ecosystem may also soon host multiple airdrops. Starknet is a zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum. An automated market maker called 10KSwap currently live on StarkNet has implied in the event of a possible airdrop. At the same time, a DeFi protocol called Alpha Road Finance will airdrop ASTR tokens. You can invest, wager and claim rewards at Alpha Road Finance to qualify.
