On February 20th, Starknet opened its airdrop distribution, and the token was listed on major exchanges the same day, with the price soaring to $7 at one point, allowing many people to earn a substantial income from STRK.
Those who participated in Starknet are now looking for the next Alpha project.
Those who missed this opportunity hope not to miss the next one.
In 2024, which projects are worth our time and effort to interact with?
In this article, we will list 7 projects worth seizing in 2024. Most of these projects are potential airdrop projects expected by the market, some are transparent airdrop projects, and some are still in the testnet stage, with zero-cost interaction.
Transparent Airdrop Projects
Linea
Linea is a zk-rollup designed by ConsenSys R&D and operated by ConsenSys. It allows developers to deploy any smart contract, use any tool, and develop just like building on Ethereum. For users, this makes it possible to experience Ethereum's security and usability while reducing transaction costs.
Linea has launched several rounds of Odyssey events and recently launched Linea Park. Linea allows users to earn LXP by completing tasks. Participation in Linea Odyssey requires prior proof of humanity (POH) verification: https://poh.linea.build/. Although POH is troublesome, it also indirectly reflects that the probability of being bewitched after POH should be greatly reduced.
Kroma
Kroma is a general ZK Rollup based on the Optimism Bedrock architecture, developed by Lightscale. Initially, Kroma uses Scroll-based zkEVM as an Optimistic Rollup with ZK fault proof. Kroma's goal is to transition to ZK Rollup once the cost-effective and faster generation of ZK proofs becomes available. Kroma is deployed on the Sepolia testnet for further testing and optimization.
This L2 project from South Korea has already disclosed its token economics: the token is expected to be issued in 2024, with 7% of the total token supply allocated to the community.
The 9-week Odyssey event just ended in January. Friends who missed it can refer to the Odyssey task design to make up for the on-chain records:
Official Cross-chain Bridge: Visit Kroma's official website and click on Bridge in the navigation bar to experience the official cross-chain bridge, transferring any amount from the Ethereum mainnet to Kroma.
Ecosystem Cross-chain Bridge: Experience the cross-chain bridge that supports the Kroma ecosystem. In the previous Odyssey event, Owlto Finance was recommended. If Owlto also issues tokens, interacting with it also provides an opportunity to receive rewards. After completing the interaction, you can log in to the TaskOn platform to verify task completion and have a chance to receive Owlto's Valentine's Day reward. In this event, Owlto has introduced a point system, so complete as many tasks as possible to earn more points.
LP Pooling: Create LP on iZUMi, which requires at least 3 days.
Domain Name Purchase: Purchase a domain name on hypermarkett.
Discord Role: Obtaining a Discord role is relatively easy for self-protection.
Potential Projects
Scroll
Scroll is Ethereum's native zkEVM Layer 2 solution, enabling native compatibility with existing Ethereum applications and tools. Scroll processes off-chain transactions and publishes concise correctness proofs on-chain. Compared to the Ethereum base layer, this results in higher throughput and lower costs.
LayerZero
LayerZero is an interoperability protocol designed for lightweight cross-chain messaging. LayerZero provides trusted and guaranteed message delivery, with configurable trustlessness.
zkSync
zkSync is a Layer 2 scaling solution developed by Matter Labs, which preserves the security properties of the underlying blockchain by utilizing the latest generation of succinct zero-knowledge proofs. All funds in zkSync are held by smart contracts on the main chain, while computation and storage are executed off-chain. For each Rollup block, a state transition zero-knowledge proof (SNARK) is generated and verified by the main chain contract. This SNARK includes validity proofs for each transaction in the Rollup block.
These three projects have been referred to as top-tier projects alongside Starknet. Starknet has already launched its token, and its price performance has been quite good. Let's see the subsequent efforts of these three projects. There are countless online tutorials on interacting with these three projects, and there are also rich ideas for supplementing Tx.
According to Starknet's rules, when interacting, it is advisable to pay attention to: active duration (ideally more than 3 months); wallet balance.
If there are multiple addresses, you can use a data query tool to check for omissions and make up for them. There are many data query tools online, and this is just a demonstration.
Testnet Projects
Berachain
Berachain is a DeFi-based EVM-compatible L1 built on the Cosmos SDK and supported by liquidity proof-of-stake.
Valued at $420 million, with $42 million in funding, led by Polychain. Berachain announced the launch of the Artio public testnet on January 11th. Within a few days of its launch, the address count exceeded 1 million.
- Claiming Test Tokens: Initially, 1 test token could be claimed every 8 hours, but recently it has been reduced to 0.1. Additionally, due to the multitude of projects in the Berachain ecosystem, there have been instances of insufficient test tokens, so daily claiming is necessary to sustain subsequent interactions.
Based on the classification on the Berachain official website, interaction types can be divided into: Swap (BEX), Liquidity Provision (BEX), Governance (BGT Station), Mint (Honey), Lending (Bend), and Trading (Berps).
Swap & Liquidity Provision: On BEX, click on Swap to exchange a portion of BERA for STGUSDC and HONEY (can be exchanged for others, but for subsequent operations with honey, a portion can be exchanged for STGUSDC); click on Pool, select the token pair, and provide liquidity.
Mint: In Honey, mint STGUSDC into HONEY (currently only supports minting STGUSDC).
Lending: Complete on Bend, currently undergoing upgrades, functionality temporarily suspended.
Trading: Access BERPS, currently supporting BTC, ETH, ATON, TIA contracts. Ensure that there are 10 HONEY in the account before opening a contract.
Keep an eye on the quest updates on The Honey Jar, complete the tasks inside, and corresponding badges will be issued when the tasks end.
Domain Creation: Create a domain on Beraname.
Fuel
Fuel is a UTXO-based modular execution layer that brings globally accessible scalability to Ethereum. As a modular execution layer, Fuel can achieve global throughput in ways that a single-chain cannot, while inheriting the security of Ethereum.
Raised $80 million. Launched beta-4 testnet in September.
Participation in the testnet requires creating a Fuel wallet.
Claim test tokens.
Use swayswap.
