Within 60 days of 2024, several large-scale projects have already launched airdrops. Projects such as JUP, DYM, ALT, and STRK have allowed the "hodlers" to fully experience the joy of a bountiful harvest. The "ebeggers" who were once crushed by the "inscription party" have finally turned the tables. However, the airdrop party is still ongoing. According to Daily Degen's estimates, there are expected to be dozens of projects that will launch coins and airdrops this year. Based on Daily Degen's summary article, the key participating projects are as follows.

Rabby Wallet

Rabby Wallet was developed by the DeBank team. In December 2022, DeBank completed a $25 million equity financing round at a valuation of $200 million, led by Sequoia China, with participation from Dragonfly, Hash Global, Youbi, Coinbase Venture, Crypto.com, Circle, and Ledger. DeBank Chain was launched last year, and in January of this year, Rabby Wallet introduced a points system.

The interaction method is also very simple. Download the Rabby Wallet from the project's official website, install and use it, and try to get as many points as possible. In addition, the social functions of the DeBank interface can also be interacted with more. If conditions permit, you can choose to mint a Web3 ID (96 USD).

Web3 mobile wallet startup Rainbow was born in 2019. It is an Ethereum open source self-hosted wallet that helps users manage their assets. Currently, it supports Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BSC, Base, and Zora networks.

Currently, Rainbow is launching a points program. Users can import wallet addresses with transaction activity on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Zora, Base, and BSC into Rainbow to receive "Traceability Points" (snapshot time ends at 17:00 UTC on December 11, 2023).

There is no need to elaborate on the background of MetaMask, which is backed by ConsenSys. Since the last cycle, it has already started airdropping to PUA users. The main interaction method is to use the wallet's built-in swap, cross-chain bridge and other functions.

Eigenpie

As a re-collateralization protocol, Eigenpie may not have prominent capital investments, but as of the time of writing, it has recorded a TVL of over 300 million US dollars, second only to Kelp DAO in the same field.

In March of this year, Eigenpie announced its token economics, specifying that 10% of the tokens will be airdropped to early supporters, and Eigenpie will introduce the EGP token through a fair launch with no participation from VCs or pre-sale activities. The team has officially abandoned token allocation and will distribute 15% of EGP tokens to Magpie Treasury. The team, which focuses on fair distribution, has always been a favorite of the community. Perhaps this grassroots staking protocol can bring some surprises to stakers.
