Xterio: Merging Blockchain and Free-to-Play Gaming
Xterio is a Web3 gaming platform that blends free-to-play mechanics with blockchain, enabling true digital ownership. Co-founder Jeremy Horn has expressed strong confidence in the project’s future, particularly in its Q4 developments, which he believes will contribute to the growth of the space. In a recent update on the Token 2049 event in Singapore, Horn stated:
“I’m confident that Xterio’s strong Q4 lineup will help move the space forward, demonstrating how solid fundamentals and Web3 incentives can sustainably support a token ecosystem’s growth.”
To participate in the airdrop, users sign up and engage with the Age of Dino mini-game and other activities to earn XTER points and ROAR rewards. The platform also introduced a dashboard where participants can track their progress. The XTER token will be airdropped following the token generation event (TGE), and players can earn rewards through gameplay and NFT collection.
Vana: Revolutionizing AI and Data Ownership
Vana is a decentralized platform that empowers users to take control of their personal data, enabling them to own, govern, and monetize it. With a focus on AI and data ownership, Vana offers a unique Layer-1 blockchain experience. Participants can create their “Digital Self” using Virtual DNA (VNA) to navigate the “Vanaverse” and unlock personalized experiences.
Vana’s Telegram-based mini-app allows users to mine VANA tokens by completing challenges like tapping, inviting friends, and playing games. To start, participants need to connect their TON wallet and activate the Vana Data Hero Bot. This project puts data ownership directly in the hands of users, shifting power away from centralized tech companies.
Neon: Bridging Ethereum and Solana
Neon is introducing the first parallelized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on the Solana blockchain, allowing developers to launch Ethereum-based dApps on Solana with minimal adjustments. After raising $45 million in funding from investors like Jump Capital, Solana Ventures, and Three Arrows Capital, the Neon mainnet airdrop is now live.
To qualify for airdrops, participants complete various tasks, such as following instructions, tracking updates, and performing daily on-chain activities. Unlike Vana and Xterio, Neon rewards users with Neon Points based on the volume and number of their daily transactions. New users can participate by adding the Neon network to their EVM wallet, while Solana users can use NeonPass to bridge their funds into the ecosystem.
