October 2024: The Top 4 Crypto Airdrops to Watch

As October rolls into its third week, four major crypto projects—Ether.fi, DeBank, ReOwn (formerly WalletConnect), and Pretzel—are offering exciting airdrops for their communities. Here's a look at these key opportunities.

Ether.fi: Airdrop for Stakers

Ether.fi, a protocol enabling Ethereum liquid restaking, has launched its Season 3 airdrop for stakers. The project, backed by $32.32 million in funding from notable investors like ConsenSys, OKX Ventures, Amber Group, and Aave’s Stani Kulechov, is carving out its role in Ethereum’s staking ecosystem.

The airdrop is aimed at engaging Ethereum Layer-2 (L2) users, rewarding them for their participation. To be eligible, users had to complete tasks like wallet linking, staking assets from Symbiotic, Karak, or EigenLayer, and tracking updates within the ether.fi ecosystem. Past airdrops have seen millions of tokens distributed to active users.

Season 4 of the staking program is also underway, starting on September 15. This season introduces a new format, with mini-seasons lasting four months each, instead of a set end date.

DeBank: XP Token Airdrop

DeBank, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) portfolio tracker, is distributing airdrops as part of its XP token campaign. After raising $25 million in funding from major investors like Coinbase, Circle, and DragonFly Capital, DeBank is rewarding its most active users.

To qualify, users must have executed at least one transaction or held assets on the platform by the July 4, 2024 snapshot. Those who participated in DeBank’s referral program will also receive 50 XP per referral. The XP tokens are key to claiming future airdrops once the XP token is officially launched.

On October 10, DeBank introduced a new badge to further incentivize engagement, with these badges contributing to airdrop eligibility.

ReOwn (Ex-WalletConnect): Airdrop Registration Closing Soon

ReOwn (formerly WalletConnect) is wrapping up its airdrop registration this week, with token claims expected to begin in November. The airdrop eligibility depends on past activity within the WalletConnect network, with higher chances for users who have engaged with the platform through wallet connections and on-chain actions.

Additionally, users contributing to projects related to CAIPs, EIPs, or Ethereum SDKs could qualify. Those who mint the WalletConnect badge automatically rank among the top 1% of airdrop participants, giving them priority access to future distributions.


Pretzel: Airdrop for Game Enthusiasts

Pretzel, an L2 project built on Berachain that supports gaming economies, is offering an airdrop for users involved in its testnet activities. By completing tasks such as staking, bridging, playing games, and finishing Galxe quests, users can accumulate points, which will be converted into a portion of the upcoming PRET token airdrop during the token generation event (TGE).

Participants can earn points by actively engaging with the Pretzel ecosystem, improving their chances of receiving a share of the airdrop once the PRET tokens are released.
