Blockchain projects frequently rely on crypto airdrops to raise awareness, grow their community, and increase the value of their products. After all, the survival of a project depends on its ability to attract and grow its user base. Users, of course, have nothing to complain about. After all, who doesnât love free stuff? People have made as much as US$10,000 from crypto airdrops, all without putting in a single cent. We have compiled a list of the top cryptocurrency airdrops and evaluated them.
Lagrange is a company that specializes in enabling verifiable computation over blockchain data at scale, using their hyper-parallel ZK Coprocessor and State Committee products to support data-intensive and cross-chain applications.

Sanctum is a platform on Solana that aims to make staking more flexible. It wants to turn all the SOL tokens you stake into something you can easily trade, like a special kind of token called Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs). Sanctum has officially finalised its airdrop campaign, known as Sanctum Wonderland, which is currently in Season 1. And with our guide, you can start passively earning every second! Here is our Sanctum token airdrop guide.
Check out our step-by-step guide!
https://youtube.com/live/2I93BZ0L_Ek
Sanctum Airdrop is OFFICIALLY LIVE!! (So many LSTs)
What is Sanctum?
Sanctum is a project focused on enhancing the liquid staking ecosystem on the Solana blockchain. Hereâs a brief summary of Sanctum’s main features:
Mission: To make all SOL staked and all staked SOL liquid, aiming for a future where Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) are easily accessible to everyone.
Core Functions: The app includes various tabs that house its core functions, designed to facilitate the issuance and investment in LSTs.
Developer Support: Provides technical documentation for developers interested in the project.
Accessibility: Strives to allow users to issue their own LSTs without liquidity concerns and to explore a wide range of LSTs for investment.
Sanctum has recently closed a funding round led by Dragonfly Capital and other top VCs for US$6.1 million dollars.
How to get the Sanctum token airdrop?
Time needed: 1 hour
Here’s how to get the Sanctum token airdrop
Obtain Solana ($SOL) tokens
Get some Solana ($SOL) tokens onto your Solana wallet. Solana ($SOL) tokens can be obtained from most major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Bybit or BingX.
Sign up for Bybit and stand to win an iPhone 15 Pro Max HERE Sign up for BingX for sign up bonuses HERE
Stake SOL tokens for Infinty or liquid staking tokens
Connect your wallet to https://app.sanctum.so/infinity and stake your SOL tokens for Infinity ($INF) tokens. Infinity ($INF) tokens are a yield-bearing asset pegged to Solana. You can also stake SOL tokens for liquid staking tokens (LSTs).
Swap SOL tokens for Infinty tokens
On the same page as step 2 above, go to the “Swap” tab and swap other Liquid Staking Tokens into Infinity ($INF) tokens.
Deposit Infinity ($INF) to Kamino Finance
Connect your wallet to https://app.kamino.finance/. On the “Borrow/Lend” tab, scroll down to the INF market. Click “Supply” to deposit your Infinity ($INF) tokens. This is so you can farm points for Season 2. Note however there is a downside of no supply or borrow APY being distributed for this. This means you will not be earning yield from supplying $INF on Kamino.
Deposit INF into Meteora’s DLMM Pools
Meteora is another liquidity hub. It does not have a token yet, but there is a possibility that it may have one and do a token airdrop in the future. Meteora however has DLMM Pools for INF, which you can pair with SOL in order to farm a potential airdrop. To deposit INF into Meteora’s DLMM Pools, connect your wallet to https://app.meteora.ag/ and go to the “DLMM” tab at the top of the page. Find an INF-SOL pool to deposit your tokens. You may want to consider looking for pools to deposit that have the highest volume and TVL.
However, when depositing onto Meteora’s DLMM Pools, be cautious of impermanent loss risks and remember to actively monitor your position.
Alternative: deposit to normal pools on Meteora
For a slightly lower risk alternative to DLMM Pools, you can consider using normal pools on Meteora. These can be found under the “Pools” tab. However, when using the normal pools, you should be aware of the Virtual Price value, which represents the value of your deposited LP token. The Virtual Price indicates if you are earning or losing money on your LP tokens. If the Virtual Price value is above 1, then you are earning from fees. For example, a Virtual Price value of 1.003 means that you are effectively earning 0.3% of the fees from this pool. On the other hand, if the Virtual Price value is less than 1, then it means you are losing money on your LP tokens.
Note however you should still actively monitor your position on the pools you have deposited assets into on Meteora or any other protocol.
NEW: Participate in Sanctum Wonderland Season 1
To participate in Sanctum Wonderland Season 1, connect your wallet to https://app.sanctum.so/wonderland and use our code 94MIOB if you’d like. This will give us both an extra XP boost!
Get a Sanctum Pet
Sanctum has a total of 18 pets, and each LST has its corresponding Pet. To get a Sanctum Pet, you will only need to hold a minimum of 0.1 SOL worth of the corresponding LST. To get the Pet, click on its image and then “Buy”. Each Pet you own will allow you to earn 10 EXP per minute for every 1 SOL worth of the corresponding LST that you hold.
Level up and evolve your Pet
Your Pets will automatically level up as they gain EXP. The maximum level a Pet can reach is level 999. Upon reaching a certain level, Pets will evolve, and there are a maximum of 3 evolutions per Pet. This feature is coming soon so stay tuned!

Tensor is a Solana-based NFT marketplace that offers a unique fee structure to its users, similar to Blur on Ethereum. The Season 3 airdrop has ended and Tensor ($TNSR) tokens are available to claim. This is our Tensor ($TNSR) token airdrop guide.
Tensor Airdrop Step-by-step Guide
Hereâs how to receive a potential Tensor token airdrop:
Bidding, listing, and market-making on more popular NFT collections.
Bidding and listing closer to the floor price.
Keeping your bids and listings active as long as possible.
Tensor is an NFT marketplace on Solana that provides better coverage, more data, and advanced order types. With a 1% taker fee and no maker fee, users can create listing, bidding, and market-making orders without incurring any charges.
Moreover, Tensor pays full royalties on specific collections, while applying a 0% royalty rate on others. When purchasing a listed item or instantly selling to a bid, users pay the enforced royalties during the checkout process. It’s important to note that Tensor may adjust its fees and royalties in the future.
Does Tensor have a Token?
The Tensor ($TNSR) token is their governance token. It is used by the community to manage key parameters of the Tensor Protocols. Tensor token holders are also entitled to discounts when trading on Tensor’s protocols. Listings created in $TNSR also have a 25% reduction in protocol fee. As for their tokenomics, the team have confirmed in their FAQs that 12.5% of the Tensor token supply will be distributed in an initial airdrop.
How to Claim Season 3 Airdrop
Connect your wallet to the Tensor airdrop claim pageHERE. Your airdrop allocation will automatically be displayed on the page. The airdrop claim will be available until 5th October 2024. The Treasure Boxes have also all been opened and the $TNSR released.
How to Qualify for the Tensor Season 2 Airdrop?
To qualify for the Tensor Season 2 airdrop, there are three criteria: bidding, listing, and market-making. These three activities must be done on TensorSwap only, and you can earn more points by doing the following:
Bidding, listing, and market-making on more popular NFT collections.
Bidding and listing closer to the floor price.
Keeping your bids and listings active as long as possible.
Market-making is perhaps the easiest of the three options, as any bid that is accepted will be automatically converted into a listing, and any listing that is accepted will be automatically converted into a bid. As an added bonus, you can earn fees in the process!
But if you are bidding and listing on TensorSwap and they are taken, it will stop earning points. Additionally, it is important to note that the following actions won’t earn you any points:
Bidding and listing too far away from the floor price.
Bidding and listing on obscure NFT collections.
Wash trading (buying and selling NFTs to themselves).
Tensor season 3 airdrop eligibility criteria
Tensor season 3 airdrop participants will be distributed Treasure Boxes. These Treasure Boxes contain an amount of Tensor ($TSNR) tokens proportional to the users’ use of Tensor’s protocols.
How to get the Tensor ($TNSR) season 4 airdrop
How to get the Tensor ($TNSR) season 4 token airdrop
Bid
Connect your Solana wallet (e.g. Phantom wallet) to https://www.tensor.trade/. Find an NFT collection you would be interested in and click. Choose the NFT you wish to buy or bid. As you may earn more points for more trades, it is recommended to so several trades.
Sell NFTs
To list NFTs on Tensor, go to the “Sell” tab. You have the option to choose âSell now,â which allows you to immediately sell any NFTs you own for SOL if there is an open collection-wide bid. To quick sell, hover over the NFT and click “sell”, then confirm the transaction. Another option is the bulk sell mode. To bulk sell, use the slider or click on the NFTs to select which ones you wish to sell. Click on the “Sell” button which will also show you your total sell proceeds, and confirm the transaction.
List NFTs
Listing NFTs on Tensor has 2 main benefits. First, the total fees are capped at 1.4% taker fee plus royalties if enforced. Secondly, you can sell on Bonding Curves. This means you can sell the 1st NFT for X SOL, the 2nd NFT for X + Y SOL, and the 3rd NFT for X+2Y SOL etc. This allows you to receive more for your NFTs as the price increases automatically.
To list on Tensor, click on the “List” tab. Set the number of NFTs you would like to list for sale, you can choose between listing in bulk by using the slider or select each NFT individually from the gallery. Then, specify the starting price i.e. the price you want to sell your 1st NFT for. You can then specify the “increase by” or “delta”, which is the amount of price increase after each NFT purchase. For example, if you set the starting price for the NFT at 4.5 SOL and specified an increase of 0.5 SOL, the first NFT sale will occur at 4.5 SOL, the second at 5.0 SOL, the third at 5.5 SOL, and so on until all the NFTs have been sold. Before signing the transaction, the system will display the exact amount of SOL you would receive if you were able to sell all the NFTs you are listing.
Market-make
To market-make on Tensor, toggle to Pro Mode at the bottom of the TensorSwap interface. Then, click on the “Trade” tab on the top left hand corner, then go to the “Market-make” tab. Set the maximum number of NFTs you want to buy initially and deposit enough SOL to cover this purchase. Select the NFTs from your wallet that you are willing to sell and set the starting price. The starting price is the price you intend to start selling your first NFT and will be the benchmark for subsequent price changes. Set the price change mechanism, i.e. the amount of price change (in SOL or %) after each buy or sell transaction. Next, set the desired fee, this is the fee percentage you wish to earn from the spread between the buy and sell prices. Check the summary to see the amount of SOL needed for buying NFTs and your potential earnings from selling your NFTs. Finally, sign the transaction in your wallet and send your market-making order to star trading.
Note, be aware of impermanent loss and do not deposit rare NFTs into market-making orders.
Use price lock
Tensor’s price lock feature allows users to “lock-in” a buy or sell price for 7 days. With price locks, you can either be the taker (i.e. to buy the price lock) or a maker (i.e. to fund the price lock).
Airdrop Review
When reviewing an airdrop, there are several factors to consider. First, the likelihood the project will even do an airdrop in the first place. Then, to look at how many tokens the project intends to allocate towards airdrop campaigns, as well as the difficulty in participating in their airdrop. It is also important to look at the utility of the token so that there will be an actual use and purpose in participating in the airdrop in the first place. Finally, a factor to consider when reviewing an airdrop is whether the airdropped tokens are subject to any lockup period.
Likelihood of Airdrop: Tensor has confirmed a Season 2 airdrop and is now live.
Airdropped Token Allocation: 12.5% of the Tensor token supply will be distributed in an initial airdrop.
Airdrop Difficulty:Â It is recommended to position yourself for this airdrop only if you have experience trading Solana NFTs. This is because you will be trading with real NFTs and funds.
Token Utility: The Tensor team has not yet published details of the token’s utilities. But it is likely to be similar to Blur, used for governance of the marketplace.

Venom Foundation have launched a $1 billion fund to invest in Web3 and blokchain firms. And is launching a layer-0 blockchain that will function as the main infrastructure for a global ecosystem of Web3 applications. According to their whitepaper, 22% of the initial token supply will be allocated to the community. This is very likely to be an airdrop to early users. Venom has launched their mainnet on 18th March 2024 and their $VENOM token will be listed on 25th March 2024! Here is our Venom token airdrop guide.
Check out our video on the latest news and predictions for the upcoming potential Venom token airdrop!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl_Sz53_038
What is happening to Venom?
On 16th December 2023, Venom Foundation announced on Twitter as of 14th December 2023, they will no longer continue operating in ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market). Therefore, Venom Foundation will begin the dissolution process. They have however, mentioned that they are open to exploring future opportunities within ADGM. However, it does mean that it is unlikely there will be a Venom airdrop in the foreseeable future.
Step-by-Step Venom Testnet Guide
What is Venom Foundation?
Venom Foundation is a new layer-0 blockchain that envisions a global economy built on decentralized, blockchain-based, financial systems. They are a new player in the financial application-specific blockchain (appchain) space, offering real-world assets (RWA) with the transparency of a blockchain. They are fully regulated by financial authorities in Abu Dhabi.
The architecture of Venom Foundation is essentially a modular blockchain that is built on its own Threaded Virtual Machine (TVM). This allows for the efficient execution of smart contracts through an asynchronous communication model as well as dynamic sharding.
In theory, the Venom blockchain can handle interactions between accounts more effectively than EVM-based networks, allowing for greater parallelism and reduced delays. As the network experiences heavy loads, validators divide into parallel groups and handle transactions through âsplit events.â As such, their mission is to be the infrastructure for the next generation of digital services and products.
Does Venom Foundation have a Token?
$VENOM, the native currency of the Venom blockchain, serves multiple purposes. It is used to pay transaction fees, which helps maintain the network and compensate validators. Additionally, it secures the network through a proof-of-stake mechanism and allows network participants to support validators via DePools staking.
According to their whitepaper, the $VENOM token has no fixed maximum supply. It has an inflationary model, with a projected annual inflation rate of 1%. However, the Venom Foundation is exploring ways to transition to a deflationary model. It is worth noting that 22.0% of the tokens will be allocated towards the community, and 10% will be unlocked at TGE.
Venom have confirmed their $VENOM token will be listed on 25th March 2024 on Bybit, OKX, MEXC, gate.io, Poloniex and Web3.world.
The best way to get the $VENOM airdrop is to interact with the Venom Network Testnet. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Create a Venom Wallet
Go to the Venom Network Testnet, and install a Venom Wallet (Chrome users can download here). Pin the wallet to your Google Chrome Extension at the top right.

Airdrop Review
When reviewing an airdrop, there are several factors to consider. First, the likelihood the project will even do an airdrop in the first place. Then, to look at how many tokens the project intends to allocate towards airdrop campaigns, as well as the difficulty in participating in their airdrop. It is also important to look at the utility of the token so that there will be an actual use and purpose in participating in the airdrop in the first place. Finally, a factor to consider when reviewing an airdrop is whether the airdropped tokens are subject to any lockup period.
Likelihood of Airdrop: Based on recent events, Venom Foundation is unlikely to do an airdrop.
Airdropped Token Allocation: 22% of the initial token supply will be allocated to the community. However, it is unlikely that Venom would do an airdrop.
Airdrop Difficulty: The Venom Testnet page is very UI-friendly. It shows you the tasks you can complete for each DApp!
Token Utility: $VENOM will be used to pay for transaction fees to maintain the network by validators, secure the network through proof-of-stake mechanisms, and support validators by network participants through DePools staking.
Token Lockup: Of the initial supply of 7.2 billion $VENOM, 15.5% will be available to use, while 84.5% will remained locked. The locked tokens include 10% of the initial supply as a stake of early validators. However, it is unlikely that Venom would do an airdrop.
Dymension ($DYM) comprises a network of swiftly deployable and high-speed modular blockchains known as RollApps. The projects have just finished their airdrop, and those who had just staked 1 Celestia ($TIA) tokens were able to get thousands of Dymension ($DYM) tokens! However, even if you did not manage to get the Dymension ($DYM) token airdrop, it is still worth getting some tokens so you can stake it. This is to position yourself for more airdrops in the future just like Celestia! Here is our Dymension ($DYM) token staking guide for MORE airdrops!
Check out our Dymension ($DYM) Token Staking Guide!

And check out our other video on other airdrop rewards offered to Dymension ($DYM) stakers HERE.
What is Dymension ($DYM)?
Dymension is a groundbreaking blockchain network characterized by its modular blockchains known as RollApps. These RollApps serve as the front-end, offering users a platform for diverse applications such as games, decentralized finance (DeFi), and NFTs. Central to its operation is the Dymension Hub, akin to a back-end server, which orchestrates network activities, manages requests from RollApps, and ensures cohesive functionality within the ecosystem. In its architecture, Dymension incorporates Data Availability Networks via Celestia, paralleling the role of databases in traditional web setups. These networks provide temporary data storage, enhancing efficiency and adaptability. Complementing this structure is the Dymension RollApp Development Kit (RDK), based on the Cosmos SDK. This kit facilitates the creation of RollApps, offering essential tools and pre-built modules for developers to efficiently build and deploy their applications, each with distinct client and server components. Dymension distinguishes itself through its innovative consensus mechanism and interoperability features. RollApps delegate the consensus process to the Dymension Hub, which maintains network integrity and manages state root updates. This delegation enables rapid transaction processing and high transaction throughput. Furthermore, the networkâs design promotes smooth interoperability within the Cosmos ecosystem through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, fostering a connected and collaborative ecosystem.
How to stake Dymension ($DYM) tokens for more airdrops
Time needed:Â 15 minutes.
Here’s our guide on how to stake Dymension ($DYM) tokens for more airdrops.
Get Dymension ($DYM) tokens
Claim your Dymension ($DYM) tokens. If you missed the airdrop, you can still buy Dymension ($DYM) tokens on exchanges such as Bybit.
Connect your wallet (either MetaMask, Leap, Trust or Keplr wallets) to the Dymension portal at https://portal.dymension.xyz/dymension/staking. Also follow the steps to add the Dymension network to your wallet.
Choose a validator to delegate your Dymension ($DYM) tokens
Choose a validator to delegate your Dymension tokens to. Avoid picking validators associated with centralised exchanges, those will have the exchange in its name. We suggest delegating your Dymension ($DYM) tokens to the ValiDAO validator because they announced a ValiDAO ($VDO) token airdrop to all address who delegate their $DYM with their validator!
We also suggest delegating your Dymension ($DYM) tokens to the Enigma and Frens validators. Essentially, it is a good idea to delegate your Dymension ($DYM) tokens to validators with their own DAO because they are likely to make their own DAO token and airdrop it to you as a reward.
Delegate your Dymension ($DYM) tokens
Once you have chosen your validator, click “Stake”, select the amount of $DYM you wish to stake and click “Stake”. Note that staking will lock up your tokens for 21 days. To access your staked tokens again, you will need to go through the un-staking process.
Keep track of your validators
Keep track of any announcements from the validators you have delegated your $DYM with. Follow their Twitter, Discord and Telegram pages for any announcements regarding additional airdrops.
Check if you qualify for NIM Network airdrops
NIM Network have announced that all $DYM token stakers will be eligible to claim The Nim Genesis Drop, and can claim up to 50 million $NIM (i.e. 5% of the total supply). You can check if you qualified for the $NIM airdrop by going to https://claim.nim.network/ and entering your Dymension wallet address. If you do qualify, the $NIM tokens will automatically be airdropped to your Dymension wallet at TGE.
Stay up to date on the potential Aigisos ($AIG) airdrop
Aigisos ($AIG) is a RollApp focusing on security, and have been selected by Microsoft for Startups. The team have confirmed that 12% of the $AIG supply will be airdropped to $DYM token stakers as Genesis RollDrop. The $AIG tokens will be distributed during the mining of the Aigisos genesis block, which is expected to be in H1 of 2024. No further details have been released yet. So, follow Aigisos on Twitter to make sure you have the latest airdrop news.
Complete Rivals Network ($RIZ) Galxe tasks
Rivals Network ($RIZ) is an AI-driven Data Provenance DePIN RollApp built on Dymension and powered by Celestia. The team have already confirmed they will have a $RIZ token and are likely to do a token airdrop. This is because Rivals Network ($RIZ) has a Galxe page where you can complete various social tasks to mint an OAT.
Check eligibility for Dogmond ($DGM) airdrop
Dogmond ($DGM) is a memecoin similar to ChihuahuaChain ($HUAHUA). However, instead of being built on a blockchain, Dogmond will be built on a RollApp powered by Dymension. Dogmond have confirmed that 40% of their token supply will be allocated to $DYM stakers as a reward for their contribution towards network security and engagement. You can check your eligibility by pasting your wallet address HERE.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Which Dymension Validator to pick for MORE AIRDROPS?
We suggest the ValiDAO validator because they announced a ValiDAO ($VDO) token airdrop to all address who delegate their $DYM with their validator.
How to find the best Dymension Validator to get more airdrops?
The best Dymension validators are those with their own DAO. This is because they are likely to make their own DAO token and airdrop it to you as a reward. We suggest you follow their social media channels closely to get the latest news on any airdrop announcements.
How many Dymension ($DYM) tokens do you need to stake for airdrops?
The amount of Dymension ($DYM) tokens to stake for airdrops depends on the validator. Each validator will have their own airdrop eligibility criteria.
Eigenlayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that helps people who own Ethereum to keep their money safe and earn more rewards. With EigenLayer, people can use their Ethereum to help many different services stay safe at the same time. EigenLayer have already taken the airdrop snapshot, announced the eligibility criteria and claim details. Here’s our guide explaining the eligibility criteria and how you can claim the EigenLayer token airdrop.
Eigenlayer Airdrop: Most Disappointing Airdrop SO FAR?!
EigenLayer is a protocol that introduces a new primitive in cryptoeconomic security called restaking. This primitive enables users to reuse their ETH on the consensus layer and extend cryptoeconomic security to additional applications on the network. Users who stake ETH natively or with a Liquid Staking Token (LST) can opt-in to EigenLayer smart contracts to restake their ETH or LST and earn additional rewards.
What is interesting about EigenLayer is that they have raised $50 million in Series A funding led by Blockchain Capital. Other notable investors include Finality Capital, Electric Capital, Polychain Capital, Hack VC and Coinbase Ventures. With Coinbase Ventures backing EigenLayer, there is strong speculation that their token will be listed on either Coinbase or Binance.
How to get a potential EigenLayer token airdrop if deposits are paused
To get the potential EigenLayer token airdrop, simply connect to https://app.eigenlayer.xyz/ and connect your wallet. Then, click into your preferred pool, enter the amount of tokens you wish to deposit and click “Deposit”.
However, Liquid Restaking deposits are currently paused on EigenLayer because it is full. They sometimes reopen, but when it does, it is only for a few hours at a time. So it is importantly to SUBSCRIBE to Boxmining+ because we will be the first to let you know when it does!
There is an alternative solution to getting the potential EigenLayer token airdrop if liquid restaking deposits are full. However, there is a risk of using Ether.fi as a backdoor to getting into the EigenLayer token airdrop. This is because EigenLayer has not officially supported this as an alternative to getting the EigenLayer token airdrop.
Here’s how to get a potential EigenLayer token airdrop if EigenLayer deposits are paused:
Stake ETH: Choose the amount of ETH you wish to deposit and click “Stake”. But make sure the transaction fees are not expensive when staking. This is because they could be more than what you may potentially get from this airdrop. You will get eETH when you stake ETH on Ether.fi.
Earn rewards: You will earn the following rewards for staking on Ether.fi: APR, restaked APR, ether.fi loyalty points and Eigenlayer points.
Withdraw staked ETH: Withdraw your eETH on the “Stake” tab. Note it takes around 7 to 14 days. Or if you don’t want to wait 7 to 14 days, you can immediately swap your eETH for an alternative cryptoasset using any DEX. However, you will need to pay exchange fees for this.
How to qualify for potential Eigenlayer airdrop: Cheapest method, no Ethereum
Time needed: 1 hour
Here’s how to get a potential EigenLayer token airdrop if EigenLayer deposits are paused:
Withdraw Ethereum to Manta
Withdraw Ethereum on your centralized exchange account (e.g. Binance) to MetaMask using the Manta network. This is because it is extremely cheap to do this. For instance, Binance charged us 0.0001 ETH (around US$0.35) for this transaction, versus 0.003 ETH (around $10.48) for doing the same transaction using the Ethereum network. Note we chose the Manta network so we can get extra rewards on the Manta Renew Paradigm campaign. However, you can also use other networks such as Arbitrum, Base and Optimism.
Learn more about the Manta Renew Paradigm and our step by step guide HERE.
Join Manta’s New Paradigm
 You need an invite to join Mantaâs Renew Paradigm. Use the invite code HERE.
Swap ETH for STONE
You will need STONE in order to stake on Manta. To get STONE tokens, connect your wallet to https://app.aperture.finance/swap?chainId=169 and swap your ETH to STONE. Note, do not swap all your ETH as you will need some ETH to pay for upcoming transaction costs.
Stake STONE on protocols
On the staking dashboard, select your validator and stake your ETH. Make sure that you select a validator that offers Eigen Layer Points. For example Shoebill, LayerBank and ZeroLend offer LayerBank/ Shoebill/ ZeroLend rewards, Manta rewards, Stone Stake ETH rewards and Eigen Layer Points. You can choose to stake all your ETH on one or split your ETH between several protocols. We chose which protocol to supply and stake our STONE depending on the Supply APY offered. You can check the Supply APY on the protocol’s page. As at the time of writing, Shoebill offers 4.53% and ZeroLend offers 0.012% Supply APY. Whilst LayerBank offers 3.46% Supply APR.
See steps 5-6 for supplying and staking STONE on Shoebill. See steps 7-8 for supplying and staking STONE on ZeroLend. See steps 9-10 for supplying and staking STONE on LayerBank.
Note that token unstaking on Manta New Paradigm will only be enabled in May 2024.

DOT is $DED is a memecoin on Polkadot ($DOT) and is very popular amongst the Polkadot community. The team have confirmed that 100% of the token supply will be airdropped starting on 23rd March 2024! Here’s our DOT is $DED token airdrop guide.
DOT is $DED is a memecoin in the Polkadot ecosystem. According to the team, the goal of the project is to drive growth in the Polkadot ecosystem through onboarding new users, bringing in new liquidity and attracting new attention from the crypto community.
DOT is $DED is created by a team of Polkadot natives and $DOT token holders.
How to get the DOT is $DED token airdrop
Time needed: 1 hour
Here’s how to get the DOT is $DED token airdrop.
Get a Polkadot wallet
To get the airdrop, you will need a Polkadot wallet such as Subwallet, Talisman, Enkrypt or Polkadot.js. We use Subwallet which is a Chrome extension that can be downloaded here.
Subwallet is also a good choice because we can use it to stake Manta tokens for ecosystem airdrops. Check out our Manta token staking guide here.
Fund your wallet with Polkadot ($DOT) tokens
DOT is $DED will airdrop $DED tokens to any Polkadot $DOT token holders, including $DOT held on centralized exchanges. HOWEVER, the team have warned that it does not mean that the centralized exchanges would give $DED to their users.
Therefore, you should move your Polkadot into your SubWallet to get the airdrop or buy Polkadot ($DOT) tokens from centralized exchanges such as Bybit, Binance or KuCoin exchange.
Staking $DOT tokens on Polkadot means you will be nominating a validator. However, there are requirements for becoming a nominator on Polkadot. To become a nominator on Polkadot, you will need 250 $DOT to run a nomination pool and maintain a 100% uptime.
Join a nomination pool
Alternatively, you can join a nomination pool with only 1 $DOT! To join a nomination pool, connect your wallet to https://staking.polkadot.network/?utm_source=polkadot.network#/pools, go to “All Pools” and choose a nomination pool to stake your Polkadot. However, you can only bond your $DOT tokens to one pool at a time, and it will take 28 days to unbond your tokens from the pool.
To decide which Polkadot pool to stake your $DOT, we looked at https://polkadot.subscan.io/nomination_pool. In particular, we look at the “Reward Pool” and “Members” columns. We would look for pools that have higher Reward Pool but fewer Members. However, avoid the pools with “Destroying” or “Destroyed” as its status.
Stake $DOT on Bifrost
Go to https://bifrost.app/vstaking/vDOT and stake your $DOT to earn $vDOT. Bifrost is doing a campaign right now to further incentivize $vDOT holders until 10th March 2024! Note you will need to cross in (bridge) your $DOT to the Bifrost Polkadot network.
To mint the Deadmine NFT badge, go to https://ded.games/play/dedmine and play the Deadmine game. The goal of the game is to collect all 45 badges. No gas fees are required for this, and you may get a reward if you are able to collect all the badges.
Complete Zealy quests
Go to the DOT is DED Zealy questpage and complete the tasks. Tasks include reading articles, completing social tasks and creating content. They have a reward pool of 400 $DOT up for grabs!
Claim Zealy quest rewards
The first Zealy sprint has just concluded and the DOT is DED team have announced that rewards will be distributed in the next 7 days i.e. 12th March 2024. The team have also hinted that a new Zealy quest sprint will be coming soon.

io.net ($IO) is a decentralized computing network that allows AI engineers to access scalable distributed computing power. Massive Web3 investors are backing this huge Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) project. And they have officially announced the launch of its $IO token on 28th April 2024. This may be accompanied by an airdrop for participants in both the network and Galxe. Here is our io.net ($IO) token airdrop guide.
io.net, an enterprise-grade decentralized computing network, aggregates underutilized GPUs into a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) for AI/ML workloads. Its primary goal is to offer accessible compute resources at a reduced cost. Here are some main features of io.net.
Decentralized Computing: io.net is building an enterprise-grade decentralized computing network to provide machine learning engineers with distributed cloud clusters at a lower cost.
Mission and Vision: Their mission is to create the worldâs largest AI compute network, with IO as the currency of compute, powering an ecosystem for accessible compute resources.
Challenges and Solutions: They address challenges like limited availability, poor choice, and high costs in traditional cloud services by aggregating underutilized GPUs into a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN).
Core Functions: io.net supports batch inference, parallel training, hyperparameter tuning, and reinforcement learning, optimizing performance across a network of GPUs for AI/ML workloads.
io.net is backed by HackVC, Multicoin Capital, Sandbox, Delphi Digital and Aptos, among others.
How to get the io.net ($IO) token airdrop?
If you have limited GP resources, one simpler way of getting the potential io.net ($IO) token airdrop is to create a worker node and complete the Galxe tasks. However, we predict that you are likely to receive more airdropped io.net ($IO) tokens if you set up the worker node. Therefore, hereâs our guide on how to obtain the io.net ($IO) token airdrop, specifically focusing on setting up the worker node for MacOS.
Complete Galxe tasks
Go to io.net’s Galxe page and complete the tasks. These tasks not only involve following their social media pages but also getting Discord roles, as well as participating in their AMAs, completing daily tasks, and actively engaging on Discord for a specified number of days. Please note that you have until 30th April 2024 to complete these tasks2.
Sign up on io.net
Go to. https://cloud.io.net/login and create an account. Then, on the homepage, hover over the “io/cloud” logo on the top left hand corner and click “Worker”.
Set up worker
Firstly, on the homepage, hover over the âio/cloudâ logo at the top left-hand corner and click “Worker”. Afterwards, click âConnect New Workerâ at the top of the screen. Then, proceed by selecting your Operating System (for instance, Mac OS), Supplier, and finally, give your device a unique name and choose the device type.
Download and set up Docker Desktop
Download Docker Desktop for MAC OS HERE. Afterwards, choose the recommended settings when prompted.
Download and launch binary
On the Docker, click on “Containers” on the left hand side. Then, press the Command and Space keys on your keyboard to open the Terminal on your Mac. Paste each of the 3 commands on the webpage in step 3 above onto the Terminal and click “enter” after each one.
Wait for setup
After copying and pasting the commands onto Terminal in step 5 above you will need to wait for the setup to complete. Click “refresh” periodically whilst you are waiting. It could take up for 48 hours for the set up to be completed.
Check that your setup is complete.
To check that your setup is complete, type “docker ps” into your Terminal. If setup is completed the “CPU(%)” column will show a number. This number represents your CPU power.
The snapshot for Season 1 of the airdrop was taken on 25th April 2024.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the recommended specifications for setting up a Worker Node
Here are the recommended specifications for setting up a Worker Node: Windows OS, Computer GPU (Graphics Card)- RTX 3050 or higher.
Why does the status not say “Running”/ Why don’t I have the green icon?
If your status does not say “Running” or the green icon is not showing up, go to the “Control Panel” and then “Programs”. Then turn the Windows features on or off (as the case may be). Afterwards, go to “Enable” and you will see several files, tick the following: (1) Windows Subsystem for Linux; (2) Virtual Machine Platform; and (3) Windows Hypervisor Platform. This is so that your computer can talk to io.net.
Is KYC required for participating in the potential io.net airdrop?
No, you do not need to complete KYC for participating in the potential io.net airdrop.
What to do if you are still not connected to io.net or set up is not complete
The process may take up to 48 hours. If set up does not work, you may need to clear the cache, delete all containers and images, and set it up again. To stop and remove containers, type “sudo docker stop $(sudo docker ps -a -q); sudo docker rm $(sudo docker ps -q)” into Terminal. Then, follow the steps in this io.net ($IO) token airdrop guide to repeat the setup process again.
Note we’ve heard of people repeating this process about 8 times before they were finally connected to io.net.
How to clear the cache, delete all containers and images on io.net using a MAC device.
To clear the cache, delete all containers and images on io.net using MAC, type in “sudo docker stop $(sudo docker ps -a -q); sudo docker rm $(sudo docker ps -q)” on Terminal.
