The majority of media coverage focuses on developments in major cryptocurrency projects. However, new innovative projects are continuously entering the market, educating users about their value while rewarding them with cryptocurrency airdrops.
Here are three to keep tabs on.
Gen-O
Gen-O is developing a global, decentralized identity protocol on the Solana blockchain. Users can claim unique Gen-O identity numbers (e.g., [Gen0XXXXXXX]), which serve as digital signatures across Web3 platforms. While the date for token distribution is not available yet, the project is currently in the early alpha phase. It strongly indicates a future airdrop for early adopters and active community members.
Eligibility will likely be based on early participation, identity creation, and community engagement, such as referral programs and social activity.
Avantis
Avantis is built on the Base network, allowing users to trade synthetic assets such as crypto, forex, and commodities via perpetual contracts. It has attracted major investors like Pantera Capital and Galaxy Digital and has seen rapid growth with over $3 billion in trading volume and more than 30,000 users.
While it does not have a token, the project runs an XP (experience points) loyalty campaign. The XP earned through trading, liquidity provision, and referrals could factor into eligibility for a future airdrop once they release a token.
Season 2 of this campaign is active and will end on May 31, 2025. After that, a snapshot can be taken to determine airdrop recipients.
Inertia
Inertia is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on the Initia blockchain, offering modular liquid restaking tokens (LRT) and lending services. To incentivize early adoption and protocol testing, Inertia launched an airdrop through a testnet, allowing participants to earn $INRT, Inertia’s native token.
The testnet runs from March 17, 2025, to April 8, 2025. Testnet participants will be eligible for $INRT token rewards. The amount earned depends on points accumulated through protocol interactions.
Because information can change at any time, users who are serious about gaining rewards from airdrops need to stay current. The best ways to do this are to regularly visit the official websites and participate in official social media pages.
