The most attractive upcoming game token airdrop
Airdrop season is in full swing, with many other applications, protocols, and projects taking advantage of signs of an impending bear market to finally drop their tokens and potentially reward millions of cryptocurrency users. death in this process.
But what exactly is an airdrop? When it comes to cryptocurrencies, airdrops are often a way for a project to reward early users and contributors by giving them a portion of newly launched tokens, while also spreading the tokens for decentralized governance.
When it comes to blockchain networks and gaming-specific tokens, there are going to be some pretty exciting airdrops in the coming months. Here's what's coming up for gamers, and there may still be time to get involved and get some tokens.
Pixels
Pixels is currently the hottest game on Axie Infinity's Ronin sidechain for Ethereum. The project concluded its latest “play-to-airdrop” campaign in January and just launched the PIXEL token on February 19 through Binance.
In addition to approximately 28,000 play-to-airdrop token recipients, Pixels is also giving away 20 million PIXEL to stakers on Ronin (RON). Furthermore, the game offered a whopping 350 million PIXEL to Binance customers through a pre-token generation event (TGE) launchpad campaign.
Portal
Portal is definitely one of the most popular airdrops of the future, although it also caused a lot of controversy. This multi-chain game token, designed to bridge the gap between Web3 games on various blockchains, incentivized users to earn airdrop credits by creating, sharing, and interacting with Twitter content — which they done in series.
It may be obnoxious, but there's still a lot of hype surrounding what Portal is building. Most of the team members come from the Overlord and Creepz NFT teams at SuperDuper. They recruited the Rockstar Games co-founder and other advisors, and joined hands with many allies such as major talent agency WME and NFT marketplace Magic Eden.
Portal says the airdrop will take place in January following the recent presale and launch of the latest version of the Crystal Dash farming airdrop experience. However, the schedule was extended and on February 16, the project said that it was the “last delay” before the token launch.
Saga Protocol
Saga is a new blockchain network designed primarily for gaming, so the way to earn a portion of the upcoming airdrop is by playing games. In December, Saga launched a “play-to-airdrop” campaign on select games running on the testnet, with those at the top of the leaderboard earning a portion of SAGA tokens.
In fact, Saga CEO Rebecca Liao said some gamers could earn “double the airdrops,” as the game could also launch its own tokens and reward early adopters. Mainnet Saga is expected to launch in spring 2024, with more competitions taking place in the coming months.
Saga also revealed some users on Polygon, Avalanche, Cosmos and Celestia will be eligible to claim tokens in the airdrop. Furthermore, Saga is launching a “Three Kingdoms” play-to-airdrop campaign across Solana, Polygon, and Avalanche games, including heavy hitters like Parallel, Shrapnel, and Gas Hero.
Nifty Island
Launching in open beta on January 17, Nifty Island is a new sandbox-style game that combines the feel of Animal Crossing, Roblox and Fortnite's creative mode, allowing players to customize their own island and play with other users. At the same time, the project offers a play-to-airdrop campaign with many different ways to earn ISLAND tokens.
According to a tweet thread, Nifty Island will award points to users based on factors such as how much they play, how many players they refer to the game, and what other NFT assets they own in the connected wallet. It's unclear when the token drop will happen, but people are flocking to get a piece of the upcoming ISLAND launch.
Nyan Heroes
Hero shooter Nyan Heroes built on Solana, in which cats control giant mech suits, will launch into early access in February and launch a play-to-airdrop campaign alongside It. There are no details so far, but the Overwatch-like shooter — listed on the Epic Games Store — will award NYN tokens to early players. NFT Nyan Heroes owners will be eligible for even larger token rewards.
Apeiron
Along with Pixels, this is another game running on Axie Infinity's Ronin chain that is running an airdrop campaign. Apeiron is billed as a flashy combination of classic god games (like Populous) and a “roguelite” card experience, delivering a solid experience that requires careful strategy.
In January, Apeiron revealed a play-to-airdrop campaign that would reward players with an Epic Games Store battle demo. Points will count toward future ANIMA token drops, along with incentives for completing other actions or owning certain NFTs.
Shuffle
Crypto casino Shuffle is planning three airdrops of SHFL tokens on Ethereum, in an effort to reward users from the first year of operation. The online platform, which supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins, plans to start dropping in the first week of March. Shuffle says 28% of the supply will go to the airdrop.
AI Arena
AI Arena, a game that combines Super Smash Bros-style matches with artificial intelligence, is launching a play-to-airdrop campaign of 40 million NRN tokens. Another 40 million tokens will be allocated to the game's NRN prize boxes. The game challenges players to train AI warriors capable of fighting automatically on their behalf. The developers say that the play-to-airdrop program is underway with the token launch expected in about three months.
WUFFI
Blockchain WAX has been promoting an upcoming airdrop for a “memecoin game” called WUFFI, although the WUF token will start on WAX and then expand to Solana at some point. WUF took a snapshot of eligible holders on January 31st ahead of the first airdrop, but no date has been confirmed for the drop. Many WAX games and applications have committed to supporting this upcoming token.
Notcoin
Notcoin is a game project that runs on the Telegram messaging application and claims to have attracted millions of users who are frantically pressing buttons to "mint" Notcoin together. The problem is that Notcoin is not a real cryptocurrency yet. Notcoin is being vague about things, so many people wouldn't be surprised if it drops without much notice one day.
