The airdrop season is not over yet. Several crypto projects have already announced plans to reward users with free tokens over the coming months. In this article, we will take a look at the upcoming token airdrops in the gaming industry, but before that, let’s define the term airdrop.
Simply put, airdrop in crypto refers to the free distribution of digital tokens to users or contributors of a particular project. Over the past few months, numerous protocols have conducted airdrops worth millions. That said, here are the expected gaming token airdrops in 2024:
Xai
The Xai blockchain, which is built atop Arbitrum, has announced a second round of its XAI token airdrop after successfully rewarding early users with tokens worth over $75 million in the first round. Xai, a gaming-focused protocol, was created in partnership with Offchain Labs, the firm behind Arbitrum. The project has yet to reveal the exact date for the XAI airdrop.
Pixels
One of the most talked about games right now is Pixels. The Ronin-based crypto game is looking to give users tokens through a play-to-airdrop model. What this means is that a player must participate in the Pixels game to boost their chances of earning PIXEL tokens.
Pixels CEO Luke Barwikowski said earlier this week that the 7,000 players who would have accumulated the most points by January 31st would become eligible for the airdrop. Moreover, the first 20,000 players who played Pixels in its early days will receive tokens as well. Barwikowski says the PIXEL airdrop is “close.”
Portal
The buzz around Portal has been immense, especially on X, over the past two months. The gaming project is building a multi-chain token intended to bridge the gap between crypto games developed on different blockchains.
The token will be airdropped to crypto users promoting Portal on Elon Musk’s X. The developers behind the gaming project have said they may conduct the airdrop next week if everything goes as planned. It is worth mentioning Portal builders come from Rockstar Games and SuperDuper.
Saga Protocol
The Saga Protocol is a new chain built to facilitate the development of gaming projects. That explains why you must play games developed on this network to become eligible for its token airdrop. As of this writing, Saga-based games run on a testnet. They will be migrated to the Saga Mainnet when it launches later this year.
Besides the SAGA token, Saga Protocol CEO Rebecca Liao says players might receive other tokens created by developers of the Saga-based games. Further, some users on Celestia, Avalanche, Cosmos, and Polygon will qualify for the SAGA token airdrop.
Nifty Island
Nifty Island’s beta version was launched last week. Along with letting you play with others, the game allows you to buy and customize your Island. You need to participate more in the Nifty Island game to receive the ISLAND token. Moreover, you can increase your chances of earning the digital asset by inviting your friends to play. At press time, it is still unclear when the ISLAND token will be airdropped.
Nyan Heroes
If you are lucky enough, you can start playing Nyan Heroes next month after receiving an invitation. By becoming an early player, you automatically qualify for the NYN token airdrop. The tokens you will receive depend on the points you earn when playing. If you buy the Nyan Heroes NFTs, you’ll get more NYN token rewards.
Apeiron
Ronin Network has attracted several gaming developers in recent months. Apeiron is one of the games that have launched on the protocol. Earlier this month, the crypto game launched a play-to-airdrop program to reward users with the ANIMA token, which is set to launch soon. You must own specific NFTs or compete in the game to be eligible for the airdrop.
Mixmob
Following the successful launch of card-based racing game Race1, Mixmob has now announced its upcoming MXM token airdrop. The digital asset will be distributed to active players and those who invite others.
