Public Chain & L2

1. Arbitrum (Twitter @arbitrum）

![One of the L2 chains that have not issued tokens yet, and currently the chain with the highest TVL in L2. In the 2022 Odyssey event, Arbitrum showed its appeal to users, but at the same time, the event was suspended due to poor experience and has not yet resumed. We expect that the Odyssey event will restart at an appropriate time in 2023, and it may also become an important condition for future token distribution.

2. zkSync（Twitter @zksync）

One of the mainstream L2 solutions currently on the market may have a coin issuance plan in the upcoming 2023. In addition to cross-chain swap from ETH, you can also try Gitcoin donations, mint NFTs and send them to the mainnet, answer questions on crew3, etc.

zkSync is advancing its version 2.0 in an orderly manner, and we believe that the behavior of users on the mainnet may also be considered in the airdrop criteria

3. Starknet（Twitter @StarkWareLtd）

In addition to zkSync, another L2 that has attracted much attention, the current main network ecology is less, there are still some problems in cross-chain testing, and the interactive experience is not good.

However, as L2, the valuation is very high, and the official has made an explanation for the airdrop. Users can currently transfer funds from the ETH chain to Starknet through Starkgate, and then interact with several DEXs

4. Aztec (Twitter @aztecnetwork）

A16z leads $100 million in private L2 Aztec. Zk. Money is the first application of Aztec Network, users can deposit ETH or DAI into the protocol, and send and buy money in the privacy layer.

5. Celestia ( Twitter @CelestiaOrg)

Celestia belongs to the Cosmos ecology, but it can actually be used as the data layer of all public chain ecology. Currently, the Ethereum mainnet is also developing in this way.

The developer test network has been opened. Those who want to participate can try to deploy light nodes or dapp development. Ordinary users can be more active in discord and participate in community calls.

6. Scroll (Twitter @Scroll_ZKP)

Scroll is an Ethereum expansion project based on ZK rollup, dedicated to the development of zkEVM, so as to make it easier for projects on Ethereum to migrate to the Scroll chain.

The project financing is 30 million US dollars, and the zkEVM test network has been opened. Users who want to participate can use the bridge and swap functions on the test network.

7. Fuel (Twitter @fuellabs_)

Fuel is building the fastest execution layer among modular blockchains while guaranteeing security and decentralization. The three most important features:

parallel transactions FuelVM (Compared with traditional virtual machines, FuelVM can save more resources and is more flexible and open for developers) Sway language and Force development tools enable developers to have a better experience

The financing is 80 million US dollars, and the test network is currently open. Users who want to participate can experience swap, add liquidity, and transfer money with wallets.

8. Namada (Twitter @namadanetwork)

Namada is the privacy public chain of the Cosmos ecosystem, using zk-SNARKs privacy encryption technology. The financing is 30 million US dollars, led by Polychain Capital, and the public test network has been opened on December 20. Participation methods include running full nodes, validating nodes, or private transfers.

9. Shardeum（推特 @shardeum）

Shardeum is an EVM-compatible public chain that achieves high throughput through dynamic sharding technology. Simply put, the more nodes, the higher the TPS.

$18.2 million in seed funding, with participation from Foresight Ventures. At present, the testnet has been made public, and users can participate through the interactive testnet project (note that Liberty 1.x is selected when leading the water)

10. AltLayer (Twitter @alt_layer)

AltLayer is a brand-new concept that was only publicized in the second half of this year. AltLayer’s NFT was also introduced in the weekly report of the last week of July. Therefore, the project is at an early stage and there are more opportunities.

AltLayer aims to solve the problem of the carrying capacity of a single blockchain after the large-scale application of Web3. It is designed as a modular and pluggable flash memory layer. When the system traffic is large, it can expand the performance and automatically exit when the traffic is small. , to achieve an automatic balance between energy saving and performance, and perfectly adapt to the bull-bear conversion.

**DeFi **

1.Opyn (Twitter @opyn_)

Opyn is a decentralized options protocol, and the on-chain derivatives track is still in its early stages. Opyn launched the Crab Strategy crab strategy and Zen bull bull market strategy in 2022, and further supported the investment of tokens such as ETH and USDC.

Users can deposit ETH or USDC into the protocol for interaction, but be aware that the principal may be lost due to factors such as different strategies and market conditions.

2.Slingshot (Twitter @SlingshotCrypto) Odos (Twitter @odosprotocol) Matcha (Twitter @matchaxyz)

Aggregators are an integral part of the DeFi track, and the airdrop of ParaSwap in 2021 will also surprise users. Users can develop the habit of using these aggregators in normal times, which can not only reduce interaction costs, but also harvest future airdrop expectations.

Among them, Slingshot launched an APP and airdropped some NFTs, Odos launched a series of OAT tasks for Galxe, and Matcha hinted at airdrops on Twitter from time to time.

3. LayerZero (Twitter @LayerZero_Labs)

LayerZero is the first trustless full-chain interoperability protocol. The mechanism is relatively innovative and has high security. It has received US$135 million in financing from well-known institutions.

The project has a certain expectation of issuing tokens. It is said that users have found the token name in the official code, and the interaction method is to participate in projects in its ecology, such as Stargate, gh0stlygh0sts, Rage Trade, etc. (Note: The leading investors of LayerZero include FTX Ventures, this is a risk that everyone needs to understand)

4.Rage Trade（Twitter @rage_trade）

Rage Trade is a full-chain perpetual futures agreement built on the Arbitrum network. It uses the innovative Uni v3 vault strategy to recycle underutilized LPs to create deep liquidity. It is committed to becoming the most liquid and composable exchange in the market. Good perpetual agreement.

dydx on the same track had a good airdrop before, and Rage Trade is also worthy of attention and interaction. Interacting with Rage Trade also interacted with Arbitrum and LayerZero.

5.Yield (Twitter @yield)

Yield Protocol is an over-collateralized lending agreement. Its characteristic is that the user's loan interest rate is fixed within a certain period of time (the period is generally 3 months). The agreement is led by Paradigm to invest 10 million US dollars, and it has been deployed to the Ethereum main network. With Arbitrum, users who want to interact can provide liquidity and lend on both the mainnet and Arbitrum.

6.Perennial (Twitter @perenniallabs)

Perennial is a derivatives market. The Peer-to-Pool AMM model simply means that Maker provides liquidity to obtain interest income, and Taker borrows liquidity to perform leveraged operations. Makers can also perform leveraged operations on Perennial.

As a derivatives portal, it can provide hedging of corresponding assets for users and agreements in need. The seed round of financing is 12 million US dollars, led by Polychain Capital. At present, the protocol has been deployed to the main network, and it supports up to five times as long and short as Ethereum. Users who want to participate can try it.

7. Mero (Twitter @merofinance) Brahma (Twitter @BrahmaFi) Pods (Twitter @PodsFinance)

We have selected three DeFi protocols with good investment institutions, aggressive developers, and novel solutions to recommend to everyone for interaction.

Mero solves the problem that there is no time to add margin when loan assets are liquidated, and the funds can obtain mining income when the funds are not covered, which further releases the liquidity of funds. Mero received $356w in financing led by Advanced Blockchain AG, whose developers have a deep relationship with Curve. At present, the project is in the second phase. Users can start interacting by connecting the mortgage on Aave to Mero, and can also make contributions in discord.

Brahma innovatively proposed karma points to guide users into machine gun pools of different risks (similar to degen score), and they received USD 4.2 million invested by Framework Ventures, etc., which preserved the user's security during the UST unanchoring in May this year. Assets, technology and sense of responsibility are relatively good. Users can choose smart pools according to their own scores, and improve their scores through deposits and social media activity.

Pods creates an option vault for ETH's mortgage assets, superimposing the benefits of stETH to provide users with more returns. Pods has USD 5.6 million in financing from IOSG, Tomahawk, Republic, Framework Ventures, 4RC, etc. We judge that as ETH2.0 brings more mortgage assets, this option vault will provide users with more choices. We recommend that users purchase stETH with low slippage to interact with Pods, which is very suitable for ETH-based players.

NFT

1.Blur (Twitter @blur_io)

The NFT aggregation protocol invested by Paradigm issued airdrops to eligible users in the form of treasure boxes, and the treasure boxes are expected to be opened in the first quarter of 2023. It is clear that the token is $Blur, and users can still participate in the third round of airdrops through Bid.

2.Zora (Twitter @ourZORA

The NFT creation platform, led by Haun Ventures founded by former A16z investor Katie Haun, has invested US$50 million. Currently, users can buy genesis balls or create their own NFTs on Zora.

3.Tessera（Twitter @tessera）

The former name is Fractional, which is an agreement to provide liquidity solutions for NFT. The specific method is to fragment NFT and establish a corresponding AMM pool to provide liquidity for fragmented tokens, thereby increasing the flow of NFT sex.

Two rounds of financing of $28 million, led by Paradigm. The way to participate can be to buy fragmented tokens or sell the fragmented tokens you own.

4.PartyDAO (Twitter @prtyDAO)

PartyDAO is a platform for crowdfunding to purchase NFTs. The highlight is the $16.4 million led by A16Z, with a valuation of $200 million. It is the community-driven DAO with the highest valuation. Users can create and participate in Bid on PartyDAO’s website partybid.app.

**Web3 wallet **

1.Argent (Twitter @argentHQ)

Argent is a contract wallet, which is different from the form of mnemonic generation. This wallet achieves higher security by deploying contracts, and also avoids the trouble of losing or forgetting mnemonic words.

As an important entrance of Web3, the wallet has huge traffic. At the same time, users can directly swap and participate in DeFi and purchase NFT in the wallet. Therefore, the wallet can obtain considerable handling fees, and the valuation of the wallet in the market is very high. Argent has completed two rounds of financing, including $40 million in Series B financing.

Fabric Ventures and Metaplanet led the round, with participation from existing investors Paradigm, Index Ventures and Creandum, and strategic investors Starkware, Jump Trading and Animoca Brands.

As a product that users directly contact, the wallet also has the requirement of decentralization, so the expectation of issuing coins is also very high. It is recommended to register, activate the second layer, and add protection functions such as guardians, and purchase wealth management or swap on the second layer.

2.MetaMask (Twitter @MetaMask)

As the most well-known wallet in the Web3 world, MetaMask is considered to have a potential airdrop. MetaMask currently provides swap and cross-chain of several major chains. Users can interact on chains with relatively low gas, and can also regularly participate in MetaMask meetings to obtain attendance certificates such as POAP.

Please pay attention to slippage and handling fees when interacting with MetaMask, this is an additional cost of interaction.

Web3 applications

1. Cyberconnect (Twitter @CyberConnectHQ) The much-watched Web3 social graph protocol, the current Link3 has become a tool for most project parties to hold activities. Users can collect CyberConnect-related NFTs, or mint Link3’s domain name to participate in CyberConnect’s year-end activities. 2. Lens (Twitter @LensProtocol) Lens Protocol is a blockchain-based open-source social graph that aims to reshape the concept of social media in the age of Web3 and decentralization. Launched in early 2022, Lens Protocol has received high attention from the market because it is the well-known lending protocol Aave that developed its social products. Users can obtain Lens through Lens partners or directly purchase it on NFT markets such as OpenSea, and then experience products in the ecosystem such as Lenster.

2. Golden Protocol (Twitter @Golden)

The simplest metaphor for decentralized knowledge protocols is the Wikipedia of Web3. Golden Protocol raised $54.5 million in two rounds of financing, both led by A16z. At present, you can pledge testnet points for data verification (Tripple Verification) or submit relevant information about entries by participating. The above is a partial list of airdrops selected by Biteye. At the same time, we have also developed an airdrop interactive system to help you do better interactive tasks. The core functions include: Select high-quality projects Help users manage interactive task progress Detailed tutorials for project introductions and interactive tasks Take Interaction Notes

We’ve discussed some possible reductions for 2023, but this is by no means an entire list, and none of the reductions discussed here can be promised to occur. But, there are consistent patterns in the kinds of things you can do to increase your chances of qualification, such as maintaining your presence in the community and participating in the project.

Furthermore, keep in mind that the information shown here is for illustrative reasons only and not as a substitute for professional financial guidance. Before engaging in any sort of interaction with a protocol or decentralized application, it is always wise to undertake one’s own study.
