Airdrops remain one of the most effective marketing and community-building tools in the crypto space. In September 2024, several high-potential projects are set to distribute free tokens to early adopters and active participants. From meme platforms and DeFi protocols to AI marketplaces and decentralized infrastructure, these airdrops cover a wide spectrum of innovation. Below are the top seven airdrops to watch this month.
1. Four.Meme
Four.Meme is a token launch platform on BNB Chain, similar to Pump.fun on Solana and SunPump.meme on TRON. It enables users to create meme tokens with ease and compete on a market cap leaderboard for visibility. The platform is currently running a points-based airdrop program, where eligible users can accumulate points that will later convert into token allocations.
2. Summer.fi
Originating from the MakerDAO ecosystem as the Oasis App, Summer.fi has evolved into an independent decentralized finance platform. It allows users to lend crypto to earn interest or borrow assets using collateral. The project recently introduced "Rays," a loyalty points system. Any wallet holding at least 0.2 ETH with five or more transactions on Ethereum mainnet, Optimism, Arbitrum, or Base automatically qualifies for 100 Rays points.
3. Tea
Tea is a decentralized protocol designed to reward open-source software developers. Using smart contracts and blockchain-based tokens, Tea automatically distributes rewards based on a "Proof of Contribution" algorithm that measures the impact of developers' work. Although the native token hasn't been launched yet, participants can earn points by interacting with the incentivized testnet — registering projects, staking tokens, and performing other tasks.
4. Bracket
Backed by Binance Labs, Bracket specializes in liquid staking and restaking (LST/LRT). It offers both active and passive strategies, enabling users to earn through margin lending, liquidity provision, and leveraged trading (up to 5x). The platform is powered by the brktETH token. Currently, users can accumulate BARS reward points by completing quests, which may later be converted into token airdrops.
5. Sahara AI
Sahara AI is a decentralized AI marketplace providing infrastructure for acquiring, storing, trading, and training AI agents. Contributors can upload AI assets and earn fees, while businesses access these assets for a fee. Since its inception in 2023, Sahara AI has raised over $40 million from top-tier investors including Polychain Capital, Binance Labs, Sequoia Capital, and Pantera Capital.
6. Manta Network
Manta Network is a zero-knowledge (ZK) based layer-2 blockchain that enables developers to build scalable dApps with low transaction fees. The project will launch its airdrop in September. It also introduced the second phase of its Ambassador Program, targeting content creators and influencers who can earn MANTA tokens by promoting the network on social media.
7. DAWN
DAWN is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePin) project that has secured $18 million in funding from Dragonfly, with contributions from ParaFi Capital and Wintermute. Its airdrop is straightforward: users simply download the DAWN browser extension, register via email, and earn additional rewards by completing community tasks and social engagements.
These seven projects represent a diverse range of opportunities for crypto enthusiasts. As always, participants should verify all details through official channels and stay vigilant against potential scams. Engaging in airdrops not only diversifies one's portfolio but also provides deeper insights into emerging blockchain trends.
