Each month, the Bankless Analyst Team sends a list of crypto’s hottest airdrop opportunities directly to subscriber inboxes. We have accumulated over 100 such promising opportunities in the Airdrop Hunter, a comprehensive repository of airdrop hunting knowledge shared exclusively with Bankless Citizens!

Today, we’re sharing 5 must-hunt airdrops for the month of December (and giving the first recommendation away for free) 👇

💵 WalletConnect

Sector: Infrastructure
TVL: N/A
Chain: N/A
Website | Twitter

About:

WalletConnect is an open-source wallet connection toolkit that allows app developers to seamlessly and securely facilitate connections with their protocols.

Crypto users that scan WalletConnect QR codes when connecting to an application can sign transactions directly from their mobile devices. End-to-end encryption ensures the security of transferred data and private keys throughout the interaction, and app connections are automatically disconnected after as a result of inactivity.

In September, WalletConnect unveiled WTC as the native token of its WalletConnect Network, the progressively decentralized backbone of its UX ecosystem. These tokens can be staked for WTC rewards, and holders have the ability to introduce governance and fee mechanisms at a later date.

While claims for Round 1 of WalletConnect’s airdrop closed on October 18, Bankless Citizens can still qualify to share in a 50k WTC allocation by associating a mobile wallet with their Bankless account via WalletConnect before December 6, 2024!

Why We’re Watching:

Bankless Citizens who associate a wallet address with their account via WalletConnect prior to December 6, 2024, and enter the special code “ONCHAINUX” may earn a share of 50K WCT (WalletConnect) tokens. The WalletConnect Foundation will airdrop the tokens to Quest participants who qualify before January 30, 2025.

Simply complete all of the steps linked in the quest below to position for this drop!

🤑 Suilend

Sector: Lending, Liquid Staking
TVL: $364M
Chain: Sui
Website | Twitter

About:

Suilend is the largest application on the Sui blockchain. It was developed by the same team behind Solend, a leading lending protocol on Solana. By launching on Sui, Suilend seeks to leverage its successful track record from Solana to establish itself as a prominent cross-chain money market for the developing chain.

Recently, Suilend launched a liquid staking protocol (SpringSui) in collaboration with Aftermath Finance and Studio Mirai. SpringSui advertises itself as an open source LST standard that offers infinite liquidity and reduced depeg risks through instant unstaking, a feature made possible by the implementation of Suilend-authored SIP-33, which provides for same-epoch creations and redemptions on “inactive StakedSui objects.”

Why We’re Watching:

Suilend recently announced that SEND – the token for Suilend, SpringSui, and their upcoming Steamm AMM – will be released on December 12, 2024. As of the publication of this article, snapshots were not yet taken for a variety of qualifying activities.

⚔️ Legion

Sector: Investing
TVL: N/A
Chain: N/A
Website | Twitter

About:

Legion is a social investing platform that is seeking to build a dedicated community of investors through compliant investment opportunities of both the pre-Token Generation Event (TGE) and token launches variety.

The platform promises its users early access to pre-token projects. Investors are organized by a “Legion Score” informed by their social clout, onchain activity, and developer profile, enabling projects to screen out investors by merit instead of check size.

Why We’re Watching:

While Legion has not announced any points programs, should this platform seek to launch a token, it is likely that early users will be allocated with an airdrop or given preferential terms to invest. Additionally, Legion has announced that it will distribute 5 Infinex Patron NFTs to users who sign up for the platform and share their "Legion Score" via socials before December 4, 2024.

Complete the quests below to sign up for Legion and position for an Infinex Patron NFT!

1. [quest 771 "Sign Up for Legion"]
2. [quest 772 "Refer Others to Legion"]
3. [quest 773 "Share Legion Score"]

🪙 Rumpel

Sector: Points
TVL: $42.5M
Chain: Ethereum
Website | Twitter

About:

Rumpel is a point tokenization protocol that enables secondary market liquidity and price discovery for offchain loyalty points, unlocking new opportunities for point holders, traders, airdrop hunters, and point issuers.

Built on the Ethereum network, this protocol enables holders of rewards-bearing assets to deposit their tokens into a segregated “Rumpel Wallet,” a one-of-one multisig that accrues points exposure, which can be minted into fungible assets that can be used to provide liquidity or can be directly monetized.

Why We’re Watching:

Rumpel has a points program that rewards asset depositors and users who provide liquidity for its points with “Straw.: Although no specifics are provided about the program, these points can be expected to convert into a liquid token at a future date.

Engage with the quests below to begin earning Rumpel Straw!

1. [quest 723 "Create Rumpel Account"]
2. [quest 769 "Refer Others to Rumpel"]
3. [quest 765 "Deposit Assets to Rumpel"]
4. [quest 767 "Mint Points with Rumpel"]
5. [quest 768 "Provide Liquidity on Rumpel Points"]
6. [quest 766 "Trade Rumpel Points"]

👀 Wow

Sector: Memecoins
TVL: N/A
Chain: Base
Website | Twitter

About:

Reminiscent of the popular Solana platform pump.fun, Wow is a Base-native memecoin launcher developed by Zora, a dominant force in empowering creators to make their own NFTs. Wow utilizes Zora’s ERC-20z standard, a custom protocol that allows for the seamless exchange between fungible tokens and non-fungible NFTs, Wow enables for any Base meme to be turned into a memecoin.

Similar to pump.fun, Wow memecoins are sold on a bonding curve; once 8 ETH is spent to buy 8M tokens, a market capitalization of ~$120k is achieved and the token is automatically deployed to Uniswap, where it can be freely sold in the open market. All tokens issued through Wow are subject to a 1% fee, 50% of which goes directly to the deployer.

Why We’re Watching:

Although neither Wow nor its parent (Zora) have provided any official indication that this platform will have a token, it is possible Wow eventually implements a points program or directly rewards its users with a token airdrop to increase engagement.

Try to profit with memecoins and position for a potential Wow airdrop by performing the quests below!

1. [quest 757 "Create Tokens with Wow"]
2. [quest 754 "Purchase Tokens on Wow"]
3. [quest 755 "Trade Tokens on Wow"]
