The Biggest Airdrops of 2024 That Made New Millionaires

The end of the year is a perfect time to reflect on the crypto market. With 2024 being a rollercoaster of a bull market, it’s clear that airdrops played a massive role in creating new millionaires. If you managed to claim some big ones this year, congratulations! If not, don’t worry—this blog is your roadmap for success in the next wave of airdrops.

Let’s dive into the biggest airdrops of 2024, the trends that shaped the year, and the airdrops that made the biggest splash.

2024: A Year to Remember

This year was nothing short of incredible for airdrop farmers. Meme coins dominated the scene, driving hype and massive price surges. Decentralized finance (DeFi) farming evolved, with staking and restaking gaining popularity thanks to platforms like EigenLayer.

Layer-2 networks continued to thrive, and new projects on Base and Solana gained significant traction. DePin (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) introduced unique earning opportunities, while the tap-to-earn trend allowed users to earn by playing games without any upfront investment.

Additionally, at AirdropAlert.com we revamped our platform, providing better tools and resources for airdrop farmers. From new search features to a smoother user experience, with 15 languages added, the platform remained the go-to for discovering lucrative opportunities. We’re ready for the future of airdrop farming, are you?

Be Early, Stay Brave

If there’s one golden rule for airdrop farming, it’s this: the early birds get the biggest rewards. Early adopters in 2024 reaped massive benefits by exploring new fields before they became crowded. So, be brave. When you spot an emerging trend, dive in with conviction. Trying new platforms early can yield life-changing returns.

Airdrops That Made Millionaires in 2024

Here’s a rundown of the biggest airdrops this year. These projects turned everyday farmers into millionaires:

1] Hyperliquid Season 1

Early adopters of Hyperliquid were rewarded handsomely. The project’s liquidity solutions attracted high volumes and big payouts. They distributed billions of value with their HYPE token, and it is by far the biggest airdrop in history. Surprisingly, the token has only been live for a month now, so it will be interesting to see where they end. So far the token seems to have “up only” programmed into the price action.

There is a second season, make sure to check that out if you are serious about earning crypto in 2025.

2] Blast Mainnet

Blast’s airdrop capitalized on the success of Blur and the demand for Layer 2’s on Ethereum, innovatively combining gaming and earning. All the projects building on Blast were contributing to the final Blast airdrop. The second season is less popular, but it’s still farmable if you spend some ETH and time on it.

3] EigenLayer

This platform started the restaking trend, inspiring projects like EtherFi, Mode Network, Zircuit, and Swell. Restaking has become a cornerstone of DeFi farming strategies. It was a long farm, with your ETH locked up. But the yield and airdrop made up for it. It’s an easy farm if you have capital you can lock up for a period of time. The second season is live, so get to restaking while it’s still profitable.

4] Wormhole

Wormhole’s interoperability solutions drew significant interest, with its airdrop rewarding those who believed in cross-chain potential. It was a retroactive airdrop for people who used this early and was a nice suprise during NFT events in New York.

5] Friend.tech

The Friend.tech airdrop sparked the social finance (SocialFi) trend. While the project faced challenges and eventually shut down, many farmers walked away with six- or seven-figure rewards.

This goes to show, that not every project that has adoptions and funding will survive, even in a bull market.

6] Jupiter Exchange

Known for optimizing swaps, Jupiter Exchange’s airdrop rewarded users who engaged early with its services. It’s a DEX for Solana based coins, so early Solana meme coin traders made a good bag. If you’re in the meme coin trenches, I suggest to look at using Jupiter for a few trades, as their second airdrop will be in January 2025.

7] Grass

Grass was a pioneer in the DePin sector. Its airdrop introduced farmers to the potential of decentralized physical infrastructure. Just by running an extension on your device, you would earn points daily which translated in a good sized airdrop. The second season is alive and kicking, and we are earning Grass points while we’re typing this blog.

8] Notcoin and Hamster Kombat

These projects sparked the tap-to-earn hype. Players in emerging markets earned rewards by playing Telegram-based mini-games. This trend proved to be a game-changer for airdrop farming without upfront capital.

They ended up attracting hundreds of millions of users, often new people to crypto. So we can only conclude this is a big win for crypto adoption.

9] Pudgy Penguins Claim

Pudgy Penguins brought back the meta of rewarding NFT holders, proving that NFTs still have value in the airdrop space. With the $PUDGY market cap sitting at $3 billion just a week after the launch, we can conclude that NFT tokens are back!

The next one up is Doodles, make sure to keep an eye on that.
