In 2024, crypto airdrops have surged, distributing approximately $4 billion worth of tokens. Major drops like Jupiter, Starknet, and Notcoin led the pack, each valued around $1 billion. Despite their popularity, airdrops face increasing challenges from “airdrop farmers” gaming the system. Projects like LayerZero and ZKsync are combating this by excluding suspicious wallets. With more drops expected, including from Zeta Markets and EigenLayer, accessibility remains a key concern in this evolving crypto landscape.
