Don’t Miss These 3 Crypto Airdrops Dropping in July’s First Week

Crypto's favorite free lunch is back—here's your fork.

1. The Layer-2 Loyalty Drop

A scaling solution rewards its earliest testnet users, proving once again that blockchain's best marketing is literally giving money away.

2. The DeFi Dust-Up

A yield protocol showers governance tokens on liquidity providers—because nothing says 'decentralization' like concentrated token dumps.

3. The Memecoin Mania Giveaway

Somehow, a dog-themed token with a 30% dev wallet allocation still has funds left for airdrops. Crypto never disappoints.

Set those wallets to 'greed mode'—these drops won't claim themselves. Just remember: in crypto, 'free' always comes with a side of volatility.

Zama

Blockchain service Zama is one of the top crypto airdrops this week, having opened on June 25. It is available for select airdrop farmers, and the pioneering open-source cryptography firm focuses on delivering novel Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technologies tailored for blockchain and AI applications.

The Zama project boasts up to $130 million in funds raised from backers such as Pantera Capital, Multicoin Capital, Protocol Labs, Blockchange, Metaplanet, and Solana’s Anatoly Yakovenko, who is coming in as one of the angel investors.

It follows a Series B funding round, which sent Zama past the $1 billion valuation. The public testnet will go live on Tuesday, July 1, as it is open exclusively.

MEXC

Another crypto airdrop to watch this week is from global centralized cryptocurrency exchange MEXC. MEXC launched an exclusive airdrop campaign specifically for Airdrops.io users.

The campaign runs from June 17 to July 17, 2025, with the collaboration offering benefits beyond the typical promotional campaigns.

“Users who register through our exclusive LINK will automatically join this airdrop program,” Airdrops.io indicated.

The program features two events that reward user registration and active trading participation. 

In the first event, farmers get a $20 USDT bonus for completing the basic deposit and trading requirements. Meanwhile, the second event offers bonuses ranging from $5 to $300 USDT based on future trading volume achievements.

“Combined with a permanent 20% rebate on all spot and futures trading fees, participants can earn up to $320 USDT in immediate bonuses plus ongoing savings on all future trading activities,” Airdrops.io added.

It comes amid MEXC’s resolve, rewarding the Airdrops.io community with superior benefits compared to standard promotional offerings.

The 20% fee rebate’s permanent nature ensures that users continue to benefit from reduced trading costs long after the initial bonus period concludes.

Based on these details, the MEXC airdrop may be uniquely rewarding for airdrop farmers and long-term platform users.

Sahara AI

Also on the watchlist this week is the Sahara AI crypto airdrop, a decentralized AI network that enables free and secure autonomous AI deployment with a high-performance, privacy-first network.

Sahara AI had raised $51.5 million in funding from investors like Binance Labs (now YZi Labs), Pantera Capital, and Polychain Capital.

After closing its testnet and with rewards available for claims, the project distributes 5% of the total SAHARA token supply. Additionally, there are exclusive cash rewards to early community contributors and ecosystem participants.

Introducing $SAHARA — the native utility token of Sahara AI.

Designed for real-world function, $SAHARA powers a new economic model for AI. One that is collaborative, open, and built to reward real contributors.
