Don’t Miss These 3 Hot Crypto Airdrops Before July Ends
Crypto's favorite free-money glitch is back—here's your weekly dose of speculative dopamine.
### The Alpha Drop: LayerZero's Final Countdown
Protocol's closing its airdrop window July 25th. Late degens still scrambling for last-minute eligibility.
### The Dark Horse: zkSync's Retroactive Play
Ethereum's scaling darling might finally reward early users. Just don't ask about that 'coming soon' tweet from 2023.
### The Long Shot: EigenLayer's Points Gambit
Restaking pioneers are farming engagement with another points program. Because what's crypto without imaginary metrics?
Remember kids: In bull markets, airdrops are 'community incentives.' In bear markets, they're desperate user acquisition costs—but hey, free tokens beat watching your portfolio bleed out.
Nexus
The Nexus chain is among the top crypto airdrops to watch. While it remains in the potential (not yet confirmed) status, the project has significant backing from notable investors.
Among them are Pantera Capital and DragonFly Capital, which co-led the tier-1 fundraiser. After a four-tier fundraiser, Nexus has accumulated $27.2 million and launched a community point incentive program.

The wait is over — the Nexus Community Point Incentive 1.0 is now live.
This is a new system designed to reward your contributions during Testnet III, from code to content to community building.
Here’s how it works: https://t.co/3fjHLC23lR
To participate, users can create various components of the project and earn points. The first point distribution will be on Tuesday, July 22. Ambassadors and users with roles in Dll receive additional points.
Notably, the Nexus airdrop is linked to Nexus Labs’ zkVM-powered LAYER 1 blockchain, rewarding early participants with NEX points. The points are convertible to tokens upon mainnet launch in Q3 2025.
To participate, users can join the Devnet phase and contribute computing power via a browser-based node or dedicated hardware for higher points. Additional rewards come from social tasks, creating content, or earning Discord roles.
Common
Another crypto airdrop to watch is Common, a social network boasting up to $20 million in funds raised. Notable backers or investors include DragonFly Capital, which led the first-tier fundraiser. Other participants include Coinbase Ventures and Polychain Capital.
During the second tier, venture firm ParaFi Capital led the fundraiser, alongside participants such as Hashed Fund and CMS Holdings.
Common launched Aura points in April, with the social function still open. This allows participants to perform tasks and qualify for a potential airdrop from the project. While some functions end on a given day, the project adds new ones periodically.
