The Blast team announced that its token airdrop would commence on June 26 and that users who bridged assets to the network or used its apps would receive tokens.

Ethereum layer-2 Blast network will launch an airdrop for its early adopters on June 26, according to a June 25 social media post from the team.

Another 7% will go to those who “contributed to the success of DApps [decentralized applications]” on Blast and 3% will go to the Blur Foundation for future airdrops to its community.

One percent of the total supply will go to traders and holders in Season 3, 0.5% will be reserved for traders and holders in Season 4, and another 0.5% will be reserved for future use.

Arbitrum daily revenue surges 16,500% after LayerZero’s ZRO launch

LayerZero’s “not an airdrop” ZRO token airdrop has spurred a new peak for Arbitrum’s daily revenue.

LayerZero’s token launch on June 20 caused a massive surge in fees on Arbitrum, leading to a record $3.43 million daily revenue for the blockchain, a bump of around 16,680% compared to ththe day prior.

LayerZero launched the ZRO token on Thursday but triggered criticism over its obligatory “donation” mechanism — which requires claimants to spend a small amount of money per token to nab their allocation.

These mechanics pushed up the average gas fees on the blockchain, which hit 89 cents, up from its typical less-than-1-cent fee.

How to generate passive income with cryptocurrency airdrops

Hunting for crypto airdrop opportunities and cashing in on airdrop rewards can be a thrilling way to bag some extra coins, but beware, not every “drop” is gold.

Cryptocurrency airdrops are a marketing strategy crypto projects use to give away free coins or tokens to certain wallet addresses of active users. Airdrops allow users to expand their crypto portfolio without extra costs and earn money by holding these tokens, hoping their value will increase in the future.

Launching airdrops serves several objectives. Firstly, they help create buzz around a project or cryptocurrency. By giving away free tokens, companies can spread awareness and quickly grow their user bases. Airdrops can also boost liquidity as more users start trading the new tokens. Additionally, companies can reward loyal users and foster community building by encouraging participation and interaction with the project.

Individuals typically participate in certain activities, such as joining a project’s social media account, owning a particular cryptocurrency, or engaging with the project’s community. Airdrops are usually small in value — below $10 — and may lack liquidity. To make easy money, some users join an airdrop and sell off the coins immediately, potentially driving the price down.
