Uniswap introduced the world to the unique concept of initiating tokens and retroactive airdrops to users who had previously interacted with the protocol, either through trading or providing liquidity. This is literally free money and has been a huge success and subsequently contributed to the user retention/popularity/usage of the world’s most famous decentralized exchange (DEX). The retroactive airdrop gained traction, and several protocols specifically focused on DeFi quickly followed. What other protocols have not been airdropped (yet)?
5. Paraswap
ParaSwap is a liquidity aggregator that is compatible with Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and of course Polygon MATIC. It sources liquidity from a variety of sources, allowing users to pay minimal fees and exchange assets at the best rates. This is the equivalent of 1inch.exchange, but since they haven’t issued any tokens yet and may retroactively airdrop governance tokens in the future, we highly recommend you try using this protocol.
4.dYdX
dYdX is also an Ethereum-based trading platform that focuses on decentralized spot trading, margin trading, and perpetual trading. It aims to provide features that were previously only available on centralized exchanges. This unique feature allows users to make long and short bets on various crypto assets in a trustless manner, allowing them to speculate on future prices and attempt to secure amounts disproportionate to their holdings, but at the cost of taking more risk and facing liquidation penalties if proven wrong.
Perpetual trading is available on Ethereum L2 powered by Starkware solutions. However, spots, margins, and perpetuals also exist in the base layer of Ethereum. So far, dYdX has not airdropped any tokens yet, but it is likely and we recommend doing some trading with this protocol.
3.Open Sea
OpenSea is world famous $NFT Extensive trading platform $NFT Collections and feature sets. It is the largest of its kind in the world. I don’t currently have a token for the project. However, there is high speculation that users of the platform could receive an airdrop in the future if the team chooses to push for true decentralization of public ownership and governance.
2.Open
Opyn is a DeFi protocol focused on on-chain options trading. This allows options trading on non-custodial ERC-20 tokens, which are typically operated by centralized exchanges. These options are derivative instruments that give traders the opportunity (but not the obligation) to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a set date.
Options are used for position hedging, speculation, yield and leverage. Opyn doesn’t have any tokens yet, but users may receive airdrops in the future, so stay tuned.
1. Metamask
MetaMask is a Web3 mobile app and browser extension that allows users to connect their wallets to decentralized web or applications that primarily run on Ethereum. However, we have since expanded our support for multiple smart contract networks. It has two functions, the first is a bridge to decentralized apps and the second is a crypto wallet.
This extension can connect to hardware wallets like Ledger, giving users the most secure and functional crypto setup possible to access Web3. MetaMask also has no tokens and there may be airdrops, but this is not known for sure.
