1. Zerolend ($ZERO) airdrop

Zerolend, a dominant lending market on L2s—Linea, zkSync, Manta, Blast, and X Layer, is listing the $ZERO tokens on 8 exchanges, including Bybit, OKX, MEXC, OKX, Gate.io, Bitget, Poloniex and HTX. Their TVL metrics have been remarkable, attracting significant investment from major players in the industry. It’s a testament to ZeroLend’s success and growth. Zerolend will be distributing 18% airdrop to the community, which is one of the largest airdrop compare with other projects.

Users who collected earlyZERO by supplying/borrowing tokens to the platform and users who joined the ZERO Gravity airdrop campaign and collected points are eligible for the airdrop. Once $ZERO TGE is live on Linea on May 6, 2024, Zero Gravity Points and $earlyZERO will be automatically converted into $ZERO tokens and be available to claim and stake your $ZERO at https://app.zerolend.xyz/rewards/. [earlyZERO will be 1:1 convertible with $ZERO.]

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Visit the ZeroLend airdrop claim page.
2. Connect your Linea wallet, make sure you have enough ETH in your wallet.
3. Click on “Claim” and confirm the transaction in your wallet to claim your tokens.
4. $ZERO airdrop vesting schedule: 40% unlock, 60% will have a 6-month vesting schedule (3 months cliff and 3 months linear vesting).
5. All eligible users must claim their tokens within 30 days of the TGE on 6th May, 2024, or the tokens will be returned to the treasury.

2. Mode Network ($MODE) airdrop

Mode Network airdrop season 1 has ended and airdrop season 2 will start on 5th May, 2024 at approximately 2pm UTC. 5.5% of $MODE supply will be claimable on 7th May, 2024 at 11am UTC. You need to have a minimum of 250 points to qualify. The top 2,000 wallets by points will receive 50% MODE at launch and 50% MODE after 90 days.

Regarding Season 2, it constitutes 5% of the total supply, with up to 1 million in Optimism token incentives. Mode and Optimism are ecosystem partners, and if you’ve participated in Season 2, you can farm points, visible on the Airdrop page. Interacting with Mode DApps earns points, and more applications like VelodromeFi and Ethena USDes are expected to be introduced, offering further opportunities to earn rewards. While you won’t receive the full million, you’ll have a chance to share from the prize pool of up to 1 million Optimism tokens. Season 2 already began and will conclude on September 6th.

Step-by-step guide:

1. Navigate to the MODE Network airdrop claim page.
2. Ensure that you have a compatible wallet connected to the MODE Network.
3. Once your wallet is connected, check your eligibility for the airdrop by accessing their spreadsheet.
4. Make sure you have at least 250 points to qualify for the airdrop.
5. Users will have 30 days to claim tokens from Airdrop 1 and unclaimed tokens will be allocated to future rewards for users and developers on Mode.
6. Users who participated in Airdrop 1 and continue to participate in Airdrop 2 will receive a significant multiplier.

3. Kim Exchange ($KIM) airdrop

Kim Exchange is one of the native DApps on Mode, and they are also having a TGE on 6th May, 2024, which coincides with ZeroLend. The Kim token and the xKIM token will be released in the same day. Both tokens will be awarded if you have points on Kim Exchange.

Regarding the ratio of the airdrop and why there are two tokens, the KIM token serves as their Governor’s token, while the xKIM token functions as a yield booster plugin. By staking xKIM, you can earn kpNFTs. The ratio of KIM to xKIM is 7:3, with the majority allocated to the governance token.

Step-by-step guide:

1. The airdrop goes live at 1PM UTC on 6th May, 2024. Make sure you’re ready to claim your tokens as soon as the event begins.
2. Once live, head to the claim site: https://app.kim.exchange/airdrop to participate in the airdrop.
3. As a points holder, you’ll have the chance to claim $KIM and $xKIM tokens at a ratio of 7:3. Simply visit the claim site and follow the instructions to receive your tokens.
4. Users with LP in Kim will be eligible for the full airdrop amount. Those without LP may receive a reduced allocation.
5. Any forfeited, unclaimed, or ineligible tokens will be reallocated to reward loyal users. Stay tuned for more details about Kim Protocol’s loyalty program.
6. Your Kim points will be converted to $KIM and $xKIM tokens, adding value to your portfolio.
7. Instead of jeeting away your airdrop, consider putting your $xKIM to work within the Kim Protocol ecosystem. By staking both $KIM and $xKIM, you can earn even more rewards, including kpNFTs.
8. Stake your $xKIM with a yield booster plugin to receive a 2x boost on your LP positions. Or stake your $xKIM and kpNFTs to earn a 4x yield on your LPs. Keep an eye out for future plugins to further expand the utility of your tokens.
