After ZKsync, a look at this year's 10 potential airdrops
Original Title: 《After zkSync, I changed my strategy.》
Written by: zucl1ck, Crypto KOL

After the zkSync airdrop event, first-tier project airdrops seem to have lost their significance. This is a new era. Second-tier project airdrops have low costs, are quick, and have strong scalability. Crypto KOL zucl1ck has compiled the airdrop data received by individuals. The data proves that the most profitable airdrops come from second and third-tier projects, and there was no need to invest large sums in these projects. Below are potential airdrop projects worth paying attention to this year.
