Overview

Gate Research has outlined the popular airdrops for the week of February 17 to February 21, 2025. These projects have significant airdrop potential over the next year and have received support from well-known investment institutions. This week, four projects—Hub.xyz, Nomisma, Ethereal, and Kittenswap offer users opportunities to engage with the Web3 ecosystem. Each project has unique advantages in fields such as AI agents, DeFAI platforms, derivative DEX, and DEX, respectively. This article will briefly introduce these popular projects, their airdrop opportunities, and participation methods. It aims to provide users with the latest airdrop updates and investment opportunities, helping them stay on top of market trends and capture potential profit opportunities.

Airdrops

Hub.xyz

Hub.xyz is an AI agent-driven platform. Users train AI agents by answering questions on the X platform, and help shape AI intelligence by providing high-quality responses. [1]

The Hub.xyz platform’s points system incentivizes user participation through IQ points. By accumulating points, users can receive airdrops of HUB tokens and airdrops from exclusive partners. Additionally, points can grant users access to the platform’s core user group, “Cult’s Inner Circle,” where they can gain more privileges and resources.

How to participate:

1. Visit the Hub.xyz Airdrop portal and log in.
2. Join the official Discord group to earn IQ points.
3. Interact with the Hub AI agents and provide intelligent answers to earn IQ points.
4. Refer friends to use Hub to earn additional points.

Nomisma**

Nomisma is an AI-powered DeFAI platform and a Layer 1 sidechain within the Chromia ecosystem. By leveraging the powerful capabilities of relational blockchain technology, Nomisma aims to address the limitations of traditional blockchains, such as high gas fees, front-running (MEV), and limited on-chain data processing capacity. [2]

The Nomisma testnet will launch in Q1 2025. Users can participate in the ecosystem’s development through social tasks, trading competitions, and pre-staking to earn token airdrop qualifications. The testnet phase is a critical time for capturing early tokens. Active users will receive official tokens when the mainnet launches in Q2 2025. The staking reward mechanism will also be activated, offering extra rewards for long-term holders. Participating in test tasks early helps accumulate airdrops and positions users to maximize token distribution opportunities during the mainnet launch.

How to participate:

1. Visit the official website and connect your wallet. [3]
2. Complete daily check-ins to earn 250 Npoints.
3. Complete designated social tasks.
4. Invite friends to participate in Nomisma to earn 500 Npoints per referral.

Ethereal

Ethereal is a decentralized spot and perpetual contract trading platform built on the Ethena network, using native USDe as collateral. Ethereal offers institutional-level performance (latency under 20 milliseconds, over 1 million orders per second) and directly settles on the Ethena network, ensuring consistent performance and settlement even during peak trading periods unaffected by network congestion or delays. [4]

Season Zero is a pre-deposit campaign launched by Ethereal. Users who participate in the campaign and hold eUSDe will earn Ethereal points. Users gain priority access to the testnet and future platform plans by accumulating points. Additionally, users will receive enhanced sats rewards. This campaign rewards early platform supporters and helps accumulate liquidity for the official platform launch.

How to participate:

1. Go to the official website of Ethereal Season Zero and connect your wallet.
2. Deposit USDe to receive eUSDe and earn points based on holding duration.
3. Invite friends to join the campaign to earn more points.

Kittenswap

KittenSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) known for its efficient, low-cost trading experience, with gas fees lower than Uniswap. The platform uses an innovative LIQUID token mechanism, where part of the token is burned with each transaction, helping increase its price. Additionally, KittenSwap offers lending services, allowing users to deposit ETH to earn rewards or use LIQUID as collateral to borrow ETH. The platform is community-governed, emphasizing transparency and decentralized governance.

KittenSwap has officially confirmed its airdrop plan and launched a points program. The program will distribute 20% of the total KITTEN token supply as a governance-supported token, KITTEN (veKITTEN). This governance token ensures long-term alignment between token holders and protocol development. [5]

How to participate:

1. Connect your EVM wallet to KittenSwap. [6]
2. Configure the HypeEVM network.
3. Perform a token swap.
4. Add some liquidity to the WHYPE/PAWS pool.
5. Invite friends to increase potential rewards.
