Crypto Airdrops You Didn’t Know You Needed (But Probably Do)

by

Crypto airdrops: the digital equivalent of free samples at a dodgy market, but with actual potential (and fewer germs). 🤑

As April clocks out like a tired intern, let’s peek at some shiny crypto airdrops trying to make your wallet sing before May shows up with its usual chaos.

Parfin

Meet Parfin, the overachiever of this week’s airdrop club, flexing after snagging over $32 million in funding from bigwigs like Mastercard (yes, *that* Mastercard) and some other crypto name-droppers.

They made Rayls, a blockchain that’s basically trying to make traditional finance and DeFi hold hands and sing kumbaya. If you fancy a RAYLS token airdrop, it’s not quite raining tokens yet—think of it as a treasure hunt with a $0.05 gas fee for an NFT ticket. Join their Discord, jump through some hoops (maybe a dance?), and submit a form to get your “role” in the drama.

Token launch? Still a mystery. Meanwhile, they’re watching airdrop farmers like hawks on bounty platforms, so be ready to sprint when the starting pistol fires.

Nous Research

Next up: Nous Research, sounding like the brainy kid in class backed by a $70 million sticker price drop gifted by Paradigm and friends. Yep, they’re cooking up some AI magic with open-source brains and fancy language models—because what’s cooler than talking robots that don’t snitch on you?

“Nous Research is an AI company specializing in the development of open-source, human-centric language models and simulators,” said a very official-sounding crypto investigator. 🤖

Want in? There’s a Waitlist form waiting for you. It’s part VIP, part sci-fi experiment. Just remember, with Solana’s rollercoaster vibes, you might want to buckle up or just not put all your eggs in this AI basket.

Movement

Last, but hardly least, Movement’s throwing a beta party for the Parthenon ecosystem. It’s like an RPG but for grown-ups who want their crypto and XP too.

“Shape the future of the Move ecosystem by joining a guild, completing quests, and earning experience points (XP) to level up and rise in the ranks,” the Parthenon hype squad chirped.

With $41 million in their back pockets from the usual cool kids Polychain Capital et al., Movement quietly reminded us all it’s been generous with MOVE before but wants a do-over. Beta XP farming is live, but don’t get too comfy—your points might get wiped later. It’s the crypto version of “reset and try again,” except hopefully with better rewards.
