Executive Summary
This is the final Airdrop Intel episode of the year, focusing on current crypto airdrop opportunities. An important end-of-year recap video is coming soon (Dec 26th or 27th), which will dive into the 2025 Airdrop tier list, blue-chip NFTs, DePin, and crucially, how to exit the market at its peak, likely in Q2 or Q3 next year. This upcoming video is highlighted as potentially the most important one of the year.
The great thing about the current airdrop landscape is that you don't need a lot of money to participate and still make decent gains, thanks to many Telegram-based and testnet airdrops. A separate video in January will detail many of these testnet opportunities.
Here are the specific airdrops discussed:
Sentry nodes by XAI: This is a gaming-based blockchain, essentially a Layer 2 or Layer 3 built on Arbitrum. They've recently made their key system much more accessible. Previously, a node cost around $1,000, but now you can buy a "Sentry key" for about 0.015 Ethereum (roughly $100), and even get a 5% discount with a promo code. These keys can be staked to a delegator or pool within their system, earning you staking rewards that can be sold. Crucially, XAI has announced multiple airdrops for Sentry key holders, with six gaming projects already confirmed and more coming. Holding more keys increases your chances in what seems to be a lottery system for these drops. XAI nodes have performed well, and their new accessibility without needing to set up a VPS makes them a pretty good deal right now. This discount might be limited to December.
DropMoney: This is a liquidity-based protocol that has just started supporting TIA (Celestia's token). You can liquid stake TIA, ATOM, OSMOSIS, and NEUTRON here. The major benefit is that liquid staking TIA allows you to sell it if the price skyrockets, unlike traditional staking where it's locked. It's recommended to liquid stake TIA (either on DropMoney or Milk TIA) and ATOM, rather than doing normal staking with Cosmos chains, as there will be a specific period for unstaking these chains in the future.
Cytonic: This new blockchain utilizes multiple virtual machines, including Solana and Ethereum. It's a hybrid airdrop opportunity, combining deposit-based farming with quest completion. You can earn "energies" by linking social media accounts (X, Telegram, Discord) and completing achievements. These energies can then be entered into a lottery or used to open chests that may contain NFTs or other rewards. Even a small deposit of $20-30 can kickstart your energy boost, as you get 0.05 energy per dollar deposited. This project is currently considered very under-farmed.
Yellow: Similar to Cytonic, Yellow offers deposit options and quests within its platform. It appears to be a Layer 2 project. It's currently in Season 2, which started November 14th and ends January 14th, with a Season 3 likely to follow. You can deposit from various platforms and participate in quests like daily check-ins. Competition is low, so even with few points, you can rank high. It's a good project to farm, and you don't necessarily need to deposit money.
NodePay: This is a "grass-based protocol," similar to Grass, and offers a low-effort airdrop. While NodePay announced an airdrop for Season 1, many people have reported issues with it, raising concerns about a potential "rug." Season 2 started on November 25th and is expected to run for at least two months. You can do daily claims, and it's advisable to run it on a burner browser. While these low-effort airdrops are popular, there's a risk of oversaturation, and not all of them will be as profitable as Grass was.
Fusionist: This is a GameFi airdrop. Participation is straightforward: sign up with your email, verify it, and you can even bot referrals if you wish. Nearly a million people have already registered. While GameFi airdrops haven't been huge yet, it's worth participating so you don't miss out if a big game emerges.
Abstract: This is touted as the new big NFT chain and has partnered with Pudgy Penguins, who are likely to receive an Abstract Airdrop. It's expected to launch in January or potentially February. Participation involves simple tasks like a low-cost mint quest on Base (around $2), liking tweets, and using a referral program. There might be a follow-up program after the current one. Don't overlook Abstract; it has significant buildup, and its NFT releases could potentially take over the NFT world. It was previously known as Frame X, Y, Z.
Plaza Finance: This is a straightforward testnet project, meaning you don't need real money to participate. Simply log in with your wallet and earn points by playing around with the "earn" tabs and leverage features on their testnet. Referring people and being active also helps. A key insight is that Discord roles are increasingly important for securing airdrops or multipliers, so always pay attention to not leaving relevant Discord servers, as you'll lose your ranks.
SonicX: This is the Sonic VM project on Solana, acting as a Layer 2 for Solana, and not to be confused with Phantom Sonic. You log in with your TikTok account and complete various tasks, like watching ads or using an invite system. A faucet was available but is now reportedly done. Many people have joined this project. It's considered one of the better projects on Solana right now, and there's a strong belief that Sonic will be airdropped to eligible TikTok users.
There are many airdrops happening right now, making it challenging to feature them all. More programs and news are available on the Airdrop Recon Telegram. This is the final airdrop-focused video of the year, as a short break is planned after the end-of-year recap to recharge from pushing daily content and delivering alpha to prepare everyone for the bull run peak next year.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! You're watching the last Aerodop Intel episode for this year. This is the episode number 19. We still have the end of the year recap coming out probably on the 26th or the 27th which will go into my 2025 Aerodop tier list. We're gonna be talking about blue chip NFTs, Deepin and also the most important thing how exactly we're gonna be exiting at the top of the market next year which is likely gonna be happening in Q2 or Q3. So this is likely gonna be one of the most important videos I'm gonna be doing the whole year. So make sure you're gonna be watching it when it will be dropping out. But let's kind of dive into what drops that we have going on right now. So one of the things I like about the current situation is that it doesn't matter how poor you are, how less money you have, you can farm something and make actually decent gains and that is due to the fact that we have a lot of these Telegram based airdrops and we have a lot of very very good testnet airdrops going on right now. And we're gonna be doing a separate video about that in January which will go into a lot of these testnets that you can do and make some decent money out of them. So the first thing I want to talk about here is Sentry nodes by Zai which is a gaming based blockchain using the Arbitrum technology. It is a layer 2 to Arbitrum. We could call it a layer 3 actually. And basically recently they changed out their key system. So before you could buy a node and it was roughly a price around $1,000 and I have already made the money back from that. But now they lowered the price in 0.015 Ethereum that is like what 100 bucks or something. And now you can buy a Sentry key and you can stake it to a delegator or actually to a pool inside their system. And you can also get 5% discount using my code which will be listed down below. So basically it's a very very accessible system. And the reason why I'm shelling this is not only because you're getting staking rewards from doing so which you can be basically selling. But they have also announced that there's gonna be a multiple airdrops happening for Sentry key holders. I do believe that there is gonna be some type of lottery. Some more keys that you hold. More you have chances to basically win some of these drops. So we have already 6 gaming projects already announced here and we got more coming. And I don't know if this is the most updated post. This is from December 16th. So a lot of people are gonna be getting these gaming based NFTs and tokens dropped to them if they're gonna be holding these Sentry keys which are just shilled. So Zai is one of the very few nodes which in my opinion have actually performed quite well. And now that you don't need to set up your own VPS for it, it's very accessible and a lot of people can jump into this game. So it's a pretty good deal right now. And this promotion for the discount might be running only for December. I'm not sure. But I guess you can try out in case you're watching this video in January. Another drop that we have going on is DropMoney. I think we have mentioned this in the past and this is a liquidity based protocol and they just started out supporting TIA. And I have already used TIA on Milk TIA and that's where I'm kind of like getting some yield rewards. These guys actually have multiple different things that you can do here. So this is not the only place or only asset that you can gather on their platform. So I have some droplets. I don't know if this is any good. I haven't really paid that much attention to this. But you have the ability to liquid state your atom and osmosis and neutron with this thing. And you can put them on the DeFi. There's a referral program which I have mentioned in some previous video. I don't remember when. And there's different pools that you can actually use here in order to get more rewards. DATOM is the asset that you can use and now you have DTIA as well. So in case you want to park your TIA somewhere, because what happened, remember last time, TIA went to skyrocket and people who had it staked couldn't sell it. But now you can liquid stake it. So this is giving us a lot of more opportunities right now. So this is something that I definitely recommend playing around if you have TIA. Don't do normal staking with Celestia anymore. Either use it on Milk TIA or on droplets. And same kind of applies for Atom. I will talk about that more in the end of the year video. But I do have a specific period of time when I'm going to be starting unstaking these Cosmos chains. Then we have Cytonic. This is a new blockchain that is actually using multiple virtual machines. Soana, Ethereum. I don't know what else that they are using. And this is a kind of like a mixture between deposit based Aerodop and also doing quests. And there's a referral program obviously over here. You can do different types of achievements. So basically linking your ex, doing a telegram, discord, all types of different things. And you will be getting these energies. And these energies can basically put into a lottery. So in case you're not going to be farming a lot, you can just put up all of your energy into this and maybe bet that you're going to be getting a lot of rewards. And then you have an opportunity to basically open up chests which have different types of rewards in them. I believe there's some type of NFT over here and all types. So these are the points, I believe, the fire things. So this kind of interesting, interesting system. I kind of like it actually. And this one, you know, it's pretty easy to do. I haven't deposited insane amounts of money because, you know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But even putting out 30 bucks, 20 bucks is going to be getting kickstarting your energy boost on the system. So that is actually pretty good. And you get 0.05 per each dollar that you deposit. So I am actually looking very much forward into it. And it's also very under farmed, aired up as of right now. Another very similar to Cytonic is called Yellow. And this one's similar in the sense that you have deposit on it. You have deposit options. And you have the options to do different types of quests inside the platform. I think this is some type of layer 2 project. I haven't had the most amount of time to basically put into it. It's currently on Season 2. Started around, well, 10 days ago. Actually, one month ago. No, 20 days ago in November 14. And it's going to be ending in January 14. So we've got plenty of time still farming this. And I do believe that this is going to be having Season 3 probably as well. So there's going to be a lot more people jumping in. And you can do deposit from different types of platforms into here. And there's a referral program. And there's a lot of different things. And as you can see, I'm pretty high ranked even with 10 points. That is a one check-in. So there's really not much competitive aspects here, in my opinion, in this system right now. So this is a nice one to farm. And you don't need to necessarily deposit money. NodePay started out a new season not too long ago. They also announced Eardrop for their Season 1. Which seems to be bugged for a lot of people. And a lot of people are reporting this. Unless they're doing a rug on us. I don't know. But this is kind of like a grass-based protocol. There's a lot of these going on right now. Some of them are a bit sketchy. And I have been farming it since Season 1 started out. And Season 2 started out, well, on 25th last month. So it has been going around less than a month. And it's probably going to be running for at least, I think, two months, I think I saw. And it has a claim, claiming that you can do per day. And that's something you want to do. And it's just a very low effort Eardrop. And that's why a lot of people are clutching into these. But at some point, there's going to be oversaturation. And not all of them can be printing a lot of money like grass did. So there's that danger. But it's something you definitely want to add. And obviously put it on some burner browser. And then we have a game, which is called Fusionist. This page over here doesn't look super impressive. But there are a lot of people already registered here. That is almost a million people that have joined in. So this is kind of like an invite system. You just put in your email, verify it, and that's it. I guess you can even bot referrals if you want to. And this is, you know, there's a lot of these Game Feet drops. They haven't been super big yet. But hey, it's always, you don't want to miss out when the big game comes out eventually. Then we have Abstract. And this is the new big NFT chain that a lot of people are talking about. They're partnered with Pudgy Penguins. Pudgy Penguins are likely going to be getting the Abstract Airdrop. And this is going to be launching, I believe in January. I might get stretched into February. This is simple tasks over here. There's a one mint quest, which I believe is on base. And that's like, what, $2. Probably a good thing to do in mint. There's a referral program. And then there's a couple of tasks where you can just like the tweets or something. And you're going to be getting points. They might start another program after this. There might be a follow up for this. This was referred as frame X, Y, Z before. So in case you remember that. And you can get obviously more points from getting friends over to this program. But I wouldn't fade on Abstract because it seems to have a lot of buildup. And I'm kind of interested in getting some of those NFT releases on that chain because it feels like that might be taking over the NFT world. Then we have another testnet called Plaza Finance. This is pretty straightforward testnet. Once again, you don't need any money to basically farm this. You just need to log in with your wallet and then you can start earning. There is an opportunity to also deposit money over here. Actually, sorry. This is deposited on testnet, not real money. So play around with the earn tabs and leverage. And that's going to be getting you some points over their system. And refer people, you know, the usual stuff. Be active. And you're likely going to be getting on airdrop when this comes out. And there's a couple of level things over here, things that you can claim. I've put a lot of focus on these Discord things recently, like they're becoming more and more important that you have certain Discord role. And that's going to be getting you an airdrop or more airdrop multipliers. So pay attention to not leaving Discord. When you leave Discord, you lose your ranks. And then lastly, we have Sonic X. And this is not the Phantom Sonic. This is the Sonic VM, a.k.a. the Sonic project on Solana, which is doing a layer 2 Solana thing. And this is actually something where you log in with your TikTok and you do a bunch of random things like watching an ad. And that basically takes it to your TikTok page. There's an invite system. There's the Odyssey, which we have talked about on the channel before. There's a faucet that's already apparently done. And there's a leaderboard and things like that. A lot of people have already joined into this. And it's something I really am bullish on. It's one of the better projects on Solana right now. So in terms of what to farm, they are in Testnet. And they obviously have in here they say airdroping Sonic to all eligible TikTok users now. But that's kind of bullish. But that's basically what I have to share with you guys today. Not much else. There's so many drops going on right now. It's always hard to what to feature in these videos. And we are definitely going to be obviously covering most of them on the Recon Telegram as well. A lot of programs and news there. And as I said, this is the last video of the year in terms of airdrops. I don't think I will be doing any guides until January. I will just do the end of the year thing. And I'm then just going to go on a bit of a break. Because I've been pushing videos on a daily now. And I've just been delivering as much alpha as possible to get you guys informed. To get you prepared for the eventual peak of the ball run next year. Thanks for watching. I will be seeing you in the next video. And happy holidays. Thanks for watching.
