Important Airdrop UPDATES for TIA Liquid Stakers!!
## Decoding the Cosmos Airdrop Landscape: Milky Way, Drop Protocol, and More
The Cosmos ecosystem, while experiencing some market fluctuations, continues to offer intriguing airdrop opportunities.
This article dives into the recent and ongoing campaigns related to TIA liquid staking, analyzing the potential rewards and providing insights into other promising projects.
**Milky Way: A Lukewarm Outlook?**
Milky Way’s snapshot for M-Points, its TIA liquid staking rewards program, has been completed.
While participation spanned several months (from November 2023), the actual rewards remain uncertain.
Initial enthusiasm, fueled by Celestia’s high price in early 2024, has waned significantly due to the subsequent price drop.
Our analysis, corroborated by data from DefiLlama, reveals that Milky Way’s revenue generation, while initially promising, has fallen significantly, limiting the potential airdrop size.
While there’s a possibility of unexpected rewards from alternative revenue streams or investment strategies, expectations should be tempered.
**Drop Protocol: A More Promising Picture?**
Unlike Milky Way, Drop Protocol, a member of the Lio Alliance (the largest liquid staking protocol globally), presents a more optimistic outlook.
Their TVL (Total Value Locked) remains relatively healthy, and our analysis suggests considerably higher revenue generation compared to Milky Way over a shorter period.
Drop is currently running a testnet for its iniTIA liquid staking asset, offering participants a chance to earn extra points or multipliers for the upcoming airdrop.
Actively participating in the testnet is highly recommended.
**Actionable Steps for Drop Protocol:**
To participate in the Drop Protocol iniTIA testnet, follow these steps:
1. **Obtain iniTIA tokens:** Use the iniTIA testnet faucet and provide your Kepler wallet address.
(Do *not* use the iniTIA wallet unless you are already actively farming with it).
2. **Enable chain integration:** Enable the iniTIA testnet on your Kepler wallet.
3. **Liquid stake:** Liquid stake your iniTIA tokens on the Drop Protocol testnet.
**Beyond TIA Liquid Staking:**
The article also covers two additional airdrop campaigns:
* **Ada App:** This project, incubated by a subsidiary of CIS Labs, is running a $1 million airdrop campaign.
Participation involves creating a wallet and completing easy tasks on their website.
* **LayerEdge:** This project is currently in its incentivized testnet Phase 2.
While invite codes are required (you might find them on relevant communities), participating involves running a node and completing various tasks.
**Important Considerations:**
The article emphasizes the importance of realistic expectations. While airdrops offer potential rewards, not all projects deliver significant returns. Due diligence, researching revenue models, and understanding market conditions are crucial.
