Connext's Airdrop Sabotaged
After launching its new token, NEXT, Connext experienced a Sybil attack during the airdrop phase.
A perpetrator managed to acquire $38,000 in tokens, which were earmarked for genuine users.
Notably, Connext is a protocol built for the secure transfer of both assets and data across different networks.
Interestingly, the project’s prior efforts to implement an anti-Sybil program proved to be ineffective in preventing the hacking attempt. 
Is airdrop in Thailand going to happen after all?
Srettha Thavisin became the Prime Minister of Thailand and continued to discuss the idea of an airdrop for all citizens of the country over the age of sixteen. Under the preliminary terms, each individual will receive 10,000 Thai baht (approximately $300) in a national token and will be able to spend it within a four-kilometer radius of their residence. The initiative has not yet received approval among politicians, as its cost is estimated at $14.3 billion, and financiers have questioned the feasibility of using blockchain for such campaigns. Apparently, the promises about airdrop was not unnecessary for victory! Layer-1 blockchain Sei is now live on mainnet!
Stated to be a staggering 10 times faster than Solana, the network accomplishes transaction finality in just 250 milliseconds.
Trading of the blockchain's native token (SEI) has started on different centralized exchanges, and it's now valued at approximately $0.19.
There's also news of an airdrop, but claiming will be permitted only after the "initial warm-up period."
The time frame for this warm-up has not yet been revealed. Big News Alert: WhiteBIT Blockchain Unveiled!
Get ready, crypto fans, because in just two days, WhiteBIT is about to make a major announcement regarding the release of their mainnet, WB Network!
The blockchain explorer is already up and running, allowing you to keep track of the countdown to the launch.
Also, good news for participants in the testing phase — the developers have confirmed a retroactive airdrop for you! Once the release is live, you'll be eligible to receive the airdrop. WhiteBIT Takes a Final Snapshot!
WhiteBIT has just announced that they've taken a snapshot and closed Zealy quests.
The launch date for the WB Network's mainnet is still under wraps, but it might be coming soon. Right now, the company is busy checking user activity leading up to the snapshot.
So, let's keep our eyes peeled for the airdrop! 
Sei honors its early users with rewards
The Sei team has initiated token claims for those who participated in the testnet early on. However, the meager bonuses received have left many reevaluating their decision to engage in future airdrops, especially for Tier-2 or Tier-3 projects.
Rewards were disappointingly scant, with most individuals earning only a nominal amount for blockchain testing.
The SEI token price decreased by 20%, possibly attributed to either the overnight downturn in the crypto market or the airdrop itself.
P.S.:To claim your tokens, the Compass wallet is essential, and some regions might require a VPN. Altitude: An Overview of the Project and Testnet Guide
Altitude has launched its testnet, enabling engagement with LayerZero's trial network. Participating in this testnet could potentially qualify you for a retroactive airdrop. Altitude has its native token, ALTD, which they may distribute to willing testers. 
Optimism Launched 3rd Round of its Airdrop
However, it's not tied to quests... Layer 2 blockchain Optimism initiated its third wave of token distribution exclusively for OP delegators. To qualify for the rewards, participants needed to accumulate 18,000 points. The points were calculated by multiplying the number of delegated OP by the delegation days, which must exceed 7 days. If the delegate actively engaged in voting, a minimum of 9,000 points was required. There's no claiming process or forms to fill out! Tokens have been automatically sent straight to users' wallets. In total, over 19 million OP tokens have been distributed to 31,870 unique addresses. Missed the first airdrop from Optimism? No worries!
The Optimism Governance has announced a direct distribution of unclaimed tokens from the inaugural airdrop. They aim to distribute (if not already done) 48 million OP across over 88,000 distinct addresses. This accounts for about 25% of all the addresses originally qualified to receive tokens. This decision was made to allow the team to shift their focus to other endeavors related to smart contracts and upcoming airdrops. 
ARKM's Popularity Takes a Hit After the Airdrop
CryptoQuant data indicates that there's been a 99% decrease in the number of active addresses, along with a 98% drop in transaction volume.
The majority of airdrop recipients (95% of them) opted to sell their tokens, with a significant 80% getting rid of their tokens entirely.
