NFT airdrops are the new exciting feature in the crypto market for enthusiasts!

Airdrops have a meaningful history, especially in the global cryptocurrency and blockchain domain. An airdrop in the cryptocurrency business is a type of marketing stunt which involves sending coins or tokens to wallet addresses to promote or create awareness of a new virtual currency. Over the years, Defi airdrops have evolved and it also gave birth to NFT airdrops, by further diversifying the domain manifolds. Since NFTs are being increasingly adopted by investors, let us take a look at some of the biggest NFT airdrops of 2021.

Rarible: Rarible is a creator-centric market for buying and selling NFTs. Investors can use its native token RARI to perform transactions. It is distinguished as the first-ever governance token in the crypto marketplace, and it facilitates proposal and voting rights to its holders. Rarible is also conducting one of the biggest NFT airdrops in the crypto domain with a weekly airdrop of 75,000 tokens.

Lotto: It is an ethereum-based digital lottery platform, conducting inflexible weekly lotteries. Five Lotto tokens are set aside for every participating wallet, which is pooled together and assigned to a random winner every week. Currently, they are airdropping up to 2000 LOTTO tokens per week.

Zed Run: Zed Run is a blockchain-based horse racing game. The game uses NFTs to represent one horse. Each horse has its own unique characteristics and capabilities, which means the investors could end up with a champion stallion, or perhaps, can be better equipped with a stud.

Binance Smart Chain: Currently, the Binance Smart Chain has emerged to be a strong competitor to ethereum, especially with regards to NFTs.

The project was inspired by the modern CryptoArt movement. Currently, it ranks 3rd among the NFTs and has a high demand. Earlier, when it started, the prices were quite cheap, but with the increase in demand, the prices when and now even its cheapest NFT token costs around US$100,000.

PancakeSwap: It is a crypto trading platform built on the binance smart chain with a total value of US$1.9 million attached to it. PancakeSwap has the most popular NFT airdrop a few weeks ago.

They are algorithmically generated with the 100th bunny having wings and special features. This is also one of the biggest airdrops in the crypto domain. Out of the 10,000 bunnies, generally, 1500 are given for free.
