Regarding AIRDROPS, I realized that certain underestimated projects largely remunerated early users (for example $JITO) unlike very widely publicized projects, so I will add here every week at least one project which seems interesting without of course any certainty of result on a potential airdrop. This week focus some projects on MANTA network (funding $25M)  :
