Airdrops and Tokens: Blockchain Networks You Should Look Out for in 2023
2023 welcomes the blockchain space with innovation and a huge potential for transformative innovation. As more industries and individuals recognize the benefits of decentralized systems, the demand for robust and efficient blockchain networks has skyrocketed, and to make all of these work in the real world, blockchain developers keep working on solutions that try to achieve decentralization, security, and scalability without compromising one for the other.
These new blockchain networks offer novel solutions to the long-standing blockchain trilemma that hinders wide adoption and limits us from harnessing the full power of blockchain technology.
Some of these blockchains started their projects as long ago as 5 years ago but just launched or plan to launch their mainnet this year, some with airdrops and native tokens. So, as a prospective investor in the blockchain space, this article will interest you as it provides you with valuable insights into these blockchains. Keep reading!
Aptos (APT)
Aptos aims to revolutionize supply chain management using the power of blockchain technology. With an array of impressive features, Aptos ensures that information about each product is securely stored, enabling consumers to trace the origins of products, verify authenticity, and even monitor conditions during transit. With such transparency, consumers can make more informed decisions and build trust with international companies and brands.
To facilitate speed and efficiency, Aptos validates transactions using the Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm, and it has launched its native token (APT), which plays a vital role within the Aptos ecosystem, facilitating transactions, incentivizing network participants and enabling seamless interactions within the supply chain network.
Cwallet allows you to send, receive, and hold APT tokens for free and also swap APT tokens to and from the 800+ cryptocurrencies available on Cwallet.
You can also use APT tokens to interact with other Cwallet features such as tipping and airdropping, mobile top-ups, bulk payments, and many more.
Arbitrum (ARB)
Arbitrum breathes fresh air into the Ethereum ecosystem. By leveraging its innovative layer 2 technology, Arbitrum enables faster and more cost-effective transactions, making decentralized applications (dApps) more accessible and user-friendly than ever before. With Arbitrum, you can bid farewell to those dreaded gas fees that have been holding you back from fully enjoying the benefits of Ethereum.
Arbitrum relies on “Optimistic Rollups,” a consensus mechanism that combines efficiency and security. By “rolling up” multiple transactions into a single batch and verifying them off-chain, Arbitrum achieves remarkable scalability without compromising the integrity of the Ethereum network.
Abritrum is one of the three popular scaling solutions peculiar to the Ethereum network (alongside Polygon and Optimism), all of which launched between 2020–2021. However, having launched its own native token (ARB), which is used as a utility and governance token, Arbitrum has become more popular in recent times.
Cwallet allows you to send, receive, and hold ARB tokens for free and also swap ARB tokens to and from the 800+ cryptocurrencies available on Cwallet.
You can also use ARB tokens to interact with other Cwallet features such as tipping and airdropping, mobile top-ups, bulk payments, and many more.
Optimism (OP)
Like Arbitrum, Optimism is on a mission to address the scalability issues that have been holding Ethereum back. From its name, we can easily deduce that it uses the “Optimistic Rollup” technology that allows for the bundling of multiple transactions into a single batch, which is then verified off-chain. Hence, Optimism significantly enhances the throughput of the Ethereum network, making transactions faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective.
Optimism’s major selling point compared to its peers (Arbitrum and Polygon) is its high level of security. With advanced cryptographic techniques and smart contract functionality, Optimism ensures that every transaction is validated accurately and securely.
Although its mainnet was launched in 2021, the Optimism token (OP) was launched last year and is set to make huge waves in 2023 with a major upgrade in June.
Cwallet allows you to send, receive, and hold OP tokens for free and also swap OP tokens to and from the 800+ cryptocurrencies available on Cwallet.
You can also use OP tokens to interact with other Cwallet features such as tipping and airdropping, mobile top-ups, bulk payments, and many more.
ZkSync
ZkSync is a Layer-1 blockchain that harnesses the power of zero-knowledge (zk) proofs to achieve scalability and privacy. Zero-knowledge proofs allow you to prove the validity of a transaction without revealing any sensitive information. In other words, you can conduct your transactions privately while ensuring their correctness and integrity.
But ZkSync isn’t just about privacy. It’s also a scalable solution for Ethereum-compatible tokens. ZkSync employs a variant of the “ZK Rollup” mechanism (Validium chains) to boost transaction throughputs, making it faster, more secure, and more efficient.
ZkSync set out tasks to reward early adopters with airdrops in 2023; hence, a ZkSync token in 2023 is on the cards.
SUI
SUI, short for Superior User Interface, focuses on creating a DeFi ecosystem with an unparalleled user experience. SUI aims to make DeFi accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of technical expertise. Whether you want to lend, borrow, or engage in yield farming, SUI’s interface ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience.
But SUI isn’t just about aesthetics and user-friendliness. It’s built on a solid foundation of interoperability and smart contract capabilities. This means that SUI seamlessly integrates with other blockchain networks and protocols, allowing you to tap into a wider array of DeFi opportunities. You can navigate between different platforms, explore new investment opportunities, and diversify your portfolio, all within the SUI ecosystem.
The SUI token (SUI) serves as a utility and governance token, giving holders the ability to participate in key decisions and shape the future of the SUI DeFi ecosystem. It’s a token that empowers the community and rewards active participants.
End Note
Stay curious, continue exploring, and keep an eye on these blockchain networks as they evolve and shape the future of blockchain. The possibilities and opportunities with these blockchains are limitless, and you can invest in them with their various utility and governance tokens.
However, ensure to stay informed, and conduct due diligence before investing in any of these tokens!
