Participants start by signing up and playing the Age of Dino mini-game, among other activities, to earn XTER points and ROAR rewards. Xterio already announced a dashboard where airdrop participants can check their points for activities in the project ecosystem.

Players earn rewards by participating in exciting activities, including gameplay, and collecting NFTs (non-fungible tokens), with the game’s powering token, XTER, to be airdropped after the token generation event (TGE).

Vana: AI and Data Ownership Combined

The project meets players at the intersection between artificial intelligence (AI) and data ownership, leveraging a decentralized Layer-1 blockchain. It empowers individuals to own, govern, and monetize their data, shifting control from big tech to the people.

Allowing users to explore and control their digital identities, Vana launched its mini-app on Telegram, for participants to mine and earn VANA tokens. Users can create their “Digital Self” using their Virtual DNA (VNA) to personalize experiences in the “Vanaverse.”

Participants need to launch the Vana Data Hero Bot on Telegram and link their TON wallet. To earn VANA points, they must complete various VANA challenges, such as tapping, inviting friends, and playing games.

Neon: The First Parallelized EVM on Solana

The project advertises itself as the first parallelized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on Solana, where developers can build and launch Ethereum-native dApps from their existing codebase.

Neon mainnet airdrop is already confirmed after garnering up to $45 million in funds led by Jump Capital. Other backers include Solana Ventures, IDEO CoLab Ventures, Rockaway X, Three Arrows Capital, and Ethereal Ventures.

Participants complete tasks to qualify for potential airdrops and rewards, including following instructions and tracking task updates and statuses. Unlike Vana and Xterio, Daily on-chain activities are tracked and rewarded in Neon Points based on the number of daily transactions and total transaction value.
