3 Crypto Airdrops to Watch for the Last Week of March

As crypto markets enter the last week of March, airdrop farmers are eyeing lucrative opportunities to join promising projects while still on the ground floor stage.

Here are three promising projects worth your attention for airdrop farmers looking to engage with a promising Bitcoin Layer-2 (L2), a unique Proof-of-Work (PoW) protocol, or an Ethereum scaling solution.

GOAT Network: Transforming Bitcoin into an Active Asset

GOAT Network is making waves as a Layer-2 solution. It expands Bitcoin’s capabilities with smart contracts and decentralized finance (DeFi). Officially launched on its Alpha Mainnet on March 17, 2025, the project is moving away from traditional one-time airdrops. Instead, it favors an ongoing rewards system via its “One Piece Project.”

“The launch of our alpha mainnet gives everyone the chance to earn in multiple ways,” GOAT Network shared.

Participants can bridge assets like native BTC, BTCB, or Dogecoin (DOGE). They can also mint soulbound NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and engage with dApps such as GOATSwap and Oku. Users earn GEC (Proof of Activity) and GOAT Points. These will later be convertible to GOATED tokens after the Token Generation Event (TGE). Notably, the TGE is scheduled for later in 2025.

Early adopters are encouraged to interact with the network actively, as airdrop rewards scale based on engagement.

Up to 6% of the GOAT token supply has been allocated for airdrops. Meanwhile, they reserved 42% for sequencer and community mining and an additional 1% for influencer partnerships. The focus remains community-driven growth, rewarding users who contribute liquidity and interact with dApps.

With a public mainnet and the TGE on the horizon, GOAT Network is positioning itself as a key player in the growing Bitcoin DeFi space.

Tari: A PoW Network Rewarding Early Engagement

Tari is a novel Layer-1 blockchain emphasizing user-driven proof-of-work and digital asset management. With its mainnet launch scheduled for April 2025, airdrop farmers have a prime opportunity to accumulate Gems. This could factor into future token distributions.

Meanwhile, the leaderboard shows top players with huge loads of Gems. This highlights a significant gap that raises concerns about a “whale-capped” airdrop distribution to prevent top-heavy rewards.

 “Thought I was doing reasonably well with my 85K TARI gems but looking at the leaderboard I’m a little bit behind the top guys Surely this must be whale capped somehow otherwise the airdrop will be pretty top heavy,” one airdrop farmer remarked.

The project has allocated 5% of the total XTM supply for incentive programs. Airdrop distribution is planned to take place approximately six months after the mainnet launch. However, community tokens will be subject to a 12-month vesting period.

Users can accumulate Gems by mining tXTM (testnet Tari) via Tari Universe. Additional methods include completing quests, referring friends, and holding Yats domain names with high rhythm scores.

Additionally, rarer collectibles called “Turtle Shells” and “Sky Hammers” may offer multipliers or boosts to airdrop eligibility, making them highly sought-after by dedicated participants. Tari’s proof-of-work algorithm is designed to be ASIC-resistant (ASIC—Application-Specific Integrated Circuits). This ensures the fair distribution of mining rewards among real users rather than large-scale mining farms.

Noteworthy, US residents are ineligible for the airdrop. However, global participants can still take advantage of this early-stage opportunity before testnet mining concludes at the mainnet launch.

MegaETH: An NFT-Based Approach to Airdrops

Unlike the typical airdrop farming model, MegaETH is taking a different approach. This Ethereum Layer-2 solution boasts 100,000 transactions per second (TPS). It has secured backing from Vitalik Buterin and a $20 million seed round.

Instead of offering free tokens to Sybil-heavy farmers, MegaETH opts for an NFT-based rewards mechanism. While its testnet is now live, the project has announced that there will be no immediate rewards for participation. However, many in the community speculate that interactions with the testnet may affect future eligibility.

“…btw no airdrop for using public testnet purpose is for us to battle-test, for builders to explore the tech unlock, and for users to experience real-time apps for the first time nothing against points just not our vibe,” MegaETH articulated.

There is no direct airdrop confirmed yet, but testnet interactions are free and may affect future rewards. MegaETH Airdrop farmers should monitor related projects like CAP Labs and Noise for potential early access clues.

Some community members have expressed frustration with the lack of an official airdrop. However, MegaETH’s novel approach may ultimately benefit long-term participants.

With airdrops remaining a major incentive in the crypto space, these three projects offer distinct opportunities for users to get involved.
