Three overlooked NEAR airdrops: Meteor Wallet, Cosmose KAIKAI and Ember
Thread754 words
Walks through three NEAR ecosystem apps with confirmed upcoming tokens as airdrop opportunities. Cites Cosmose's KAIKAI as the number one dApp by unique active wallets and Ember's game studio user base.
Key claims
KAIKAI has over 700k daily active wallets and 2M monthly active users
NEAR Foundation invested in Cosmose at a $500M valuation in April 2023
Emby NFT floor around 0.17 ETH
Billions of $$$ have been airdropped to users in 2024 and people have been making 5 figures per month from airdrops.
However, the hype has led to industrialized airdrop farming & often small individual allocations.
The real alpha is hidden.
๐งต on 3 overlooked airdrops on NEAR. t.co/tCC2NRtUBO
1/ The focus in this thread lies on three protocols built on @NEARProtocol that regardless of the market down turn have consistently remained among the top apps on @DappRadar in the past month.
All three have a confirmed token launch coming up in the future.
2/ Why do we focus on @NEARProtocol?
NEAR is an ecosystem that is heavily undervalued. I have recently covered the ecosystem in depth, pointing out some interesting opportunities.
Today, we want to continue this exploration of the NEAR ecosystem.

3/ To get you ready to capitalize on the airdrop opportunities within the @NEARProtocol ecosystem, what you definitely need is a funded wallet.
That's the first opportunity to explore for an airdrop.
More specifically, we will be using @MeteorWallet.
4/ @MeteorWallet is a simple and secure wallet to manage your crypto, access DeFi, and explore Web3 that offers:
โฆ 1-click onboarding to a non-custodial browser wallet.
โฆ Named smart account wallets.
โฆ Seamless access to zero fee swaps & staking within the wallet.
5/ With the "Harvest Moon" campaign, @MeteorWallet also offers a gamified way to play & earn in the crypto world, while getting started:
๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐: Fun tasks for rewards
๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐๐: Grab $MOON tokens
๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป: $MOON = Meteor airdrops

7/ Now, let's have a look at a protocol that might be the biggest application layer airdrop opportunity in all of crypto right now.
Meet @Cosmose_, a platform transforming consumer empowerment leveraging AI and Blockchain.

8/ Since September 2023, @Cosmose_'s KAI-Ching has dominated the web3 app landscape, consistently the #1 spot for Unique Active Wallets (UAW) on @dappradar.
It boasts impressive stats such as >700k Daily Active Wallets and over 2 million Monthly Active Users!
9/ Back in April 2023, the @NEARFoundation made a strategic investment in @Cosmose_.
At a valuation of already $500M.
Looking at the surge in user activity, the valuation likely sits significantly higher already.

10/ The KAIKAI app is the core app of the @Cosmose_ platform.
It's all about putting the power back in consumers' hands by rewarding engagement and ensuring data ownership with KAI-Ching.
Unsurprisingly, KAI-Ching has become wildly popular.
11/ So what is it exactly?
An AI-powered, opt-in interactive lock screen and mobile app serving up curated content and shopping experiences tailored to you.
Engage, shop, and earn KAI-Ching!
12/ KAI-Ching is the heart of the ecosystem, rewarding users with $KAIC tokens for purchases & engagement on KAIKAI.
Those tokens can be redeemed for discounts or even free goods!
13/ But what is the purpose of all of this?
Your data is valuable.
However, traditional apps often fail to protect your privacy or ensure ethical usage of that personal data.
14/ @Cosmose_ founder Miron Mironiuk wants to change that:
"KAI-Ching was built to give users tangible benefits for their engagement, while ensuring that they retain ownership of the data."

15/ Finally, let's have a look at @play_ember.
A leading Web3 game studio with over 120M overall game downloads and more than 5M monthly active users and backed by investors like @ShimaCapital, @BigBrainVC and @Hyperithm.

16/ Back in February, @JonHook, co-founder of @play_ember dropped some spicy airdrop alpha.
Playing @play_ember games and holding Emby NFTs is the plan.

17/ Currently, the floor of an Emby NFT sits at roughly 0.17 $ETH on @opensea at the time of writing.
NFA, but worth looking into.
18/ If you don't want to buy & hold any NFTs, go check out the dozens of games ready for download both on Google Play as well as the Apple app store.
19/ Three high-profile projects.
Three overlooked (and yet confirmed) airdrops.
The @NEARProtocol ecosystem will be an epicentre of this bull run and application layer valuations are set to explode.
Positioning yourself early can change your life.
