As the crypto market reels from geopolitical tensions, with Bitcoin’s (BTC) position above the $100,000 psychological level now in the balance, several projects are launching enticing airdrops.
These offers provide crypto enthusiasts with opportunities to engage with existing and budding platforms with little to no initial financial input. This week, we discuss airdrop participation opportunities from three projects with financial backing from renowned investors.
Sui
The Sui blockchain announced a community passport that community members can “smint,” proving their humanity and qualifying for airdrops. The passport only costs a few cents.
Airdrop farmers can visit the website, connect their wallets, click “Get your stamps,” fill in all the fields, and mint their passports.
Although still in the potential status, the Sui airdrop is attracting significant attention, with an X score of 2,204, one of the highest on cryptorank.io as of this writing.
SUI, a Layer-1 blockchain developed by Mysten Labs, is popular for its high-speed, low-cost transactions. The ecosystem is ripe with opportunities from its 85+ mainnet projects, with 70-80% potentially offering airdrops in 2025.
The prospective Sui airdrop comes amid strong financial backing, with up to $336 million in funds raised. Key backers include Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, and YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs).

The Humanity Protocol is also an interesting crypto airdrop to watch. After a three-tier fundraiser, the project raised $50 million. Key participants include Pantera Capital, Jump Crypto, Animoca Brands, and Hashed Fund.
With a confirmed airdrop status on Cryptorank.io, this blockchain infrastructure project is running the second phase of its testnet, with changes in the conversion of previously earned RWT to HP (Humanity Points); other activities remain the same.
“If you are already participating in this testnet, continue earning points. If you are new, now is the time to start,” the network stated.
Humanity Protocol is a zkEVM Layer-2 blockchain focused on decentralized identity via Proof-of-Humanity (PoH). It uses noninvasive palm scans. The project is listed on Binance Alpha and Bybit, and trading will start on June 25.
The airdrop targets testnet participants who earn Humanity Points (HP) by completing tasks like registering a Human ID, verifying emails, and bridging assets to Sepolia. Users can boost rewards by joining the Fairdrops waitlist and securing Discord roles like Verified Human.
Binance’s Alpha Points program also offers H tokens to eligible users. Despite a 51% price drop post its Season 1 airdrop, the project’s strong backing from Animoca Brands and its focus on secure identity verification make it a compelling opportunity.
Ritual
Crypto investors should also monitor the Ritual airdrop, though it is still in the potential status on Cryptorank.io. With up to $25 million in funding, the project boasts support from Polychain Capital, Robot Ventures, Hack VC, and Archetype Ventures, among others.
Available since June 17, Ritual is running an ambassador program that is open to community members and airdrop farmers who apply.
The project aims to integrate transparent AI computation with blockchain. Given the trend of AI-crypto projects like Venice AI offering rewards, Ritual will likely follow suit, potentially targeting testnet users or community contributors.
To prepare, farmers need to monitor ritual.net and join Ritual’s X and Discord channels for testnet or airdrop announcements.
Engaging in developer programs or social tasks could position users for future rewards, mirroring strategies used by similar projects.
While details remain speculative, Ritual’s focus on AI innovation makes it a project to watch.
Nevertheless, airdrop farmers must always verify campaigns through official sources to avoid scams, as unconfirmed airdrops carry higher risks.
