3 DEPIN Projects With Airdrop Opportunities
The Grass airdrop has been a great success in the DePIN sector to reveal the possibilities of the decentralised projects. It was revealed in May of the same year that Grass, a Solana-based decentralized web scraping protocol, airdropped tokens to 2.8 million users from around the world, making it the world’s largest Solana airdrop.
This one incentivised users to donate unused Internet connection and the token ramped from $0.85 to $3.5 on the highs post the airdrop. Not only did the campaign increase user interaction but also stressed on the increasing adoption of DePIN projects, it was effective in setting a format for such initiatives in the ecosystem.
In the DePIN category, we have Gradient, DAWN and Bless Networks which implement blockchain technologies to decentralized physical systems such as computing, bandwidth and storage systems.
Gradient therefore aims at constantly distributing computing to edge clouds for amplified cloud services, DAWN is used to decentralize bandwidth through mesh networks for bandwidth sharing and Bless converts unused battery power to a global computation platforms.
All three use token rewards for users to participate actively and help in the enhancement of an efficient and the decentralized network.
Gradient Network
Gradient Network, built on Solana, introduces decentralized edge computing to scale cloud services. Users can install its browser extension, set up a node, and earn rewards for sharing unused capacity. Launched on September 12, it’s in early stages, offering a chance for early testers. Similar to projects like Grass and Dawn, it aims to optimize computing through decentralization.

Earn reward by using the santry node chrome extension and completing the tasks.
DAWN Network
DAWN Network is a protocol based on blockchain which allows users exchange and trade the excess Internet bandwidth. With such tools as Proof of Bandwidth, it incentivizes participation in expanding the support for its concept of a mesh network. It can be accessed by joining through the validator nodes or by the chrome extension. In testnet today, DAWN seeks to redefine the role of ISPs with decentralized community-based connectivity.

Bless Network
Bless Network is a decentralized platform that turns unused device processing power into a global shared computer. Users can install the Bless Node extension, contribute resources, and earn rewards. Now in testnet, it aims to replace centralized data centers with user-powered infrastructure for a decentralized internet.

Just run chrome extension and you will uptime depend on the activeness.
That’s all
