Play these games, level up, complete quests and become eligible for a crypto airdrop!

Play-to-airdrop has become a new meta for games in the Web3 community, as game studios look for innovative ways to reward community members, attract new players and distribute their crypto tokens. With the rise of NFTs and crypto in video games, the play-to-airdrop campaigns could become a new marketing standard in the games industry.

What is play-to-airdrop?

Play-to-airdrop is a token distribution and user acquisition campaign to kickstart the launch of a cryptocurrency. Participants become eligible to receive a cryptocurrency based on their in-game activity.

Web3 games, NFT games, blockchain games, whatever you call them, they always offer interesting opportunities to win, earn and own digital assets. In most cases these reward distributions are part of the game economy. When these items have demand, they gain value, and players can therefore sell them on the market. It’s all part of the economical layer of a video game’s ecosystem.

However, play-to-airdrop works slightly differently. This distribution mechanic is meant to find the most dedicated players and reward them accordingly. Players who farm, craft, beat monsters, and level up their characters, become eligible for these airdrops. Very often, a play-to-airdrop campaign means the kick start of a game economy. Because after the play-to-airdrop campaign, the initial distribution of a crypto token has been completed.

Play Kuroro Beasts, earn KURO airdrop

TreasureDAO’s Kuroro Beasts will release their KURO token early in 2024. They will distribute the token to users who are active in the ecosystem, and who hold and stake their Beasts. However 7% of the KURO distribution will go to players who actively engage with the game. You can earn points through in-game tasks, specific game events and social media activity. The more points you earn, the bigger your share of the KURO pie.

Play Pixels, earn PIXEL airdrop

Players can already earn BERRY tokens by farming and completing quests in Pixels. However, the team will launch a long play-to-airdrop campaign for PIXEL, their governance token. PIXEL will also unlock certain mechanics in the Pixels game world, for example breeding certain limited edition pets. The PIXEL play-to-airdrop campaign is expected to arrive in January, but the team will officially announce the event 3 days before launch.
