Canto is a Layer-1 blockchain whose vision is to fulfill the promise of DeFi. As a product of the post-traditional finance movement, Canto offers greater accessibility, transparency, and freedom.
Their airdrop surprised almost everyone—you could easily get about $2,000 worth of Canto tokens by simply applying for a testnet token with almost no effort.
By completing some simple tasks, you became eligible for around 10,000 Canto tokens—worth approximately $5,000 at the time. This was the standard airdrop; if you participated, check your wallet now.
Now that Arbitrum Odyssey has paused and it might still be too early for Arbitrum Nova, remember we are less than 70 days away from zkSync 2.0. Optimism and Evmos have already completed their token airdrops. What can we expect in 2022 and 2023?
Despite the current market downturn and sideways movement, there are still teams building some truly exciting projects. Let’s explore what could be the next “$Canto,” the next profitable L1. Below are 10 new blockchains I believe will perform well in 2022–2023.

Dogechain enhances Doge’s capabilities, bringing crypto applications like NFTs and DeFi to its community. This is a clear airdrop opportunity—even on their website, they state they’ll conduct an airdrop for $DOGE holders.
2. Sei Network

5. Celestia
The first modular blockchain network—so famous you’ve probably already heard plenty about it.
6. Partisia
