Let me start.
Eigenlayer — Ethereum restaking protocol. They have points system that tracks your contribution, this points could be used in future similar to Jito where points were used for proportional airdrop.
You can read about Eigenlayer's points system
here.
A measure of your total EigenLayer restaking contribution. Based on amount of ETH staked over time, in units of ETH per second.

https://www.eigenlayer.xyz/I got in on EigenLayer via Ether.Fi and Swell network. I know that Ether.fi isn't an LST protocol but after asking EigenLayer Mods on Discord who confirmed that staking on Ether.fi also unlocks access to EigenLayer since Ether.Fi stakes directly via an EigenPod using a mechanism called native restaking. Swell as well but couldn't stake enough ETH to garner 30 PEARLs.
The golden years are over. A couple of years ago you had pretty huge airdrops that gave a lot of people a nice extra (i.e. bitcoincash) but nowadays it is hard to find real good ones. Don't get me wrong, if you google around, you will find hundreds of airdrops but none of them are really worth anything. The requirements to join one are real easy though.
A few have done well this year — Arbitrum, Sui Celestia and Jito to name a few did well. Honorable mentions to Jito and Celestia for the top performers this year.
