Airdrop Hunting Thread

[MAAManda]

It has been several months since my last airdrop hunt, the last ones I can remember are Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) & Catizen (CATI). I'm making good money from both, even though it's not actually worth the time I've put in. Now, I want to try my hand again at hunting for the good airdrops that are making waves in the industry. Do you have any lists that are at least worth me taking a look at @tokeweed?

I just don't wanna be overthinking by having huge expectation, then the result will put me down to the ground. It's why having less expectation is not only good for us, but also good for our mental health.  

Well, I experienced time and again a few years ago. But I realized my own fault. Because I set my expectations for airdrops far too high right from the start. And really, how could I not? I saw so many posts about people striking it rich making thousands of dollars, from airdrops. That triggered a serious case of FOMO. Making me want to get in on the action. The problem was, I didn't really understand the process back then. So I just went about it haphazardly. But as you said, the results were a total bust time after time, nothing to show for it. The old saying that "failure is the stepping stone to success". It didn't apply to my airdrop attempts. I just kept failing over and over again.

As I already been saying over and over again around these boards.  They only ones that are worth looking at lately, at least for me, are Hyperliquid and trade.xyz.  I'm having a fantasy that trade.xyz will have an HL style airdrop that'll be a generational miracle for its most loyal users.   

The people who missed the Hyperliquid airdrop are looking for the next big one and they've been looking at Variational, Pacifica, N1 and a few other perps dex's.  But after seeing the LIT airdrop, I don't think those ones will be as huge as Hyperliquid's airdrop.

Another one that could be a surprise is Base...  And I think the next most disappointing one will be Polymarket.

Many tokens do not have any practictal use and do not cost something.
That is why airdrops now not so popular and many people do not participate in airdrops not to waist their time.
But a lot depends on the project and how useful it is for the people.

It all depends on the project to be promoted through airdrop. If good project come now and arrange their airdrop well, they will surely get people to participate, no one is willing to waste their time on a project that is not important to the society and no solid background, if they participate in the airdrop, they will end up with bunch of coins with zero value which means your effort is worthless, that is why people are careful before they participate in any airdrop.

There are actually some good airdrop projects, but to find them is the challenge and because of how often airdrop based tokens fail in the general crypto market, it has raised an alarm, and no ones will want to waste their time to farm an airdrop that will not pay good money.

Anything puvlished on x is just pure click bait to get the traffic. Most of CT did it by posted an airdrop result that might be owned by someone else. However, i'm still able making four - five figs from airdrop every year. So it's totally depend on how smart we are in picking a legit airdrop.

It's all because airdrop is no longer a free launch. You need capital to get decent airdrop, and the era for people to get airdrop for free is already ended. I agree their product also matter, but hype matter most to help the project becomes success, then their airdrop worth decent amount of money.


by the way to update you guys we still have plenties of tokenless perp platforms. So i think doing delta neutral is pretty good in chasing points to be eligible for airdrop.

So far only GRVT who has done an airdrop from the less while the rest is still tokenless. If you're active traders on cex, the better you go to trade on those exchanges to chase profit and airdrop at the same time.

Your patience level is top-notch bro, because I can't engage in anything that am not certain of X amount of returns, but if you are actually making four of five figures yearly as you are claiming, then it's not bad, because the stress will be  worth it.

I knows that free airdrop era is over, but their are some airdrop I did in the past in telegram mini apps, which I committed some amount of money on, but nothing concrete came out of them because what was given to me and few others that participated wasn't even up to $10, and I experienced that for more than three different occasions, so since then I just gave up on airdrop because the stress does not correspond with what you will get back in return, but with your testimony here, it seems like you are getting it clearer, or better still going for the right project, than we that was just doing any shitty project out there.

You generate 4 to 5 digits each year is a rare hunter, can you spil project name that makes you memorable? and how prosfek airdrop throughout the year 2026? how many digits have been generated?

in this economy, hunting for airdrops at the expense of capital, the activity has already begun to me less.  Especially when the services they offer require trading by competing to increase volume. The free airdrop Era is almost extinct and I don't think everyone can survive in this changed airdrop industry.

Gone are the days we used to hunt after airdrops, but not anymore, because we have learned a lot and discovered many things we didn't know before regarding cryptocurrency, only the beginner has been have an interest in airdrops to gain insight into how things work in crypto by first familiarizing themselves with airdrops.

When you say "in the past," even last year airdrops were active, people were profiting from them. In recent months, they've become very stagnant; I haven't heard anything. I think it's entirely due to the bear market; if there's hype again, new projects will continue giving out airdrops. Although, airdrops are decreasing every period, it's hard to know what the future holds. Still, it's worthwhile to keep working and following what's happening in the market, so you don't regret missing out on Uniswap-style airdrops.

^  Not really sure why you're replying to his post...  My brain turned to mush after reading it and actually trying to understand it. 

Anyway, people at CT are starting to talk about Hyperliquid airdrop 2 again.  Not really sure what the criteria is but they say that to cover all your bases you should be trading in the exchange, staking some HYPE and hold a Hypurr NFT. 

And it's not just trading for the sake of being active.  You should really be trading...  Like a real user.

[tokeweed]

Yo airdrop hunters...  Just so you know, deployment for HIP 4 outcome markets are now live at Hyperliquid.  There's a project called outcome.xyz that are starting to open some markets.  So it might be a good idea to try it out and get some activity up in there.  It doesn't have to be anything big. 

But as for me, I'm waiting for trade.xyz's deployment and I'm mostly waiting for some sports outcome markets which are not available yet.

Many altcoins costs nothing and have zero liquidity when they come to the market and begin to trade on the exchanges.
It is not enough to create an altcoin it is necessary to create ecosystem of altcoin and make it useful for people that it will have some value and cost on the exchanges.

[SanjkaM]

When appear a lot of different cryptocurrencies every day it is very difficult to understand which cryptocurrency will become useful and which one will not become useful in the future.
Many cryptocurrencies will not have any value at all that is why many users now do not participate in airdrops not to waist their time and get any tokens which have no value at all.

[tokeweed]

Good news for you guys who like to bet on sporting events.  Hyperliquid will do an upgrade that will include the templates for sports betting.  Not really sure how it will look like when it comes out but what if they figured out a way to do parlays..?  That's something that couldn't be done in other venues for outcome markets like Polymarket. 

But yeah...  For airdrop hunting, I'll say it again, try outcome.xyz and also try trade.xyz's own outcome market product when it comes out.

And don't forget to stake HYPE.  That should increase your chances for getting eligibility in HL eco airdrops. 

Another way to increase your chances is via holding a Hypurr NFT but it's expensive... 

[AlexFoxsY]

Now it is very difficult to find a good airdrop.
There are a lot of different airdrops and but it is not enough to get tokens of airdrop.
It is necessary that tokens will have any value that it will be possilbe to sell them on exchanges without any problem.

[tokeweed]

^  True...  The thing to do these days is just use the different projects and protocols that you're into.  If you're into trading perps then go trade in Variational, Hyperliquid and trade.xyz.  If you're into betting in sports or world events then go use Polymarket and outcome.xyz. 

If you're a real user of these projects and protocols, it won't feel like you're airdrop farming.  You're just doing what you're regularly doing and maybe get an airdrop along the way.

Now airdrops are not so popular because it is very difficult to earn money on them.
When tokens of airdrops came to listing on the exchanges they have very small price and it is very difficult to earn something on the airdrops.
That is why now it is so difficult to find a good airdrop to earn cryptocurrency.

It's totally depending on how good you are in picking airdrop. I can only suggest to do cherry picking on airdrop. It's because most of them are not paying decent amount of money. However, airdrop is not dead yet.

Recently, so many people are getting three figures - five fixgures from Canopy just for testing tesnet and did daily acitivity to collect canopy points.

So you have to learn it better how to monitor a legit airdrop. Tokeweed already mentioned some legit project which may do airdrop but it's all perps and rwa.

However, you can try to use some airdrop sites like https://airdrops.io/ to get a not perp legit airdrop. I can only tell you just try to work for Axist Robotics. This one seems legit.

The market situation is the reason why you may think that airdrops are not earning money now, they might just participate in an airdrop and get rewarded, but how long can the project last in the market or how far can it go in the market? The biggest challenge is the avenue to hype and get the project listed which is very difficult at this time because the market is not favorable for even the existing project not to talk of new projects, this is the reason why most airdrops will struggle at this time of the market.

However, we can have another airdrop season maybe anytime soon once the market started to take the bullish trend, new projects will come because they will try to be listed before the next halving or during that period so that there will be hype and there will another projects to look at since all the existing mentions are not doing well.

Yeah, the thing about why I mostly keep suggesting perps trading is it's what I mostly do in crypto these days.  And since there's a possibility for Hyperliquid to airdrop again and for trade.xyz to give out a decent airdrop then what else can I say?

The thing is do what you love and use the protocols and projects that align with what you love doing.  If you guys like DeFi then go look for projects that do DeFi that might give out an airdrop. 

There's an L2 network launched by Kraken called Ink which has a points program rn.  I think some of you guys might like to check it out.
