Airdrops are no longer as good as they used to be.
But you can still make good money from them.
If, for instance, you hold stablecoins, DeFi can give you a yield that is many multiples higher than what you can get in TradFi on fiat.
It's all about farming the right protocols. Personally, I’ve been heavily farming airdrops for over two years, and I still manage to earn a very good amount of money from this activity to this day, so I believe it’s still worth it.
All the content that I create is free, but if you want to support me, you can do it by using my invite links.
With that being said, here’s the list of 25 airdrops I'm farming at this moment👇
Lighter
Lighter was launched a few months ago as the first perpetual DEX with zero fees, and it quickly became one of the fastest-growing perpetual DEXs.
This is one of my highest conviction airdrops at this moment.
My strategy: I trade perps with Lighter and try to generate as much trading volume as possible (Pro Tip: if you trade altcoins with a small market cap, you’ll get more points)
Rewards: Lighter points (The team hinted at an airdrop of 30–50% of the token supply during an AMA, which would be similar to the HYPE airdrop allocation)
Additional notes:
What’s interesting is that Lighter is still in an invite-only phase, yet it somehow became the 2nd largest perpetual DEX by daily trading volume
Its TGE should happen in Q4 according to the team
Lighter points get scarcer over time - A fixed number of points is distributed to traders every week, regardless of how much the protocol’s trading volume grows, which is great as it rewards early adopters
You can use a delta-neutral strategy to generate a lot of trading volume if you’re not a trader (I explained how here)
👉Here’s an invite link to it (first-come, first-served, as I have limited invites).
Falcon Finance
Falcon is a stablecoin protocol that generates yield through a wide range of market-neutral strategies, including arbitrage, staking, and yield farming.
In the last 6 months, its TVL went from $85M to $1.54b.
My strategy: I provided USDf as liquidity to the Falcon’s sUSDf pool on Pendle (you can swap USDC to Falcon’s USDf stablecoin on Falcon website)
Rewards: 17.61% base APY + 36x Falcon Miles
Additional notes:
The TGE timeline hasn’t been announced, but Falcon has recently raised $10M in funding, which makes me think it will eventually have a token
sUSDf is Falcon’s yield-bearing stablecoin, and its APR over the past weeks has been quite high, ranging between 7%-11%
Kinetiq
Kinetiq is a liquid staking protocol built natively on Hyperliquid.
It is probably the most popular DeFi protocol in the HyperEVM ecosystem, and it’s currently the largest HyperEVM dApp by TVL.
My strategy: I provided HYPE as liquidity to the Kinetiq’s vkHYPE pool on Pendle (on HyperEVM)
Rewards: 8.17% base APY + Kinetiq points
Additional notes:
The TGE timeline isn’t known
Kinetiq points are currently trading at ~$4.66 on Rumpel at the time of writing (in case you want to sell or buy OTC)
Given the huge hype around Kinetiq, I think it’s a good idea to farm it if you hold HYPE, as a strong community usually leads to a high token valuation
HyperBeat
Hyperbeat is one of my favorite protocols from the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
It has a wide range of products, including automated DeFi vaults, a money market, and a swap aggregator for HyperEVM.
My strategy: I provided USDT as liquidity to Hyperbeat’s USDT vault (on HyperEVM L1) which you can find on its Earn page
Rewards: 9.73% base APY + Hyperbeat Hearts points + 7 other types of HyperEVM ecosystem points
Additional notes:
Hyperbeat TGE date has not been announced, but rumors are spreading that its airdrop will be based on tiers, benefiting users with a smaller capital
The Hyperbeat USDT vault generates yield by automatically providing liquidity to a wide range of HyperEVM protocols, and this is how it earns so many points
You can bridge USDT to HyperEVM via thehyperliquidbridge.xyz (a bridge that is powered by LayerZero)
👉Here’s an invite link to Hyperbeat.
Mass (+Hyperliquid)
Mass is probably the best DeFi Mobile App I’ve tried out so far.
It allows you to swap, trade perps via its product powered by Hyperliquid, buy tokenized stocks, on/off-ramp, and more.
My strategy: I mostly trade perps using its Hyperliquid integration. (You need to download its mobile app first to do that)
But you can also earn MASS incentives via swaps and other activities.
Rewards: Every $1 fee paid to Mass earns you 2 future MASS tokens that will be unlocked at the TGE
Additional notes:
The TGE timeline hasn’t been announced yet
Trading perps seems to be the easiest way to farm MASS tokens (which might also qualify you for Hyperliquid’s potential 2nd airdrop), and I like that you can do it from your phone
👉Here’s an invite link to Mass.
USD.AI
USD.ai is a stablecoin protocol backed by AI infrastructure credit.
It targets a 15-25% APR from loans to emerging AI companies, loans that are collateralized by the hardware equipment.
The protocol is very hyped, and I think USDai has a high potential to do one of the biggest recent airdrops for stablecoin holders in terms of APR.
My strategy: Mint sUSDai on USDai dApp and provide it as liquidity to the sUSDai pool on Pendle (the only thing is that the protocol TVL cap has been reached, so you need to wait for a new cap increase before minting sUSDai)
However, in the meantime, you can earn USDai points by lending USDC on Euler to the “K3 Capital USDai Cluster” pool for 3.71% APY + 10x USDai points
Rewards (for the Pendle’s sUSDai LP strategy): 23% base APY + 12x USDai points
Additional notes:
USDai’s points program will end in 6 months or once $20M in yield is paid
It takes ~30 days to unstake sUSDai (which is indeed a pretty long period, so this is something to keep in mind)
The protocol raised $13.4M in Series A and is backed by YZi Labs (formerly known as Binance Labs)
👉Here’s an invite link to USD.AI.
Cap Money
Cap is described as the first Type III stablecoin.
What makes it stand out is that it outsources yield generation.
Basically, the funds backing its cUSD stablecoin are lent to operators (financial institutions), who generate yield via several strategies and return it to cUSD holders.
My strategy: I provided stcUSD as liquidity to the stcUSD pool on Pendle (you can buy stcUSD, a staked version of Cap’s cUSD stablecoin, on Cap website)
In case you’re wondering why I use Pendle so much, it’s because the liquidity pools on Pendle typically offer the highest airdrop points multipliers.
Rewards: 13.4% base APY + 5x Cap points
Additional notes:
The project’s first points program is confirmed to last for a maximum of 5 months (so the TGE will probably happen in Q1 2026)
I like farming this one as Cap built a stablecoin with a unique architecture, and the tokens of new primitives typically have a higher FDV at the TGE due to the speculative premium
If you prefer to earn 20X Cap points instead of 5x Cap points, you can provide liquidity to the cUSD pool on Pendle, but you’ll earn a lower base APY
RateX
RateX is the first leveraged yield exchange on Solana.
You can think of it as Pendle of Solana.
My strategy: I bought hyUSD on Jupiter and deposited it on RateX’s “Earn” section
Rewards: 18.893% fixed APY on hyUSD stablecoin (you’re basically exchanging Hylo points for a fixed yield) + 3x RateX points
Additional notes:
The TGE date of RateX is unknown, but 18.893% fixed APY + airdrop points on a stablecoin seems to me a pretty good opportunity
RateX is currently the biggest yield trading DEX on Solana
You can use RateX to provide liquidity or earn a fixed yield on other assets like SOL, JTO, and JLP, as well (besides stablecoins)
👉Here’s an invite link to RateX.
Resolv
Resolv is an innovative delta-neutral stablecoin protocol with a dual tranche model.
I’ve been using it for a long time, as its RLP delta-neutral token has been generating a yield that is significantly higher than Ethena’s sUSDe yield.
My strategy: I bought RLP on Resolv and provided it as liquidity to the RLP pool on Pendle
Rewards: 11% base APY + 30x Resolv points
Additional notes:
Resolv Season 3 airdrop ends on Dec. 9, with 3% of the RESOLV token supply being allocated to it
Resolv’s RLP 1-year APR is 17.61%, which is very hard to beat, making this a good strategy even without considering the future RESOLV airdrop
RLP gets such a high APR because it’s exposed to the risks of Resolv’s delta-neutral strategy, but I think the risks of a big loss are quite low
👉Here’s an invite link to Resolv.
Aegis
Aegis is a stablecoin protocol generating yield via BTC funding rate arbitrage.
My strategy: I provided YUSD as liquidity to Aegis’s sYUSD pool on Pendle (you can buy YUSD on Aegis website)
Rewards: 13.79% base APY + 5x Aegis points
Additional notes:
One thing I love about Aegis is that a fixed 0.3% of the Aegis token supply is distributed per week to users (which means the earlier you are, the bigger the airdrop you’ll get as an increase in TVL won’t dilute you)
The TGE is estimated to happen in late Q4
You can see your wallet’s estimated airdrop allocation on Aegis’s Points page
👉Here’s an invite link to Aegis.
Axiom
Axiom is a trading platform that allows you to buy Solana memecoins. (basically a Pump Fun competitor)
It’s an insanely profitable app. A few times, it even surpassed Hyperliquid in daily revenue, which makes me think its token will have a high FDV.
What’s even crazier is that it hit $100M in revenue in just 5 months!
My strategy: I’m not really into memecoins, so I don’t use Axiom very often, but I still try to generate trading volume using it from time to time. But if you’re a Solana memecoin trader, I highly recommend using Axiom
Rewards: Axiom points
Additional notes:
The TGE date is unknown, but given that it has a points program, I think an airdrop is inevitable at some point
In terms of UX, Axiom is much better than Pump Fun in my opinion
You need to claim your Axiom XP points manually on the “Rewards” tab
👉Here’s an invite link to Axiom for a 10% trading fee discount.
Loopscale
Loopscale is a modular, orderbook–based lending protocol on Solana.
What’s interesting about it is that it’s backed by a lot of tier-1 VCs such as Solana Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, and Jump Crypto.
My Strategy: The easiest way to farm it is to just provide USDC/SOL as liquidity to its USDC Genesis vault or SOL Genesis vault.
Loopscale also has a “Loop” feature that enables accessing leveraged yield strategies in 1 click. Those can be very profitable, but they require active management, as you might lose money if the interest rates surge a lot.
Rewards: 11% APR for lending USDC / 8.22% APR for lending SOL + Loopscale points
Additional notes:
It has not been announced yet when its TGE will happen
An interesting thing about Loopscale is that it enables borrowing with a fixed borrowing rate for a certain time period you manually choose
Loopscale also accepts fixed yield tokens from RateX as collateral (which are similar to Pendle PTs), which enable some interesting yield opportunities
👉Here’s an invite link to Loopscale.
Altitude
Altitude is a DeFi borrowing aggregator for crypto loans.
If you borrow using Altitude, it will check the borrowing rates across blue-chip money markets such as Aave & Compound, and use the one with the best terms for your loan.
On top of that, it will also actively manage your idle capital to generate yield.
My strategy: I borrowed USDC against cbBTC collateral
Rewards: 0% borrowing cost on your loan + 10.6% APR on your cbBTC primarily in the form of future token incentives (assuming ALTI token will trade at a $70m FDV )
Additional notes:
Altitude TGE will probably happen at some point in Q4
If you hold blue-chip tokens such as cbBTC or wstETH and want to borrow against them, using Altitude seems a good idea as the protocol will look for a top money market with the best terms for your loan
Hylo
Hylo is a yield-bearing stablecoin protocol native to Solana.
Hylo achieves a delta-neutral position for its collateral via a dual-token system, which consists of hyUSD, its native stablecoin, and xSOL, a leveraged SOL token.
The way it works is unique: hyUSD is backed by SOL LSTs, and xSOL acts as a volatility shield that absorbs SOL price movements to maintain the peg of hyUSD.
My strategy: I bought xSOL using a small part of my SOL holdings on Hylo.
xSOL provides amplified exposure to SOL price (2-4x leveraged exposure without liquidation risks). If you’re bullish on SOL, you can buy xSOL for better returns when it goes up, but I don’t recommend buying a very high amount as it’s highly volatile.
Rewards: 20x Hylo points (the highest points boost available)
Additional notes:
The protocol raised $1.5M in funding, and Solana Ventures is backing it
There’s a 1% fee for minting/redeeming xSOL (but besides this, there is no other interest rate you need to pay and no liquidation risk)
If you don’t want to get exposure to xSOL, you can farm Hylo by purchasing hyUSD and staking it on Hylo for 16% APR + 1x Hylo points
👉Here’s an invite link to Hylo.
Liminal
Liminal automates delta-neutral strategies on Hyperliquid to generate yield.
It’s one of the hottest dApps in the HyperEVM L1 ecosystem, and using it, you can earn yield from funding rate arbitrage in just a few clicks.
My strategy: I deposited some USDC on its app, which Liminal uses to open delta-neutral positions for assets like HYPE, ETH, SOL, and BTC
Rewards: 10% base APR (based on the 30d performance) + a potential Liminal airdrop
Additional notes:
Liminal TGE timeline is unknown
If you select “Pro” on Liminal, you can customize Liminal’s funding rate arbitrage strategy for your capital and pick what assets you want Liminal to use for its delta-neutral strategies
By using Liminal, you might also get exposure to Unit airdrop (Unit is Hyperliquid’s tokenization layer), as Liminal uses Unit for its strategies
👉Here’s an invite link to Liminal.
Rumpel
Rumpel is a points tokenization protocol.
By depositing your LP tokens into the wallet that Rumpel creates for you automatically, you’ll be able to sell the points you get as tokens at any point.
Or if you want exposure to a certain airdrop, you can use the protocol to buy points.
My strategy: Provide USDT as liquidity to the Hyperbeat USDT vault on HyperEVM to get hbUSDT, and deposit that hbUSDT on Rumpel.
Rewards: You’ll earn 9.73% base APY + 8 types of HyperEVM ecosystem points that you normally earn from Hyperbeat + Rumpel points
And if you ever wish to sell the points you accumulated since you started using Rumpel, you can go to the “Mint” page, click on “Mint” to mint the points, and go to “Trade” to find a DEX where you can sell.
Additional notes:
The TGE timeline for Rumpel is unknown
There are dozens of airdrop farming strategies supported on Rumpel on both Ethereum L1 and HyperEVM
You can bridge USDT to HyperEVM with thehyperliquidbridge.xyz (a bridge which is powered by LayerZero)
👉Here’s an invite link to Rumpel.
DeFi App (+Hyperliquid)
DeFi App is a user-friendly crypto everything app.
With it, you can easily do cross-chain swaps and trade perps with a CEX-like UX.
My strategy: I mostly trade perps and swap from time to time using it
Rewards: DeFi App XP Points + Hyperliquid Points (if there’ll be a 2nd HYPE airdrop)
Additional notes:
What I like is that its perps product is built on Hyperliquid, so by using it, you could farm the next HYPE airdrop while also earning DeFi App points
10% of DeFi App’s HOME token supply is allocated to its next airdrop
The next HOME airdrop will likely happen in late Q4 or early Q1 ‘26
👉Here’s an invite link to DeFi App.
Neutral Trade
Neutral Trade is presented as a Solana on-chain hedge fund.
It has a lot of vaults that generate yield for their depositors in a wide range of strategies, including liquidity provision and delta-neutral strategies.
My strategy: I deposited some USDC in its Neutralized JLP vault and its Hyperliquid Funding Arb vault
Rewards: 10%+ APR (which varies based on what vault you choose) + Neutral points
Additional notes:
Neutral Trade’s TGE timeline is unknown, but the protocol has already been live for over a year
For stablecoins, Neutral Trade is offering some of the highest yields you can find on Solana at this moment
👉Here’s a link to Neutral Trade.
Multipli
Multipli is a DeFi protocol that generates yield through arbitrage strategies.
My strategy: I deposited BTC on Multipli
Rewards: 4.82% APY on BTC + Multipli ORB points
Additional notes:
You can also deposit USDT or USDC, but personally I prefer to deposit BTC as there aren’t many other good yield opportunities for BTC
A milestone of $300M TVL needs to be hit before the TGE according to the team, and the current TVL is $79M (so it might take a long time until the TGE takes place)
Multipli raised $21.5M in total funding from top VCs such as Pantera Capital and The Spartan Group
👉Here’s an invite link to Multipli.
Legion
Legion is a crypto fundraising platform.
Investing in pre-token sales or ICOs is generally highly risky, but if you wanna do it, Legion allows you to easily invest in projects before the TGE.
I didn’t initially think that it would ever do an airdrop, but the Legion team has recently raised $5M in funding. So it’s highly probable it will have a token.
My strategy: Create an account, complete KYC, link socials, your Github account (if you’re a dev), and your wallets to generate your Legion score, and join token sales.
Rewards: A potential Legion airdrop (although it’s not confirmed yet)
Additional notes:
My advice is to participate in ICOs only if you see a project you truly believe in (don’t do it just to farm Legion airdrop as it won’t be worth it)
Many well-known projects such as Resolv, Fragmetric, and Fuel, raised money via Legion
👉Here’s an invite link to Legion.
Turtle Club
Turtle Club is a liquidity distribution protocol.
The protocol basically partners with many DeFi projects and promotes their incentive programs in exchange for boosted rewards for its users.
This one is extremely easy to farm.
My strategy: Go to Turtle Club and sign up for it with all your on-chain wallets.
Why do I suggest doing that? By signing up for Turtle Club, you’ll automatically get boosted rewards when you interact with one of its partners. This includes Euler Finance, Lombard, Veda, Solv, and many other well-known protocols.
For instance, if you sign up to Turtle Club and then use Euler Finance, you’ll receive a 15% boost on your rEUL rewards from Euler Finance.
Rewards: Boosted rewards when using Turtle partners + potential Turtle airdrop
Additional notes:
Turtle confirmed the launch of $TURTLE, but the TGE timeline is unknown
You can go to the “Deals” page to see all the projects that partnered with Turtle and their points/token reward boosts
👉Here’s an invite link to Turtle.
InfiniFi
InfiniFi is a DeFi protocol built on top of Ethena with $116M in TVL.
It is a fractional reserve stablecoin protocol that allows you to lock your stablecoins for a certain period in exchange for a higher return.
The protocol earns yield using Ethena assets such as USDe, sUSDe, and PT-sUSDe.
My strategy: Go to the Lock page on InfiniFi and deposit your USDC with a 1-week lock (you can choose a higher time lock if you’re comfortable with that).
The 1-week lock means that you’ll get your USDC back in one week after you ask for a withdrawal.
Rewards: 13.46% APY + 1x InfiniFi points + 5x Ethena Sats
If you choose an 8-week lock, you can get an even higher APY: 14.99%.
Additional notes:
InfiniFi TGE is expected in December or early Q1 ‘26
The project raised $3M from VCs
You can earn points multipliers via actions such as “hold vePendle” or supply $250+ USDC on Morpho (check “Bonus Bytes” on the “Points” InfiniFi page)
👉Here’s an invite link to InfiniFi.
Wallchain Quacks
Wallchain is an InfoFi platform similar to Kaito.
My strategy: Sign up to Wallchain with your X account.
If you’re active on X, this seems like a no-brainer move as it will take you just a few seconds, and it might qualify you for a future airdrop.
Additional notes:
Wallchain TGE date is not known
You can see your rank on Wallchain on the Quacks Leaderboard
👉Here’s an invite link to Wallchain.
Fantasy Top
Fantasy Top is a popular crypto consumer app.
A while ago, its team released Clout - An InfoFi leaderboard that is also similar to Kaito’s yap leaderboard.
My strategy: Sign up to Fantasy Top Clout with your X account
If you create content or are simply active on X via posting comments, this is another airdrop that you can farm with zero effort.
Additional notes:
The token release timeline is unknown, but the project is likely to have a token since it raised funds from VCs in 2024
👉Here’s an invite link to Fantasy Clout.
Unitas
Unitas is a stablecoin protocol on Solana that generates yield via a JLP delta-neutral arbitrage strategy.
It went live just a short time ago, so I don’t recommend depositing a large amount of capital into it. But given that it raised $3M in funding, it’s probably here to stay.
My strategy: I bought USDu from its website and staked it for sUSDu
sUSDu has a 30-day APY of 19.52% at the time of writing, which is a huge APY for stables if they manage to maintain it.
Additional notes:
Unitas TGE is rumored to happen in early Q1 next year
The protocol has just surpassed $10M TVL, and it’s backed by Amber Group
sUSDu has a 7-day withdrawal period (just like Ethena sUSDe)
👉Here’s an invite link to Unitas.
That’s it. I’m personally farming all these airdrops with my capital.
This article took me a lot of hours to put together, but I hope you like it!
I tried to find and cover all the important details about each opportunity.
If there are any other interesting airdrops you’re farming, let me know in the comments, as I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities.
Cheers🥂
