Welcome back. Here are our top 8 airdrop picks for 2026. Each one is a real opportunity to position yourself for free tokens by using protocols early. We've ordered them so you can start with the easiest ones first and work your way up. None of this is financial advice — do your own research.

TESTNET

Tempo

Tempo

Tempo is backed by Paradigm, one of crypto's biggest VCs. Several Paradigm portfolio companies — Uniswap, Optimism, Blast, friend.tech — have done massive airdrops. Tempo hasn't announced a token yet, but the playbook is familiar.

+ Go to the Tempo faucet and drip free testnet tokens to your wallet

+ Visit the Tempo ecosystem page and interact with apps on the testnet

+ This is completely free — it runs on testnet tokens, not real money

FREE TO JOIN

ETHGas

ETHGas

ETHGas runs a community rewards program where early users earn "Beans" for completing quests and referrals. They've hinted that larger balances could mean bigger future rewards.

+ Connect your X account at ethgas.com/community and link an EVM wallet

+ Follow @ETHGasOfficial on X

+ Generate a gas report and share it on X to earn more Beans

WAITLIST

Nado

Nado

Nado is tagged with "airdrop" on Ink's website, which means early users will earn INK airdrop points for activity. You can also interact with Tydro on Ink to start earning points immediately.

+ Sign up for the Nado waitlist with your EVM address, socials, and email

+ Supply or borrow assets on Tydro (Ink chain) to start earning INK points right now

+ The waitlist is free — Tydro lending requires some tokens on Ink

PREDICTION MARKET

Predict.fun

Predict.fun

Predict.fun gives out 10M points per week to users who place bets, hold open interest, and correctly predict outcomes. These points will likely convert to tokens at some point.

+ Connect your wallet at predict.fun on BNB network, deposit USDC or USDT

+ Place bets on markets — setting limit orders earns the most points

+ Generate $10 in volume to unlock referral codes — you earn 10% of your referrals' fees and points

BRIDGE

Bungee

Bungee

Bungee's Discord mentions that community contributors collecting "Jolts" can expect rewards beyond the in-Discord token — likely an airdrop. On-chain interactions should position you even better.

+ Go to bungee.exchange and connect your wallet

+ Bridge assets between chains — especially tokenless L2s for double airdrop potential

+ Pick route based on your cost and speed preference, then approve the transaction

MULTISIG

PolyPay

PolyPay

PolyPay has a quest and leaderboard system where you earn XPs — 100 for creating an account, 50 per transaction. Top users on the weekly leaderboard get rewards, and these points could lead to a future token airdrop.

+ Bridge ETH from Base to Horizen using the Caldera bridge

+ Create a multisig account on PolyPay with at least two signers (you can use two of your own wallets)

+ Fund the multisig and make a transfer — your first transaction unlocks 100 XP + 50 XP

DEX

Kumbaya

Kumbaya

Kumbaya is a DEX on MegaETH. Their site says a leaderboard is coming "soon," which usually signals a points program and a future airdrop. Get in early before the leaderboard goes live.

+ Bridge ETH from mainnet to MegaETH using the MegaETH bridge (can take up to 30 min)

+ Swap assets on Kumbaya, then provide liquidity to earn swap yields + position for an enhanced airdrop

+ Bonus: try the token launchpad — launching or buying tokens could boost airdrop eligibility

PERP DEX

Lighter

Lighter

Lighter ran a Season 1 points program that ended September 30, and Season 2 is coming. Users between seasons may qualify for retroactive points. An airdrop is likely given the points system.

+ Register at app.lighter.xyz using a referral code, then create and fund your account with USDC

+ Trade on Lighter — higher volume and leverage generate more points

+ Deposit liquidity to the Lighter Liquidity Provider (LLP) for additional points

+ Once you hit 100 points, invite others for referral bonus points
