Six-Figure Target: The Top Airdrops to Watch in 2026

Twitter always says the best days of airdrops are gone, and 2025 was a tough year for airdrop studios, but not all is lost.
We've seen this cycle play out time and time again. Every year, people complain about bad airdrops, getting rugged, wasting time.
Yet somehow, there's always a small group of people making five to six figures every year, not just the influentials.
On-chain players are still making significant gains, like @sam6170 earning over $600,000 from Hyperlane S2.
Those involved in Lighter also made five to six figures, with some even hitting seven figures towards the end of 2025.
This game is tough, so you have to leverage all your advantages.
You can't win them all, so only put in what you can afford to lose, including your time, money, and energy.
Take out 80% of the profits, reinvest 20% or less (if necessary), and then continue to strengthen your edge.
If you want to play this game, you need an edge:
· Influence on X platform
· On-chain skills
· Adequate liquidity on
· Grinding on Discord
· Early and persistent enough
Whatever it is, know your strengths and double down.
New Year Airdrop Project List
Base: The BASE token has been confirmed. Wallets interacting early will be given priority, contributing on X and Base App, becoming an ecosystem builder for Base.
Hyperliquid S2: Just like CBB said, I believe in invisible points. I have a target trading volume in mind, while also focusing on being an active wallet on hyperEVM.
Hyperunit: This project is all about fee burning. Build spot market volume with Hyperunit assets on HL and deposit directly through their interface.
Conduit: An infrastructure similar to Caldera, so the playbook is the same, using its chain as much as possible, providing liquidity on some chains if possible, and mentioning them on X.
Jumper: Engage in cross-chain jumps, earn monthly XP, check @sam6170's pinned post for a guide.
Project X: Trade, provide liquidity, and earn points.
Humanoid: Robotek, cost $0. Complete tasks, earn points, and refer friends.
Nansen: Total wallet count is about 7000; I spent around $125 to get 2000+NXP points.
Abstract: I haven't taken this project seriously enough.
Ethgas: Cost $0, raised $12M. The protocol calculates the gas you spend on Ethereum and rewards you with points. Join here:
Espresso: Snapshot taken, checker out. Token Generation Event (TGE) should be in Q1 this year, a bit late now.
Datahive: DePIN project, seed round raised $3.5M, cost $0, register with your email.
Titan exchange: Seed round raised $7M, aggregator on Solana. Just pumping volume; my goal is $1M. By the way, it's on Solana, so fee-friendly.
Codex: Still early, an Ethereum stablecoin chain, founder previously worked at Optimism, completing their guild tasks.
Polymer labs: Just an interoperability infrastructure, raised $26 million. This project might require some on-chain skills and grinding on Discord, it's in my second-tier list.
Layerzero S2: The ultimate answer to interoperability, ZRO price still healthy. The S2 airdrop might still not happen this year, but it's definitely coming, keep burning those fees.
Sentient agi: Their Kaito social activities are still ongoing, despite their checker being out over 50 days ago. Token Generation Event (TGE) might happen in the first quarter of this year.
Soso Value S2: Cost $0, they are allocating $30 million for the second-quarter airdrop.
Ink chain: L2 chain built by Kraken, I did some of their on-chain tasks last year. It's in my third-tier list.
Orbt protocol: Another $0 cost potential airdrop, just connect your X account and wallet to earn ORB points.
Rabby Wallet: They are hinting at an upcoming token.
Kaito S2: This project might never happen, but I'm still crazy enough to have it on my list because I can earn points by being active on X.
Moonbirds: This is one of those random airdrops given to Web 3 users, I've already claimed about 5 bird badges in the past months. Token Generation Event (TGE) will occur in the first quarter of this year.
Pi Squared: Payment infrastructure, raised $12.5 million.
Bungee: Bungee has been around for a while, I occasionally use this interoperability project.
Fluent: Honestly, this project might eventually do a presale, their founder confirmed Fluent Mainnet will launch in the first quarter of this year.
Seismic: Privacy Infrastructure for FinTech, they have raised $17 million for their seed round. Get their Discord role or contribute on X.
Crypto is the Future
We've heard it, we've said it, and we believe it: Cryptocurrency is the future of finance.
But for some reason, it doesn't quite feel like it yet.
Don't just be one of those who only complain about airdrops, but strive to optimize and position yourself to be one of the few still making 5 to 6 figures by the end of the year.
