Crypto Airdrops, verified daily since 2017

airdrops.io has aggregated and verified crypto airdrops since 2017. The list covers active airdrops across Ethereum, Solana and the major L2s, plus retroactive, testnet and speculative pre-TGE drops. Every project is checked by our team before it goes live and the list is updated daily. The site is free and needs no signup. Hot airdrops are ranked by community votes, so the top of the list shows what other farmers are actually doing.

What is a crypto airdrop?

A crypto airdrop is a free token distribution. Projects send tokens to early users and community members to spread ownership and build a user base around a new token.

How claiming works depends on the drop. Holder drops land in eligible wallets automatically. Most others are claimed on the project’s official claim page with a connected wallet. Eligibility usually comes down to a snapshot: a record of qualifying wallets taken at a specific block or date. When an airdrop uses a snapshot, only qualifying holdings or activity recorded before that cutoff normally count.

The main types you will find on this on our website:

• Retroactive drops: tokens for past usage of a live protocol
• Points and farming programs: tracked activity that can convert into a token allocation at TGE
• Testnet campaigns: rewards for testing a network before it goes live
• Holder drops: automatic distributions to wallets holding a specific token or NFT
• Speculative pre-TGE projects: no confirmed token yet, farmed on expectation

This model has a track record. Uniswap popularized retroactive DeFi airdrops in 2020 by sending at least 400 $UNI to every wallet that had used the protocol and Arbitrum, Optimism, dYdX, ENS, Jupiter, Jito, Celestia, Starknet, zkSync, Wormhole and Hyperliquid all followed with retroactive drops of their own. Hyperliquid put 31% of its token supply into community hands at launch.

One safety rule beats all others: no real airdrop ever asks for your seed phrase. Fake claim sites and wallet drainers are the most common scams around airdrops and they copy real project pages down to the pixel.

Why do projects give away free tokens?

An airdrop is a trade, not charity. Users get free tokens and the project gets things that are hard to buy with a marketing budget:

• Wide ownership: tokens spread across thousands of wallets instead of a handful of insiders, which also matters for governance and decentralization
• Real users: points and farming programs keep people active on a product for months before a token even exists
• Attention: a well-run drop reaches the whole market for less than paid ads would cost
• Stakeholders: people pay attention to what they own (the endowment effect), so recipients tend to stick around as community members

A community allocation at launch is simply expected by now. Projects that skip it usually hear about it.

How we verify listings

Every airdrop on this site is reviewed by our team before it gets published. We check who is behind a project and whether the claim links are official. Impersonations and drainer links get filtered out and nothing is listed without review. New free crypto airdrops go up daily and expired campaigns get closed. A project that turns bad after listing gets pulled. We would rather list fewer airdrops than send that many readers to a bad one.
