Extended has distributed 69,235,805 points against a ceiling of 70 million, which leaves room for one or two more weekly drops. Arcus opened a new points season on 1 October. Variational put a quarter and a number on its token. This list ranks the airdrops worth farming right now by what each team has committed to and what it costs you to qualify.
Every entry is farmable today. Each one says whether the token is confirmed or still speculative, what the points program measures and where the cost sits. Where a program has a deadline or a cap in sight, the date is in the entry.
Points are not tokens, and almost every program below says exactly that in its own documentation. A confirmed allocation with no published formula is still a guess about your share, just a better informed one.
Extended, the one with a visible finish line
SPECULATIVE on conversion, confirmed on intent.
Extended has said its current plan is to give 30% of the future EXT supply to its early community, meaning points holders. It has also said the final number of points after slashing will not exceed 70 million. The conversion rate, the eligibility rules and the claim process are unpublished, and the docs say points create no entitlement to tokens.
Extended’s docs listed 69,235,805 points distributed as of 6 October 2026. Distributions run weekly and never above 600,000 points, so the program is close to full.
Points linked to wash trading, self-referrals and multi-account abuse get removed, and Extended has said slashing comes before TGE. What counts is what survives it.
There is no TGE date and no claim. Extended has said any token claim will be announced on its official X account, so treat every EXT claim link you see before then as hostile.
Cost to farm: medium, and the window is closing.
Variational, a TGE window and a published split
Confirmed on allocation, speculative on the exact date.
Variational has set the VAR TGE for Q4 2026, later than the Q3 window it pointed to before. Its published split gives 32% of total supply to the genesis airdrop, the largest committed share on this list.
Weekly points continue until TGE, reported at 150,000 points a week. Our guide lists two requirements for the genesis airdrop: at least 1 point and a signed Terms of Service.
Omni opened as a private beta behind access codes, so check the guide for the current way in before you plan around it.
Cost to farm: medium.
Arcus, a new season that just started
SPECULATIVE on size, confirmed on existence.
dYdX Labs has confirmed that Arcus will launch its own token, separate from DYDX, with an allocation for people who traded, staked or validated on dYdX. How points convert to tokens is unpublished.
Arcus Points started on 1 October 2026. Season 0 covered the private beta from 1 July to 30 September and has already been distributed, with totals hidden for now. Season 1 drops points every Wednesday and is set to end no later than the end of H1 2027.
Our guide and several trackers report a fixed pool of 250,000 points a week, but Arcus’s own launch post described allocations ramping up over the season, so check the current number in the app before you size a position.
Points reward trading, market making, deposits kept on the venue and referrals. Stock token trades and trades outside US market hours currently earn a boost, and boosts can change. Perps access moved to invite codes on 1 October.
Cost to farm: low to medium. Deposits count, not only volume.
N1, a fixed season total you can do math on
SPECULATIVE. No token or TGE confirmed.
N1 has not confirmed a token, so whether these points convert is still open. The program itself is running and its size is published.
N1’s docs set Season 1 at a fixed 1,987,000,000 N1 Points: 26 live weeks at 75,000,000 points each, plus 37,000,000 across two retroactive weeks. Boosts change how a weekly pool is split, never its size. The first live week began on 10 August 2026.
The same docs say Season 1 is still being finalized and that eligibility rules, boost parameters and dates may change. There is no public leaderboard. You see your own balance, and everyone else sees only your Level and Momentum.
Cost to farm: medium, through trading volume.
Lighter, a fixed LIT pool with a caveat
The $LIT airdrop already happened. It distributed automatically on 30 December 2025, covering 25% of fully diluted supply across two 2025 points seasons, with no claim required.
What is live now is a different program. Lighter committed 11 million LIT to the Robinhood community, and points earned on perp trades convert into LIT from that pool, subject to Lighter’s terms. Trades through Robinhood Wallet earn 2x points and trades on Lighter’s web app earn 1x.
The program took effect on 10 August 2026 and points are calculated weekly. Lighter notes the method may change.
That makes it the most concrete payout on this list: a known token in a known amount. Your share of it is the open part.
If you see Lighter on a “best airdrops” list with no qualifier, the writer has confused a finished airdrop with a running points program.
Cost to farm: capital and trading volume.
RISEx, weekly points with weightings nobody publishes
SPECULATIVE. No token announced.
RISEx has not announced a token. Its docs say 100% of RISE Points go to RISEx users: traders, LPs and builder-code integrators.
Season 1: Ignite started on 20 July 2026 and is expected to end no later than Q2 2027. Each weekly distribution splits 200,000 points by your share of qualifying activity: maker and taker volume, fees paid, slippage, open interest and how long you hold positions. Referrals add 10% of each referee’s points.
The weightings change every week and are never published. That is deliberate, and it makes wash trading an unreliable strategy.
Cost to farm: medium. Weekly consistency matters more than size here.
BULK, confirmed 30% and an invite wall
SPECULATIVE on formula, confirmed on allocation.
BULK’s co-founder confirmed on X that 30% of supply goes to users through the airdrop. Eligibility criteria, a snapshot date and a points-to-token formula are all unpublished.
Mainnet launched on 5 September 2026 and closed the pre-deposit campaign. Access is invite-only: you need an access code from an existing user, or a wallet that took part in the pre-deposit. Staking SOL through BULK also feeds its points system.
Cost to farm: high friction. If you missed the pre-deposit, someone has to let you in.
Axis Robotics, a task farm rather than a trading farm
SPECULATIVE. Points carry no claim right.
Axis has not confirmed a token. Its docs say Points will be one input into a planned Community Contributor Airdrop, with eligibility, allocation and timing published before any claim event.
This one costs no capital. Five factors set your total: how many valid tasks you complete, their difficulty tier, the quality score of each submission, how widely your tasks spread across scenarios and skills, and the output of contributors you invite.
Points settle in two-week epochs. Each closes Friday at 00:00 UTC and points land the following Monday at 12:00 UTC. Totals never reset or expire, and only submissions signed on-chain count.
Tier minimums are published: 100 trajectories for X Axis, 300 for Y Axis and 600 for Z Axis, with your invitees’ trajectories counting toward yours. Hitting the number does not guarantee the role.
Cost to farm: time only.
Polymarket, the token question still open
SPECULATIVE on everything except intent.
Polymarket’s CMO Matthew Modabber said it on the Degenz Live podcast: “There will be a token, there will be an airdrop.” Polymarket’s own help center says something narrower: it “has not announced plans for any airdrop or token generation event”, and it warns about fake airdrop pages.
At TOKEN2049 on 7 October 2026, CEO Shayne Coplan said Polymarket is exploring an onchain asset with “real programmable utility” tied to its economy, as Crypto Briefing reported, but he did not launch a token.
What pays today is Polymarket Perps, where makers who quote on Perps markets share $75,000 a day in liquidity rewards, paid in pUSD. Polymarket.com is not open to US residents.
Cost to farm: whatever you were going to trade anyway.
Hyperliquid Season 2, the quiet one
SPECULATIVE. No Season 2 announced.
Hyperliquid has never telegraphed snapshot timing, and its docs list no points phase after November 2024. The Hyper Foundation reserves 38.888% of HYPE supply for future emissions and community rewards, and it has not said how or when those tokens will be distributed.
HyperEVM launched on 18 February 2025 and stays less crowded than the main DEX, where most farmers still trade.
Cost to farm: trading volume, or building on HyperEVM.
What we left off, and why
Nado was on this list last month. Our guide’s latest update dates from late August, and the window an Ink advisor gave in an interview for the INK airdrop, July to September 2026, has passed without a launch. We will rank it again once we recheck the page.
Entropy raised $14 million led by Ribbit Capital, announced 24 August 2026, and runs HIP-3 perp markets on Hyperliquid. It has no points program and no announced airdrop, and its page carries MiCA restrictions for EEA users. It is worth watching, but it is not a farm yet.
Pacifica and Ostium both run points programs, and Ostium’s Season 2 has a 25 million point cap. Both of our guides were last updated in July, so we are not ranking them until we recheck.
The risks that actually apply here
Rules move mid-season. Variational’s TGE slipped from Q3 to Q4, and Arcus’s weekly pool is described one way in its launch post and another way by trackers. Plan for the terms to change under you.
Sybil filtering is standard. Extended removes points for wash trading, self-referrals and multi-account abuse before TGE. Lighter eliminated self-trading and sybil activity across both of its seasons. Running multiple wallets is more likely to zero you than to multiply you.
Fake claims arrive before real ones. Extended has no claim, and Polymarket has no token. Any claim page for either one is hostile until the project’s own channels say otherwise.
Invite gates on Arcus perps and BULK mean your entry depends on someone else, and a code that works today may not work next week.
Polymarket.com is closed to US residents, so check where you can legally trade before you farm it.
The largest risk is the ordinary one: most programs here have confirmed neither a formula nor a date, and some will never ship a token at all.
TL;DR
- Extended: 30% planned for points holders, one or two weekly drops of room left under the 70 million cap
- Variational: 32% genesis airdrop, TGE set for Q4 2026, weekly points until then
- Arcus: confirmed token, Season 1 points since 1 October, ends by H1 2027 at the latest
- N1: no token yet, a fixed 1.987 billion point season at 75 million a week
- Lighter: $LIT already distributed, the live farm is an 11 million LIT pool for Robinhood trading
- RISEx: 200,000 points a week, weightings unpublished, season ends by Q2 2027
- BULK: confirmed 30%, mainnet live, invite-only entry
- Axis Robotics: free task farm, two-week epochs, published tier minimums
- Polymarket: token promised on a podcast, nothing launched at TOKEN2049
- Hyperliquid: no Season 2, 38.888% of HYPE still reserved for future rewards
NFA, DYOR. Points are not tokens and no program above guarantees a claim. Allocations quoted are what teams have stated publicly, not what anyone has received. Invite gates, regional restrictions and mid-season rule changes all apply. Farm with what you can afford to leave in place.
