[April 2025 Guide— List Updated Regularly 30/04]

Pepe parachute landing with many others!
Doing this for Pepe!

I gave up on trading. I gave up on trying to play the market.

I wanted something long-term, sustainable, and ideally, something where the odds were a little more in my favor. That’s when I started paying attention to the airdrop stories — people making life-changing money simply by being early and consistent. Projects like Pi, Arbitrum, and Optimism rewarding users not for throwing money around, but for being early adopters and participants.

I’ve searched the Internet to find the best airdrop opportunities to join today, in April 2025. I will update the list anytime something promising crops up and post daily updates & tweets on the telegram chat linked below. If you require any assistance on getting started, there are plenty of guides out there!

The Game Plan

It became obvious: if I wanted to win, I needed to get organized.

So I created a spreadsheet to track every project I was interacting with — what they required, when they launched, and what I had completed. I also set up a Telegram channel to follow updates from key projects and ecosystem contributors. Information is everything, and in the world of airdrops, being prepared is often more important than being lucky.

For many of these free airdrops, you’ll need a MetaMask wallet, Telegram, Discord, and a Twitter account. Since they’re free, we pay with social credit — likes, follows, retweets, and some time spent being active.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the most promising airdrops I’m positioning myself for — with the goal of making $10,000 over the next few years.

🛰️ Entity Finance — Cross-Chain Growth Engine

Entity Finance is a cross-chain growth engine designed to unify and enhance the Web3 ecosystem. It offers solutions like the Entity Launchpad, Bridge Aggregator, and Cross-Chain Swap to facilitate seamless interactions across various blockchain networks. Entity is conducting a substantial airdrop campaign, dubbed the “Space Race,” with over $1 million in rewards, including a Starlink kit giveaway. The campaign gamifies participation, encouraging users to complete tasks and rise through the ranks to earn $ENT tokens. If you want to learn about web3 you are welcome to do the missions, but you can also find the answers online such as BCAB, DCAA, BAAB.

🧠 Sahara AI — Decentralized AI Infrastructure

Sahara AI is building a decentralized AI platform that combines blockchain technology with artificial intelligence. It offers tools for app development, model training, and a marketplace for AI assets. With $43 million in funding from investors like Binance and Polychain Capital, Sahara AI is a significant player in the AI-blockchain space. Participating in their campaigns could position you for future rewards as the platform grows.​ Do the daily tasks but also join their waitlist to maximise possible future earnings!

⚙️ Parasail — Trustless Protocol for DePIN

Parasail is the first restaking protocol that provides on-chain economic endorsement for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). It connects established assets with DePIN service proofs to build trust and drive adoption. Parasail’s Season 0 airdrop offered over $30,000 in rewards, with participants earning points through various activities. Engaging early with Parasail could lead to significant benefits as the protocol expands.

To participate, you can simply do a daily checkin but it may be worth delegating some funds to maximise earnings! I delegated $10 of Filecoin as its a safe bet with some yield potential. Buy your filecoin on a CEX and withdraw it to your metamask, then add the Filecoin Mainnet to your wallet — your wallet address will be the same as your ethereum address!

📊 Centic — Web3 Customer Data Platform

Centic is a data analytics center that integrates on-chain and off-chain information to decode Web3 transactions. It provides insights and customer data platform (CDP) solutions for Web3 entities. Centic has launched various tasks for participants to complete and earn Centic Points (CTP), which could lead to potential future rewards. Engaging with the platform now may position you for benefits as it grows.

🤖 Kite AI

Kite AI is an AI-focused Layer 1 blockchain built on Avalanche, designed to foster decentralized collaboration among AI models, data providers, and developers. Its unique Proof of Attributed Intelligence (PoAI) consensus mechanism ensures fair attribution and rewards for contributions across the AI value chain. Participating in Kite AI’s incentivized testnet, named “Aero,” allows users to earn XP by completing various tasks. These tasks include connecting your wallet, engaging with social media platforms, interacting with AI agents like Professor, Sherlock, and Crypto Buddy, and referring friends. Each activity contributes to your XP, which may influence future token distributions.

Kite AI’s roadmap includes several phases beyond Aero, such as Ozone, Strato, Voyager, and the final mainnet launch, Lunar. Engaging early positions you well for potential future rewards.​

🤖 OptimAI

OptimAI is a decentralized AI network that leverages a Layer 2 blockchain and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) technology to crowdsource data for training AI models. By participating in their airdrop campaign, users can earn points through various activities, which may translate into future token rewards.​ Engaging early with OptimAI positions you to benefit from their innovative approach to decentralized AI development. The tasks are straightforward, and the potential for future rewards makes it a worthwhile endeavor for those interested in the AI and blockchain intersection.​

📱 Xenea Wallet

Xenea is a mobile wallet built on Starknet that uses daily quizzes to engage users. After installing the app, I started completing quick daily questions to earn points. It’s completely free to use and doesn’t require any upfront crypto. With Starknet’s ecosystem still early, I see this as a simple, low-effort way to potentially qualify for future airdrops. If you have any issues stating “No Internet Connection” when trying to track tasks, try using a VPN and waiting 10–30 seconds — this did the trick for me!

🎲 SoSoValue

  • Referral: https://sosovalue.com/join/FTXP2YNK
  • Investment: None, but can boost earnings with $100
  • Requirements: Register on the platform and complete the daily tasks
  • Difficulty: Easy

SoSoValue is a platform focused on engaging users through a series of tasks and actions across various crypto ecosystems. After signing up, I completed tasks like interacting with the platform’s features and learning about their index funds. It’s free to join, and although the tasks can take a little more time compared to others, they seem to have a rewarding payout structure for those who stay active. With the growth of their ecosystem, I’m optimistic about the potential for an airdrop in the future. Check out this tweet about last season’s airdrop!

🏙 Plaza Finance

Plaza Finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that focuses on liquidity provision and staking across various chains. To participate you must deposit some base network eth (I did $5) and keep over $1 in your wallet to claim Base Sepolia Eth from the faucet, you will use this to do simulate transactions daily which will earn you plaza points. As you receive an airdrop of testnet tokens, you can simply get started with very low capital. With Plaza’s growing ecosystem, this could be a solid move for those looking to qualify for potential future airdrops.

Update 28/04/2025: Today Plaza Finance Mainnet (S2) went live and the points structure has now changed. They offer liquidation-free leveraged eth positions, bond eth positions and liquidity opportunities for earnings points now. I’ve upped my stake to $50 to keep earning points, as I believe the project will take off in the future, but I’m not going to put my whole bag in as we want to spread our bags.

🏙 Ethereal

Ethereal is a next-generation decentralized exchange (DEX) offering both spot and perpetuals trading, built on the Ethena Network and utilizing USDe as its native collateral. The platform boasts institutional-grade performance with sub-20ms latency and the capacity to process over 1 million orders per second. We are currently super early as the project is at Season Zero, users can participate by depositing USDe into the pre-deposit contract. Upon depositing, you’ll receive eUSDe, a 1:1 redeemable receipt token representing your pre-deposit Points are accrued linearly based on the amount and duration of your deposit, and you can withdraw your USDe at any time without losing the points you’ve already earned .​ Additionally, participants benefit from a 30x Ethena Rewards multiplier, enhancing potential future rewards. That’s right you will earn an Ethena airdrop on top of this airdrop! Ethena is currently in Season 4 but still doing airdrops, so if your interested in buying ENA tokens — you can check that out here.

How to get started:
- Get some USDT on Eth network.
- Visit app.ethena.fi/join/huk6y to swap it into USDe on Eth Network. (We may aswell maximise our interaction with the Ethena network!)
- Now we have USDe, visit https://deposit.ethereal.trade/points?ref=IYWBV8 and login. Pre-deposit and just leave the account as it is. Join the telegram channel or follow their twitter page for updates about TGE and rewards.

I thought it would be smart move to deposit eUSDe into the Pendle LP pool, but it reduces your eUSDe stake. So you could split it to also earn a 50x multiplier on Ethena too — do as you wish. Please note, it may take an hour or two for the Pendle rewards to update on your Ethena dashboard, so don’t panic like I did!

☁️ CESS Network

CESS (Cumulus Encrypted Storage System) is a decentralized storage and content delivery network (CDN) tailored for Web3 applications. This is big and I’m super bullish on this airdrop! There are daily tasks to complete such as checking in, uploading files and tweeting. As CESS is built on the Substrate framework, it offers secure, scalable, and efficient data solutions, making it ideal for AI, DeSci, and digital industries.

🏗️ Arch Network

Arch Network is a bridgeless execution platform that brings smart contract capabilities directly to Bitcoin’s base layer. Utilizing innovative technologies like FROST + ROAST multisigs and a custom virtual machine, it enables secure, trust-minimized DeFi applications without the need for bridges. Users can participate in the Archstronaut XP campaign by connecting their Bitcoin wallet, completing missions, and referring friends to earn points towards potential future rewards.

I recommend downloading UniSat Wallet for this one. I found some of the tasks are buggy due to the new nature of this project, but we are here to help the team sort this out! I will update the article if anything difficult arises.

🧿 Soul Protocol

Soul Protocol is a decentralized cross-chain lending platform built on LayerZero, enabling users to supply and borrow native assets across multiple blockchains without relying on synthetic assets or bridges. By aggregating liquidity from various lending protocols like Aave and Compound, Soul offers a unified interface for seamless DeFi interactions. Engaging with their testnet involves connecting your wallet and performing actions such as supplying assets, borrowing, and repaying loans. Active participation in the testnet positions users for potential future airdrops as the protocol progresses towards mainnet launch.

The goal of the airdrop is to collect the maximum number of seeds to exchange for $SO on TGE.

Short guide for getting started:

  1. Get some sepolia Eth, you can see how in step 2 of this article. Also use the telegram chatbots from the article to get some Avalanche Fuji AVAX.
  2. Join Soul Protocol and connect your wallet.
  3. Click Supply [top left]. Supply some sepolia Eth.
  4. After successfully supplying, notice beside the withdraw button, there is a Collateral button. Provide maximum collateral.
  5. Now click Borrow [top left]. Borrow an asset on AvaX (that’s why we used the telegram chatbot — to get some gas fees).
  6. Congratulations you’ve successfully done a cross-chain borrow on sepolia-avaX testnets!
  7. Now at the top, click the Seeds button — you can begin completing quests now! They are pretty straightforward, I will update if anything difficult crops up!

🤖 Bytenova

Bytenova recentyly received $3M funding from Nvidia and has raised almost $10M in funding altogether. They aim to create a decentralised GPU cloud from users devices. At this early stage, they are looking to grow their social media and have an easy onboarding process we can check into daily! Be cautious, you will need to have some BNB in your wallet to do this! While specific details about potential rewards are not provided, early adoption and consistent use may lead to future benefits.

Grass is a decentralized network that allows users to monetize their unused internet bandwidth. Although they’ve already done their first airdrop, it’s not too late to join. Their desktop app is lightweight and doesn’t break your laptop — which is a bonus. Participation is rewarded through Grass Points, which can be converted into GRASS tokens. The project operates on the Solana blockchain, leveraging its speed and scalability. Grass has garnered significant attention, with over 3 million users participating and a successful airdrop distributing 10% of its total token supply.

The extension is lightweight and doesn’t require any investment, making it accessible to anyone looking to get involved. With its growing presence, Gradient Network could offer rewarding airdrop opportunities for active users.

🧊 Hyperspace

  • Referral: https://node.hyper.space/
  • Investment: None
  • Requirements: Install the Chrome extension and engage with the network
  • Difficulty: Easy

Hyperspace is hardware GPU sharing platform for AI models to run. However, I couldn’t get it working properly and wasn’t a fan. It seemed a lot more resource intensive than the other chrome extensions.

Waitlist opportunities

🌙 Moonberg

Moonberg is a decentralized platform that encourages users to participate in various activities to earn rewards. It is currently on the waitlist stage but could be worth joining now.

🌌 Infinifi

Infinifi is a decentralized platform aimed at expanding the user experience in Web3. Currently at waitlist stage so could be good to join now!

More Airdrops

🌌 Galxe

Galxe has already been a launchpad for airdrops from big names — so staying active here is a must for anyone looking to score future rewards.

🧾 Lessons Learned

  • Consistency beats size: You don’t need to move thousands. You just need to show up early and interact meaningfully.
  • Track everything: My spreadsheet became my second brain. It helped me remember where I was active and what I still needed to complete.
  • Join the community: Telegram, Discord, and Twitter alpha groups have been goldmines for early info.
  • Think long-term: Many airdrops take months or years. If you’re only here for a quick flip, this strategy may test your patience.

Final Thoughts

Airdrops are no longer random giveaways. They’ve evolved into complex reward systems designed to incentivize genuine participation. With the right approach, organization, and a bit of foresight, they can become a serious income stream.

This is how I turned my crypto journey around — not by outsmarting the market, but by showing up early, staying informed, and doing the work. If you’re burnt out from trading or just looking for a better way to engage in the space, start tracking airdrops. Your future self might thank you.
