Crypto Rewards & Airdrop Research 2026
Independent research on rewards programs, points mechanics and historical token distributions across perp DEXs, chains, DeFi protocols, apps and wallets. Points may never convert to tokens, and past distributions do not confirm future airdrops. Latest program review: 2026-08-11.
PerpFinder is not a token-access or eligibility service

Selected programs with the most reader interest. Placement is editorial, not paid, and each status is separated from any future token assumption.
The CEO confirmed a token in 2025, but as of 2026-07-06 there is no date, no snapshot, and no points program. Perps launched in beta on 2026-05-28 with a waitlist. Any eligibility criteria circulating are guesses.
The dYdX Foundation has confirmed an Arcus token with allocation reserved for the dYdX community, but no date or tokenomics. Tokenized-stock spot (95+ tickers, zero fees) opened 2026-07-01; perps remain in closed beta behind a referral-weighted waitlist. US, UK, and Canada are geoblocked.
Season 1 ended, and its distribution window closed. MetaMask says there are no concrete plans for another season. Check the Rewards tab for current campaigns; the calculator does not project a universal rate.
Ape Points Season 1 (October-December 2025) redeemed into APEX in January 2026; Season 2 was announced for late February 2026 tied to the ApeX Trading Chain, but its live mechanics and end date are unverified as of 2026-07-05. The legacy BANANA trade-to-earn program has lapsed.
Season 6 has been live since 2026-03-26, and airdrop trackers report it as the final season — Ethena itself has not confirmed that. Season 5 paid 2% of ENA supply, distributed March 2026.
SEA was confirmed in October 2025 with 50% of supply earmarked for the community, but the TGE slipped past its original Q1 2026 window and has not happened as of 2026-07-06. OpenSea calls the current XP wave the last one.
XP has run since January 2025 and PENGU holders earn a multiplier, but no token is announced after roughly 18 months of tracking. Treat any XP-to-token math as guesswork.
Points are live and the app posted $300M+ revenue in its first 263 days, but no token is announced as of 2026-07-06. High revenue does not obligate an airdrop — the team has committed to nothing.
Weekly 10M-point emissions have run continuously since September 2025 (raised from 500k/week that October) with no seasons, no token, and no announced conversion. Circulating "220M-token airdrop" figures are community speculation, not official.
Kraken has officially confirmed the INK token, and Kraken Pro trading has earned Ink points since 2026-04-06. Every launch date in circulation is community speculation, not Kraken guidance. Nado, the perp DEX on Ink, feeds the same token — see its entry.
DIME launched 2026-03-05 with a 25% genesis distribution. Season 3 XP (live since 2026-02-01) continues weekly, but no token conversion for Season 3 has been promised — treat "guaranteed second airdrop" statements as rumor.
Season 2 points closed 2026-06-30 ahead of the planned $GRVT TGE (targeted for shortly after close, Q3 2026). Tokenomics: 1B supply, 28% to the community at TGE with an 18% Season 2 share. Nothing has been distributed yet — unofficial "GRVT token access" sites are phishing.
Season 2 has emitted 800,000 kPoints weekly since 2025-11-13 and ends with a hard deadline: final snapshot 2026-09-29, distribution 2026-10-01. KNTQ went live 2025-11-27; Season 2 conversion terms are set at distribution, so treat allocation math as estimates until then.
Perp DEX programs
Documented rewards and historical distributions connected to perpetual futures DEXs.
Ape Points Season 1 (October-December 2025) redeemed into APEX in January 2026; Season 2 was announced for late February 2026 tied to the ApeX Trading Chain, but its live mechanics and end date are unverified as of 2026-07-05. The legacy BANANA trade-to-earn program has lapsed.
ATTX tokenomics were published in September 2025 (100M supply, 8% earmarked for an airdrop); the TGE remains TBA as of 2026-07-05. Points decay with inactivity (5% after 7 days, 50% after 28 days). Official domain is antarctic.exchange.
Surge concluded Season 15 on 2026-06-30 with no successor announced. dYdX Labs separately launched Arcus on Robinhood Chain 2026-07-01; the Foundation states dYdX Chain rewards, staking, and the buyback continue unchanged.
Jupiter postponed the 2026 Jupuary under its net-zero-emissions proposal. The official Jupiter Rewards Hub lists the separate Apr-Jun 2026 ASR period with 50M JUP and a distribution deadline of 2026-10-08. Perps trading does not create JUP reward or airdrop eligibility.
Season 2 has emitted 800,000 kPoints weekly since 2025-11-13 and ends with a hard deadline: final snapshot 2026-09-29, distribution 2026-10-01. KNTQ went live 2025-11-27; Season 2 conversion terms are set at distribution, so treat allocation math as estimates until then.
Points convert into INK, the Ink Foundation token, which has not launched (official guidance: Q3 2026 or later). Season 1 ("Open Beta", 2026-01-30 to 2026-05-21) distributed ~24.9M points; Season 2 opened 2026-05-21 without an invite gate. A circulating "30% of INK supply" airdrop figure is unconfirmed.
DIME launched 2026-03-05 with a 25% genesis distribution. Season 3 XP (live since 2026-02-01) continues weekly, but no token conversion for Season 3 has been promised — treat "guaranteed second airdrop" statements as rumor.
REYA tokenomics are published (8B supply, 45% to the community from TGE) and a CoinList sale ran November-December 2025 at $0.01875, but the token has NOT launched as of 2026-07-05 — CoinGecko lists it as a preview with zero circulating supply. Earlier "launched in 2025" statements confuse the presale with a TGE.
01 Points have accrued since the 01 mainnet launch in February 2026. No token or airdrop plan is disclosed — the program is framed as a participation metric that may qualify users for any future distribution.
Season 1 launched with mainnet on 2026-02-25 (Season 0 covered pre-deposits). Docs state Amps are a primary factor for future protocol-token distribution, naming DCBL, but no token is live — the "DCBL" token trading on Ethereum since 2018 is unrelated.
Season 1 has run since 2026-02-18 with no token announced. The Tether-backed CASH equity and commodity markets were wound down 2026-06-30 to 2026-07-02; the core app and XP program continue. Only dreamcash.xyz is official — unofficial "Dreamcash TGE" sites are phishing.
Live as an invite-gated Mainnet Alpha since 2025-10-20. Ethena governance approved (99%+) pledging 15% of any future Ethereal token to ENA/sENA holders — conditional on a token that does not yet exist, with no ticker or tokenomics. A separate USDe real-yield track is capped at 27.18% APR.
A points-based airdrop is expected but no ticker or tokenomics are official, and the original H1 2026 TGE window passed without a launch. The weekly cap tightened from the 2025-era ~1.2M points to 700k. eToro led a $12.5M equity round announced 2026-07-02.
Season 2 points closed 2026-06-30 ahead of the planned $GRVT TGE (targeted for shortly after close, Q3 2026). Tokenomics: 1B supply, 28% to the community at TGE with an 18% Season 2 share. Nothing has been distributed yet — unofficial "GRVT token access" sites are phishing.
GT points are pre-TGE credentials — no token or ticker is announced ("GT" is only the points unit). The venue, rebranded from GMXSOL in November 2025, has grown into a leading Solana perp DEX with roughly $35M TVL as of July 2026.
The points season entered a wind-down "final phase" around late June 2026 and the PROVE staking boost is paused for the off-season. No token exists; circulating tickers ($HEAT, HBC) are conflicting rumors with no official source.
The points program launched 2026-02-26 and concludes no later than Q3 2026, so the farming window is closing. No token is announced, points cannot be bought, and the docs make no conversion promise.
Live since 2025-12-09, invite-gated. Docs are explicit that no separate HyENA token will exist; points roll into Ethena Exchange Points, whose ENA conversion is reported for HyENA but not officially promised. The 24-epoch clock and Ethena's six-month framing imply the program ends between May and August 2026.
Season 2 opened 2026-01-05 with a 25M-point cap; Season 1 (March 2025-January 2026) included a 10M-point retroactive allocation. No token, ticker, or TGE exists, and points are explicitly non-transferable — "Ostium presale" sites are scams.
Weekly 10M-point emissions have run continuously since September 2025 (raised from 500k/week that October) with no seasons, no token, and no announced conversion. Circulating "220M-token airdrop" figures are community speculation, not official.
Season One opened 2026-06-10 on Monad mainnet (the venue launched 2026-02-24), with pre-season activity promised retroactive credit. No token is announced despite the $9.25M Dragonfly-led raise.
The Pre-Season pays 1M points weekly with rules that can change by campaign week. There is no referral program and no token — the docs state points carry no guaranteed monetary value.
Points have run since 2025-12-10; emission rates were halved 2026-05-24, and the maker program graduated into daily-paid Community Maker Yield (SIP-5A) on 2026-07-05. A token is officially planned ("within the year", May 2026) but has no ticker, tokenomics, or date.
Season 1 (2025-03-13 through September 2025) ended and the program moved to an always-on cadence with "no firm end date" per current docs. No token exists — unrelated "VEST" tickers belong to other projects.
Trading-mining ended with Stage 6 on 2026-03-29 — no Stage 7 exists. Stages 2-4 paid further allocations through early 2026, and the Stage 5 distribution window closes 2026-07-09. Since 2026-06-17, 99% of daily fees fund ASTER buybacks with matched burns (supply target 8B down to 3B).
Season 3 ended 2026-02-28 and its Airdrop 2 was distributed in early March 2026. No Season 4 is announced as of 2026-07-05, so no XP currently accrues; a buyback-and-burn (30% of daily fees) has run since 2026-03-11.
BASED launched 2026-03-30 (CoinGecko: based-one). Season 3 was the final points season; earning has shifted to staking and affiliate fee share, and no Season 4 is announced as of 2026-07-05.
FUEL was fully distributed in 2025. Drift was exploited for ~$295M on 2026-04-01 (attributed to DPRK-linked actors), went offline, and is relaunching as Velocity DEX with a separate $1-per-$1-loss recovery-token plan. Recovery tokens are compensation, not an airdrop.
Points ended at the 2026-03-31 TGE. Afterwards, insider-concentration allegations led the governance council to lock 140M EDGE for one year (2026-04-01), and a thin-liquidity flash crash on 2026-06-01 triggered a USDC compensation program. Both disputes are documented but unadjudicated; no points season runs today.
The points program ended with the November 2024 genesis drop. No second points season exists as of July 2026, and the ~38.9% future-emissions reserve remains largely undistributed apart from staking emissions. Treat any "Season 2 snapshot" statement as rumor.
Points ended at the 2025-12-30 TGE. A Season 3 is teased (250M LIT reserved for future seasons) but has not launched as of 2026-07-05 — treat "next Lighter airdrop" dates as rumor. Daily-fee buybacks began burning LIT around 2026-07-01, and Robinhood Chain picked Lighter as its native perp DEX.
All Project Origin seasons were 2024 pre-TGE campaigns; no points season has run since the May 2025 TGE, and vesting completed by late 2025. V2 shipped 2026-06-12 as a product upgrade, not a distribution. September 2025 sybil allegations around the airdrop remain denied and unadjudicated.
No points or airdrop program has ever run — treat "GMX airdrop" sites as phishing. The March 2026 strategic plan moved fee distribution into treasury-accumulation mode below the $90 price trigger.
Chains & L2s
Network-level XP and points programs, clearly separated from confirmed token distributions.
XP has run since January 2025 and PENGU holders earn a multiplier, but no token is announced after roughly 18 months of tracking. Treat any XP-to-token math as guesswork.
Kraken has officially confirmed the INK token, and Kraken Pro trading has earned Ink points since 2026-04-06. Every launch date in circulation is community speculation, not Kraken guidance. Nado, the perp DEX on Ink, feeds the same token — see its entry.
DeFi & staking
Published deposit, mint and staking mechanics, with no assumption that points become tokens.
Season 6 has been live since 2026-03-26, and airdrop trackers report it as the final season — Ethena itself has not confirmed that. Season 5 paid 2% of ENA supply, distributed March 2026.
Miles Season 2 has run since the FF TGE on 2025-09-29, with 80-160x multipliers by product. Whether and how Season 2 Miles convert into further FF has not been committed.
Season 3 opened 2026-03-18, the same day BARD went live, with 10M BARD attached. Idle holding no longer earns — only LBTC deployed into approved DeFi accrues Lux, and referrals are an explicit source.
This is the Felix CDP and lending protocol on HyperEVM (usefelix.xyz), NOT the defunct Felix perps HIP-3 venue on Hyperliquid — the two share a name only. Season 2 has run since January 2026 with no token announced.
Hearts pay weekly on vault deposits, but TVL has cooled hard — from a $360M peak to roughly $44M — and no token is announced. Shrinking TVL cuts both ways: fewer farmers per Heart, but a weaker case that a drop ever comes.
Warning before you farm: points have accrued since June 2024 and there is still no TGE, no ticker, and no conversion commitment after more than two years. Capital parked here carries real opportunity cost, and a points program this old converting at all is the exception, not the rule.
Apps & wallets
Consumer-app and wallet programs tracked as research, not as eligibility or token-access portals.
The dYdX Foundation has confirmed an Arcus token with allocation reserved for the dYdX community, but no date or tokenomics. Tokenized-stock spot (95+ tickers, zero fees) opened 2026-07-01; perps remain in closed beta behind a referral-weighted waitlist. US, UK, and Canada are geoblocked.
Points are live and the app posted $300M+ revenue in its first 263 days, but no token is announced as of 2026-07-06. High revenue does not obligate an airdrop — the team has committed to nothing.
SEA was confirmed in October 2025 with 50% of supply earmarked for the community, but the TGE slipped past its original Q1 2026 window and has not happened as of 2026-07-06. OpenSea calls the current XP wave the last one.
The CEO confirmed a token in 2025, but as of 2026-07-06 there is no date, no snapshot, and no points program. Perps launched in beta on 2026-05-28 with a waitlist. Any eligibility criteria circulating are guesses.
Points cost nothing but time: you operate robot arms remotely and the control and eye-tracking data trains robotics models. It has ranked as the top trending Galxe campaign, but no token is confirmed, so the payoff is entirely speculative.
Season 1 ended, and its distribution window closed. MetaMask says there are no concrete plans for another season. Check the Rewards tab for current campaigns; the calculator does not project a universal rate.
