2025 Airdrop List
Quality Over Quantity
The goal is to keep this list fairly tight. My personal motto is to go with quality over quantity when I’m looking at airdrops and to try to concentrate on a few quality names per quarter.
We will only republish this when we add something new.
Special thanks to our sponsors who make it possible to provide FREE content like Yields of the Week!
🖥️ PYTH | SMARTER DATA FOR SMARTER CONTRACTS
⌛️ HOURGLASS | LEVERAGE AIRDROP FARMING
📈 iYIELD | YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, SIMPLIFIED
🧪 MANTLE | START YOUR RESTAKING JOURNEY TODAY WITH CMETH
🐡 PUFFER FINANCE | LIQUID RESTAKING FOR THE LITTLE FISH
🌔 MOONWELL | THE LEADING LENDING AND BORROWING APP ON BASE
🐐 GOAT NETWORK | A BITCOIN L2 TO EARN WITH BTC & DOGE
Before we get started, this is never a recommendation or endorsement to buy any token(s) mentioned, and here’s a few risks to consider:
Smart contract risk in any underlying protocols
Spoof attack on an app frontend
An economic design exploit
Systemic risk across DeFi, including stablecoin depegs
Current List
If I label something with a “Low” or “Medium” conviction level, just know that anything that makes this list is something I’m already very bullish on. If conviction is lower, it can be due to the stage of airdrop, overall airdrop dynamics or conviction in relation to the other opportunities on this list.
Lastly, I’m aware some of these are later stage opportunities and I will try to update this with new opportunities as soon as they come on our radar.
Creator Bid
What is it: Creator Bid is a hub for the AI Creator Economy, where creators can launch, grow, and earn with AI Agents. These agents are key to building communities using Agent Keys, digital tokens that enhance engagement and value sharing. Creator Bid aims to be part of the shift towards an autonomous Creator Economy.
Airdrop progress: Already in the later stage of their points campaign with rumors of BID token launching in late January 2025. I’m still interested in this one as I believe the team is planning a public sale as well and my hope is that they will offer this opportunity up to early community backers first. This is just a hunch, but in addition to the airdrop allocation, you might have an opportunity to purchase in the public sale at what is being advertised as a $25M FDV. With current market comparisons that appears to be way under market.
How to Participate: Buy agent tokens on their platform and stake them under the “membership tab”. However, be careful as there is a 14 day unstaking period.
This is what the “Membership” tab looks like on the UI
(disclosure: I’m staking AION and DKING - Nomatic)

Wayfinder
What is it: Wayfinder is a new AI-powered tool designed to operate across multiple blockchains. It enables user-owned, autonomous AI agents to navigate securely and efficiently within and across blockchain ecosystems and applications. These agents can independently transact assets they control through dedicated crypto wallets.
Airdrop progress: Mid to Later stage
How to Participate:
Cache PRIME to earn PROMPT - 40% of PROMPT supply will be going to users who cache PRIME (see DeFi Dad’s writeup below)

Resolv
What is it: Resolv, similar to Ethena, is a protocol that maintains USR, a stablecoin natively backed by ETH and pegged to the USD. Here are its main features:
Issuance and Redemption: Users can issue and redeem USR against other tokens.
Backing: Resolv ensures sufficient backing by ETH at all times through hedging the ETH price with short perpetual futures positions.
Resolv Liquidity Pool (RLP): An insurance pool designed to keep USR overcollateralized, enhancing stability and security.
Both USR and RLP can be minted and redeemed by users, with each unit backed by collateral on a 1:1 basis.
Airdrop progress: Mid to Later stage
How to Participate:
Holding USR
If you want to use leverage for your points, Spectra YTs have been slightly better than Pendle YTs

Definitive
What is it: Definitive is being developed by a team of ex-Coinbase alumni. It’s an all-in-one DeFi Superapp for onchain trade execution and DeFi yield. Available on Solana + EVM.
(Disclaimer: Both myself and DeFi Dad are very bullish on this one and also investors. It’s quickly becoming one of our most used apps that we open on a daily basis.)
Airdrop progress: Mid to Later stage. I’d say ¾ of the way through their points program. However, I’ve heard a rumor that rewards could be ongoing 👀
How to Participate:
Similar to Hyperliquid where using the app is the best way to participate
Daily + weekly quests
Conviction Level: Med/High
