Airdrop Claims đŞ:
TermMax ($TMX) â TGE August 25
Multi-chain fixed-rate lending protocol on 10 EVM chains with $90M+ TVL, backed by Cumberland DRW and HashKey Capital. Pre-TGE points have ended â this is a claim window, not an active farm.
Check your allocation via the checker and lock in vesting/claim preference (deadline was Aug 23; some appeals may still be open). Binance Alpha lists $TMX first on Aug 25 â 225+ Alpha Points claims ~200 TMX for 15 points, first-come, first-served. Season 1 is live post-TGE but invite-only â activity earns Tico/Ancient Coin convertible to more $TMX.
Official link: leaderboard.termmax.ts.finance/wallet/tutorial/quick-start
â ď¸ Claim decisions are final. Only ~20% circulating at TGE â unlock pressure likely. Season 1 requires an invite. Binance Alpha claim consumes points regardless of success. Only use official TermMax and Binance links.
Aligned Layer ($ALIGN) â Claim Live
Aligned is a ZK infrastructure and proof verification/aggregation layer on Ethereum. $ALIGN launched ~August 20, 2026, with the airdrop representing ~8.74% of the 10B supply â claims are open now at airdrop.alignedlayer.com. Pure claim window, not active farming.
Allocations of 10,000 tokens or fewer unlock in full at TGE and are claimable on Base. Larger allocations get 10,000 at TGE, with the remainder vesting linearly over 12 months on Ethereum L1 â claim on the correct network for your size.
Official link: airdrop.alignedlayer.com
â ď¸ Price has dumped significantly since listing. Larger allocations stay mostly locked for a year. Only use the official airdrop.alignedlayer.com â ignore any DM or reply claim links.
â ď¸DISCLAIMER NOTICEâ ď¸ A note before the next section:
New protocols often carry the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.
Smart-contract exploits, depegs, insolvent yield strategies, and outright project failure happen disproportionately in a protocolâs first 3â6 months (weâve seen it play out with Dango and others in this very letter). Nothing here has a multi-year track record.
Treat every entry below as capital-at-risk, not âfree pointsâ. Size positions like you could lose them entirely, and never deposit more than youâre fully prepared to write off.
Airdrop News/Updates &
infiniFi â TGE Confirmed Q4 2026, Boosted Points Start Tomorrow
infiniFi confirmed Q4 2026 TGE after ~14 months of speculation. Season 1 and Season 2 points already earned have fixed allocations â no dilution. Starting Aug 26, 11am ET, the highest-ever point boost begins from a new fixed-allocation pool, running through TGE.
Track record: 15 months live, $8.75M in returns across 5,000+ depositors, zero security incidents, survived five liquidity shocks (including the Resolv/Morpho fallout) without ever failing same-block redemptions.
Official link: infinifi.xyz/
â ď¸ No exact TGE date â Q4 is a quarter-wide window. Conversion ratio to the eventual token not yet published. Standard DeFi yield risk applies.
Arc â Circleâs L1 (Free Optionality, Mainnet September 16)
Arc is Circleâs new Layer 1, the âEconomic OS for the internetâ â USDC as native gas, sub-second finality, full EVM compatibility. Backed by a $222M presale at $3B FDV led by a16z, with validators including BlackRock, Visa, and Mastercard.
No points program or airdrop mechanism exists. The testnet has been live since October 2025, free via a faucet, but nothing ties activity to a guaranteed reward. Mainnet targets September 16.
The whitepaper allocates 60% of the 10B supply to the ecosystem â a theoretical pool for future rewards, but no snapshot or criteria have been confirmed. Stay lightly active on testnet and be ready for mainnet day one; treat this as free optionality, not an active farm.
Official link: arc.io/
â ď¸ No confirmed points program, airdrop mechanism, or retail allocation criteria exists â this is pure speculation based on the ecosystem allocation percentage in the whitepaper. The heavy institutional/TradFi focus of the validator set and design genuinely could mean retail gets a smaller consideration than typical crypto-native L1 launches. Testnet activity carries no guarantee of counting toward anything. Mainnet execution risk remains until September 16 actually happens.
New Opportunities:
Nado â Season 2 Points + Weekly USDT0 (Paid While You Farm)
Nado is a CLOB DEX on Ink (Krakenâs L2) offering spot, perps, and money markets under one unified margin account, built by a team with Kraken and Vertex roots. Dual reward structure: Season 2 points (open access) confirmed to convert into $INK at TGE, plus a weekly cash pool up to $100K USDT0 that scales with volume, split across taker volume (75% weighting), maker activity, and open interest.
Points pool scales too â floor of 300k weekly, capping ~950k in high-volume weeks. One of the few farms here paying real cash weekly while also stacking toward a confirmed token. Genuine double-dip: xStocks used on Nado stacks xPoints on top of Nadoâs points and INK path simultaneously.
To farm: prioritize taker volume (heaviest weighting), maintain open interest, consider LP on boosted markets. Claim USDT0 weekly rather than letting it sit. Consistency beats sporadic large sessions.
Official link: app.nado.xyz/points
â ď¸ As Season 2âs open access continues attracting more participants, individual point shares will likely dilute over time â earlier consistent activity has an edge over late entry. The exact $INK conversion rate and mechanics from Nado points are still to-be-determined. Standard perp trading and leverage risk applies. Ink L2 carries its own smart-contract and chain-level risk as a newer network.
Variational â Omni Points (Time-Sensitive)
Variational runs an RFQ-based derivatives protocol on Arbitrum: Omni (zero-fee retail perps, 500+ markets, up to 50x) and Pro (institutional OTC). $1.4B+ dual-sided OI and hundreds of billions in lifetime volume. Backed by Bain Capital Crypto and a $50M Series A led by Dragonfly â $61.8M total raised.
Omni Points distributes a fixed ~150,000 points weekly for prior-week trading activity â your share depends on total participant volume, not just yours. Legacy traders get +10%, 30-day volume tiers add up to +5%, referrals earn 1 point per 10 the referee generates.
Program ends by Q3 2026 â roughly 1â1.5 months left. $VAR isnât live yet, but ~50% of supply is earmarked for community with 30%+ of protocol revenue committed to buyback and burn.
To farm: trade consistently on volume and sustained OI, use a referral code, track tier progress. Zero fees donât mean zero cost â funding and spread still apply.
Official link: omni.variational.io/points
â ď¸ This is time-limited â the program ends by Q3 2026, so late starters get less runway than early participants. The fixed weekly pool means more participants (already 24k+ accounts) directly dilute your share over time. Zero fees donât mean zero cost â funding rates and spread still apply on real positions. Geo-restrictions apply in various jurisdictions. No token live yet â TGE timing and final allocation mechanics arenât confirmed.
