Airdrop Claims

Image
  • Katana launched mainnet + KAT token yesterday.

    • If you staked POL between May 2025 and March 3, 2026, head to app.katana.network now to check your share of the 15% POL staker airdrop (~140M KAT immediately claimable, rest vesting over 4 years).

    • Ongoing: 1B KAT liquidity mining incentives over 2 years via Sushi (spot LP) and Morpho (lending).

    • Bridge assets and provide liquidity to earn KAT emissions + real yield from Vault Bridge revenue ($3M+ already).

    Note: Only use app.katana.network — scam claim sites are already circulating.
  • Lombard Finance $BARD claims go live tomorrow, March 18 at 9:00 AM ET at claim.lombard.finance.

    • Season 2 snapshot is done — keep your LBTC positions active until then to maximize your final allocation.

    • Tomorrow you can claim the remaining 50% Season 1 allocation + all Season 1 referral rewards. Full Season 2 allocation (1.5% of total supply) claims on March 30. Kaito Yappers claim separately at kaito.ai/airdrops.

    Note: Only use official links above. Unclaimed tokens return to the Ecosystem Fund after 90 days.
  • The Unitas $UP airdrop claim is live now — 30-day window closes around April 12. Claim immediately at sol.unitas.so/airdrop by connecting the Solana wallet you used for Season 1 farming.

    • Full allocation is unlocked with no vesting.

    • If you also participated in the Binance Booster, check Binance Wallet → Discover → Booster for extra $UP claims.

    Note: Only use the official claim link above. Any other claim links in replies or DMs are scams.
  • Backpack $BP TGE is March 23 — 6 days away. Points farming is officially over (”Limbo” has begun). 25% of total supply (250M $BP) drops at TGE: 24% to points holders and 1% to Mad Lads NFT holders. Zero allocation to team or VCs at launch.

    • Log into backpack.exchange/points to check your balance and — critically — complete mandatory face liveness verification in the app if you haven’t already.

    • Without verification, you can’t claim.

    • Conversion rate (points → $BP) will be revealed on TGE day.

    Note: Team never DMs first. Ignore any “verify here” links or fake sites — only use backpack.exchange.
  • The Hemi vested airdrop unlock is now live. If you chose the 6-month lock option, head to app.hemi.xyz/en/staking-dashboard, click “Unlock,” and claim your tokens. To sell, swap HEMI to any token via app.rubic.exchange.


Airdrop Checkers

Image
  • USD.AI’, a DeFi lending protocol financing real-world AI infrastructure (GPUs), with ~$350M TVL and ~6.7–9% APR on sUSDai. $CHIP airdrop checker is live at app.usd.ai/chip — connect the wallet you used for Allo Game Season 1 farming to check your allocation.

    • TGE is expected this month, at which point a claim button will appear in the app.

    • $CHIP is the governance token with 10B total supply — 3% (300M CHIP) allocated to Season 1 airdrop participants, 100% unlocked at TGE.

    • If you bought in the ICO, the refund window closes March 22 at 23:59 UTC — but refunds forfeit your entire allocation (ICO + airdrop) irreversibly. Season 2 is already live for future rewards.

Note: Claims are not live yet — ignore any early claim links, they’re scams. Only use usd.ai official domains.

Airdrop Updates & Opportunities

Image
  • Bad news for $SEA farmers — OpenSea has delayed the TGE indefinitely due to “challenging market conditions.”

    • The March 30 launch event is cancelled with no new date announced. The current Wave is the final one — no more new Waves.

    • Your Treasures remain in your account and will count toward future TGE allocation whenever it happens. A

    • s a compensation, OpenSea is offering 0% token trading fees for 60 days starting March 31.

    • For Waves 3–6 participants: a fee refund option is coming soon, but accepting it forfeits all Treasures from those waves — wait for full details before deciding.

    Note: No claims are live — ignore any unsolicited links or DMs.
  • Big update for GRVT farmers: TGE pushed to end of June 2026, but Season 2 community allocation was raised from 12% to 18% of total supply — total community airdrop now 28% of 1B tokens. More time, bigger slice.

    • 150K points distributed weekly to ~15K users. Earn through trading volume, open interest, holding TVL, liquidity provision, and referrals. Note: altcoin multiplier just dropped from 5x to 2x, while RWA markets bumped to 3x — adjust accordingly. Points snapshot locks June 30.

    • Pro tip: deposit into GLP vaults to earn 5–11% APY on the same capital while farming points simultaneously.

    • Track your points at grvt.io/exchange/reward-portal. Weekly drops every Tuesday.

    Note: No claim site yet — TGE is June 30. Team never DMs first — ignore any unsolicited messages.

NEW Promising Airdrops

  • Altura is a delta-neutral yield vault on HyperEVM — deposit USDT0, receive AVLT shares, and earn ~60% APY (20% base strategy + 40% $ALTU boost) with no lockups. Current TVL is $7.5M.

    • YieldRun Season 2 points are live until April 30, converting directly to $ALTU at TGE (100% unlocked).

    • Biggest multipliers: LP on AVLT/USDT0 pool via prjx_hl, Pendle AVLT pools (3x boost), and referrals.

    • A $750K ALTU Merkl campaign is also running — current epoch ends in ~4–5 days, so act fast.

    • Track your points live at app.altura.trade/airdrop.

    Note: No official claim site yet — nothing is claimable until TGE. High APY reflects early-protocol risk — only deploy what you can afford to lose. Transparency data still lacks RWA composition and yield generated, and this might pose transparency risks for depositors. Please pay attention to this matter.
