An airdrop is when cryptocurrency tokens are distributed to users, normally to reward an existing community or increase awareness around a project.
To receive an airdrop, you'll generally need to have met specific criteria like holding a particular cryptocurrency, using the relevant platform or crypto wallet, being part of a community, or completing other miscellaneous tasks.
Some airdrops are conducted randomly, or airdropped to as many crypto addresses as possible.
You should always confirm the legitimacy of any unauthorised airdrops before interacting with them.
Here are some of the rumoured and confirmed airdrops you should be paying attention to this month:
zkSync (Rumoured) - zkSync may launch a token and airdrop it to users who have interacted with the zkSync network. This may include taking actions like bridging Ethereum, staking tokens, trading and adding to liquidity pools.
Blast (Confirmed/Currently open) - New Ethereum layer-2 network Blast will airdrop tokens to early users of the Blast mainnet. You'll need an invite code to join, but can then earn points towards an airdrop by bridging ETH to Blast, inviting friends, and interacting with various dapps on the network.
Yes, many crypto airdrops have proven to be extremely profitable, with users receiving tokens worth thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars.
To give you a sense of the potential upside, here are some of the most profitable airdrops over the last few years:
Of course, most airdrops will not be anywhere near this profitable and it can be difficult to determine which airdrops will represent the best return.
The main draw of crypto airdrops is the relatively low barrier to entry. Airdrops are generally designed to reward legitimate and dedicated supporters of specific crypto projects not just enrich those with the biggest portfolios.
While you will need some capital to qualify for many of the biggest airdrops, it's entirely possible to receive airdrops without having to spend much at all.
Of course, the phrase "there's no such thing as a free lunch" remains true here. You'll still need to work for your money if you want to give yourself a chance at the best airdrops.
We currently don't have that product, but here are others to consider:

How we picked theseWith the number of projects now opting to utilise airdrops as a way to distribute tokens, it's almost impossible to stay across all of them. We'll update the top of this guide with the best potential airdrops to keep an eye on each month.
Sites like Airdrops.io will also list confirmed and potential airdrops, but it's also a good idea to do your own research on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Discord and Telegram to get additional insights and tips on how to find the best upcoming airdrops.
It's rare for an airdrop to effectively give you something for nothing and there's almost always costs associated with them, whether that's time or capital.
In order to qualify for most airdrops, you'll need to spend some crypto in the form of transaction or trading fees, as well as buying and holding specific cryptocurrencies.
Many airdrops are also never officially announced or keep their criteria secret (to stop people gaming the system), which means you can end up spending money chasing airdrops that either never eventuate or that you don't end up qualifying for.
Let's take the Uniswap example again.
Any valid wallet that had interacted with Uniswap was airdropped 400 UNI tokens, regardless of the level of activity or volume.
This meant someone with a dozen wallet addresses that had all used Uniswap would have received 4,800 UNI tokens overall, even if they ended up interacting with it less than someone who only used one wallet address.
While many projects have cottoned on to the fact that users will create multiple wallets to game airdrops, if you have legitimate activity across multiple wallets you have a chance of receiving multiple airdrops.
Many crypto protocols that plan an airdrop want the tokens to go to users who legitimately use the platform or had some role in helping it develop. Even if a project is still in beta testing, it pays to get involved and try out new platforms and protocols when they're first getting off the ground.
Some airdrops aim to reward regular users or those who have demonstrated a long-term commitment to a certain platform. While you may qualify for a particular airdrop if you simply interacted once with the relevant platform or protocol, you may receive a larger airdrop if you have continued to use it over a longer period of time.
Not all airdrops are created equal and many are downright malicious. Unfortunately, there are a number of ways that scammers use airdrops to try and steal your cryptocurrency, including "gifting" airdropped tokens to unsuspecting users.
In fact, if you use a software or hardware wallet, it's likely you will be airdropped tokens at some point. If you don't know why you received a particular airdrop you should do some research to confirm that it's legitimate before trying to sell or transfer the tokens.
You should also be wary of any ads or posts on social media promoting airdrops, even if they seem genuine. Scammers will often advertise fake versions of real airdrops to perform phishing attacks.

Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.

Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
