DeFi Airdrops

Some of the most attractive yield in crypto doesn’t come from DeFi. It comes from Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) with crypto-denominated balance sheets. Strategy (MSTR), a leader in the space and the company behind one of the market’s best-known Bitcoin treasury models, issues STRC, a short-duration, high-yield credit instrument listed on Nasdaq. STRC pays around 11.5% annual dividends, paid monthly in cash. The dividend rate is adjusted monthly, to help keep STRC trading close to $100. ApyX brings Strategy’s STRC yield onchain ️ ApyX is a dividend-backed stablecoin protocol that transforms STRC dividend flows into onchain yield through a system built around apxUSD, the stablecoin liquidity layer, apyUSD, the yield-bearing token, and APYX, the future governance token designed to align the ecosystem over time, with support from DeFi Development Corp. (NASDAQ: DFDV), as covered by Business Insider. Earn Yield While Farming Pips Toward the $APYX Airdrop ApyX lets users earn dividend-bac

Melt Finance is the native spot layer on Hyperliquid, built to bring real-world assets — tokenized stocks, commodities, equities, and L1 tokens — into Hyperliquid’s ecosystem as live spot markets. Traders get 24/7 permissionless, self-custodial access to high-demand global assets on a live orderbook, with no expiration dates or funding rates. The platform runs on HyperCore’s unified liquidity infrastructure, meaning spot and perpetual markets share the same orderbook. Melt’s focus is assets that sit outside typical crypto exchanges — tokenized equities, commodity-backed tokens — routed into Hyperliquid’s trading environment.

Tings is a perpetual futures DEX that uses Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 protocol to make markets for assets that have never had them before. Prices of GPUs, unemployment rates, weather indexes, US debt levels, collectibles like $CHARIZARD or $ROLEX—things that people keep an eye on but can’t trade. Tings makes those underlying assets tradable perp contracts on-chain. Since February 2026, the platform has been in testnet. There are already live markets and a points program, but no information about public funding has been made public. If you’re farming Hyperliquid airdrops, Tings is a bet that makes sense to keep an eye on.

Cesto is the first vibe investing platform on Solana, letting users invest in thematic baskets of tokenized assets — stocks, crypto, and real-world assets (RWAs). Think “War Mode” defense stocks or crypto narrative plays, packaged into a single one-click position sent straight to your wallet. The core idea is self-custodial, diversified investing without the friction. No manual rebalancing across a dozen protocols, no centralized custody. Cesto handles automatic rebalancing while you keep control of your assets. The app went live on March 31, 2026, with a curated set of baskets available from day one. Cesto also won the Solana Demo Day competition and received a grant from Superteam UAE.

Paragon is a market infrastructure protocol built on Hyperliquid that turns widely tracked crypto indices into tradable perpetual futures. The three available markets are $BTC.D (Bitcoin dominance), $TOTAL2 (total crypto market cap excluding BTC), and $OTHERS (total market cap excluding the top 10). Rather than managing a basket of positions to express a macro view, traders can take a single on-chain position against benchmarks they already chart. Markets are deployed via Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 standard. Trades settle in USDC with cross-margin support and up to 50x leverage. The protocol went live in early April 2026 and cleared over $8.88M in volume across 263 wallets in its first few days. Syncracy Capital led an undisclosed seed round, closed the same month. Paragon works across several frontends beyond the main Hyperliquid app — including Tread.fi, Pear Protocol, and Based. A live stats dashboard at stats.paragon.trade tracks volume, unique users, and per-market leaderboards in real t

Liquidiction is a frontend aggregator for Hyperliquid’s HIP-4 prediction markets. It pulls together binary prediction markets, where users trade on price outcomes and other events, into one interface with live odds, real-time order books, leaderboards, and activity tracking across all active markets. The platform runs on Hyperliquid, a high-performance L1 built for on-chain trading. HIP-4 is Hyperliquid’s native prediction market standard; Liquidiction is the main frontend for discovering and trading those markets. No external funding has been publicly disclosed.

KUVI AI is a company based in Toronto, Canada, building an AI-driven crypto interface to simplify digital asset trading. To accelerate this goal, KUVI strategically acquired Altura. KUVI's core token, $KUVI, has a total supply of 1,000,000,000 and powers fee discounts, access to advanced features, incentives, and governance within KUVI's AI-driven execution system. $ALU is Altura's native token, with a max supply of 1,330,000,000, and is listed on exchanges such as BingX, KuCoin, Gate, and DigiFinex.

Saturn Credit is a platform that offers a credit instrument based on the yield from a Bitcoin treasury strategy. It features two layers: USDat, a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to USDC with 100% reserves in U.S. Treasuries, and sUSDat, which accrues yield from staking USDat. Saturn aims to bring the yield from the Bitcoin treasury instrument STRC, which pays around 11.50% annual dividends, to the decentralized finance ecosystem.

Sushi is a decentralised exchange that works on many chains and lets you swap tokens, provide liquidity, trade perpetuals, and farm yields. It started in August 2020 and has since grown into one of DeFi’s longest-running protocols, working on dozens of chains and processing billions of dollars in total volume. Sushi’s perpetuals platform lets traders take leveraged positions on major assets in addition to spot trading. As of April 2026, perps activity now earns points. The protocol has raised $3.3 million from investors like DeFiance Capital, Blockchain Capital, and Astronaut Capital. This makes it more likely that it will last in a crowded DEX market. The current perps program runs on Arbitrum, which gives traders a fast, cheap place to trade with leverage and earn points at the same time.

Carte is a digital collecting card platform from Manifold, the onchain publishing company backed by a16z Crypto, Initialized Capital, and Christie’s Ventures. The main highlight is simple: each pack comes with licensed artwork from real artists, and the artists get all the money from sales and royalties. No generative AI art and no unclear IP. The platform went into private beta with more than 50,000 people on the waitlist before Wave 001 opened in early 2026. The first collection comes from @StarweaveStudio — a tarot-inspired series where each card belongs to one of four suits: Wands (creativity), Swords (intellect), Cups (emotion), and Pentacles (wealth). You don’t need a crypto wallet to collect cards, but some cards can be redeemed for rewards on the blockchain.

Genius Terminal is a non-custodial, multi-chain trading platform that integrates spot trading, perpetuals, and launchpads into a single interface. The project is backed by YZi Labs, with Changpeng Zhao serving as an advisor. Genius Terminal aims to provide faster discovery and cleaner execution for active traders by leveraging Aster and HyperLiquid technologies for its perpetuals offering and helping surface new crypto pairs through its launchpad feature. The platform operates a points program that may lead to a $GENIUS token airdrop.

WEEX is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that started in 2018 with a $100 million investment from a top blockchain investment firm. The platform has users in more than 150 countries and lets you do spot trading, futures trading, OTC trading, and copy trading all in one place. WEEX lets you trade 1,200 or more spot pairs and 1,000 or more futures pairs, with up to 400x leverage. It adds 120 or more new listings every month. The exchange has a publicly known 1,000 BTC security deposit pool to protect user funds. WEEX became LALIGA’s official regional partner in Hong Kong and Taiwan in 2026. This showed that the company was still pushing into global markets with a team of over 1,000 people.

Purinta is a memecoin money market that lets people get liquidity out of their meme coin holdings without having to sell them. The protocol lets people use meme coins as collateral to borrow or mint USDC. In simple terms, “Deposit your memes, print USDC.” It is built on Morpho and uses Api3DAO for decentralized price feeds, which gives it a modular, permissionless base. The main use case is for memecoin holders who have a constant problem: getting liquidity without losing exposure. Instead of selling when prices are unstable, users can put up their assets as collateral and borrow against them.

STRATO is a DeFi protocol built around hard assets: on-chain gold, silver, ETH, and BTC. Users mint USDST, STRATO’s native stablecoin, by depositing these assets as collateral through a CDP (Collateralized Debt Position). STRATO calls its unique model HardFi: hard assets, powered by DeFi speed and liquidity. Every metal tokenized on STRATO is vaulted 1:1 in New York City and redeemable in person. This is physical backing you won’t find on Aave, Compound, or any standard DeFi lending market. STRATO’s founders were the first to tokenize RWAs on Ethereum and are bringing more tokenized assets to STRATO every month. The protocol charges a CDP stability fee of approximately 2-3% annually, compared to 5-15% on most competing platforms. That gap is an opportunity: borrow cheap, deploy into yield-bearing positions, keep the spread. STRATO’s vision is to make the most trusted assets in the world also some of the most productive.”

xMoney is a regulated payments infrastructure layer for digital commerce. It brings together transaction processing, recurring billing, invoicing, merchant tooling, card issuing, and stablecoin rails, providing a unified way to move value across fiat and crypto environments. The company has secured $21.5M in funding led by Sui Foundation, with support from MultiversX, and is a Licensed Electronic Money Institution regulated by the Bank of Romania, MiCA compliant, a principal member of Visa and Mastercard, and PCI DSS Level 1 certified.

American Fortress is a crypto project that aims to address the privacy issues associated with the traditional wallet model. It features a proprietary "Send-to-Name" architecture that generates unique receive paths between users, instead of exposing permanent wallet addresses. The project has raised $10 million in funding and is built on the Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana blockchains. The key component is the FortressName, which allows users to send funds to a human-readable name rather than a wallet string.

OmenX is a leveraged prediction trading platform that turns the outcomes of real-world events in sports, politics, crypto markets, finance, and tech into markets that last forever. OmenX is different from traditional prediction markets because traders can enter and exit positions based on price changes, with leverage. In traditional prediction markets, users hold binary bets until they settle. Base, which is Ethereum’s Layer 2, is the foundation of the platform. It is aimed at professional and institutional traders who want to get capital-efficient exposure to event-driven markets. The project has raised millions of dollars in a seed round led by Paramita VC, Penrose Ventures, and M77 Ventures. Founders of several centralised exchanges have also backed the project. In early March 2026, OmenX’s public testnet (Beta) went live on Base Sepolia mainnet is now live. The platform’s institutional-grade tools, like position management, hedging mechanics, and leverage, set it apart from simpler

HypurrFi is a lending and leverage marketplace on the Hyperliquid EVM chain. It allows users to supply assets such as $HYPE and stablecoins to mint the synthetic dollar USDXL and compound their exposure. The platform integrates swap and bridge functionality, and includes an in-app AI assistant. HypurrFi distributes 1,000,000 HP rewards weekly, with multipliers and a Buddy Code system that may hint at potential airdrop alignment. Some pools also provide partner-specific rewards.

Ares is a trading terminal that focuses on prediction markets and on-chain assets. It works with platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, which let people see who the best traders are in real time and copy their positions with just one click. The platform also brings up emerging narratives early, which gives traders an advantage when they act on news. Ares also has tools for arbitrage and a Chrome extension that lets users trade directly from X without having to switch tabs. The platform is live, and there are active leaderboards and copy-trading features. However, full access to the dashboard is currently on a waitlist. Ares is backed by Alliance, a prominent crypto accelerator.

Mybucks.online is a disposable, seedless cryptocurrency wallet with 1-Click Gifting. The app allows you to quickly create a temporary wallet without downloading apps, registering, or using seed phrases. For gifting or airdropping, just deposit cryptocurrency and transfer complete ownership via a special URL known as a “Transfer Link” in the app. This implies that the wallet itself, not just the coins, can be sent. You can send money without requesting the wallet address of the recipient. It provides easy onboarding and a zero-footprint experience, functioning as a digital envelope or cash. The wallet does not use storage or third-party APIs for key management; it operates solely on the browser side. The PIN and passphrase are the main login credentials on Mybucks.online. An industry-standard, one-way hash function that has been battle-tested on Hackenproof is used to transform these into a private key and wallet address.

The Redemption Token is a new idea that Tok-Edge, a crypto hedge fund, is built around. Tok-Edge issues tradable tokens on-chain that investors must hold in order to get their share of the fund’s net asset value (NAV). This is different from how traditional funds work. This makes it one of the first regulated hedge funds to give investors access to DeFi-composable funds without having to wait for a VC lock-up or having to deal with confusing fund mechanics. The fund has a long-only strategy for a liquid crypto and DeFi portfolio. It gets yield from staking, providing liquidity, and airdrop farming, as well as directional price exposure. Risk management is done according to the standards of traditional finance (TradFi). This is different from most on-chain funds, which don’t have much formal oversight. Tok-Edge is getting ready to launch. At app.tok-edge.com, there is a live wallet-scoring app that users can access with an invite code. This lets them see how their on-chain history is ca
