24+ active airdrops on zkSync
Hit One is a perpetual futures trading platform built on MegaETH. It offers up to 1000x leverage on crypto markets, built around fast execution via off-chain order aggregation. The pitch is unsubtle: extreme leverage, arcade-style UX, aimed at traders who want speed and risk in one place. Hit One opened to the public around April 23, 2026, after dropping its waitlist.
SimpleChain is a Layer 1 blockchain built for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization at institutional scale. Unlike general-purpose chains, it bakes compliance and data infrastructure into the protocol itself, so industries can tokenize assets without bolting on third-party compliance tools afterward. The core stack includes Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS), a Trusted Data Service (TDS) for granular on-chain asset data, and a DataIPO protocol for asset issuance. SimpleChain raised a $15 million seed round in April 2026, backed by family offices and institutional investors. The testnet launched around April 10–11, 2026, with mainnet still ahead.
Unicity Labs is an AI infrastructure company that is working on the Unicity Protocol, which is a peer-to-peer execution layer for AI agents that can work on their own. There is no shared global ledger, which is different from regular blockchains. Agents can do business with each other at machine speed, and the amount of work that can be done increases with the number of agents instead of being limited by a consensus mechanism. In February 2026, the project got $3 million in seed money, with Blockchange Ventures leading the way and Outlier Ventures and Tawasal also participating.
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.
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
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.”
FareUp is a flight price prediction game that tracks 10 real international flight routes daily. It follows flights from London–Dubai, Brussels–Istanbul, and Frankfurt–Tokyo. Players guess whether ticket prices on each route will go up or down in 24 hours or 7 days, earn points for correct guesses, and compete on a global leaderboard. The project is solo-built and didn’t get any outside funding. You can play FareUp for free and there are no money stakes. The game’s appeal comes from making real-world airfare fluctuations—caused by things like geopolitical events, oil prices, and airspace disruptions—into a fun prediction game that anyone can play.
GenLayer is a blockchain protocol that uses AI to create a trust layer for self-driving commerce, governance, and resolving disputes. Intelligent Contracts are its main new feature. These are smart contracts that can understand natural language, deal with unstructured data, and get live web inputs to give enforceable on-chain results without the need for courts or middlemen. In August 2024, the project got $7.5 million in a Seed round led by North Island Ventures. Other investors included Arrington Capital, MH Ventures, ZK Ventures, and BlockBuilders. GenLayer is currently in the testnet phase, with both the Asimov and Bradbury testnets running and work on the mainnet continuing.
Picks is an on-chain sports prediction skill game where players choose athletes, guess how well they will do in real life, and compete on leaderboards for prizes of up to 30 times their bet. The main idea is simple: the more you know about sports, the better your results will be. Picks is different from regular sports betting because it is set up as a skill-based competition. The more a player knows, the higher they will be on the leaderboard, the more benefits they will get, and the more exclusive access they will have. The platform has a verifiable, permissionless base because predictions and results are settled onchain. The project is currently in pre-launch, and the waitlist for the pre-season is open.
The Qubic blockchain is the foundation of the high-yield project Garth ($GARTH). The story revolves around an upcoming AI takeover: on April 14, 2027, “Aigarth,” an AI system, assumes control of the project. In the interim, Garth runs an aggressive dual-engine earning system intended to serve as a source of recurring Web3 revenue. The Garth Shilling Machine, an optional social mining tool that rewards X (Twitter) activity with instant $QUBIC payouts, and the Mercy List Airdrop, a competitive weekly token distribution for devoted holders, are the project’s two main mechanisms. Future game players, NFT holders, and Zealy task finishers also accrue points for the Grand Termination Party in April 2027. Qubic is a zero-fee Layer 1 blockchain. The foundation of Garth’s tokenomics is exponential decay; each epoch, the minimum buy-in needed to qualify drops while the reward pool stays sizable in relation to participants.
Utexo is a Bitcoin-native infrastructure platform that lets you settle USDT stablecoins quickly and privately on the Bitcoin network. It gives payment operators, exchanges, wallets, custodians, and payment service providers a single API and cloud products to process USDT on a large scale, without needing middlemen or pre-funding. Some of the most important features are settlement finality in less than a second, customizable fees, built-in transaction privacy, and the chance to earn funds on BTC and USDT balances that are idle. In March 2026, the project got $7.5 million in seed funding. Tether, Big Brain Holdings, and Portal Ventures led the round, with Franklin Templeton and Maven11 Capital also helping out.
Blot is a leveraged token protocol built on Ink, an Ethereum Layer 2 on the Superchain. It lets users trade perpetuals, margin spot, basis trades, and pair trades through standard ERC-20 leveraged tokens — without the liquidation risk typical of traditional perp platforms. The protocol launched Phase 1 on February 19, 2026, with Blot Leverage going live on February 25, 2026. Behind it is KittyPunchXYZ, a team that has facilitated over $300M in trading volume across other chains. The $BLOT token is live, connected to $FROTH via a burn-to-mint mechanism, and 100% of app fees are used to buy back $BLOT, creating consistent buy pressure. BlotSwap, the protocol’s DEX component, supports liquidity farming alongside the trading dashboard, giving users multiple ways to accumulate points.
HyperEVM powers Bounce Tech, a leveraged token platform that lets people get leveraged exposure to crypto assets without having to worry about managing margin positions or risking liquidations. Leveraged tokens keep a constant leverage ratio on their own, with underlying positions running through Hyperliquid perpetuals on HyperCore. You can trade BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, and PAXG as leveraged tokens on the Bounce Tech dashboard. The main selling point of the platform is that it makes managing leverage easy. Users can get leveraged exposure by simply buying or selling a token. The platform is now in private beta. The details of the funding and the backers have not been made public.
Deluthium is an AI-native liquidity and execution infrastructure powered by Reinforcement Learning (RL). The platform operates as an autonomous Execution Engine that uses a Bilateral Sharding Mechanism to fragment orders and liquidity, protecting user intent while enabling scalable execution across DeFi markets. The core product is a privacy-first dark pool designed to eliminate slippage through RL-powered order routing. Unlike traditional DEX or aggregator models, Deluthium trains its execution model using real trading data, progressively improving fill quality as volume grows. The project is currently in Phase 1 (pre-mainnet), focused on building liquidity depth and training the RL model ahead of a full launch.
Yetch is a non-custodial trading terminal supporting 13+ blockchain networks from a single interface. It abstracts away the complexity of cross-chain trading — no manual bridging, no switching networks — allowing users to swap assets across chains without leaving the platform. The platform shares 20% of all generated trading fees with active traders each month, creating a direct revenue-sharing model tied to platform usage. This distinguishes Yetch from standard aggregators that capture fees without redistributing them to users.
Canopy Network is a layerless appchain framework that lets developers launch and scale sovereign Layer 1 blockchains without relying on traditional monolithic chains or cross-chain bridges. Builders can deploy customizable L1 appchains using built-in templates, with recursive security mechanisms aligning incentives across the ecosystem. The platform focuses on three core benefits: day-one scaling, sovereign customization, and recursive security. Appchains launched on Canopy can start as testnet L1s and graduate to fully sovereign chains. The testnet went live on February 12, 2026, with mainnet planned for later in 2026.
Trenches is a multiplayer trading game platform that lets players compete in PvP matches on real markets. Instead of trading alone, users enter structured game modes where outperforming other players earns them rewards and XP. The first game mode, Crucible, is launching soon after the platform’s February 2026 debut. The platform runs on a Credits system — an in-platform currency used to enter matches. Credits can be earned through gameplay and leveling up, so new users can start competing immediately without depositing funds. Credits are not withdrawable and exist purely to keep matches accessible and activity consistent. Trenches is one of the projects to emerge from the Hyperliquid community hackathon, giving it roots in one of the more active builder ecosystems in crypto. The platform has not disclosed funding details or notable backers beyond that, and is in its early phase with its core game loop still rolling out.
Status Network is a gasless Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built as part of the Linea consortium and powered by the existing $SNT token. The platform enables zero-gas transactions at scale while providing composable privacy features for users and applications. Core functionality centers on native yield generation from bridged assets and application fees, which funds network development and liquidity incentives. The network targets sustainable growth through a reputation-based governance system using KARMA tokens. Users bridge yield-bearing assets like ETH and stablecoins to earn native yield while contributing to a public funding pool that supports builders and liquidity providers.
Satsuma is a decentralized exchange built as the native liquidity layer on Citrea, a Bitcoin-based Layer 2 network. The platform enables users to trade Bitcoin-native assets like cBTC and stablecoins with minimal fees while maintaining self-custody. Satsuma addresses the liquidity fragmentation challenge in Bitcoin DeFi by providing a unified trading venue for BTC-backed assets. The DEX features automated liquidity management through ICHI Vaults, allowing passive yield generation without manual position adjustments. Users can swap assets, provide manual liquidity to pools, or deposit into managed vaults for optimized returns. Citrea’s infrastructure enables Ethereum-like DeFi capabilities while settling on Bitcoin’s mainnet.
PiP World is an AI platform that combines finance, Web3, and gamified engagement through its flagship product, Market Mavericks. The platform allows users to deploy AI agents in a simulated trading environment where they can experiment with strategies using virtual capital in real market conditions. Market Mavericks functions as a risk-free trading simulator where users compete on leaderboards while learning trading mechanics. The platform secured $10 million in seed funding from Exinity, positioning it as a credible player in the AI-powered finance education space. The game is currently live in beta, with a native token launch planned for the future. The platform targets users who want to develop trading skills without financial risk while earning XP and badges through consistent engagement. Users build teams of AI agents, track performance metrics, and compete against other traders in a gamified environment.

AI-powered no-code platform to design, backtest, and automate crypto trading strategies
zkSync Era is an Ethereum Layer 2 using zero-knowledge proofs to bundle transactions off-chain while maintaining security through cryptographic verification. The chain has emerged as a serious DeFi hub with protocols like SyncSwap (DEX, ~$40M TVL), Mute.io (DEX with yield farming), SpaceFi (yield optimizer), and Aave deployed on it. Unlike Arbitrum or Optimism which use optimistic rollups, zkSync's ZK architecture attracts developers focused on capital efficiency and scalability. The chain's low gas costs (typically $0.10-$0.50 per transaction) make it ideal for farming multiple protocols without burning capital on fees. Most importantly: zkSync itself has its ZK token, but the vast majority of major protocols haven't launched tokens yet. This means the chain is still in early airdrop season—participation now is documented on-chain and likely to be rewarded.
The zkSync ecosystem rewards consistent participation both at the protocol level and chain level. Many DeFi apps run points programs (SyncSwap's "Syncpoints," SpaceFi's reward system) that track user activity and almost certainly feed into future token distributions. Gas is cheap enough that you can interact with 5-10 protocols weekly without worrying about costs eating into your airdrop value. The key difference from farming Ethereum mainnet: you're not competing against millions of users, and TVL is concentrated enough that mid-sized positions still generate meaningful protocol rewards.
Start by bridging $500-$2000 of ETH to zkSync Era using the official bridge (takes ~20 minutes) or Orbiter Finance for speed (5-10 minutes, slightly higher fees). Once on-chain, split your capital roughly: 40% into a DEX swap pair (SyncSwap or Mute), 30% into lending (Aave or Linea's protocols if available), 20% into yield farming (SpaceFi), and 10% held as working capital for gas and new protocol testing. The critical habit: execute transactions every 3-5 days across different protocols. Don't dump everything into SyncSwap on day one—spread activity across at least 4 protocols to maximize exposure to multiple airdrops. Check protocol dashboards weekly to confirm your activity is being tracked; some systems require explicit "claim points" actions.
Timing matters on zkSync because the ZK token launched in June 2024, meaning airdrop eligibility was capped at that date. However, subsequent protocols launching (Aave did, others will) have fresh snapshots. Aim to be consistently active in weeks 1-4 of joining zkSync, then maintain minimum activity (one meaningful transaction per week) thereafter. Avoid common mistakes: don't leave funds sitting idle (no activity = no points), don't use only stablecoins (protocols reward ETH-paired activity more), and don't bridge during network congestion (zkSync averages low gas but spikes happen after mainnet activity surges). If a protocol introduces a new farming incentive or pool, test it within 48 hours—early participants in new incentive programs often receive bonus multipliers.
SyncSwap (DEX with active Syncpoints program), Aave (already launched token but may have zkSync-specific rewards), Mute.io (yield farming DEX), and SpaceFi (yield optimizer) are the highest TVL apps without fully distributed tokens. Any protocol with a points/reward dashboard and no announced tokenomics is a candidate. Check DefiLlama's zkSync page weekly for new protocol listings.
Start with $500-$1500 depending on your risk tolerance. This is enough to interact with 4-5 protocols meaningfully and generate consistent activity points. Smaller amounts ($100-$300) still work but limit your protocol diversification; larger amounts increase your airdrop value but also your loss risk if protocols underperform.
The official zkSync Bridge is free but slow (~20 minutes settlement). Orbiter Finance costs $2-$5 but settles in 5-10 minutes—worth it if you're farming time-sensitive incentives. Avoid Stargate or other bridging routes; they have higher slippage and aren't optimized for zkSync's ecosystem.
Aim for activity every 3-5 days across at least 2-3 different protocols. One transaction per week per protocol is minimum to stay active; three transactions per week signals genuine usage. Spread this across swaps, LP additions, and yield farming rather than repeating the same action.
Gas is extremely cheap: expect $0.10-$0.50 per transaction, even during peak times. Budget $20-$50 for a full month of farming across 5 protocols. Keep 0.1 ETH (~$200) in your zkSync wallet as working capital to cover gas without bridging extra funds constantly.
Forgetting to claim or confirm point accrual on protocol dashboards—some systems don't auto-track and require manual interaction. Also, using only stablecoins instead of ETH-paired liquidity; most protocols weight ETH activity higher in their reward mechanisms.
No. Farm now to establish early user status before major protocols snapshot for airdrops. The earliest cohort of users typically receives better airdrop treatment. You can always add positions to new protocols as they launch, but you can't retroactively add activity from months ago.
