There are 100 articles telling you what to farm — almost none written by real farmers. This is a no-BS guide from someone actually living off airdrops.
What matters, what doesn’t, and how to farm efficiently — in under 3 minutes.
Before we start, here are two of the biggest airdrop farming wisdoms:
When it comes to Airdrops 3 things matter:
How early are you?
How much capital do you have?
How many refs do you have?
To receive a decent airdrop, you must meet at least 1 out of the 3 criteria.
Also:
Projects that has raised millions in funding are not automatically a good airdrop. A good farming opportunity shows itself through several factors:
Time efficiency
Number of farmers
Profit potential (risk vs. reward)
Quality of the product and team
Capital lock-ups (red flag)
Based on that I created following tier list
Generational Wealth:
Backpack (@Backpack)
Backpack's last season (S4) is about to end in a week on Jan. 28. If you didn't start yet - leave it and focus on other Airdrops.
WEN: TGE should be in Q1/Q2 and 1 point could be worth up to $0.25 at $1B FDV
Cook:
Jupiter (@JupiterExchange )
Jupiter's last airdrop is coming in 10 days. You can ignore this one if you didn't start yet.
This year's Jupiter airdrop will distribute 200M $JUP Allocation (170M to fee payers & 30M to stakers)
Try to get some last minute volume
WEN: The snapshot for fee payers is on January 31st, and staking rewards are time-weighted (Airdrop should follow closely.
Meteora (@MeteoraAG)
S2 for Meteora started on 1st July 2025
You get points for DAMM V2 & DLMM, with 1,000 points given for every $1 in Fees (and the removal of the points from TVL)
This means focus is more on actual fees than TVL which is good news for shrimps. Meteora hat a ton of farmers in S1 who mostly all stopped using it now.
DLMM new memes (if market allows)
WEN: TBA (but much shorter than S1)
Loopscale (@Loopscale)
Loopscale is the most Pendle/Aave like platform we have on Solana and these have both a TVL of billions
Solana is pushing Loopscale as a platform too which is always a good sign
You get most points for looping. Just loop stablecoin pegged tokens like ONyc or HyUSD for 2-in-1 Airdrop
WEN: TBA (but expected to be later this year (Q2))
Farm Loopscale here
Titan (@Titan_Exchange)
Don't expect a Jupiter like Airdrop here!
Still, it can be very decent since the team is stacked and there’s basically no risk involved (just swapping).
Just collect badges (8 are already live) and keep notifications on, as some drops are FCFS. Badges are rumored to be worth $40–$80 each.
Important: Swap volume matters (refer your friends)
WEN: TBA but 2026
Farm Titan here
Bulk (@bulktrade)
Likely the best onchain perps dex Solana will see.
Testnet just went live (try to get access)
Hold Bulksol or even better loop it on Loopscale or provide liquidty ("Farm") on Exponent for higher APY, redacted points and 2-in-1 Airdrop
WEN: TBA (still early)
Solid Airdrop
Onre (@onrefinance)
OnRe is probably one of the safest yield bearing "stablecoins" out here
Loop ONyc on Loopscale (20%+ APY) for 2-in-1 Airdrop
WEN: TBA (but likely this year)
Farm OnRe here
xPlace (@xplaceapp)
The most advanced neobank aka debit/credit card in whole crypto (full article is coming soon)
But personally super bullish on them and heard rumors that an Airdrop could come later this year
WEN: very early but likely by end of this year
Kast (@KASTxyz)
OG debit card provider on Solana that teased Airdrop various times (also visible in wallet)
If you didn't start here I recommend you highly to go with xPlace above
WEN: Soon (Q2/Q3)
Hylo (@hylo_so)
Probably the example startup of 2025. Healthy cashflow and goated team.
Also very bullish that they don't market themselves just with Airdrop and points!
Best to do here is to use products (leverage without liquidation)
Loop HyUSD on Loopscale (30% APY) for 2-in-1 Airdrop
WEN: TBA (but likely summer)
Exponent (@ExponentFinance)
It looks like Exponent is winning the race for the #1 spot of the yield exchange of Solana
Exponent has no refs as well what makes it fair for everyone (saying this as a bigger account). Also they have never really teased an Airdrop which makes me even more bullish!!
Best is to just provide liquidity (Farm) bulkSOL or OnRe for 2-in-1 Airdrop
WEN: TBA (but likely 2026)
Pacifica (@pacifica_fi)
I don't see random perps platforms getting too much hype in 2026. There simply too many. Also pacifica is not onchain actually.
Still if you want to farm please use @SOL_Decoder's bot for faming it delta Neutral
WEN: TBA (but likely 2026)
Trojan (@TrojanOnSolana)
Normally not bullish on memecoin terminals when it comes to Airdrops but seems like Trojan really wants to give back (and they have a few $100M to give back lol)
This could be good in combination with Meteora S2
Trade memes (you can actually also just use it as a normal swap)
WEN: TBA (but likely Q2/Q3)
Project 0 (@project0)
If you believe or not I'm actually really bullish on Project 0 as they've built an amazing cross lending/borrowing platform for Solana DeFi
Thanks to them it's possible to farm 3 Airdrop with limited capital
You could borrow USD against hyUSD, loop that on OnRe market on Loopscale and farm even 4 porotocols
WEN: Q1
What should you prioritize NOW?
Bulk
Loopscale
Hylo
OnRe
Exponent
Meteora S2
Titan
xPlace
Ofc there are other good Airdrops too from this list which will covered another time.
Happy farming
