Best Upcoming ICO Airdrops for DeFi Users?

[Arizona]

Great post, really appreciate you sharing this. It’s smart to stay ahead with early engagement, especially given how many protocols reward DeFi yield farmers through snapshots and airdrops. Building a list like this could be super valuable for the community. Looking forward to seeing what others add and sharing any alpha I come across as well. Keep it up!

Compared to previous market cycles, the trend of rewarding early DeFi yield farmers through ICO airdrops like OP and ARB has become more selective and strategic. Projects now tend to focus on rewarding genuinely active users who contribute to protocol growth rather than just passive liquidity providers. It’s clear that interacting with new or evolving contracts ahead of official launches remains a solid way to position oneself for potential snapshots, but the window for easy airdrops is narrowing as protocols mature and competition increases. Staying ahead requires careful monitoring of emerging projects and their governance signals to catch these opportunities early.

Definitely worth farming smart—there’s chatter around LayerZero, zkSync, and Ether.fi potentially rewarding active users. Focus on bridging, LPing, or staking via official UIs. Also keep an eye on Blast ecosystem projects and newer L2s like Mode and Berachain. Snapshots are stealthy—early interaction is often the only ticket in.

Absolutely—yield farmers should watch for upcoming airdrops from LayerZero, zkSync, Ether.fi, Berachain, and Mode. These projects are actively tracking user engagement, especially LPs and bridgers. Prioritize official front-end usage and multi-week interactions. Snapshot timing is opaque, so consistent activity across ecosystems is key to staying eligible and maximizing rewards.

If you're yield farming without aiming for airdrops, you're leaving bags on the table. LayerZero, zkSync, Berachain, and Mode are practically screaming “farm me.” LP, TG Casino, bridge—whatever it takes. Snapshots hit without warning, so interaction ≠ speculation anymore—it’s strategy. Play smart now, or watch others claim what you seeded.

I’ve been wondering the same—feels like the OP and ARB days rewarded actual DeFi farmers, but now airdrops seem more geared toward whales and sybil grinders.


Are there any legit protocols doing snapshots for LPs or active users right now? Would love to know which contracts are worth interacting with to stay ahead of the next wave of DeFi airdrops.

Exactly—airdrop meta shifted hard, but there are still gems rewarding real usage. Keep an eye on projects like Ambient and KelpDAO; their LP incentives and on-chain metrics hint at future snapshots.
