Airdrops the projects themselves have announced

An honest count

At the time of writing, 2 tracked campaigns are on this list. One has an official token plan and a running points programme; one has a recorded snapshot and a postponed distribution. Neither has an open claim. If you came here for a claim button, none exists in our verified data, and any page offering one for these projects should be treated as hostile.

We would rather show a short list than pad it. For the speculative end, see potential airdrops. For claims that already closed, see ended airdrops and the claims hub.

Two entries, two very different positions

The two campaigns here show why “confirmed” covers a wide range. Variational sits earlier on the path: its docs state a $VAR token in Q4 2026, with 32% of supply for points holders and 100% unlocked at launch, and weekly points are still being distributed. What is missing is the snapshot date, which means the points you earn this week may or may not be the ones counted. Jupiter sits later but has gone backwards: 700 million JUP was prepared for the final Jupuary round, a February 2026 DAO vote postponed it indefinitely, and the usage snapshot is retained without any claim window. One has a plan without rules; the other has rules and a snapshot without a distribution. Neither lets you act on a claim today, which is why we keep the two apart from any list of open claims.

Three tiers of confirmation

Not every official statement carries the same weight. We use a ladder, and the tier a campaign sits on tells you how much planning it can support. The ladder is editorial judgement.

1. Tier one: a statement of intent

   The project says a token or distribution is planned. This is better than a rumour and worse than rules. Example: Variational’s docs state that a token launches in the fourth quarter of 2026, with 32% of supply for points holders. There is no snapshot date and no points-to-token ratio, so you cannot calculate anything. Read the Variational page.

2. Tier two: published rules

   Eligibility, a snapshot or cut-off, and an allocation are written down. You can now check whether you qualify and estimate scale. Jupiter reached this tier for its 2026 round: the proposal set out a planned 200 million JUP initial distribution, a 200 million bonus pool and 300 million for Jupnet incentives. Then governance intervened, which shows that even this tier is conditional. Read the Jupiter page.

3. Tier three: a live claim

   There is an official checker and a claim page with a deadline. This is the only tier where you act on a transaction, and it is also the tier where fake pages appear. No tracked campaign is at this tier today. The closed claims in our data, such as Monad’s, show what it looks like: dates, a named checker domain and published results afterwards. Read the Monad page.

Reading a timeline without getting lost

Announcements tend to use four dates that sound similar but mean different things. Mixing them up is how people miss windows.

Snapshot

The moment eligibility is recorded. Anything you do afterwards does not count. Scroll’s first airdrop used a snapshot of 19 October 2024 at 00:00 UTC, and ZKsync’s used 24 March 2024.

TGE

The token generation event, when the token exists or is released. It can come before or after the snapshot, and some projects tie it to a milestone: MegaETH launched MEGA on 30 April 2026 after ten applications were deployed on 23 April.

Claim window

The period when you can collect. Celestia’s closed at 12:00 UTC on 17 October 2023, which is a time of day, not just a date. GRVT adds a registration deadline before the token and a 30-day window for each tranche.

Vesting

How the tokens unlock afterwards. Berachain’s docs describe a one-year cliff then a one-sixth unlock and 24 months of linear release. Kamino’s Season 4 rewards vest over six months, and claiming early forfeits part of the reward.

Variational shows why this matters. Its token is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026, but weekly points distributions conclude “no later than” the end of that quarter. That describes the end of earning, not the date of a snapshot. Until the project publishes the snapshot, any date you see on a social post is a guess. For sources on each date, the project pages list the exact documents we used.

Why dates move

Dates change for ordinary reasons, and our data has examples of each. Planning around the soft ones is easier than being surprised by them.

Governance decides

Jupiter’s annual airdrop was put to a DAO vote in February 2026, with the vote window of 17 to 21 February, and the outcome was an indefinite postponement. The proposal’s logic was market conditions, and the tokens move to a cold multisig that needs another vote to release. No date exists to plan around.

A milestone replaces the calendar

MegaETH tied its token launch to a KPI, not a date. When ten MegaMafia apps were deployed on 23 April 2026, the launch followed on 30 April. If a project ties timing to a metric, the date is whenever the metric is met.

The allocation changes after the announcement

Paradex announced 25% of supply for its genesis airdrop, and the Foundation later stated that XP repurchases of 4.4% reduced it to 20.6%. The date held, but the amount did not.

The window is stated loosely

Linea’s claim opened on 10 September 2025 for 90 days, yet the pages we opened do not state an exact end date. Optimism’s Airdrop 5 deadline is reported as October 2025, but the page body was not readable by our fetcher. When a window is loose, assume the earlier end.

The thread running through these is simple: the date on the official page today is the only date. Check it again on the day.

What to prepare before a claim opens

Most claim-day losses come from rushing. Preparation is dull, and it costs nothing. Keep everything on the list inside tools you already control.

Claim preparation checklist

0/8

• A wallet whose seed phrase only you hold, and which you can open without installing anything new on claim day.
• The official docs page for the airdrop saved as a bookmark, reached from a source you already trust, so you never search for it under pressure.
• The official checker domain written down from the project’s own docs, to compare character by character with the address bar.
• A small amount of the chain’s gas token in the receiving wallet, since claims are on-chain transactions on most networks.
• A note of which wallet addresses you used, and when, in case the rules refer to a snapshot.
• The claim deadline in your calendar, with the time zone from the official page, not the one you assume.
• Knowledge of the vesting terms, so you know what is locked and what is not before you sign.
• A plan to review and revoke any token approvals afterwards.

Reset

Wallet hygiene is worth a read before the day arrives: see burner wallets for airdrops, custodial versus non-custodial for what changes if tokens land on an exchange, and how to revoke approvals. If tokens arrive, airdrop tax basics explains why records matter.

What happens to unclaimed tokens

Terms for leftovers are part of the airdrop, and they differ. These are the outcomes documented in our data.

The lesson is the same in each row. Missing the window usually means the tokens are gone, and the project’s docs said so beforehand. If you are interested in how those windows closed, the ended list is a record of real outcomes. Our guide to legitimate airdrops covers how to confirm that a claim page is the project’s own, and the verification method explains why this list stays short.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a confirmed airdrop?

We use three tiers. The weakest is an official statement of intent, the middle is published rules with eligibility and a snapshot or cut-off, and the strongest is a live claim on an official page. A campaign appears here when the project itself has said something specific, not when rumours circulate.

Is a confirmed airdrop guaranteed to pay out?

No. Confirmation lowers uncertainty but does not remove it. Jupiter’s planned airdrop was postponed indefinitely after a DAO vote in February 2026, even though the usage snapshot was kept. Read confirmation as the project’s stated intention at the time, subject to governance, markets and its own terms.

What is the difference between a snapshot and a TGE?

A snapshot records who is eligible at a moment in time. A token generation event, or TGE, is when the token is created or released. A claim window is the period in which eligible users can collect their tokens, and vesting is how the tokens unlock afterwards. These four events can be weeks or months apart.

Why do airdrop dates change?

Teams move dates for technical readiness, market conditions, governance votes and security reviews. Our data shows a DAO vote postponing a planned airdrop, a launch tied to a milestone rather than a calendar date, and a project that cut its allocation after announcing it. Always plan with the date on the official page, not a cached one.

What happens to tokens nobody claims?

It depends on the project. In our data, Notcoin burned unclaimed balances, ZKsync never minted them and returned them to a governance-controlled supply, and GRVT forfeits allocations that were not registered by the deadline. The terms are published before the window closes, so read them first.
