⚡️Top Airdrops for September 2025
Use these to likely qualify for the biggest airdrops this year
Finding airdrop opportunities is something both DeFi novices and experts can do. It’s a necessary tactic in any DeFi user’s toolkit, especially when the market is cooling down.
Not every task is required, but these recommendations are designed to maximize your chances of an airdrop.
Some of the tasks are a one-time requirement, others are repeatable.
The question to ask yourself when qualifying for an airdrop is “what would a real user do?”. Follow the incentives of each protocol, and be curious about different features.
3 Tools to Hunt Airdrops
Use the Dynamo DeFi Crypto Tools List to accelerate & refine your research.
DefiLlama’s Airdrop dashboard is also extremely helpful. You can filter by chain or TVL, and sort by Category, Total Money Raised, or how long the protocol has been around.
Airdrops.io is still a helpful place to find airdrops.
