PLAY OF THE WEEK
The Top Airdrop Hunts of April 2026
Bankless Analyst: Jack Inabinet

As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.”

That proverb translates cleanly into crypto, where seeds sown by users testing onchain products today can blossom into tomorrow’s airdrops! Nothing is guaranteed when it coes to airdrops, but history has consistently demonstrated that users often end up on the right side of token distributions by arriving early.

At Bankless, we’re on constant airdrop watch, surfacing the most promising plays and delivering them straight to subscribers every month. We compile this alpha inside Airdrop Hunter, where you can find nearly 200 curated opportunities with step-by-step hunting guides.

Today, we’re spotlighting five mature crypto applications with long-promised potential for airdrop upside that you can interact with right now. 👇

🦎 Jumper Exchange

Website | Twitter

About:
Jumper Exchange is a cross-chain "everything exchange" and bridge aggregator developed by LI.FI protocol that simplifies swapping and bridging assets across 50+ blockchains.

It supports any-2-any swaps by aggregating bridges and connecting them to DEX aggregators, providing users with the ability to see multiple quotes from different bridge providers and allowing them to select a route that best suits their bridging fee and time preferences.

Jumper Exchange is also embedded as an in-app widget across third-party crypto platforms, giving users a native, seamless experience for swapping and bridging directly within those interfaces.

Why We’re Watching:
Discord messages dating back to early 2023 indicate that Jumper Exchange creator LI.FI previously airdropped soulbound LZRD tokens to early community participants. Additionally, Jumper Exchange continues to actively reward user activity with XP points as part of its long-running “Jumper Pass” loyalty program.

In light of recent regulatory clarity promised by President Trump’s SEC, this collective evidence distribution bodes well for the prospects of a future token airdrop.
