Crypto's macro uncertainty has been screwing prices, but tokenless protocols are still forging ahead!

Bankless is constantly covering new airdrops, and each month, we send a list of crypto’s hottest airdrop opportunities directly to subscriber inboxes. Over 100 promising airdrop opportunities can be found in the Airdrop Hunter, our comprehensive hub of airdrop alpha shared exclusively with Bankless Citizens!

Today, we’re recommending 5 must-hunt airdrops for the month of April 👇

🔌 SOCKET

Website | Twitter

SOCKET Protocol is a chain abstraction protocol that enables developers to build applications that can seamlessly interact across 300+ blockchain networks through chain abstraction. Its technology powers numerous popular crypto applications, including bridging service Bungee Exchange and perpetual trading platform Polynomial (each of which may conduct their own airdrops).

While SOCKET has made no promises that it will conduct an airdrop, a native token drop from it or its associated services could enable the message passing application to further decentralize.

🧜‍♂️ Avantis

Website | Twitter

Avantis is a perpetual futures exchange backed by leading crypto venture firms that offers up to 500x leverage on crypto assets, foreign currencies, precious metals, and commodities to traders on the Base network. While the Avantis exchange only accepts USDC for trading collateral, it offers an in-app money market via Morpho integration to enable depositors to borrow USDC margin against their crypto collateral.

Avantis experience points (XPs) are offchain representations of a user's onchain actions. They are non-tradeable and non-transferable, but represent a user's activity on the Avantis protocol and may position them for airdrop eligibility. On April 8, 2025, Avantis announced that its XP Season 2 will end on May 31 and that a foundation will be established shortly afterwards, both of which suggest an airdrop can be expected in the near future.

💱 HyperLend

Website | Twitter

HyperLend is a lending market deployed natively to HyperLiquid that currently offers markets for HYPE, wstHYPE, and UBTC. Through HyperLend, users can earn yield by lending assets and obtain leverage by borrowing against their deposits.

On April 4, HyperLend released a points program that introduced testnet points multipliers, NFT boosts, and tiered referral points bonuses. HyperLend users accrue XP daily, and these rewards convert into points on a weekly basis. Protocols that offer points to their users often do so with the intention to airdrop tokens at a later date.

😎 Lens

Website | Twitter

Lens took the next step in its SocialFi journey on April 4 with the deployment of the Lens Chain, an independent blockchain powered by ZKsync that employs account abstraction and utilizes Aave’s GHO stablecoin for gas payments.

As a decentralized network, Lens relies on a variety of third-party frontends and applications to enable users to publish content and make onchain interactions. Exploring suggested Lens applications may enable users to position themselves for a future Lens airdrop.

While Lens has provided no indication that it will conduct a future airdrop, a native token launch is always a possibility, particularly now that the Lens Chain has been deployed. Further, users of the platform may position themselves to receive various memecoins, like BONSAI, a play that attempted to mimic Farcaster's DEGEN phenomena.

🪣 Concrete

Website | Twitter

Concrete is a vault protocol that allows users to deposit popular crypto tokens and earn automated yield across various dApps, such as Morpho and Corn.

Each whitelisted Concrete vault opportunity includes Concrete points incentives in addition to rewards offered through the underlying deposit opportunity. While detailed information about the Concrete points program was not available at the time of this analysis, Concrete users will likely become eligible for various airdrops by accumulating points.
