Did you score a LINEA airdrop allocation? Bankless was ahead of the curve, first flagging this potential token distribution in July 2023.

It’s safe to say we know airdrops. Our analyst team is constantly tracking them, and each month, we send a list of crypto’s hottest airdrop opportunities directly to subscriber inboxes. Over 150 promising airdrop opportunities are available 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 September👇

⚽ Football.fun

Website | Twitter

Built fully onchain using Base, Football.fun is a fantasy European football (soccer) platform designed with Web3 digital ownership principles in mind. Users own their players, which can be traded for valuable digital assets or used to dominate the competition.

Player shares can be purchased and sold using “gold” – an in-platform representation of deposited USDC – or pulled from packs using accumulated “tournament points” – an in-game performance reward.

When football players enter the pitch during a game, Football.fun users are charged “contracts” on their player to enter them into the tournament. Each player comes with 4 contracts, which can be extended with gold or by purchasing more player shares.

Although there is no formal indication that Football.fun will conduct an airdrop, website details indicate that early users will be rewarded at a later date. Users can earn more rewards by completing "Rep" objectives, having higher trade volume, and obtaining a higher Skill Rating.

🪙 Veda

Website | Twitter

A self-classified “DeFi vault primitive,” Veda assists other projects in building yield-generating products, such as crypto savings accounts or ecosystem incentives vaults. Veda vaults manage over $4.6B of crypto capital for blue-chip DeFi partners, including ether.fi and Lido.

By abstracting away the complexities of cross-chain operations, yield optimization, and risk management, Veda lowers the onchain barriers to yield harvesting for consumer and institutional participants alike.

In addition to helping its users qualify for third-party points distributions, Veda has an ongoing internal program that rewards depositors of select earn, stake, and other opportunities with Veda points, which may convert into liquid tokens at a later date.

✈️ Autopilot

Website | Twitter

Autopilot is an automated yield max protocol for Aerodrome. When users deposit veAERO to Autopilot, the system allocates votes to pools based on reward optimization; claims bribes, fees, and rebase rewards; converts rewards to USDC; and makes rewards available to claim anytime.

Users must deposit a minimum of 300 veAERO, and all supplied veAERO is automatically re-locked for the maximum duration of 4 years to maximize Aerodrome rewards and voting power throughout the lifetime of the deposit.

While Autopilot does not have an active points program or formal plans for an airdrop, other rewards maximization protocols built on DeFi primitives (like Convex and Aura) have previously distributed tokens to early users, creating precedent for Autopilot to conduct an airdrop.

  1. [quest 1013 “Purchase AERO”]
  2. [quest 1014 “Lock AERO for veAERO”]
  3. [quest 1011 “Deposit veAERO to Autopilot”]

🐢 Turtle

Website | Twitter

Turtle is a “distribution protocol” that tracks user activity – like onchain swapping, staking, and liquidity providing activities – to obtain “exclusive, backroom liquidity deals to boost yields” for over 300k enrolled user wallets.

With Turtle, users receive the same security benefits of interacting directly with the DeFi application of their choice, while obtaining enhanced yields when depositing through Turtle-curated deals, vaults, and campaigns.

Turtle is in the first season of an ongoing “Leaderboard” campaign. This program will allocate 0.2% of the TURTLE token supply to top participants at TGE.

  1. [quest 1001 “Register for Turtle”]
  2. [quest 1002 “Manage Turtle Account”]
  3. [quest 1000 “Deposit to Turtle Campaign”]
  4. [quest 1003 “Deposit to Turtle Deals and Vaults”]

🏦 3Jane

Website | Twitter

3Jane is a crypto-native, peer-to-peer consumer loan marketplace that connects lenders with borrowers seeking unsecured credit (no-collateral loans) underwritten against verifiable crypto/bank assets, future cash flows, and credit scores.

Prospective loans are underwritten using the 3Jane Credit Risk Algorithm (3CA), an offchain 3Jane-operated credit calculator that determines credit line details using an applicant’s “Jane Score” (creditworthiness) and liquid assets.

While 3Jane has yet to provide any details about an impending airdrop or points, this up-and-coming DeFi application could be a lucrative airdrop for lenders seeking heightened stablecoin yields and borrowers seeking zero-collateral loans.
