The Ultimate Q4 2025 Airdrop Farming Guide

Missed $ASTER, $XPL & $APEX?

The good news is - we're seeing an airdrop renaissance (and it's never been easier to capitalise).

Over the past week, I've been building a watchlist of the biggest airdrop farming opportunities.

🧵: My Ultimate Q4 2025 Airdrop Farming Guide.👇

I've been refining my personal strategy to capitalise on these upcoming opportunities, and today, I'm sharing the full playbook with you.

In this thread, I'll break down:

• My Top 5 airdrops to farm
• The different strategies to use
• How to find big airdrops yourself

1. @Plasma

Probably one of the best ecosystems to farm in crypto right now, especially if you're stablecoin heavy.

This video from @phtevenstrong does a great job at summarising the best strategies.

2. @Lighter_xyz

The analysts in @mileshighclub_ have been farming this one since April (ggs to everyone who caught it).

You can earn points by directly trading on the Lighter DEX.

They're already estimated to be worth $50+ per point!

Points are now harder to come by (so the opportunity isn't as big as it was), but there is still an interesting strategy coming from Lighter<>HyperEVM, which can help you double up.

3. @edgeX_exchange

I've been seeing this one everywhere on CT, and it's already doing huge volume.

I see a lot of people talking about farming volume, but there's another interesting aspect, which is parking cash (and using it as trade collateral):

• Park idle cash for points.
• Capital can still be used as trade collateral.
• Vaults are yielding 11% APR + points.

4. @tradeparadex

This could be one of the best R/R farms right now:

• 20% of the supply is confirmed for an airdrop.
• TGE is before Jan 31st (<4 months away).
• It has low farming mindshare right now.

The focus is on exotic markets (perp options), so it stands out. Vaults are capped, so the main play is volume on their exotic markets.

5. @extendedapp

This airdrop opportunity is in its early stages, but it has strong future growth potential.

What you need to know now:

• Built by an ex-Revolut team & strongly supported by Starkware.
• Bringing TradFi asset trading to DeFi.
• It's illiquid now because it's still early (that's the opportunity).

Vaults have a high APR but are currently capped- keep an eye on it.

6. @Aster_DEX

Everyone saw the massive run on this one and thinks they're too late.

You're not.

Here's why farming on Aster is still worth adding to your watchlist:

• Season 2 is live right now.
• 4% of the total supply is being awarded.
• The valuation is huge, so the S2 pie is still massive.

The play is simple: Open delta-neutral positions to farm points risk-free.

@AzFlin has an excellent breakdown of S2 on @Aster_DEX below:

If you're looking for even more upcoming opportunities, you'll want to bookmark this post from @ahboyash below.

I'm personally looking to farm multiple TGEs on his list.

We're in an abundant period for new launches; it's your job to capitalise.

Pro tip to find new airdrop opportunities before anyone else:

I use this two-step system often:

1. Scan @DefiLlama "airdrops" tab daily (do a quick scan to work out if the project is interesting/legitimate.

2. If a protocol looks interesting, search it on @CryptoRank_io to see who's backing it.

The reason this works so well is simple: The biggest airdrops are always those with the most funding.

Along with the simple system above, you can use the new SuperGrok models to see exactly what airdrops people are talking about on 𝕏.

I like to prompt for daily/weekly research reports, and it's way easier/faster than manually scanning 𝕏 yourself.

A general tip for airdrop farming:

Organisation is key.

Use Notion/Spreadsheets/Obsidian (anything that works for you) to keep track of all TGE events and regular protocol interactions.

Pick regular slots each week where you tick off certain tasks. That way you

You can only farm so many projects at once - your focus needs to be on the ones with the highest upside.
