Crypto’s Free Lunch: 3 Must-Claim Airdrops Before May Ends
Crypto degens, sharpen those MetaMask fingers—this week’s juiciest airdrops won’t last forever. Here’s what’s actually worth your gas fees.
1. LayerZero’s Zombie Token Revival
Post-mainnet hype meets desperate tokenomics. Early adopters who bridged chains get first dibs—assuming the team doesn’t rug-pull before distribution.
2. EigenLayer’s Points Ponzi Pays Out
That restaking play you forgot about? Turns out your ’loyalty points’ convert to real tokens this week. Too bad the VCs already dumped theirs.
3. Arbitrum’s DAO Bribery Scheme
Governance token #427 drops for delegates who voted ’yes’ on last month’s proposal. Fun fact: the ’no’ voters get nothing—democracy in action.
Remember kids: in crypto, ’free money’ always comes with a 300% APY catch. Happy farming before the SEC ruins the party.
Hedra
Hedra is one of the crypto airdrops this week. It is a blockchain service focused on decentralized identity and data sovereignty. The project aims to empower users with control over their digital assets.
Though not officially confirmed, its potential airdrop sparks interest due to Hedra’s novel approach to privacy and interoperability. The interest comes after the project raised $42 million from backers such as Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Index Ventures, and Abstract Ventures.
On May 15, Hedra raised a $32 million investment, bringing its valuation to $200 million.
“We’re excited to share that Hedra has raised a $32 million Series A led by a16z, with Matt Bornstein joining the board. Existing investors, including a16z speedrun, Abstract, and Index Ventures, are also participating in the round,” Hedra Labs shared on X (Twitter).
Crypto participants should monitor Hedra’s testnet activities, engage in community tasks, and hold compatible wallets to maximize eligibility. Eligibility also entails interacting with the project by creating graphic content with AI.
According to Cryptorank.io, when they sign up, Hedra users get 300 credits to spend on creating pictures and videos.
Sonic
Sonic, a Layer-1 blockchain (formerly Fantom), will offer a confirmed airdrop of 190.5 million S tokens starting June 2025. This comes after the project raised $101.54 million from backers such as Galaxy, Hashed Fund, Arrington XRP, Softbank, Aave, and Signum Capital.
Eligibility is based on earning Sonic Points through holding whitelisted assets (Passive Points) or decentralized finance (DeFi) activities (Activity Points) in Web3 wallets like MetaMask.
The airdrop distributes 25% of tokens immediately, with 75% vesting over 270 days via NFT airdrops. Recipients can trade these later or burn them for early access.
Sonic also announced the Sonic Shards NFT mint to users collecting shards deemed eligible for mint. The project is also running an active campaign with points farming.
“Shards. If you know, you know,” wrote Sonic Labs in a post.
Sonic airdrop farmers should track points via Sonic’s dashboard and engage in testnet tasks or Sonic Arcade.
BeInCrypto data shows Sonic’s S token was trading for $0.48897, down by over 4% in the last 24 hours.
OneFootball
Another crypto airdrop to watch this week concerns OneFootball, a blockchain-based platform for football fans. It offers rewards via its OFC token and comes after a $307 million capital raise.
Project backers include Union Square, Dapper Labs, Adidas, and Animoca Brands. OFC’s airdrop is in its second season and emphasizes fan engagement.
“Introducing OFC: Powering OneFootball on Base. We’re excited to announce OneFootball Credits ($OFC), the official token of OneFootball! Launching as an ERC-20 token, OFC operates on both ethereum and Base,” OneFootball Club announced.
OneFootball’s airdrop campaign involves earning BALLS by completing daily check-ins, engaging social media, and playing games like OFC Champion.
These BALLS may convert to OFC post-Token Generation Event (TGE). Participants need a MetaMask wallet and should join via referral links for bonus BALLS.
With crypto airdrops offering participants early entry to promising projects, it is imperative to verify eligibility and be aware of phishing scams.
