Airdrop Calendar & Tracker — August 24–30, 2026

By Marcus Hale · Editor, Airdropstat · Published Sep 3, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026

Every project tracked this week, sorted by status. A project appears under Confirmed only if the team itself has announced the airdrop; once a date is published, it moves to Upcoming. Items under Rumored are market speculation and are marked unverified. Each row links to the source we checked — not to a claim page, which is where most phishing happens.

1. Live — claim windows open now

Project	Ecosystem	Eligibility essentials	Deadline	Source
Grass (Stage 2)	Solana / AI data	Bandwidth-sharing epochs; check via official portal	Jan 22, 2027 (hard)	Crypto World Headline
Midnight (NIGHT)	Cardano sidechain	Thawing tranches; claim via official redemption flow	Dec 4, 2026 + 90-day grace	CryptoCompass
Plume (Season 2)	Ethereum L2 / RWA	Season 2 activity-based eligibility	None published	Crypto World Headline
dappOS (DOS)	Intent-centric infra	Phase 2 claim; 6% of supply to community	None published	CryptoCompass
Arcium	Solana / MPC	Rolling distribution to eligible users	None (rolling)	Crypto World Headline
GRVT	Derivatives exchange	Season 1 + 2 points; 280M GRVT over 12 tranches	30 days per tranche	Crypto World Headline
Margex BTC pool	CEX promotion	$250K–$100M volume tiers during Jul 27–Aug 25	Claim by Sep 1	BingX
Gate CandyDrop	CEX promotion	Pre-Aug 25 registrants; futures volume candies	Sep 8, 2026	Gate
Gate CL/BZ/NG	CEX promotion	New futures traders + volume check-ins	Sep 4, 2026	Gate

Our take: read the deadline column as a priority list, not as a schedule. The four rows with no fixed end date (Plume, dappOS, Arcium, GRVT) are the ones worth acting on this week — you can claim them today at current gas, and there is no announced future date to plan around. The two with distant hard deadlines (Grass, Midnight) are calendar entries. The three exchange rows are promotions, not distributions, and their real cost is the trading volume or lockup they require rather than the gas to claim.

2. Upcoming — confirmed dates ahead

Project	Ecosystem	What is confirmed	Date	Source
Crypto.com RENDER Arena	CEX promotion	$150K RENDER pool; 1,500 CRO boost threshold	Aug 29 – Sep 28, 2026	SpendNode
OKX AEON Flash Deals Lite	CEX promotion	4.1M AEON pool; lock BTC/ETH/OKB/AEON	Event Aug 31 – Sep 5, 2026	Lookonchain
Flop Network (FLOP)	AI agent economy	Testnet-activity eligibility; DID key registration; ~20% supply earmarked (preliminary)	Q4 2026 snapshot (planned)	Lookonchain

Our take: the Upcoming tier is where the most interesting design work is happening. Flop Network's entry is the notable one — a Q4 snapshot with a published participation path but no published allocation, which means you can start qualifying without knowing what you are qualifying for. That is a defensible trade if the effort is near-zero (generating a DID key pair is) and indefensible if it is not. Crypto.com's and OKX's entries are the opposite: fully specified rewards, but the qualifying action is committing capital.

3. Confirmed — announced, no date yet

Project	Ecosystem	What is confirmed	Source
Propr (PROPR)	Hyperliquid prop trading	Genesis airdrop of 20% supply, fully unlocked at Aug 24 TGE; claim mechanics pending	CryptoCompass
Amadeus Protocol	DeFi infrastructure	Airdrop confirmed via AMA Hub Season 1; $AMA TGE targeted September 2026	Bitrue

Our take: two projects, two different kinds of incompleteness. Propr has generated its token — the supply exists — but has not published how a recipient receives it, which is an operational gap that grows more consequential every day it stays open. Amadeus has confirmed both the airdrop and a September TGE target, which is more information than most campaigns this cycle provide. If you are choosing where to spend attention, the second is the better-defined opportunity.

4. Rumored — market speculation, unverified

Project	Ecosystem	The rumor	Verification status
Lighter	Ethereum L2 / perps	Community expects a points-based airdrop at mainnet graduation	No official announcement; listed as "points farming" by Alpha Drops

Reminder. Rumored entries are not confirmed by the projects involved. Nothing on this row should be treated as a fact about timing, size, or eligibility. We list them only so readers know what the market is talking about — and what has not been verified.

5. How to read this tracker

Statuses move in one direction: Rumored → Confirmed → Upcoming → Live → Closed. A project only advances when the team itself publishes the news. Dates shown are the ones each source published; where a deadline is derived by arithmetic (like GRVT's 30-day tranche clocks), we say so. Every external link is nofollow and points to the source we checked, never to a claim page. For claiming, always go through the project's official domain.

FAQ

1. What is the difference between Confirmed and Rumored?

Confirmed means the project itself has announced the airdrop. Rumored means the market is discussing one, but the project has not verified anything. Rumored items are never presented as fact on this site.

2. Why do some live claims show no deadline?

Because the project has not published an end date. That is stated explicitly rather than estimated. Open-ended windows can close with little notice, so eligible users should generally claim early.

3. Are exchange promotions tracked the same way as protocol airdrops?

They are listed in the same calendar but labeled as CEX promotions. They reward platform activity such as trading volume or token lockups, not on-chain protocol usage.

4. Why does each row link to a source instead of a claim page?

Claim pages are the most common phishing target. Linking to editorial sources keeps verification in your hands: read the source, then navigate to the official domain yourself.

5. How often is this calendar updated?

Weekly. Each edition covers the status changes observed during that specific week, and prior editions remain archived below the current one.
