Airdrop Calendar & Tracker — Week of August 31 – September 6, 2026

By Marcus Hale · Editor, Airdropstat · Published Sep 7, 2026 · Updated Sep 7, 2026

Every project tracked this week, sorted by status. A project appears under Confirmed only when the project itself has published a commitment to distribute to users — a stated airdrop, or a supply allocation reserved for them; once a claim 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. Three deadlines fired on schedule this week (Margex, Gate CL/BZ/NG, GTech); they have moved out of the Live table.

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; DOS listed on OKX Sep 5	None published — listing event is the catalyst to watch	OKX, Crypto World Headline
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; tranche 2 mid-window	30 days per tranche	Crypto World Headline
Binance USD1 → WLFI	CEX promotion	Net USD1 across Spot/Funding/Margin/Futures; 1.2× boost at $300+ USD1 futures OI; hourly lowest-balance snapshots	Weekly payouts Sep 11 / 18 / 25 / Oct 2	PANews, Coinlive
Binance Alpha SOON Wave 3	CEX promotion	250 Alpha Points (−5 per 5 min while pool lasts); 166 SOON; 15-point claim cost	24h to confirm after claiming	BlockBeats
Crypto.com RENDER Arena	CEX promotion	$150K RENDER pool; 1,500 CRO boost threshold	Sep 28, 2026	SpendNode
Gate CandyDrop	CEX promotion	Pre-Aug 25 registrants; futures volume candies; 0.001 BTC/user cap	Sep 8, 2026	Gate
Linera (LNRA sale)	L1 infrastructure	Public sale on project website; $12M raised across 2 rounds	Sep 8, 2026	ICO Analytics

Within the protocol-only set we track separately — seven campaigns — two carry a printed deadline (Grass and Midnight); the rest run on clocks or without any published end date. The Live table below is broader, because it also carries exchange campaigns.

Our take: the deadline column is now a priority list with a twist: three of the eleven live rows close within days (CandyDrop, Linera, and SOON's pool clock), while the protocol trio with no fixed end date (Plume, dappOS, Arcium) remains the standing "act on what you know" set. The new row worth studying is Binance's USD1→WLFI — its deadline column is a series of dates, not one, which changes how you think about urgency: missing one weekly payout costs a week, not everything.

2. Upcoming — confirmed dates ahead

Project	Ecosystem	What is confirmed	Date	Source
Ethos Network (WHUF)	Reputation / Base	Auction (20% of supply) completed Sep 4; TGE next; 30-day lockup; 85–90% price guarantee for vouched tokens	TGE targeted Sep 8, 2026	Bitrue, PANews
ARC (Arc blockchain)	DeFi L1 / stablecoin	Public mainnet launch; $222M raised; TGE announcement may follow	Sep 16, 2026	ICO Analytics
Flop Network (FLOP)	AI agent economy	Testnet-activity eligibility; DID key registration; ~20% supply earmarked (preliminary)	Q4 2026 snapshot (planned)	Lookonchain
Amadeus Protocol ($AMA)	DeFi infrastructure	Airdrop confirmed via AMA Hub Season 1; TGE targeted	September 2026 (target)	Bitrue

Our take: Ethos is the row to watch because it is the only one where the distribution mechanics are fully specified end-to-end — auction done, TGE dated, lockup defined, guarantee published. That level of completeness is rare enough to be its own signal. ARC's September 16 mainnet remains a non-distribution event listed for context: a $222M-backed mainnet is an eligibility clock for the ecosystem around it, not a claim window.

3. Confirmed — allocation committed, no claim 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 still pending as of Sep 6	CryptoCompass
Hyperliquid (HYPE) Season 2?	Perps L1	38.888% of supply reserved for future emissions and community rewards; no Season 2 airdrop confirmed	HiperWire

Our take: Propr's claim-mechanics gap is now two weeks old — token generated August 24, no published route to receive it. Every additional day makes the eventual claim event messier, either through accumulated eligible-but-patient holders or through a quieter solution nobody announces. The Hyperliquid row stays as the standing marker: 38.888% reserved is a commitment to distribute something, someday, with no date and no form. Treat both rows as inventory, not 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
OKX "OPEN" & "MIRROR" airdrops	CEX promotion	Community posts circulate a September 8 Binance Alpha OPEN airdrop and a MIRROR first-come airdrop, citing unnamed schedules	No official announcement found in tracked sources; circulating via Binance Square community posts — unverified

Reminder. Rumored entries are not confirmed by the projects involved. Nothing on these rows should be treated as a fact about timing, size, or eligibility. The OKX/Binance Alpha community-post entries are the week's additions precisely because they are widely shared and fully unsourced — the pattern that most often precedes both real announcements and phony ones.

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.

Changes this week: Margex (closed Sep 1), Gate CL/BZ/NG (closed Sep 4), and GTech USDT (window closed Sep 6) left the Live table; Binance USD1→WLFI, SOON Wave 3, and the Linera sale entered it; Ethos entered at Upcoming after completing its auction and dating its TGE.

6. Tracker change log — what moved this week

Project	From	To	Trigger	Source
Binance USD1 → WLFI	—	Live	Official announcement Sep 3; campaign opens Sep 4	PANews
SOON Wave 3	—	Live	Binance Wallet opened the wave Sep 1 at 250 points	BlockBeats
Linera (LNRA)	—	Live	Public sale opened Sep 1	ICO Analytics
Ethos (WHUF)	—	Upcoming	Auction completed Sep 4; TGE targeted Sep 8	Bitrue
Margex BTC	Live	Closed	Claim window expired Sep 1	BingX
Gate CL/BZ/NG	Live	Closed	Event ended Sep 4	Gate
GTech Network	Live	Closed	USDT withdrawal window closed Sep 6	CryptoCompass

7. How we verify a Rumored entry

Rumored rows are the only place on this site where no project confirmation exists, so the standard for inclusion is deliberately narrow. A project reaches Rumored when (1) the market is actively discussing it, and (2) no official source has confirmed timing, size, or eligibility. We do not add rumors based on price action, anonymous posts alone, or "will probably airdrop" heuristics. When a project publishes something, it leaves this tier — upward if confirmed, downward if refuted.

This week's addition — Binance Square posts citing September 8 "OPEN" and "MIRROR" airdrops — is included precisely because it is widely shared and entirely unsourced. That combination is the most common precursor to both real announcements and phishing campaigns.

FAQ

1. What moved in or out of the tracker this week?

In: Binance USD1→WLFI (weekly payouts through Oct 2), Binance Alpha SOON Wave 3, and the Linera LNRA sale (through Sep 8). Out: Margex BTC (claims closed Sep 1), Gate CL/BZ/NG (closed Sep 4), and the GTech USDT withdrawal window (closed Sep 6). Ethos (WHUF) entered at Upcoming after completing its auction, with its September 8 TGE target.

2. Why is dappOS still listed as live if DOS is already trading on OKX?

Because the Phase 2 claim remains open and unpublished-end-date, per the tracked sources. The OKX listing event of September 5 is a separate acquisition route. We keep both facts on the row because the historical pattern is that open-ended claims close shortly after a major listing — the listing is the catalyst, not the close.

3. Why are community-post airdrop rumors listed at all?

Because they are widely shared, and readers will encounter them anyway. The Rumored tier exists to say plainly: this is circulating, it is unverified, and no tracked official source confirms it. The Binance Square posts citing September 8 "OPEN" and "MIRROR" airdrops are the textbook case — specific dates, zero sourcing.

4. 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.

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.

6. Where can I see what changed since last week?

In the tracker change log (Section 6): every project that entered the Live tier, exited it, or advanced between tiers, with the trigger and the source. Nothing moves tiers without a published trigger.

7. Why is Hyperliquid listed under Confirmed with no date?

Because 38.888% of HYPE supply is reserved for future emissions and community rewards — a published commitment to distribute something — with no Season 2 airdrop, date, or form confirmed. We list it as inventory, not opportunity, so readers are not surprised if a distribution is later announced.
