October 2025 Airdrops You Can’t Afford to Ignore

October has become one of the most lucrative months of the year for crypto hunters. Across decentralized trading, real‑world assets, AI compute and social finance, projects have been rolling out waitlists, testnets and points programs that reward early participation. This article compiles the AirdropBuzz guides published in October 2025 along with a few campaigns ending soon. For each project you’ll find a succinct description, why it matters and how to get started. Use these insights to focus your time on the drops most likely to pay off.

Quick‑Look Table

Below is a snapshot of the projects discussed in this guide. Use it to quickly compare the focus of each campaign and the key actions required. Full details follow in the sections below.

Duffle – Tokenised Finance Hub

Duffle is on a mission to simplify decentralised finance by aggregating tokenised products into one intuitive dashboard. Think of it as a crypto brokerage where you can track yield‑farming positions, buy tokenised treasury bills and earn points at the same time. The Miles program launched in October to reward early testers. After connecting your X/Twitter account and verifying your email, you can start accruing Miles by exploring the platform’s interface and sharing it with friends. These points will be redeemable for rewards or token allocations when Duffle goes live. Because tokenised finance is still nascent, being on the ground floor could yield generous distributions later.

Key tasks

• Visit the waitlist page and sign up with your X/Twitter account and email.

• Complete profile‑setup tasks to begin earning Miles.

• Refer friends to multiply your points.

Teneo Protocol – Testnet for Decentralised AI Agents

Teneo is building a decentralised network of autonomous AI agents that will act on behalf of users and applications. In early October it opened its Silver Ticket testnet. Participants first sign up on the official portal, generate a unique machine ID and mint a Silver Ticket NFT; active contributors may later upgrade to a Golden Ticket. You then install the Teneo node extension to run local AI agents. Tasks include connecting your social accounts (X, Discord, etc.), minting additional tickets, inviting friends and keeping the node online. All these activities earn Teneo points, the currency expected to convert into $TENEO tokens at launch. With AI infrastructure adoption surging, early Teneo testers could be handsomely rewarded.

Key tasks

• Create an account and generate a machine ID.

• Mint a Silver Ticket and, if possible, a Golden Ticket (limited supply) to unlock higher rewards.

• Install the Teneo node extension and run it to process AI tasks.

• Link your socials, complete missions on the dashboard and refer others to earn bonus points.

UMI Network’s Odyssey Quests – Daily, Weekly & Special XP

UMI Network combines Ethereum security with the MoveVM from Aptos, positioning itself as a cross‑VM Layer 2. Its Odyssey campaign gamifies participation through three categories of quests:

1. Daily quests – simple actions like following UMI on X or interacting with its bridge. These reset every 24 hours.

2. Weekly quests – deeper tasks such as trading on the testnet or staking tokens. They refresh weekly and yield more XP.

3. Special quests – time‑limited events around product launches or promotions, often giving the highest rewards.

Participants earn XP and gUMI tokens, both of which may translate into governance tokens later. A three‑tier referral structure (50 %/25 %/10 % of your referees’ XP) incentivises network growth. To begin, connect your wallet, verify your humanity through a simple CAPTCHA and start completing quests. UMI’s unified VM approach makes it an intriguing early play in the Layer‑2 space.

Key tasks

• Connect your wallet and pass the initial human‑verification step.

• Complete daily, weekly and special quests from the dashboard.

• Share your referral link to boost XP earnings.

Pharos Network – Free NFT Mint & Incentivised Testnet

Pharos Network aims to become the leading Layer 1 for Real‑World Assets (RWA) by combining institutional‑grade features with modular parallelism. In October it launched a free “Grandline World” NFT mint, which doubles as an onboarding mission into its incentivised testnet. After adding the Pharos testnet RPC to MetaMask or Bitget Wallet, users claim testnet PHRS tokens from the faucet, mint the NFT and then complete a series of on‑chain tasks such as swaps on FaroSwap, liquidity provision, domain minting via Pharos Name Service and bridging with Fiamma. Daily check‑ins and social activities on platforms like Galxe further boost your XP. The testnet runs until 31 December 2025, after which a confirmed $PHRS airdrop will be distributed.

Key tasks

• Add the Pharos testnet to your wallet and claim PHRS tokens from the faucet.

• Mint the Grandline World NFT to initialise your on‑chain activity.

• Perform testnet tasks: swaps, liquidity, domain minting and bridging.

• Check in daily and participate in social/referral missions until the campaign ends on 31 December 2025.

Psy Protocol – Claim Psy Points on a Proof‑of‑Useful‑Work Chain

Psy Protocol is a Layer‑1 blockchain that rebrands the QED network and introduces Proof‑of‑Useful‑Work (PoUW). Instead of idle hashing, nodes generate proofs of real computational work, enabling high throughput with Bitcoin‑like security. The Psychonaut Incubation Program invites testers to earn Psy Points that may convert to tokens. Sign up through the official portal, connect your wallet or email, and complete on‑chain activities like deploying sample contracts and using dApps. Linking your X and Discord accounts, joining Telegram groups and retweeting announcements also add points. Daily check‑ins and leaderboard tracking encourage sustained participation. Backers include Blockchain Capital and StarkWare, signalling strong momentum for the project.

Key tasks

• Sign up on the Psy portal and connect your wallet.

• Complete on‑chain tasks (deploy contracts, use dApps) and off‑chain social quests.

• Check in daily to maintain streaks and climb the leaderboard.

StandX – Yield‑Bearing Stablecoin on BNB Chain

StandX is a perpetual futures DEX on BNB chain that introduces $DUSD, a yield‑bearing stablecoin. The Pre‑Deposit campaign runs until 31 October 2025 and offers a confirmed airdrop based on your point total. Users mint $DUSD from USDT or USDC and earn 1 point per $DUSD per day just for holding. Providing liquidity on PancakeSwap yields 1.1×–1.4× multipliers, trading volume generates additional points (10 % of volume) and referrals add 5 % of your referees’ points. There are no minimum deposits and funds are never locked; you can withdraw anytime while still accruing points. This transparent system ensures early participants capture a larger share of the reward pool.

Key tasks

• Use the official link to join the campaign with referral code airdropbuzz for a bonus.

• Acquire USDT/USDC on BNB chain, connect your wallet and mint $DUSD.

• Hold $DUSD to earn points; provide liquidity, trade and invite friends to maximise multipliers.

GRVT Season 2 – Hybrid Exchange Rewards

GRVT (pronounced “gravity”) is a hybrid exchange fusing CEX‑level speed with on‑chain transparency. After raising an additional US$19 million (for a total of US$33 million) the team launched Season 2 of its rewards program. A full 20 % of the token supply is reserved for Season 1 and 2 participants. Joining is straightforward: sign up using your email, deposit funds, trade on the platform and optionally invest in “strategies” or refer friends. Points are distributed every Tuesday based on weekly activity; higher volume yields larger allocations. Maker and taker fees (0.01 % and 0.055 %) remain competitive. With a clear roadmap and generous allocation, GRVT’s drop could be one of the biggest of the year.

Key tasks

• Sign up using the referral code 5VJQFGK on the official site.

• Deposit funds and begin trading to accumulate weekly points.

• Participate in investment strategies or competitions, invite friends and stay active each week.

Bullpen – Multi‑Chain Trading & Social Rewards

Bullpen aggregates trading across Solana and Hyperliquid into a single interface and overlays a social layer. Co‑founded by influential trader Ansem, Bullpen is backed by 6th Man Ventures, Delphi Digital, Manifold Trading and Spartan Group. The points program launched in May 2025 with a 100 million cap. Roughly 70 million points remain as of early October. Points accrue automatically based on trading volume, competition results, social engagement and referrals. The platform recently transitioned to Season 3, emitting points weekly to reward consistent activity. According to trading alerts, Season 2 closed in early October and only about US$1 million in volume was needed to reach the top‑50 leaderboard spot, hinting that early participation pays outsized dividends. While Bullpen hasn’t announced a token launch date, acquisition of the $BULL ticker strongly suggests a future airdrop.

Key tasks

• Register using your Gmail or X account and fund your wallet with SOL or USDC (supports Solana and Hyperliquid deposits).

• Trade meme coins, perpetual futures or spot markets to earn points.

• Link your X account to share performance and gain social bonuses.

• Refer friends and compete in trading contests to climb the leaderboard.

Kaisar Network – Decentralised GPU Market

Kaisar solves the AI compute shortage by aggregating idle GPUs and rewarding contributors. Built on the peaq blockchain, it uses Proof of Physical Work to verify that machines perform real computations. Users participate through the ZeroNode browser extension. Daily check‑ins, mission completions and referrals earn points, and lucky‑draw tickets provide chances to win $USDT, $KAI and special NFTs. Those with dedicated graphics cards can become Provider nodes, while others can run lightweight Checker nodes that audit providers. The KAI token has a fixed 1 billion supply with deflationary emissions and governance rights. The project has attracted over 500,000 users and strongly hinted that early verifiers will receive airdrops.

Key tasks

• Create a Kaisar account and install the ZeroNode extension.

• Complete verification by linking your peaq wallet and enabling two‑factor authentication.

• Log in daily, finish missions and invite friends.

• Consider running a Provider or Checker node if you have spare GPU capacity.

DAWN Protocol – Decentralised Wireless Internet

DAWN is building a mesh network of small robotic antennas that turn households into internet providers. The protocol utilises 60 GHz mmWave spectrum and a novel consensus called Proof of Backhaul to validate bandwidth supply. Its rewards program is based on a Validator browser extension: keep the extension online to earn up to 1,440 points per day, complete social tasks on X, Discord and Telegram (5,000 points each) and refer friends for a 20 % share of their points. A published tokenomics model allocates 25 % of the 1 billion $DAWN supply to the community, strongly signalling that points will convert to tokens. Because DAWN is literally building infrastructure, tokens could have tangible value as bandwidth credits.

Key tasks

• Download the DAWN Validator extension and register with a referral code.

• Keep the extension online to accumulate points; uptime is paramount.

• Complete social tasks and share your referral link to boost earnings.

Echo – Solana Tipping Made Fun

Echo turns your X/Twitter handle into a crypto wallet address, making it easy to tip friends or creators. Built on Solana, it offers near‑instant transfers and negligible fees. In October Echo rolled out a farming app: sign up via X, create a Passkeys wallet, deposit 1–10 USDC and send a $1 tip to get started. Additional points come from completing tasks (tweeting, tipping others, sharing referral links) and engaging with Echo’s official posts. The app emphasises simplicity — tasks take seconds — and early users have the best odds for a future token drop.

Key tasks

• Sign up using your X account and set up a Passkeys wallet.

• Deposit a few USDC and send at least one $1 tip.

• Complete daily tasks and invite friends for extra points.

Dreamcash – Mobile‑First Trading on Hyperliquid

Dreamcash is designing a sleek, mobile‑first trading app built on Hyperliquid. It marries DeFi self‑custody with centralised exchange speed by placing orders directly on the Hyperliquid DEX. Early adopters can join the waitlist and enter referral code 18M0V4 for 10,000 bonus points. Points accumulate passively on the waitlist and are boosted by daily claims, sending referral invites and customizing your referral card. A new feature awards a golden icon to users who invite five friends, signaling status within the app. When Dreamcash launches publicly, point balances will likely determine token allocations or VIP access.

Key tasks

• Download the Dreamcash app and join the waitlist.

• Enter referral code 18M0V4 to receive 10,000 bonus points.

• Claim daily points, invite friends and customise your referral card.

Today App – Social Trading Meets Hyperliquid

Today is a social trading app that aims to make DeFi feel like a mobile game. Built on Hyperliquid, it features one‑tap order execution, an AI co‑pilot that suggests trades and biometric login via Face ID. While the native token is unannounced, the team launched a waitlist where early signups receive a unique referral link. Inviting friends boosts your rank; top referrers are slated to receive 25 HYPE tokens. This synergy with Hyperliquid’s HYPE ecosystem implies that participants might receive additional rewards once the token launches. As social trading gains popularity, Today could attract large user numbers.

Key tasks

• Join the waitlist using your email and claim your unique referral link.

• Share the link widely; the higher you rank, the more HYPE tokens you’ll earn.

Putting It All Together

October’s drops span a broad spectrum — from tokenised finance and AI compute to DePIN infrastructure and social tipping. Choose a mix: a high‑effort testnet like Teneo or Pharos for larger potential rewards, a waitlist app like Dreamcash or Today for passive points and a trading platform like Bullpen or GRVT for volume‑driven bonuses. Early and consistent participation is the single most important factor; most points programs favour users who start early and maintain activity. Don’t overextend yourself — focus on two or three campaigns you can commit to. And always practice security: verify official links, beware of scams and use separate wallets for farming. By doing so, you’ll maximise your odds of turning these October opportunities into future token windfalls.
