The inspiration for this article comes from Scribbler(@Defi_Scribbler)'s compilation "69 airdrops to farm in 2026". With the arrival of 2026, "airdrop farming" has set sail again, making it necessary to systematically review the projects worth participating in and the angles for interaction this year. However, the original text is more of a project list-style compilation, with less coverage of specific interaction paths and practical strategies.
Based on this, this article will further supplement and improve the interaction ideas and participation methods for each project on its framework. It is recommended to bookmark it for future reference, and I will continue to update more specific project strategies under this column. Due to the large amount of content, Odaily Planet Daily will share it with you in three parts. This is the first part, featuring a total of 18 potential airdrop projects for 2026.
