Drops
Drops (drops.bot, formerly AirdropHunt.fun) is a multi-chain airdrop checker: paste a wallet address, ENS name or Solana SNS name and it reports which tracked airdrops that address is eligible for, has already claimed, or has missed. It does not ask you to connect a wallet or sign anything. As of October 2026 the site says it tracks 415+ verified airdrops across 40+ networks, including 90+ on Solana. Scanning is free; seeing the full details of an eligible airdrop, and automatic monitoring with Telegram alerts, are paid.
It is not the same product as "Drops Bot" from DropsTab (formerly EtherDrops), a Telegram bot for crypto price alerts and wallet notifications that dates back to 2018. The two are often confused because they share a name.
How the Drops airdrop checker works
The Drops FAQ describes three steps: paste an address, see results, claim through verified links. Under the hood, Drops runs each tracked protocol's eligibility check against the address you entered and returns one line per airdrop, marked claimable, claimed, missed or expired. Drops says every eligibility request is routed through its own servers (proxied), so the protocols being checked don't see a request coming from you, and the addresses you check are not linked to each other.
Because it only reads public addresses, there is nothing to approve and no private key involved at any stage. Claiming still happens on the airdrop project's own site: Drops lists the official claim link, and you connect your wallet there, not on drops.bot.
The FAQ says Drops launched in its current form in June 2024. It is run by an EU-founded team that says it complies with GDPR and does not share user data with protocols, including for sybil hunting.
Solana airdrop checker
The Solana checker page covers 90+ Solana airdrops as of October 2026. It accepts Solana addresses and .sol (SNS) names. On Solana, its closest rivals are protocol-run checkers such as the Jupiter JUP$0.315-1.3% airdrop checker, which only covers distributions inside Jupiter's own portfolio view. Drops' advantage is breadth: one scan covers Solana alongside Ethereum and its layer 2s, so a user with wallets on several chains sees everything in one list.
Supported networks
Drops groups its coverage into eight network families: Ethereum and its layer 2s (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and others), Solana, Cosmos, Sui, Aptos, Starknet, Bitcoin and TON. Counting each layer 2 and Cosmos chain separately is how it reaches its "40+ networks" figure. The full list of supported airdrops is public.
Is Drops free? Drops pricing and Premium plans
Scanning any address is free and needs no account. If a scan finds eligible airdrops, Drops hides the details until you pay. You can either:
- Reveal one wallet with a one-time payment starting at $5, rising with the estimated value of what it found; or
- Subscribe to Premium, which reveals and continuously tracks your saved addresses and sends Telegram alerts when one becomes eligible for a new airdrop.
Premium tiers as of October 2026, billed yearly: Pleb (1 address) $43, Hunter (20 addresses) $91, Whale (50 addresses) $139. Monthly billing works out to roughly $9, $19 and $29 a month. Payment is in ETH, SOL, BTC or stablecoins through Boomfi, a UK crypto payments provider, with no wallet connection required. Users can cancel at any time; addresses beyond the plan limit stop being shown and monitored until they resubscribe.
Login is by Telegram only. Drops says this avoids collecting emails or phone numbers and lets the same account receive alerts.
A referral programme pays 20% of referred users' subscription fees.
Drops Telegram bot and alerts
The Telegram bot is the delivery channel for Premium: save your addresses on drops.bot, and Drops runs background checks as new airdrops are added, messaging you when one of your addresses qualifies. Drops says the bot sends only eligibility alerts, not marketing.
Free points checker and HyperEVM tracker
Two dashboards are free with no payment or wallet connection:
- The points checker shows an address's balance in protocol points programmes that may precede a token airdrop.
- The HyperEVM checker tracks activity and points across HyperEVM, HyperCore and Hyperliquid.
Drops also keeps an upcoming airdrops list of points programmes that haven't launched a token yet.
Drops airdrop API for developers
Drops sells a REST API for airdrop eligibility that returns claimable, claimed and missed airdrops for any address as JSON, across the same eight network families. Access is by API key requested from the team (via X or [email protected]), billed on prepaid credits, with an admin dashboard for usage and spend. The developer docs list a single base endpoint authenticated with an x-api-key header. Drops says Solscan, Etherscan and Blockscout use the API to show airdrop data on their explorers.
Who Drops is for
Drops suits people who have used many protocols across several wallets or chains and want to know whether they left tokens unclaimed: airdrop farmers, long-time DeFi users, and anyone who finds an old wallet. The Hunter and Whale tiers are priced per wallet for people running 20 or more addresses.
It is less useful if you hold one Solana wallet and use only a few protocols. A free scan will tell you whether anything is there. If something is, the protocol's own claim page, or Jupiter's checker for Jupiter distributions, may give you the same answer for free.
Is drops.bot safe? Risks and limitations
- No wallet risk from scanning. Drops reads public addresses and never asks for a connection, a signature or a seed phrase. Anything that asks for those while claiming to be Drops is not Drops; the site itself shows a "make sure the URL is www.drops.bot" warning, because airdrop tools are a common phishing target.
- Claim links are still a trust decision. Drops says it verifies claim links against official sources, but independent reviews, including CoinCodex's, advise confirming the link through the project's own channels before connecting a wallet. Claiming happens on third-party sites that Drops does not control.
- Coverage and accuracy vary. Results only cover airdrops in Drops' database, and the FAQ admits checks sometimes fail with "Failed to check eligibility" when a protocol changes how its eligibility check works. A clean scan doesn't prove you have nothing to claim.
- Paid reveal. The free scan shows that something is there, not what it is, so you pay before seeing the details. The reveal price scales with Drops' estimate of the airdrop's value, and that estimate can be wrong.
- Promoted farming campaigns. Drops' upcoming airdrops section links to points programmes through Drops referral pages and codes (for example a "DROPS20" boost code on one campaign), so these listings are partly commercial. Treat them as adverts, not recommendations.
- Privacy depends on Drops' word. The proxying and no-sharing claims come from Drops' own policy. There is no public audit of its infrastructure, and its single public GitHub repository holds a profile, not the product's code.
There are no smart contracts and no custody, so the usual on-chain risks (exploits, upgrade keys, locked funds) don't apply.
Drops vs other airdrop checkers
Drops publishes its own comparison pages against Bankless Claimables, Zerion, the Jupiter airdrop checker, AirdropScan, Airdropped.link, zkCodex, Airdrops.io, AirdropAlert, Airdrops.com and DeFiLlama. In short:
- Bankless Claimables is free and covers rewards beyond tokens across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism and Sui, with email alerts. It is the main free alternative; Drops tracks more chains and alerts on Telegram.
- AirdropScan is a freemium tracker with alerts and a farming-progress dashboard, with wallet limits that grow on paid plans. It is closest to Drops in model, covering Solana plus a long list of EVM chains.
- Jupiter's airdrop checker is free and official but covers only Jupiter-hosted Solana distributions.
- Airdropped.link checks Solana and EVM addresses but requires a free account; Drops scans without one.
- AirdropAlert and Airdrops.io are discovery and listing sites, not wallet scanners.
The verdict: Drops is the broadest no-connect scanner of the group. The trade-off is that its best features are paid, while Bankless Claimables and protocol checkers are free.
Unclaimed airdrops aren't the only value left in an old Solana wallet: empty token accounts each hold a small SOL rent deposit. Solana Compass runs a tool to close empty token accounts and get their rent deposits back, which does a different job from Drops. (Disclosure: that tool is ours.)
Drops history: from AirdropHunt.fun to drops.bot
The product launched as AirdropHunt.fun. Its X account (@AirdropHuntFun) and Farcaster handle were renamed when it became Drops at drops.bot, now @DropsBot on X. The FAQ dates the current airdrop tracker to June 2024. By October 2026 the site claimed more than 80,000 users, $450M+ in airdrops discovered, and an average of $650 found per user. These are Drops' own figures, not independently verified.
