The author reviews the performance of Solana airdrops, with BP and SLX standing out, while other airdrops have mixed results.
Exactly five months ago, I dropped my Solana Airdrop Tier List for 2026.
Now let's check the handful of airdrops that actually happened so far 👇
▶️ @Backpack (Initial rank: Generational Wealth)
$BP’s TGE left a lot of users and Mad Lads holders underwhelmed. But the last two weeks flipped the script: price is up 200%+ after Backpack launched 1:1 redeemable equities with $SPCX and others. If you didn't sell, this could keep cooking over the next few months.
▶️ @humafinance (Initial rank: High-Impact Growth)
Huma keeps paying quarterly via extra $HUMA allocations for users holding active positions. Reward multipliers are smaller now, so my original rank was probably a touch too optimistic.
▶️ @solsticefi (Initial rank: Solid Mid-Tier)
Solstice's May TGE was a win. $SLX more than doubled its initial market cap and is trading at ATH. Power users and Xeet yappers pulled huge allocations. This clearly outperformed "Solid Mid-Tier".
▶️ @kamino (Initial rank: Solid Mid-Tier)
Kamino ended $KMNO emissions after Season 5 (still vesting), and allocations have been pretty small. I got this one wrong.
▶️ @Lombard_Finance (Initial rank: Solid Mid-Tier)
Season 2 $BARD rewards dropped in March, exactly as expected: solid mid-tier. Not life-changing, but a nice add-on.
