The Most Profitable Crypto Airdrops of the Week: Week 37

Crypto Airdrops in Week 37: These Deadlines Are Running Now

The hardest deadline this week concerns tokens that have long been sitting in the account. Anyone holding Beldex or Humanity at the crypto exchange Kraken in June had the replacement token credited automatically by airdrop – and has to withdraw it by September 25, 2026 at 14:00 UTC, otherwise the exchange liquidates it itself. An airdrop you never had to claim can therefore still expire.

And a warning up front that has shaped this edition: among the most frequently named “current” airdrops of the week in search engines is the genesis claim of Holoworld AI, supposedly starting on September 11. The project's post about it, however, dates from September 9, 2025, and the 60-day claim window expired in November 2025. In this format a year in the date costs the entire entry. With every airdrop tip you read anywhere, check the year first.

This overview lists the airdrops for which a claim window is open this week or a date is fixed within the coming 14 days. Every detail comes from the source linked in each case. Where a project has published no end date, it says so explicitly – there are no estimated deadlines here. Last week's position is in our article on the airdrops of week 36.

The Dates at a Glance

1. Beldex and Humanity: The Airdrop That Expires on September 25

This entry is the most unusual on the list, because nobody had to claim anything here. Both projects were attacked in June 2026, both then rolled out a new token contract and distributed the replacement one to one to holders as of the record date. At Beldex the snapshot was taken on June 10, 2026 at 23:36 UTC, and the new token was credited on July 10, 2026 at 14:00 UTC. Kraken took over this distribution for its customers and booked it in automatically – which is why two lines have been sitting in the account there ever since.

The catch is the ending: trading and deposits have already been switched off for all the tickers concerned, and withdrawal is the only function left. It closes on September 25, 2026 at 14:00 UTC. From September 28 to October 2, 2026 the exchange liquidates remaining balances itself and points out expressly in the same notice that the proceeds may lie well below the prices last seen and may in individual cases be minimal or zero. For Beldex there is an additional point: anyone who bought only after the snapshot is not entitled according to the exchange, and there is no application portal.

What has to be done this week is therefore a single action with a date: withdraw before the window closes. We have written up the full process with both projects, the contract addresses distinguishing the old from the new token and the special route for Humanity separately, under “Kraken withdrawal deadline on September 25”.

2. Plume (Season 2): Claim Open, End Date Still Unpublished

Plume is a layer-1 chain for tokenized real-world assets. Season 2 of the points program ended on March 31, 2026, and registration for the distribution ran from April 29 to May 27, 2026. Anyone who missed that step is excluded according to the project; it cannot be remedied after the fact. Eligible were wallets with at least 10,000 Plume Points, in some cases additionally with verification through Human Passport.

The claim has been running since the end of May 2026 through the official portal, and the gap of recent weeks remains unchanged: Plume has at no point named an end date. The announcement text gives the registration deadline and says of the claim itself only that it is planned for “later in May” and that the exact date will follow through the official channels. It has not followed to this day. On checking on September 7, 2026, the most recent post on the project blog was from August 27, 2026 and concerned a partnership, not an airdrop deadline.

The figure circulating in secondary reports of a window of around three months, which on that arithmetic would have run out at the end of August, still does not come from Plume. We mention it only because it circulates, and expressly not as a deadline. In practice that changes nothing about the recommendation, on the contrary: a claim with no published end date can be closed at any time without prior announcement. Anyone eligible and registered should claim rather than wait.

Source: Plume – “Plume Points Season 2 Airdrop Registration Is Now Open” (checked again on September 7, 2026; the announcement still names no end date for the claim, and the project blog carries no more recent post on the subject since August 27)

3. Grass (Stage 2): Deadline of January 22, 2027

The Solana project Grass has been paying out the rewards of its Stage 2 since July 22, 2026. Epochs 1 to 19 are covered, that is the period from October 14, 2024 to June 8, 2026. The claim runs through the project's official dashboard.

Grass is one of the few projects with a cleanly published deadline: the claim is open until January 22, 2027, a full six months. Whatever has not been claimed by then stays with Grass – that is what the project documentation says word for word. This is the most comfortable entry on the list and nonetheless the one where, in our experience, the most is left lying, because half a year feels like unlimited time. Put the date in your calendar if you are eligible.

4. GRVT: Every Tranche Has Its Own 30-Day Clock

The derivatives exchange GRVT held its token generation event on July 30, 2026 and is distributing 280 million GRVT in total. The mechanics are the strictest on this list: distribution takes place in tranches over twelve months, and every released tranche has a claim window of 30 days. Once it runs out, the tranche is finally lost according to the project.

Two points are decisive here and are regularly confused. First, registration: it closed on July 27, 2026 at 00:00 UTC, and anyone who missed it has forfeited their allocation – no later claim changes that. Second, the automation: only the first tranche due is sent automatically, and even that only on a registration before July 17, 2026 with a target chain on file. The help text speaks expressly of the “first eligible tranche”; it says nothing about later releases. Assume therefore that you have to claim every further tranche yourself.

GRVT publishes no release schedule, and on checking again on September 7, 2026 the help section carried no date for the second tranche either. We deliberately do not calculate it here. What counts is solely the expiry date the reward portal shows you for your specific tranche. This is exactly where forfeited entitlements arise – set yourself a reminder, as the project itself recommends.

5. dappOS (DOS): Phase 2 Open, Phase 3 Still Without a Date

The DOS token came out with its TGE on August 10, 2026, and since August 11, 2026 phase 2 has been running, in which eligible wallets can claim transferable DOS. A phase 3 has been announced but without a date, and for none of the phases so far has an end date been published. On checking on September 7, 2026 the claim portal on the project domain was reachable; it is the only official route.

What comes after is the real decision: a freshly distributed token with a small market capitalisation swings wildly in the first weeks, and selling pressure from an ongoing claim hits it on top of that. Anyone who wants to trade such a position at all needs access that covers the small pairs – pure charting tools such as Dexscreener or TradingView only display, no trading happens there. One alternative is the mobile app FOMO Family, in which meme and low-cap tokens can be discovered, swiped through and traded directly in the app, with fast deposits. Download the app through the link and secure yourself ten percent off trading fees. Sobriety belongs with it: trading meme and low-cap tokens is highly risky, volatility is extreme and a total loss is possible at any time. Where else DOS is traded is set out in our comparison of crypto exchanges.

Changed Since Last Week

• New on the list: Beldex and Humanity. The withdrawal deadline of September 25, 2026 is the only hard deadline of this edition that falls within the next 14 days.
• Midnight (NIGHT) drops out of the table. Not because anything has changed, but because its status remained unconfirmed for the third time running; more on that in the next section.
• GRVT, registration deadline clarified: registration closed on July 27, 2026 at 00:00 UTC; the separate cut-off for automatic dispatch of the first tranche was July 17, 2026.

What Is Deliberately Missing This Week

These candidates did not make the list. The reason differs in each case, and each is worth as much as an entry:

• Holoworld AI (HOLO) – wrong year. The genesis claim is carried in search results and on exchange learning pages as a current airdrop starting on September 11. The project's announcement, however, dates from September 9, 2025: claim start on September 11, 2025 at 11:00 UTC, window 60 days, hence expired in November 2025. Do not confuse it with a running claim – there is nothing left to collect here.
• Midnight (NIGHT) – source unverifiable three weeks running. The key data carried so far (thawing until December 4, 2026, then a 90-day grace period) come from a check in mid-August. Since then the source has no longer been accessible (last checked on September 7, 2026); the developer documentation does not cover the subject. There is no indication of a change – but we can no longer substantiate the deadline, and an unsubstantiated deadline does not belong in the table in this format. Anyone relying on it should call up the project page themselves.
• AVANT – a period instead of a date. The TGE postponed to “mid-September” still has no calendar date, and the documentation expressly says claim mechanics and deadline will follow closer to the event. As soon as a day is named, the entry follows.
• Ink (INK) – TGE window, no deadline. A TGE in the third to fourth quarter of 2026 is expected for the Kraken layer-2, but no date has been published. Collecting points is not a claim date.
• Arcium (ARX) – open, but without a deadline. The retroactive token grants continue in rolling waves. Neither the project page nor the documentation names a point by which claiming must have happened. Unchanged from last week.
• RISEx, Canopy (CNPY), mint.io (MNTD) – points programs without a TGE date. Unchanged from last week; none of these candidates has published a date since.
• Kaidro (KDR) – over and not verifiable at the project source. The end of the play-to-airdrop program on September 4, 2026 is documented only through gaming portals, not through a project source we could reach. The date lies before this edition in any case.
• Exchange dates without an airdrop connection. The end of trading for 21 Kraken tokens, the VANRY migration and the expiring Binance withdrawals are real deadlines, but not airdrops. They are covered in our articles on exchange dates and do not belong on this list.

Along with the standing rule of this format: projects listed as “live” on aggregator pages but naming neither a snapshot nor a claim window at the project source do not get in. “Airdrop confirmed, date open” is not a deadline.

What to Watch Out for With Every Claim

Airdrops are the preferred hunting ground for wallet drainers, and the patterns repeat:

• Check the year first. This week's Holoworld case shows how an announcement a year old travels through search results as a fresh claim – and an expired claim is the perfect template for a cloned scam page.
• Always call up the claim page through the official project domain, never through links from direct messages, comments or search ads.
• No reputable airdrop asks for your seed phrase or your private key.
• Check what permission you are granting before you sign. An unlimited token approval is not necessary for a claim.
• Weigh the network fee against the value of the allocation. On very small amounts, claiming can cost more than it yields.
• Put every deadline in the calendar – with staggered distributions like GRVT's, every single tranche and not just the first.
• And the point that carries this week too: a claim without a published end date is not a claim with unlimited time, but one whose closure does not have to be announced.

Think About Tax Straight Away

An airdrop is not by definition a tax-free gift. Whether the allocation has to be treated as other income under Section 22 no. 3 of the German Income Tax Act depends above all on whether you provided something in return. This week's Beldex case also shows that two events have to be kept apart: the inflow of the replacement token in July and the later withdrawal or sale – a forced liquidation by the exchange is a transaction requiring documentation too, even if you did not trigger it.

So secure the time, quantity, market value, price source, transaction hash and the terms of participation right at the moment of claiming – the last of these tend to disappear first when a campaign page is switched off. Which details count individually is set out in our guide "Receiving airdrops: save this data immediately". That unsold tokens can also trigger a tax liability we explain under "Unsold airdrops: tax liability even without a sale".

That a distribution once promised can also be repurposed is shown by the Optimism case – set out in our article on the repurposing of the Optimism airdrop. An overview of further campaigns is in our section on crypto airdrops.

Conclusion

Week 37 is the week in which the date matters more than the project. The only hard deadline of the next 14 days concerns, with Beldex and Humanity, an airdrop nobody had to apply for and that can nonetheless be lost by doing nothing until September 25. Three further entries – Plume, GRVT and dappOS – have open windows with no published end, and only Grass names a clean closing date with January 22, 2027.

The second finding of the week is methodological and deserves more attention than any individual entry: a prominently traded “running” airdrop was in truth a year old. Search results, exchange learning pages and aggregators rarely carry years visibly. Check them before you connect a wallet.

And the necessary sobering note: most allocations move in the double to triple digit range, the fee for claiming eats a noticeable part of that, and a considerable share of all allocated tokens is never claimed. The effort pays off above all where you are already eligible anyway.
