Which airdrops shaped 2025? Lighter's $LIT token definitely made waves, delivering solid returns for early participants. On the flip side, Linea's $LINEA offering left many feeling underwhelmed—expectations versus reality didn't quite align.

Looking ahead, the 2026 airdrop landscape could shift significantly. Will we see major protocols like $MASK or $BASE making their moves? The timing and mechanics of upcoming token distributions remain one of the most hotly debated topics in the crypto space. As more projects mature and head toward community ownership, the patterns around token launches and airdrops will likely become even more strategic and competitive.

LIT-3,15%

LINEA-2,43%

MASK0,22%

Lit Nabo really made a profit, I just ignore Linea's updates... Now I'm just waiting for Mask and Base, probably going to be disappointed again.

litm is okay, but that wave of linea was really disappointing, I saw it coming a long time ago. What about base? When will there be any movement?

Lit is really soaring, and that wave of Linea was really just poor expectation management, feeling like a harvest of chives.

ngl, linea's implementation was... questionable at best. technically speaking, the distribution mechanics felt vulnerable to exactly the kind of disappointment we saw. lit did better but let's dissect the actual tokenomics—most folks don't even audit the vesting schedules lol

LIT indeed caught that wave, but LINEA... forget it, don't mention it. Monitoring in the mempool for a long time only to be played out—that's why I now insist on a combination of flash loan arbitrage and gas fee optimization. If MASK or BASE really airdrops in 2026, the key still depends on the distribution mechanism and the relationship with mining pools; otherwise, it's just another options game.

Linea Napo really underperformed, I knew it would turn out like this... I should have seen through it a long time ago.

LIT is pretty good, but LINEA really disappointed me, all the expectations were for nothing. If MASK or BASE launch in 2026, that would be interesting, and there might be another wave of surge then.
