Airdrop opportunities are still ongoing! DeFi projects worth paying attention to in 2026 are right around the corner.



This time, we focus on potential projects in the DeFi sector—including stablecoin protocols, DEX trading counterparts, liquidity infrastructure, and ecosystem tools. The selection criteria are straightforward: look at funding scale, investor backgrounds, specific participation methods, and project ratings.

First, a note: high-profile perpetual contract projects will be discussed separately.

Key project: Hylo. This is a DeFi application on the Solana ecosystem, with funding background and institutional participation worth noting. The project team’s fundraising ability and ecosystem positioning determine its potential for future airdrop distribution. Based on its DeFi status on Solana and funding progress, Hylo is very likely to launch an airdrop plan in 2026.

To seize such early opportunities, you need to continuously monitor funding trends, investment institution involvement, and the project’s actual implementation progress within the ecosystem. These indicators can help you judge which projects are more likely to fulfill their airdrop promises.

tbh the whole "follow funding rounds to predict airdrops" thing is kinda path dependency nonsense... like yeah sure hylo's got the institutional backing but historically precedent suggests these governance primitives rarely translate to actual token distribution lmao

Hylo is indeed a notable project, but there are too many projects like this on Solana. How many have actually been implemented? --- The airdrop hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already planning for 2026. This pace is honestly a bit optimistic. --- A large funding round doesn't necessarily mean generous airdrops. Don't be fooled by this logic. --- It's all about the Solana ecosystem again. It feels like everything is being piled onto Solana now. --- Participating early in such risky projects is risky. Who can guarantee it will actually airdrop? --- Actual progress is the key; just looking at funding backgrounds is useless. --- Keep an eye on this operation. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is exhausting. --- DEX, stablecoins, liquidity infrastructure—basically, these are the main sectors being hyped up in turn. --- Trust the 2026 airdrop promise? That's a bit naive. --- Has the list of institutional investors in Hylo been released? That would be the most telling.

Whether Hylo can truly take off this time depends on the situation; there are too many projects in the Sol ecosystem, and only a few can really succeed.

If Hylo becomes popular in the SOL ecosystem, airdrops are definitely unavoidable. The key is to keep a close eye on funding trends, or else you'll get chopped up by institutions again.

Hylo on Solana is definitely worth paying attention to, but can the funding scale and institutional background really guarantee an airdrop? It still feels like you need to do your own research.

Hylo is back again, this time in the SOL ecosystem? The backer has a good background, but it feels like the airdrop promises are just illusions. --- Wait, judging the airdrop solely by the funding scale? Bro, I was burned by this trick last year. --- Wait until 2026 for the airdrop; by then, the flowers will have withered. It's better to get on board now and start earning. --- I believe in projects within the Solana ecosystem, but I'm just worried it might be another story where an investor cashes out and then runs away. --- Hearing "continuous attention" too often, honestly, it just means you need to keep an eye on the market every day, right? --- Strong fundraising ability ≠ generous airdrops. That logic needs to be changed. --- Has anyone been tracking Hylo's actual usage data? The funding numbers can easily be misleading.
