Best Crypto Airdrops This Month: Upcoming & Active Rewards | CryptoWire

There is no single best drop landing in June, but a clear shortlist of high-value candidates. CoinGecko, in its updated June 2026 airdrop guide, names Backpack, Polymarket, MetaMask and Base as the most anticipated potential airdrops of the year.

MetaMask is the headline name. In September 2025, Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin confirmed a MASK token was coming sooner than you would expect, according to The Block.

The wallet has since rolled out MetaMask Rewards, a seasonal points system that tracks on-chain trading.

Base, the Coinbase-incubated Ethereum Layer 2, is the other giant to watch. Creator Jesse Pollak said in September 2025 that the team was exploring a Base network token, a notable shift after years of regulatory caution. Using native apps like Aerodrome may strengthen eligibility if a drop happens.

Which airdrops are expected this month?

Backpack looks the most concrete. The Solana-focused exchange posted its token generation plan on 9 February 2026, pledging 25% of supply to the community 24% to points holders and 1% to Mad Lads NFT holders with its fourth points season already running since November 2025.

Polymarket is the other major expectation. Its CMO confirmed a POLY token during an October 2025 interview, and the prediction market filed a $POLY trademark on 4 February 2026.

The platform took a $2 billion investment from NYSE parent ICE in October 2025, valuing it near $9 billion.

Treat all of these as potential, not promised. CoinGecko explicitly warns that a feature on its list is no guarantee an airdrop will ever happen, and projects like OpenSea’s SEA token were delayed indefinitely in March 2026 citing weak market conditions.
