Last weekend we told you we were cooking up something.
Well… here it is.
Drum rolls. 🥁
If you’ve been farming long enough, you know the pain. You bridge to new chains. You’re actively swapping. Staking is your favourite hobby. And you test new protocols. You’re grinding points systems. Then a surprise retroactive drop happens… and you miss the claim window.
That’s not just annoying.
That’s leaving free crypto on the table.
Even full-time farmers miss claims sometimes. We recently ran one of our own farming wallets through our new tool and found an unclaimed airdrop worth $1,121.
Our wallet had qualified.
We just didn’t claim it.
Until now.
So we built something to fix that.
We just launched our Unclaimed Airdrops Eligibility Checker, powered by Dropsbot. It lets you quickly scan your wallet and see if you have free crypto waiting across multiple ecosystems.
Let’s break it down step by step.
Why unclaimed airdrops became a real problem
Airdrops didn’t always work like this.
In the early days, if you participated, tokens simply landed in your wallet. When distribution time came, projects sent the airdrop automatically.
Then the meta changed.
About 2–3 years ago, we entered the “claim-based” era. Instead of auto-distributing tokens, projects started requiring users to manually claim them.
Why?
Gas fees.
At the peak of Ethereum congestion, sending tokens to hundreds of thousands of wallets could cost projects five figures. The cheapest solution was obvious: let users pay the gas themselves by claiming.
Smart move for projects.
And I say that from experience.
Back in 2017 and 2018, we actually built one of the first airdrop distribution smart contracts. Across multiple projects and more than 500,000 wallets, I personally burned at least $200,000 worth of ETH in gas fees distributing airdrops.
So yes, I fully understand why teams shifted to claim models.
But there’s another hidden benefit for projects.
Not everyone claims.
Even if they qualified, people forget. They miss announcements. They ignore deadlines. When that happens, the unclaimed tokens remain in the project treasury.
Good for them.
Bad for farmers.
And that’s exactly why we launched this Unclaimed Airdrops tool with Dropsbot.
Airdrop farming is no longer one-chain simple.
You might farm on:
- Ethereum
- Major Layer 2 networks
- Base
- Arbitrum
- Solana
- Cosmos
- Starknet
- Sui
- Aptos
- Bitcoin
Each ecosystem has its own announcements and deadlines. Even organized farmers miss things.
That’s why we added a unified checker that helps you:
- spot unclaimed airdrops instantly
- estimate value before spending time
- avoid missing deadlines
- track multiple wallets across multiple chains
And because it’s powered by Dropsbot, you get a specialized backend while staying inside the AirdropAlert ecosystem.
How you can find your unclaimed airdrops
The first scan is completely free.
No wallet connect.
Signatures not needed.
No permissions.
You only enter:
- Your email
- Your public wallet address
That’s it.
Step-by-step
- Open the AirdropAlert Eligibility Checker
- Enter your email
- Paste your wallet address
- Click check
Within seconds, you’ll see whether you have unclaimed airdrops and an estimated value.
If it shows $0, that’s fine. That means there are no active unclaimed claims for that wallet right now. Try another wallet or check again later.
If you are eligible, here are the next steps
So you found free crypto?
Nice.
Now let’s see which projects you missed.
In our example, we used the wallet that showed $1,121 in unclaimed airdrops.
1) Create a Dropsbot account using Telegram
To reveal specific projects, you’ll go to Dropsbot.
Create an account by connecting your Telegram. Once connected, you’ll see a success message.
It takes a minute.
2) Click “Reveal Airdrops”
Now select the option to reveal your unclaimed airdrops.
This is where you go from “I have something” to “here is exactly what I missed.”
3) Choose your payment option (keep it +EV)
You’ll land on a payment page.
There are usually two options:
One-time fee
- Reveals your unclaimed airdrops for 24 hours
- Plenty of time, since claiming usually takes minutes
Subscription
- Best for managing multiple wallets
- Includes Telegram alerts for future claims
Here’s the simple rule:
If the fee is $5, aim for at least a $10 claim.
In our example, the fee was around $25 because the claim was over $1,000. We’ve also seen fees as low as $5.
We personally chose the subscription model. As full-time farmers managing multiple wallets, it makes more sense to get alerts than manually checking and paying one-time fees repeatedly.
If you farm semi-seriously, it’s usually an economic no-brainer.
4) View your revealed unclaimed airdrops
After payment, you’ll see:
- Unclaimed airdrops ready to claim
- Airdrops that require manual checking
- Airdrops you already claimed
In our wallet, we found:
- Ethena Season 4 unclaimed
- Two smaller airdrops
- Another $40 inside the manual-check section
That $40 isn’t life-changing. But it covers part of the fee. So that’s a win.
5) Will it show “eligible” if I already claimed?
No.
If you already claimed an airdrop, the checker will show $0.
So if you see value, it’s almost certainly a new unclaimed opportunity.
No confusion. No double counting.
6) What ecosystems can you check?
The Unclaimed Airdrops checker supports:
- Ethereum
- Major Layer 2s
- Base
- Arbitrum
- Solana
- Cosmos
- Sui
- Aptos
- Bitcoin
- And more
That means you can monitor multiple ecosystems from one place.
Less chaos. More clarity.

What does the eligibility checker actually do?
It scans your public wallet address across supported networks and looks for unclaimed airdrops. It then shows an estimated value, so you can decide whether it’s worth digging deeper.
Is the eligibility scan really free?
Yes. The initial scan is free. You can run it for any wallet address without connecting your wallet.
Do I need to connect my wallet or sign anything?
No. You don’t connect your wallet. You don’t sign messages. You simply paste your public address and check. Never share your private keys.
What happens if I do have unclaimed airdrops?
You’ll see an estimated value on the checker. If you want to see which projects you missed, you can click through to Dropsbot to reveal the full list.
Why does Dropsbot charge to reveal details?
The free scan helps you quickly see if it’s worth it. The reveal is a deeper breakdown that can include claim details and alerts. If you’re not eligible, you don’t pay anything.
If I already claimed an airdrop, will the checker still show it?
No. If it’s already claimed, it should show $0 for that airdrop. So if you see value, it’s likely a fresh unclaimed opportunity.
Which chains and ecosystems are supported?
You can check Ethereum, major Layer 2 networks, Base, Arbitrum, Solana, Cosmos, Sui, Aptos, Bitcoin, and more. The idea is to track multiple ecosystems from one place.
What’s the best way to avoid missing airdrops going forward?
Check your wallets regularly with the free scanner. Also, if you manage many wallets, consider an alert-based approach so you aren’t manually checking all the time. Also, study our guide on the biggest airdrop mistakes that still happen today.
