#数字资产动态追踪 2026 Airdrop Projects and Sector Opportunities to Watch

Hello everyone!

Today, I’m providing a practical guide to airdrop opportunities in 2026.

Recently, I saw a list of potential projects in industry analysis reports. Honestly, the data volume is quite large, but the list is too bloated, and I have no idea where to start. The biggest mistake in trading and earning is **"busywork without direction"**.

Someone has organized a visual benchmarking table with detailed sector classifications and scoring systems, making everything much clearer.

**Category One: AI and Computing Power — The Absolute Narrative King of 2026**

No second place. Projects like Inference and Ritualnet are both rated 8 points.

The key to this sector is **"running nodes"**. Gradient, Pluralis, and similar projects require hardware support. If you have idle servers or decent computers, running nodes currently offers a relatively stable ROI. If hardware is insufficient, focus on projects like pip world, where AI Agent interactions help build early engagement — it’s all about who gets started first.

**Category Two: DeFi and On-Chain Trading — The Arena for Major Capital**

For friends with substantial funds, this is the core battlefield.

Projects like Titan and Jupiter, rated 9 points, are recognized as big opportunities — you need to boost trading volume. The derivatives (Perps) sector, such as Backpack and Euphori, are both rated around 8 points. The current approach is clear — on-chain contract trading is the direction.

DeFi is straightforward: saving, lending, trading volume — it’s all about capital efficiency.

**Category Three: Prediction Markets and Infrastructure — It’s a Test of Vision and Judgment**

I’m especially optimistic about this sector, especially after Polymarket’s explosion. Kalshi and Polymarket are both top-tier 9-point projects.

Prediction markets aren’t about mindless interaction spamming; they are **"game-theoretic"** gameplay. You need to participate in predictions and place bets, which requires genuine cognition. For those sensitive to market hot spots, this is a cash cow.

There are 69 projects, and I might not remember all their names, but definitely keep these strategic directions in mind.

**The most critical advice: Enter super early!!!**

Damn, another airdrop guide... To be honest, this wave of AI projects definitely has potential, but when it comes to nodes, it depends on your hardware setup. Don't blindly follow the trend and just stack machines.

Hey, wait a minute, can AI and computing power really ensure stable ROI? I always feel like this round is just another hardware arms race...

I've heard this logic many times early on, but not many actually dare to put their principal on the line, right?

Oh no, it's another list of "must enter very early"... I've heard this line too many times, and what was the result?

Getting involved at the very early stages is easy to say, but the problem is how to determine which one is truly early. It feels like now everything dares to be rated 9 points.
