Airdrop Calendar & Tracker — Week of September 14 – 20, 2026

Every project tracked this week, sorted by status. A project appears under Confirmed only when the project itself has published a commitment to distribute to users — a stated airdrop, or a supply allocation reserved for them; once a claim date is published, it moves to Upcoming. Items under Rumored are market speculation and are marked unverified — this week that tier again includes a refuted entry, kept deliberately so readers who meet the claim in the wild see the debunk next to it. Each row links to the source we checked — not to a claim page, which is where most phishing happens. The week's hardest date: Kraken's Beldex/Humanity withdrawal window closes September 25.

1. Live — claim windows open now

Within the protocol-only set we count separately — five rows this week — two carry a printed end date (Beldex/Humanity, Grass); the rest run on clocks or without any published end date. Midnight sits outside that count: its Glacier Drop claim closed in October 2025, and the December 4 date is the end of a thawing schedule rather than a deadline to act on. The KII competition and the WLFI campaign are exchange promotions and are counted separately from the protocol rows.

2. Upcoming — confirmed dates ahead

This table is not capped at the covered week or the week after it: any date a project has officially published lands here the week we verify it, however far out it sits. Sep 28 is the Monday after next — it appears now because that is when the date became checkable, and a calendar that hid it would cost you a week of lead time.

Reminder. Rumored entries are not confirmed by the projects involved. Nothing on these rows should be treated as a fact about timing, size, or eligibility. Two rows this week are year-old items recirculating as current — the third and fourth such cases in two weeks — and the most-shared unverified items we encountered.

5. How to read this tracker

Statuses move in one direction: Rumored → Confirmed → Upcoming → Live → Closed. A project only advances when the team itself publishes the news. Dates shown are the ones each source published; where a deadline is derived by arithmetic (like GRVT's 30-day tranche clocks), we say so. Every external link is nofollow and points to the source we checked, never to a claim page. For claiming, always go through the project's official domain.

Changes this week: DGAI (Sep 16) and APM (Sep 17) opened and completed inside the window; the KiiChain (KII) competition entered at Live on Sep 18 with a Sep 25 close; ARC reached its September 16 mainnet without a token and was removed from the tracker; Sei's ~111.5M unlock landed Sep 15; and the Week 38 source edition added XDAO to its exclusion list and corrected two of its own earlier statements (a Humanity application portal exists; Grass has roughly two of six months elapsed).

Reading across three weeks, the live-protocol set has settled into a stable shape: the same five rows, the same two printed deadlines (Beldex/Humanity, Grass), and an undated trio (Plume, GRVT, dappOS) that has not moved since late August. Stability of this kind is itself the signal — it means the claim landscape is not generating new hard dates, and the week's action is concentrating in two places the tracker treats separately: exchange promotions (WLFI, KII) and a single asset-destroying withdrawal window (Kraken). A reader scanning for "what can I claim this week" now finds the honest answer is "almost nothing new" — and that answer is more useful than a calendar padded with undated hopes.

7. How we verify a Rumored entry

Rumored rows are the only place on this site where no project confirmation exists, so the standard for inclusion is deliberately narrow. A project reaches Rumored when (1) the market is actively discussing it, and (2) no official source has confirmed timing, size, or eligibility. We do not add rumors based on price action, anonymous posts alone, or "will probably airdrop" heuristics. When a project publishes something, it leaves this tier — upward if confirmed, downward if refuted.

This week's Rumored additions are both refuted year-old items — Meteora's September 2025 announcement and a "September 18 BARD" listing that is actually Binance's 41st HODLer Airdrop from September 2025. They are included in their refuted state on purpose: both were among the most-shared "current" items we encountered, and readers who meet either claim in the wild should find the debunk attached to the same row they find the rumor on.

FAQ

1. What moved in or out of the tracker this week?

In: the KiiChain (KII) trading competition (Sep 18–25). Completed inside the window: DGAI (Sep 16) and APM (Sep 17) Alpha claims. Dropped: ARC, which reached its Sep 16 mainnet without a token and therefore leaves the distribution tracker permanently. Added at Rumored: Meteora (MET) — refuted, a September 2025 announcement recirculating. Excluded: XDAO, newly added to the tracker's exclusion list.

2. Why did ARC leave the tracker after its mainnet launch?

Because the launch resolved the question the row existed to track. Circle's Arc went live on September 16 with fees paid in USDC and no native token, and no community or airdrop allocation has been confirmed. There is nothing left to watch for distribution, so the row is removed rather than left to imply an upcoming claim.

3. Why is Meteora listed at all if the claim is a year old?

Because it is one of the most-shared "current" airdrop items in search results this week. The Rumored tier exists to state plainly what is circulating and what verification found — in this case, that the announcement dates from September 10, 2025 and the TGE ran October 23, 2025.

4. Do exchange promotions get tracked like protocol airdrops?

They appear in the same calendar but are labeled as CEX promotions (for example the Binance USD1 to WLFI campaign and the KII trading competition). They reward platform activity such as holding, trading volume, or lockups rather than on-chain protocol usage, and they are excluded from the protocol-row deadline count.

5. Which rows count toward the two-of-five deadline ratio?

The five tracked protocol rows: Beldex/Humanity (Sep 25, hard), Grass (Jan 22, 2027, hard), Plume (no end date), GRVT (30 days per tranche), and dappOS (no end date). Two carry a printed end date. Exchange promotions and tokenless launches are counted separately and are not part of the ratio.

6. Is this financial advice?

No. AirdropStat publishes research and commentary for informational purposes. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or farm any token.
