Top Legitimate Telegram Airdrops and Existing Challenges for 2025
"Telegram airdrops are scams" or "Don’t waste your time on them" - perhaps you’ve heard similar things about Telegram airdrops. Maybe they’re right, and maybe not. I’ve heard that finding a worthy airdrop is like gambling. This person was talking about all kinds of airdrops, not just TON network airdrops. I must say finding legitimate airdrops in the TON network is also a gamble.
In this article, I will explain the challenges you must be aware of in your journey to find legitimate Telegram airdrops and recommend the most worthy ones.
Challenges in Finding Legitimate Telegram Airdrops
1. Scams Are in Every Corner
No one is going to remove them. Just look at what TON Society’s moderator said to me: "Closing or reporting scam airdrops does not prevent them from reappearing with new accounts and applications. Even if this could be done, people might feel safe and act more carelessly, becoming easy targets. The best approach is for everyone to do their own research."
Run away from any spin bots in the TON network because they are all scams and will steal everything you have in your wallet. You can also ask about airdrops' legitimacy in the TON Society group.
2. Delayed Listing Dates
TapSwap has been delaying its listing date for over a year, which is frustrating. Other airdrops like Blum and BabyDogePaws have also delayed their listing dates, which may discourage many people. Blum said they did this because they want to create utility tokens and will launch a $5,000 giveaway to thank people. But BabyDogePaws never explained and just changed the listing date from December to spring (probably the 6th month of the year or never just like TapSwap!).
Comparing these two, Blum seems more trustworthy because they are trying hard to convince people by explaining their actions in many livestreams and creating giveaways, unlike BabyDogePaws and TapSwap.
3. Semi-Scam Airdrops
Some airdrops successfully lists their tokens but distribute them to only a small group of participants. A famous example is Cats. The Cats airdrop claimed your tokens had been credited to your wallet, but it was a big lie. If you are participating in the second season of it, know that you will get zero tokens. I wasted 1.6 TON (around $10) on it and got nothing.
4. Worthless Telegram Airdrops
Airdrops like Tomarket and Vertus successfully listed their tokens, but their value is nearly zero. Someone said they invested $500 in Vertus and got $478 in the end. Many people are in a similar situation. I knew they weren’t worthy when they became a trend. But how did I know? I knew it based on my experience, and I saw they had no famous supporters. These kinds of airdrops are only beneficial for influencers who can add many people to their referral list in mini-apps.
5. Token Prices Are Decreasing Every Day
Many Telegram airdrops' tokens have dumped so fast. Only X Empire’s token pumped 17x. It’s impossible to predict which token will pump in the near future. Therefore, I suggest you never hold Telegram tokens. If you insist on holding them, then sell 90% and keep only 10% of your tokens. Another important tip: don’t rush to buy tokens that are pumping. Remember they will dump very soon.
List of Most Legitimate Telegram Airdrops for 2025
I have been participating in Telegram airdrops for a year. My experience has helped me list three worthy airdrops for you:
1. Tiny Verse
Tiny Verse is the second airdrop created by Roxman. The first one was Major, which gave me 100 dollars. I could have earned double if I had invested just $10 more.
Tiny Verse is a very simple game. All you need to do is open its mini-app hourly and click on the icon at the bottom middle to gather stardust. Then click on "add stars" on the left and create some stars WITHOUT PAYING ANY TELEGRAM STARS. These steps only take less than 30 seconds each time. Then click "scan for civilization" (icon on bottom right) when you reach 30,000 stars twice every day. That’s all. Nothing else is needed.
2. Notcoin’s Related Airdrops
Notcoin was the first Telegram airdrop that gave tokens worth $100 and $200. Hopefully, Notcoin is launching other airdrop games. Stay tuned for new airdrops by Notcoin. I will update this story whenever I hear about them.
Lost Dogs and Not Pixel by Notcoin recently listed on exchanges. I heard people who played these two well could get near $100 and even $200. It’s important to note that you needed to invest some money and be lucky in Lost Dogs, while you could get tokens with just hard work and without spending any money in Not Pixels.
3. Earn
Earn is the simplest mini-app in Telegram and is supported by many successful airdrops like Notcoin and DOGS. All you need to do is open the Earn bot from the link below and connect your wallet to it. Then join TON, NOT, and TON rewards pools to earn free tokens!
The important thing to remember is that only the top 2,000 holders will get the free tokens. The more tokens you hold, the more you can earn without facing scams and doing hard work. Once the launchpools ends, you can claim them very soon. If there are no available reward pools in the bot, join their channels to get information about upcoming pools.
My Final Words
There are hundreds of Telegram airdrops, but I could only recommend a few worthy ones. If you want to start any other airdrops, research thoroughly and be wary of any spin bots. Mention the names of airdrops that you want to start in the comments below. I can help you based on my experience.
