Here is a list of protocols on Polygon (and other chains) that have yet to announce their project tokens and either 1. have rumors of an airdrop of their tokens, or 2. could potentially launch a token in the future. As with most airdrops, details regarding an airdrop are rarely disclosed for fear of users exploiting the airdrop with multiple wallets. However, potential strategies to be eligible for airdrops will be included with each respective protocol.
None of the following information should be construed as financial advice. Any interactions with the following protocol carry the risk of losing funds.
Clipper
Clipper is a DEX with the lowest per-transaction costs for smaller trades built for retail and individual traders. Clipper minimises transaction fees, slippage and gas through its protocol design. Clipper minimises fees by limiting the size of liquidity pools as less capital will allow small fees to provide sufficient yield to attract necessary liquidity. Currently, Clipper operates on Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism and Moonbeam.
Potential Strategies for Airdrop
-
Make a swap on Clipper on either Ethereum, Polygon and/or Optimism
-
Provide liquidity to Clipper pools on Ethereum, Polygon and/or Optimism

Atlendis
Atlendis is a DeFi protocol that enables uncollateralised crypto lending to institutional borrowers. This is in contrast to other decentralised lending platforms that only allow for collateralised loans for borrowers as Atlendis allows borrowers to borrow without positing any upfront collateral. Atlendis enables lenders to deposit crypto and earn liquidity rewards while funds are unused and additional rewards when funds are lent out. The market’s supply and demand dynamics determine the liquidity rewards representing the credit risk of lending out crypto.
Atlendis is currently live on Ethereum mainnet and Polygon. There are currently 4 active liquidity pools with 4 different borrowers and credit risks. The liquidity pools accept deposits of either USDC or agEUR and have varying times to maturity and APY.
