With new chains, projects and promotions to follow, knowing what to look at and where to go to earn rewards can be a tough ask.

It's worth persisting, though. Not only is Solana airdrop season right around the corner, but it's never been easier to tackle do-to-earn projects that monetise your time.

With that said, here's what's cooking on the farm this month.

As always, none of this is risk-free. Smart contracts can fail, incentives can change, and time is a finite resource. Treat these as experiments, not guarantees & DYOR.

Hylo

Hylo is a DeFi protocol focused on structured yield strategies, with the goal of making on-chain earning safer and more approachable without constant manual optimisation.

Season 0 has closed, but Season 1 remains open and you can still earn points and climb the ladder. Stake xSOL, hold HyloSOL or hyUSD to build your stack.

wurk.fun

wurk.fun takes a different approach, offering a microtask model on Solana where users earn crypto for completing simple online actions.

Tasks are lightweight, require little technical knowledge, and follow a clear task-to-reward structure.

It’s not a replacement for income, but it’s an easy way to monetise spare time without committing capital.

Earnings are generated by completing tasks such as social engagement, with payouts in SOL.

You can also create your own tasks.

Kast.xyz

Kast positions itself as a crypto-native spending and rewards platform, linking everyday usage with on-chain incentives. The appeal here is less about DeFi loops and more about real-world utility.

Users earn points through normal platform activity. Use the roadmap to understand how this will unfold. Earn extra with the current MOVE promo that gives you bonuses with every spend.

Participation is straightforward: use the platform, transact, and stay active. Look for the promos that will land you a free physical card for no charge.

Loopscale Labs

Loopscale is exploring new models for capital efficiency and yield generation, currently operating in an early-access phase with points-based incentives.

One catch. You have to actually use the protocol. So, thats a no for farmers and a yes for genuine users.

Yield opportunities are tied to how and how long capital is deployed, with ongoing points accrual for early users.

Don't Forget To DYOR

Remember, airdrops are never guaranteed. Smart contract risks and general liquidity risks always apply, and incentive structures can change quickly.

So, check the docs and make decisions that are best for your own situation.
