There’s no official airdrop from AST.finance for Unifarm - not right now, not in any verified public record. If you’ve seen ads, Discord posts, or Telegram channels promising free AST tokens from an AST Unifarm airdrop, you’re likely being targeted by scammers. This isn’t a rumor. It’s a known pattern in crypto: fake airdrops built on the names of real projects to steal wallets, private keys, or upfront fees.

Who is AST.finance?

AST.finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that launched in 2023. It’s built around a yield aggregation protocol that automates farming rewards across multiple blockchains, primarily Ethereum and BNB Chain. The platform’s native token, AST, is used for governance, fee discounts, and staking rewards. Unlike many meme tokens, AST.finance has a documented whitepaper, a live mainnet, and an active team that publishes quarterly updates. Their website, ast.finance, is the only official source for anything related to the AST token.

What is Unifarm?

Unifarm is a separate DeFi protocol focused on cross-chain yield optimization. It lets users deposit assets once and automatically distribute them across multiple yield sources like lending platforms, liquidity pools, and staking contracts. Unifarm’s own native token is UNI, not AST. There is no official partnership between Unifarm and AST.finance. Any claim that they’re merging, collaborating, or running a joint airdrop is false.

Why the confusion?

The name mix-up happens because both projects use the abbreviation "AST" - but they mean different things. AST.finance uses AST for its token. AsterDEX, another unrelated project, also uses AST as its token and ran a major airdrop in 2024. That airdrop distributed 704 million AST tokens to users who earned points through Spectra’s Stage 0 and Stage 1 programs. But that’s AsterDEX, not AST.finance. Unifarm has no token called AST. The overlap in names and the popularity of airdrops make it easy for bad actors to create convincing fakes.

How to spot a fake AST Unifarm airdrop

Fake airdrops follow the same playbook every time. Here’s how to tell if you’re being scammed:

• They ask for your private key or seed phrase. No legitimate project will ever ask for this. Ever.
• They require you to send crypto first. "Pay a small gas fee to claim your tokens" is a classic trap. Real airdrops are free.
• The website looks off. Check the URL. Fake sites often use ast-finance.com, astfinance.io, or unifarm-airdrop.net - anything that’s not the exact official domain.
• They use urgency. "Only 24 hours left!" or "Limited spots!" are pressure tactics. Real airdrops have clear timelines and public calendars.
• They’re only on Telegram or Discord. Legit projects announce airdrops on their official website, blog, and verified Twitter/X account. If it’s only in a private group, walk away.

What does AST.finance actually offer?

AST.finance doesn’t run airdrops to the general public. Instead, they reward early users and liquidity providers. If you’ve used their platform before, you might have earned AST tokens through:

• Providing liquidity on their yield pools
• Staking AST in their governance contract
• Participating in their beta testing program in 2023

These rewards were distributed directly to wallets that interacted with their smart contracts. There was never a sign-up form. No email collection. No social media tasks. If you didn’t use the platform before mid-2024, you didn’t qualify for any AST rewards - and you won’t now.

How to check if you’re eligible for any AST rewards

If you think you might have earned AST from AST.finance, here’s how to verify:

1. Go to ast.finance - not a copy, not a mirror, not a shortened link.
2. Connect your wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.).
3. Check your dashboard under "Rewards" or "Claimable".
4. If you see nothing, you didn’t earn any tokens.

There is no third-party tool, airdrop checker, or browser extension that can tell you if you’re eligible for an AST Unifarm airdrop - because it doesn’t exist. Any site claiming to check your eligibility is harvesting your wallet address to target you with phishing attacks later.

What happened to the real AST airdrops?

The only verified AST token airdrop in recent history was run by AsterDEX in April 2024. That airdrop was tied to the Spectra rewards program and required users to earn points by using their perpetual exchange platform. Over 120,000 wallets received tokens. That’s public, on-chain data you can verify on Etherscan. AST.finance never ran anything like it. Unifarm never ran anything like it. If someone says they’re giving out AST tokens from a "new Unifarm airdrop," they’re lying.

What should you do instead?

If you’re interested in AST.finance, focus on real engagement:

• Use their platform to farm yield on supported assets
• Stake AST to earn governance rights
• Follow their official Twitter/X account (@ASTfinance) for updates
• Join their Discord server - but only if you verified the link from their website

Don’t chase free tokens. Chasing fake airdrops has cost users millions. In 2024, over $180 million was stolen through fake DeFi airdrop scams, according to Chainalysis. Most victims were lured by promises of "free crypto" - the same promise being made about AST Unifarm right now.

Bottom line

There is no AST Unifarm airdrop. It’s a scam. AST.finance has never partnered with Unifarm. Unifarm doesn’t use the AST token. Any claim otherwise is false. If you see it, report it. If you’re asked to send crypto or share your private key, block it. Real DeFi rewards come from using platforms - not from clicking links. Stay safe. Stick to official sources. And never trust a free token that asks you to do anything but connect your wallet.
