Crypto testnets and airdrops to watch, November to December 2026

This is a watch list, not a recommendation to farm anything, and it is not financial advice. We only included projects whose own website published a testnet or airdrop date that falls in November or December 2026, or a testnet that opened just before this window and is still running through it. We checked those primary pages on November 15, 2026. Third-party "airdrop confirmed" posts were not enough to get a project onto this page.

Testnet tokens are typically worthless. A published allocation is a team statement, not a guarantee of value. Never sign a wallet message or enter a seed phrase to "claim" a testnet airdrop.

How we chose what to include

A project is on this list only if we could open a primary page (the project's site, official docs, or a named team post linked from that site) that states the date. We left out campaigns we saw only on aggregators, "potential airdrop" language, and any listing that asked readers to buy a token during a testnet. If a date moves, the project's own page wins.

Flop Network: testnet targeted for November 24, 2026

Flop Network is a planned Layer 1 where AI agents pay GPU miners for verified inference. Flop's timeline FAQ, last updated November 14, 2026, targets the public testnet for November 24, 2026, "subject to readiness." On November 13 Arthur Hayes posted that "24 Nov 2026 will be the date that @flop_labs Testnet / Airdrop begins," and @flop_labs quoted him eight minutes later with "2026.11.24 (tentative)." We covered that announcement in our November 14 story.

The draft airdrop page makes that testnet the route to a 4.4 billion FLOP genesis allocation, split across miners, agents and validators, with an 800 million ecosystem reserve. Holding a token today earns nothing. The devnet is open for practice and carries no airdrop weight. $FLOP has not launched. Anything sold as FLOP on Solana or another chain is not the official token; see our scam alert and airdrop myths.

Draft docs describe a testnet of about 90 days. The same November 14 FAQ says no mainnet or TGE date is verified, while older draft pages still mention a Q1 2027 genesis target. For roles and steps, use how to join the FLOP testnet and what happens on launch day. For live status, use our testnet tracker (it has a free embed and a JSON feed). Take official links only from flop.finance/official.

Vearl: public GPU-mining testnet, live since October 23, 2026

Vearl describes itself as a proof-of-useful-work network where miners run AI models. Its homepage, checked on November 15, 2026, says the first public testnet has been live since 23 October 2026, 16:00 UTC, and that testnet tokens have no value. The participate page is the primary source for the miner rules. It says the team commits 7% of the maximum mainnet supply to contributors of five public testnets, with 0.7% for this first one, shared in proportion to points, and that there is no mainnet date and no promised price. It also says the code has not been audited by a third party and that the network can be reset.

Hardware on that page is an NVIDIA GPU of the Ampere generation or newer. Downloads are pointed at the project's GitHub releases, not at files sent in a chat. Vearl is a separate project from Flop. We list it because its own site publishes a live testnet date that still falls in this window, not because the two designs are the same.

What we checked and left out

We saw other November testnet write-ups on third-party blogs, including names such as Asentum, Ammora, FX100, Titan and Causevest. We did not add them here, because on November 15 we could not, in the time we had, tie each one to a primary page we had opened and could quote the way we can for Flop and Vearl. We will add a project when we can cite its own page. If you maintain one of those sites and have a primary URL, the address on our about page is the place to send it.

We also skipped any page that mixes a "testnet" with a token sale or a paid claim. Those are not the same thing as a free testnet.

How to read a testnet airdrop claim

1. Open the project's own site by typing the URL yourself.
2. Find the date and the reward language on that site, not on a screenshot in a thread.
3. Check whether testnet tokens are said to have value (they usually do not).
4. Ignore any "claim" page that wants a seed phrase or a signed message you do not understand.
5. For Flop specifically, compare every link with official FLOP links.

FAQ

Which crypto testnets start in November or December 2026?

The one we could verify from official Flop docs is Flop Network, targeted for November 24, 2026, subject to readiness. Vearl's own site says its public GPU-mining testnet has been live since October 23, 2026, and is still the current public testnet. We will add other projects when we can cite a primary page for their date.

Is the Flop airdrop confirmed for November 24?

Flop's timeline FAQ and a November 13 post by Arthur Hayes both give November 24, 2026 as the testnet and airdrop start, with the FAQ adding "subject to readiness" and Flop Labs calling the date tentative. The genesis allocation itself is still described in draft documents, and no FLOP token exists yet. See our airdrop guide.

Do these testnets guarantee tokens or returns?

No. Testnet tokens usually have no value. A published mainnet allocation is a team statement and can change under the rules the project itself publishes. This page is not financial advice and is not an instruction to farm any network.

Where can I check whether the Flop testnet is live?

Our testnet tracker records official status, the current validator package and official posts. You can embed the badge or pull /api/tracker.json. The official go-live will also appear on @flop_labs and on docs.flop.network.
