Crypto airdrops in week 46: Fables closes first

The week starts without a deadline that expires within it, but with one date that is closer than all the others. At Fables, the window for exchanging points into FABLES tokens and redeeming PROLOGUE holdings ends on November 20. Eight days later Doppler Finance closes, and December 4 brings two windows at once: the full allocation at Aster and the end of the thaw phase at Midnight. StandX remains open until New Year's Eve.

If you are new to the topic: what an airdrop is, how snapshots work and how to spot dubious offers is explained in our airdrop guide. The previous week focused on StandX's DUSD claim, which was postponed and then opened.

The deadlines at a glance

Project Status Date / deadline Fables (FABLES), points claim and PROLOGUE redemption Claim open Points until November 20, 2026, 23:59 UTC; PROLOGUE until November 20, 2026 (no time given) Doppler Finance (XDP), genesis airdrop Claim open, registration closed Until November 28, 2026, 12:00 UTC Aster (ASTER), Stage 6 "Convergence" Claim for the full allocation open From November 4, 2026, to December 4, 2026 Midnight (NIGHT), Glacier Drop Thaw phase under way Thaw phase ends December 4, 2026, followed by a 90-day grace period StandX (DUSD) Claim open Until December 31, 2026, 08:00 UTC

1. Fables (FABLES): the exchange ends on November 20

Fables is a decentralised exchange based on the ve(3,3) model on the Robinhood Chain. The FABLES token launched in October, and two processes have been running in parallel since then: anyone who collected points in the points programme claims their allocation, and anyone who held the predecessor token PROLOGUE swaps it for FABLES. For both, the Fables FAQ gives the same day: the points claim ends on November 20, 2026, at 23:59 UTC, and PROLOGUE redemption also on November 20, although the project gives no time for the latter. To be on the safe side, treat November 19 as the last day.

Claims are made via the "Claim your FABLES" card in the portfolio section of the website, from the wallet to which the points were credited. Whether freely tradable FABLES or a locked veFABLES arrives there depends on the option saved by October 19, 2026, 02:00 UTC; it can no longer be changed.

PROLOGUE comes with a trap you need to know about. The snapshot of October 17 is decisive, and redemption is only possible from the wallet that held the balance at that time. According to the project, any outgoing PROLOGUE transfer other than the redemption itself cancels that wallet's entire entitlement, and buying back does not restore it. The fixed ratio is around 37.68 PROLOGUE for one FABLES.

2. Doppler Finance (XDP): the genesis airdrop ends on November 28

Doppler Finance is a yield platform in the XRP Ledger ecosystem. The Doppler claim portal gives a claim period from September 28, 2026, 11:59 UTC to November 28, 2026, 12:00 UTC; unclaimed allocations are forfeited after that. The token documentation lists the airdrop as one percent of total supply, fully unlocked at token launch, with no lock-up and no vesting.

The deadline concerns only a small group: registration closed on July 30, 2026, at 12:00 UTC, and only those who signed up by then can claim, from the registered Base wallet. If you are among them, check whether your allocation has been sitting untouched in the portal since September. How the XRP price is currently faring is covered in our ongoing reporting.

3. Aster (ASTER): the full allocation runs until December 4

Anyone who chose the option for the full vesting allocation in Stage 6 of the Aster programme, which Aster calls "Convergence", has been able to claim their share since November 4, 2026. The window closes on December 4, 2026; both dates are given by Aster's allocation page itself, which gives no time. A total of 200 million ASTER is available for Stage 6.

The choice between an immediate half payout in the spring and the full allocation now had to be made in April and can no longer be changed. How the window affects circulating supply is covered in our article on the Aster claim window.

4. Midnight (NIGHT): the thaw phase also ends on December 4

This entry is new to the list. Midnight, Cardano's privacy-focused partner blockchain, distributed its NIGHT token via the Glacier Drop. Allocations are not released all at once but in four equal instalments of 25 percent each, 90 days apart; the first release date for each destination address was set at random between December 10, 2025, and early March 2026. The project's guide gives December 4, 2026, as the end of the thaw phase, followed by a 90-day grace period for final claims before the portal closes.

The project gives no fixed end date for the grace period, only its length. Arithmetically it runs into March 2027, but you should not rely on that. Anyone who has not yet claimed instalments will see a countdown to the next release in the portal at midnight.gd. Our article on redeeming NIGHT describes the process step by step.

5. StandX (DUSD): the claim runs until New Year's Eve

StandX is winding down its operations and paying out the remaining proceeds as DUSD. The claim has been open since November 2, 2026, 00:00 UTC and, according to a project announcement, closes on December 31, 2026, at 08:00 UTC; anything not claimed by then is forfeited. Claims are made with the same wallet address used on StandX, on BNB Chain or on the Solana blockchain, with no lock-up.

If you still have a balance on the platform, you should know the second timeline: open positions will be closed at the mark price on January 15, 2027, and redemption and withdrawal of DUSD end on January 31, 2027. The claim is available exclusively on the StandX website; any other address offering a DUSD claim is a scam.

Taxes: receipt counts, not just the sale

For taxation, what matters is the time of receipt, and whether the airdrop was given in return for a service. Which details you should save at the moment of claiming is explained in our German-language guide on data to store when receiving airdrops. Why even an airdrop that is never sold can attract the attention of the tax authorities is covered in our German-language article on unsold airdrops and tax liability without a sale.

With Fables, it pays to look closely at your own option: liquid FABLES are received at the moment of claiming, whereas a veFABLES lock is locked. With Midnight, each instalment creates its own claim date, while for StandX and Doppler receipt falls on the day of the claim.

What did not make the list this week

The tightest date currently circulating is not in the table: for infiniFi, several compilations cite November 10, 2026, 15:30 UTC as the end of registration for the INFI airdrop, open to wallets with points from Season 1 or 2. We could not confirm this deadline on the project's own pages, and its documentation does not mention it. If you are affected, register only via infiniFi's own website and do not follow links from messages.

PREDICT is also missing from the table. According to consistent reports, the choice between 35 percent immediately and 100 percent after one year of staking runs until November 26, 2026, 09:00 UTC; the underlying Binance Wallet announcement was not available to us verbatim for this edition. The details are in our article on the PREDICT option.

For MetaMask, a claim close on November 26 and an opt-in deadline on November 12 are still circulating. MetaMask's own pages say the opposite: Season 1 of the rewards has been over since early 2026, and according to the project it does not plan a token of its own. If you come across a claim page under this date, you are very likely looking at a fake. Plume, Jupiter, OpenSea, Base, Lighter and Polymarket remain without a date from the projects themselves. "Airdrop confirmed, date open" is not an entry for a deadline list.

What comes next

The order is clear: Fables first, on November 20, with the caveat that no time is given for PROLOGUE. Doppler follows on November 28 at 12:00 UTC and only affects registered users. On December 4 Aster and the Midnight thaw phase end, with Midnight still allowing a grace period afterwards. StandX runs until December 31, 08:00 UTC. Grass continues to pay out Stage 2 rewards in USDC until January 22, 2027, unless all allocations have been claimed before then.
