There’s no official airdrop for HyperGraph (HGT) as of December 21, 2025. Not a single verified source, not even a teaser from the team, confirms that one is happening. If you’ve seen a post saying ‘Claim your HGT tokens now!’ or ‘HyperGraph airdrop is live,’ it’s a scam. Fake airdrops are everywhere right now, and HyperGraph is being used as bait.
The name HyperGraph sounds similar to Hyperliquid (HYPE), which did have a major airdrop in late 2024. That’s probably why so many people are mixing them up. Hyperliquid distributed over 300 million HYPE tokens to early users, but that’s it. HyperGraph is a completely different project. No connection. No shared team. No shared token.
So what *is* HyperGraph? It’s a blockchain project focused on decentralized identity and graph-based data structures. The team claims they’re building a system where users control their own digital identities across multiple chains, using a unique graph model to link data securely. That’s not the same as a DeFi exchange like Hyperliquid. It’s more like a layer for managing who you are online-think of it as a decentralized version of your LinkedIn profile, but with cryptographic proof and zero third-party tracking.
But here’s the catch: HyperGraph hasn’t launched its mainnet yet. The whitepaper is public, the GitHub repo is active with commits from early 2025, and they’ve got a small community on Discord and Telegram. But no token sale. No exchange listings. No airdrop. The HGT token doesn’t exist on any blockchain as a tradable asset. Any website selling HGT tokens or asking you to connect your wallet to ‘claim’ them is stealing your private keys.
Why do scams target projects like HyperGraph? Because they’re obscure enough that most people haven’t heard of them, but the name sounds technical and promising. Scammers use fake Twitter accounts, cloned websites, and even fake YouTube videos showing ‘HGT airdrop tutorials.’ One popular scam site even had a fake dashboard that looked just like the official HyperGraph site-down to the font and color scheme. Only difference? It asked you to approve a transaction for 5 ETH before you could ‘receive’ your HGT.
If you want to stay safe, here’s what to do:
- Go to the official HyperGraph website: hypergraph.network. No other domain is legitimate.
- Check their official Twitter (@HyperGraphProj) and Telegram channel. They post updates in English and Mandarin, and they never ask for wallet access.
- Never connect your wallet to any site claiming to distribute HGT tokens.
- Don’t click on links from random Discord servers or Telegram groups saying ‘HGT airdrop is live.’
- Bookmark the official GitHub: github.com/hypergraph-labs. That’s where real code is published.
There’s no timeline for an HGT airdrop because there’s no token to airdrop. The team has said in their Q1 2025 roadmap that they’re focusing on mainnet testing and identity verification protocols before considering token distribution. That means any airdrop, if it ever happens, is likely months or even a year away.
Some people think airdrops are guaranteed rewards for early followers. That’s not how it works with serious projects. HyperGraph’s team has said they’ll only distribute tokens after mainnet launch, and only to users who’ve actively participated in testnets, contributed to documentation, or helped audit smart contracts. No random sign-ups. No social media likes. No email lists.
Compare this to LayerZero’s ZRO airdrop, which required users to bridge assets, use the protocol for swaps, and interact with multiple dApps over several months. That’s real participation. HyperGraph will likely follow a similar model-if they ever launch a token.
Right now, the only way to be eligible for a future HGT airdrop is to get involved in the project’s testnet. The testnet went live in March 2025, and the team has been rewarding contributors with points based on activity: submitting bug reports, running validator nodes, or writing guides. Those points could convert into HGT tokens later-but only if the project survives its mainnet launch.
There’s risk here. Many blockchain projects never make it past the testnet phase. HyperGraph has a small but dedicated team. Their code is clean. But they’ve raised no public funding, and their funding model is unclear. That’s not a red flag by itself, but it does mean they’re operating on tight resources. If they don’t launch mainnet by mid-2026, the project could stall.
Don’t wait for an airdrop. Don’t chase free tokens. If you believe in HyperGraph’s vision of decentralized identity, get involved now-not to get rich, but to help build something real. Join the testnet. Report bugs. Ask questions in their Discord. Write a tutorial. That’s the only path to real value.
And if someone promises you HGT tokens for free? Walk away. You’re not getting tokens. You’re giving away your wallet.

December 21, 2025 AT 17:36Stop clicking random links. HGT doesn’t exist. Not on Ethereum, not on Solana, not on any chain. If you’re seeing airdrop claims, your wallet’s already compromised. Just block and move on.

December 23, 2025 AT 09:00Really appreciate this breakdown. I was about to join a Discord group where they were pushing HGT claims-glad I held off. The Hyperliquid confusion makes total sense. Names are just too close. I’ve been following HyperGraph’s GitHub for a few months now, and yeah, the commits are legit but quiet. No hype, no shilling. That’s actually a good sign.

December 25, 2025 AT 23:23I love how this post doesn’t just say ‘don’t fall for scams’ but actually explains why people get tricked-because the name sounds cool and techy and we’re all just hoping for free money. I’ve been there. I clicked. I panicked. I cried. But now I’m just trying to learn. Not get rich. Just learn.

December 26, 2025 AT 17:21It is not accurate to assert that HyperGraph has no connection to Hyperliquid. Both entities utilize graph-based data structures in their architecture. The similarity is not coincidental. Furthermore, the absence of a token does not preclude the possibility of a pre-mainnet token allocation. The team may be employing a stealth launch strategy. Caution is warranted, but dismissal without evidence is intellectually lazy.

December 27, 2025 AT 19:53Yeah right, ‘no airdrop.’ Meanwhile, 300k people are signing up on fake sites. You think they care about your GitHub commits? They want the next 100x. This isn’t education. It’s gambling with your keys. And you’re just the guy holding the ladder.

December 28, 2025 AT 18:21it’s like when you believe in something so hard you start seeing it everywhere… like ghosts in your wifi router… i just wanna believe in the future of web3 but every time i get close someone asks me for my private key and i just… cry into my oat milk latte 🥲

December 29, 2025 AT 00:41I joined the testnet last month. Ran a validator node for two weeks. Got 120 points. No promises. No hype. Just quiet work. If HGT ever drops, cool. If not, I learned how nodes work. Worth it.

December 29, 2025 AT 09:07Why are Americans so gullible? In Russia we know fake airdrops are Western psyops to drain crypto wallets. This HyperGraph nonsense is just another NATO-financed scam. The team is probably based in Delaware. Trust no one.

December 29, 2025 AT 12:45Bro, I saw this same scam in India last month - fake ‘HGT’ site with Hindi and English mixed. People were sending USDT thinking they’d get HGT tokens. I reported it to the local cyber cell. They laughed. Said ‘crypto is wild here.’ But I told them: ‘It’s not wild, it’s stolen.’ If you’re reading this, go to hypergraph.network right now. Bookmark it. Don’t wait.

December 31, 2025 AT 06:46Man this post is fire. I’m from Nigeria and we got scammed so hard last year with ‘Binance airdrops’ that now I just check every link like it’s a landmine. HyperGraph? Sounds like a movie title. But if it’s real, I’ll join the testnet. Not for tokens. For the vibe. Blockchain should be about building, not begging.

January 1, 2026 AT 21:44Thank you for writing this with so much heart 🌱 I’ve been following HyperGraph since January and it’s rare to see a project that doesn’t scream ‘FREE MONEY’ at you. It’s quiet. It’s slow. It’s real. I’m not waiting for airdrops anymore. I’m waiting to see what happens when people actually build something that lasts. And I’m proud to be part of that.

January 3, 2026 AT 00:25There’s a quiet beauty in building something without shouting for attention. Most projects are loud. HyperGraph is just… there. Coding. Testing. Waiting. And that’s the kind of patience the crypto world needs right now. I’m not chasing tokens. I’m chasing integrity.

January 4, 2026 AT 17:34People who click on airdrop links deserve to lose their wallets. No one forced them. They wanted free shit. Now they’re mad when it turns out to be a trap. Grow up. Crypto isn’t a lottery. It’s a graveyard for the lazy.

January 6, 2026 AT 13:59I just shared this post with my mom. She thought I was investing in some new app. Now she gets it. She said, ‘If they’re asking for your keys, they’re not your friends.’ Best advice I’ve heard all week. 💛

January 6, 2026 AT 14:11What I find most interesting isn’t the scam - it’s why we keep falling for it. We don’t just want tokens. We want to belong to something meaningful. We want to be early. We want to be insiders. But real belonging doesn’t come from airdrops. It comes from showing up, even when no one’s watching. That’s the real HGT - not the token. The commitment.
