Inspiration & Problem Like a lot of people in crypto, I started out as a casual user: a few swaps here, a bridge there, some testnet interactions. Over time I completely lost track of which protocols I’d touched, on which chain, and whether I was eligible for any of their airdrops. I watched friends casually claim thousands of dollars from distributions I had totally missed – just because I didn’t know they existed or couldn’t be bothered to check four separate block explorers and half a dozen eligibility portals every week. The problem wasn’t that the airdrops weren’t there. It was that the process of finding them was scattered, manual, and time‑consuming. Most existing tools either required you to connect your wallet (which I didn’t always trust) or only checked one chain at a time. I wanted something that could scan multiple EVM networks in one go, without ever asking for a private key or seed phrase. That’s why I built DropsHub Terminal. The Build & Evolution The first prototype was just a Python script I ran locally. It pulled my balance from Etherscan, compared it against a hardcoded list of known airdrops, and printed a simple “eligible / not eligible” message. Ugly, but it saved me 30 minutes a day. I showed it to a few friends in a Telegram group, and they immediately wanted access. So I turned it into a Telegram bot (@dropshub_appbot). People loved the terminal‑style console output – it felt like a real hacker tool, not just another analytics dashboard. The bot could scan a wallet, show live gas and ETH price, and even reply in groups without being added (thanks to Telegram’s guest mode). After that, the web version came naturally. I built a single‑page app with the same dark‑theme terminal aesthetic, added a dashboard for organizing found airdrops, a watchlist, and a security module that simulates contract audits. Everything was done in public, with feature requests coming directly from early users. The Launch Process What started as a personal script turned into a full cross‑chain terminal in under three weeks. The biggest evolution happened when I realised people were just as excited about the experience as they were about the data – the animated scanning logs, the spinning progress indicators, the Fear & Greed index. That’s when I leaned hard into the “cyberpunk terminal” vibe, which is now the soul of the product. Launching on Product Hunt is the next step. I want to see if the product resonates with a wider audience, gather more feedback, and keep shipping fast. The long‑term goal is to add real‑time claim tracking, support for non‑EVM chains, and deeper integration with on‑chain identity – all while keeping the no‑wallet‑connection promise. Thanks for being part of the journey. 🚀

I built a free multi-chain airdrop scanner — would love your honest feedback

Hey everyone, I'm a solo dev and I built DropsHub to solve my own pain: checking Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum and Linea for unclaimed airdrops used to take forever. This tool scans all 4 chains at once, no wallet connection needed, just paste an address.

I'd love to hear what you think:

Is the UI clear enough?
Does the scanning speed feel right?
What feature would make you use this daily?
