Petitioning GC through Grandparents?
 
I'm over 21, and I am pretty sure the only similar application (I-130 I believe) would be through marriage.

Both my grandparents are citizens, my parent is becoming one as well. A girl can dream but has anyone explored this option under DACA? I have yet to read anything close to it.

The problem is that in order to tag along on a petition filed by a grandparent you have to be under 21 and unmarried and every year that's fewer and fewer people here. F1, F2A, F2B, and F3 all allow derivative children.

Considering that one of your parents is at least an LPR you can have the LPR (soon to be USC) parent petition for you or find an employer willing to sponsor for you or win the green card lottery, and then do an I-601A using the parent(s) as qualifying relative(s).

Unless you have 245(i) then anyone can petition for you (or you can win the green card lottery) and adjust without needing waivers.

I'm wondering if OP has been covered under DACA prior to the age of 18 (please correct me if I am wrong). In that case they would not face the 3-10 year ban when their petition as the Adult Son or Daughter of a US Citizen becomes current in the future.

Yeah that is true.
