Sonic Blockchain Airdrops 190.5 Million $S Tokens to Its Users

Previously known as Fantom, Sonic has launched a significant airdrop campaign offering 190.5 million of its native $S tokens.

Sonic Blockchain, previously Fantom, is launching 190.5 million of its native S tokens in a significant airdrop campaign.

Claiming Airdrop Rewards

Sonic's first airdrop season rewards become claimable around June 2025, six months after the initial token launch. Participants can immediately claim 25% of their earned tokens, with the remaining 75% vesting gradually over the subsequent 270 days.

For instance, if Andrew earns 1,000 S tokens, he immediately receives 250 tokens, while the remaining tokens vest over time. A speculative NFT marketplace will allow trading of vested airdrop allocations.

Three Ways to Earn Sonic Points

Passive Points

Users can earn passive points by holding whitelisted assets directly in their web3 wallets, such as Rabby or MetaMask, including hardware wallets—wallets that are connected to the Sonic Points page.

However, assets held on centralized exchanges are not eligible, Sonic Labs clarified.

These are called passive points because for every whitelisted asset that a participant holds, they will earn multipliers.

These whitelisted assets are (multiplier):

Activity Points

Activity points are earned by deploying whitelisted assets as liquidity on participating apps, which provide 2x the amount of points compared to simply holding assets passively.

These whitelisted assets for activity points are WETH, scUSD, scETH, scBTC, LBTC, SolvBTC, and SolvBTC.BBN.

App Points, a.k.a. Gems

This is a “developer-focused portion,” where apps compete for an airdrop allocation known as Sonic Gems.

Technically, dApps built on top of Sonic should attract more users during the campaign by hosting their own points program. After the campaign, they will earn S, and they will decide how they will distribute these rewards to their participants.

For participants, Sonic Labs advised that they should use their instincts to join the points program that they think will reward them the most S.

The S airdrop includes a developer-focused portion, where apps compete for an airdrop allocation known as Sonic Gems. Apps can redeem these Gems for S tokens, which they can then distribute to their users however they want.

Sonic's Own Testnet Campaign

There are also dApps within Sonic's testnet that are currently having their own points system.

These dApps can be seen on "The Sonic Arcade," a digital playground that features three play-to-earn games: Plinko, Mines, and Wheel.

Airdrop hunters can also try these games to earn airdrop rewards. This points system on the Sonic testnet will be until the end of the first season.

Sonic DApps With Own Points Campaign

Again, these are the dApps that are built on top of the Soinc blockchain and are trying to attract more users to earn their own $S.

After earning $S rewards, they will distribute these to the participants of their own points campaign.

Out of the 140 Sonic-based dApps, there are 44 known dApps that will let participants farm activity points and app points.

But here are the 10 dApps that are on the top list of Sonic Labs:
