Sonic Labs isn’t just building a faster chain—they’re building a fairer one. And right now, they’re handing out 190.5 million $S tokens to the community through one of the most generous, transparent, and well-structured airdrops we’ve seen in a long time.

Unlike the vast majority of airdrops based on speculation and hype, Sonic's program is built to reward substance-over-style participation—whether you hold, build, or actively participate in the ecosystem. If you're interested in actually earning, here's the complete rundown on how it works and how to get started.

The Basics: What Is the Sonic Airdrop?

Sonic’s airdrop is powered by its FeeM-based ecosystem, where users and builders earn based on real activity—not speculation. The airdrop distributes points, which later convert to $S tokens.

There are two primary ways to earn:

• Passive Points: Simply hold eligible assets in your wallet.
• Activity Points: Deploy those assets across Sonic dApps and interact with the network.

The more value you contribute, the more you earn.

Eligible Assets & Multipliers

Not all tokens earn points at the same rate. Sonic applies different multipliers depending on the asset’s alignment with its ecosystem:

• scUSD & stkscUSD – 6x multiplier
• USDC.e – 5x multiplier
• scETH, stkscETH, S, wS, stS – 4x multiplier
• ONE, wETH, solvBTC – 2x multiplier
  
  

Tip: Higher multipliers mean faster point accumulation, so choosing your assets wisely can significantly impact your airdrop allocation.

How to Earn Sonic Points

Getting started is straightforward. Below is the step-by-step guide to participate.

1. Set Up a Compatible Wallet
   Use a Web3 wallet like MetaMask, Rabby, or any wallet that supports the Sonic network.
   
   
2. Hold Eligible Tokens
   Acquire and hold the tokens listed above. Make sure they remain in your wallet to generate Passive Points.
   
   
3. Engage With Sonic dApps
   To boost your rewards, interact with dApps within the Sonic ecosystem. Activities like providing liquidity or staking assets can unlock additional Activity Points.
   
   
4. Track Your Progress
   Use the Sonic Labs Points Dashboard to view your real-time score and monitor your performance across both passive and active contributions.

What Are Sonic Gems?

Some applications within the Sonic ecosystem offer Sonic Gems—bonus reward layers that can be earned through app-specific tasks or liquidity programs.

Think of Gems as “booster packs” for your airdrop strategy. Accumulating Gems alongside your points can significantly enhance your final $S token allocation.

So, When’s the Airdrop?

The claim date for the Sonic airdrop is currently estimated for June 2025. Once the airdrop becomes claimable, participants will receive 25% of their allocated $S tokens immediately. The remaining 75% will be distributed through a linear vesting schedule over a period of 270 days, ensuring a more gradual and sustainable release of tokens into the market.

To complement this controlled distribution, Sonic has also implemented a token burn mechanism. This mechanism progressively diminishes the overall supply of $S over time, serving to combat inflation and establish long-term value for token holders. Taken together, these initiatives demonstrate Sonic's dedication to sound tokenomics and sustainable ecosystem growth.

Why This Airdrop Matters

Most airdrops tend to function as short-term growth hacks—designed to generate hype, drive quick user numbers, and then fade just as fast. Sonic’s airdrop is fundamentally different. It represents a long-term, incentive-aligned model built to reward genuine contribution and sustained engagement.

Rather than distributing tokens for the sake of speculation, Sonic rewards actual network usage. It attracts committed users who provide real liquidity and value to the ecosystem. For developers, it removes the pressure to launch unsustainable tokens or chase fundraising rounds just to keep building. Instead, they can focus on product and performance, knowing that incentives are directly tied to usage and impact.

This is not just an airdrop—it’s a participation-driven launch strategy. One that embodies Sonic’s core philosophy: reward the builders, users, and contributors who are actively shaping the future of the network.

The Sonic airdrop isn’t just another token giveaway—it’s an invitation to be part of a high-performance, builder-first ecosystem from day one. If you're serious about earning $S, maximizing your points, and staying ahead of the curve, this is your next move:
