- Sonic airdrop will reward Solayer AVS and Adrastea users in early 2025.
- Participants obtain liquidity access through Solana’s DeFi systems.
Sonic, the first Layer 2 on Solana, has announced an airdrop program to compensate its Solayer AVS delegators and Adrastea participants. Scheduled to take place before the Token Generation Event (TGE) in early 2025, this program allows early adopters to benefit from the growth of the ecosystem.
There will be a snapshot of eligible users ahead of the TGE, including those delegating SOL and Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs), as well as participants in Adrastea, a restaking protocol integrated with Solayer. The airdrop strategy reflects a dual reward strategy, thus Sonic demonstrates an interest in encouraging active participation and supporting its stakeholders.
Strengthen Solana’s DeFi ecosystem
Sonic currently administers $80 million in SOL delegations through 81,000 unique users, making it a major force in Solana’s staking landscape. Today’s airdrop highlights Sonic’s commitment to fostering the growing liquid staking ecosystem on Solana. It contributes to Solayer, which has a total value locked above $360 million.
Orca and Meteora will reward participants with tokens and liquidity. Users can stake in the process of exploring opportunities in DeFi, and this is in line with the overall growth of the liquid staking market of Solana, which currently stands at over $2 billion.
Sonic’s CEO Chris Zhu said that the initiative was to reward early supporters, This airdrop reflects our commitment to those who have driven Sonic’s growth. We recognize Solayer delegators and Adrastea participants to empower our community and foster broader engagement.
The token airdrop of Sonic is intended to build a successful community-based ecosystem. It can be done by rewarding early adopters with incentives such as liquidity and access to DeFi, thus making Sonic the forerunner in the staking revolution on Solana. This not only rewards existing contributors but also sets the atmosphere for further adoption in the vibrant DeFi space on Solana.
