$DRIFT from Drift protocol announced: https://twitter.com/DriftFDN/status/1780213283095552507



Bit of recap on projects mentioned in op; MarginFI was letdown, Kamino had announced points quite a while back and eligibility checker for $KMNO went live recently, $TNSR was good, SolBlaze already had reward system for staking $SOL there, which I didn't know back then.

Kamino points announced, points will be used for $KMNO airdrop, details here: https://twitter.com/Kamino_Finance/status/1748386356470976821
More details revealed: https://twitter.com/KaminoFinance/status/1765750290332954956

Kamino points season 1 snapshot will be taken on March 31st, and users will be distributed tokens after TGE in April proportional to points earned.
There are still many theories about the snapshot that Kamino announced, there is a lot of speculation that by announcing the snapshot they are adding TVL but that is the speculation of the airdrop group that I joined.

Because we know snapshots are always not announced when exactly, because it's a secret but Kamino announced on March 31 that could add or spike to their TVL. Grin

Well, Kamino announced points system and proportional airdrop to it months ago, recent update is about when it's going to happen and token use cases, etc. The way crypto market is right now, I don't mind farming projects even if they announce airdrop beforehand.

Allurement of airdrop helps project in several ways including TVL, so yeah it's true and I have no problem with that.

But in season 1 has added/borrowed $250 points still if far from whales. Shocked

Well, I also joined Parcl a few days ago, LP 56$... ladder is also rated well, LP 4 points/ 1usdc, transaction 2 points/ 1 usdc. They are preparing to expand the trading market in a few places, I will also vote to have it ready soon. Interesting project, My current total score is 522. rank is more than 98000. Lol

My statistics look more positive, obviously due to the fact that I have been staking USDC since the first season and have not withdrawn it since then. Season 1 participants have an additional bonus of 5% and thus I now have 67459 ps, which corresponds to 16936 place in the overall rating, in which 119164 participants participate. I hope you use a referral code that adds 5% to your earned points.

I think you forgot to add Parcl to the list of Solana speculation airdrops. It’s usually an RWA project on the Solana chain.

They are now on Season 2 and is highly speculating an airdrop due to the points system they have either by providing LP, trading and referrals.

You can check it here: https://app.parcl.co

The hype trend for the Solana airdrop is currently busy with the community exploring the Solana ecosystem, many are chasing points from several Solana ecosystems, it is rumored that there will be an airdrop with a system of converting points to coins from the project. Not only the ecosystem, the Solana network meme coin also follows. Many investors try to buy the Solana meme coin in the hope of a 10x/100k increase

Hmmm...  So Solana is down again, like 'again' from a couple of years ago when the chain got stuck.  Well it's happening again.  :/  And I got open perp positions in Drift that are losing and going below their stop losses.  This sucks.  I think I'm gonna close my lending and borrowing positions from Kamino, close all perp trades at Drift and pill liq from Meteora.  This chain will get stuck again, I sht you not.  And it's going to he during a full blown bull market with more users getting their money stuck.  

Anyway, DYM is gonna start trading in a couple of hours...  Stay safe out there.

I think currently there are so many new projects developing and distributing their tokens as airdrops to the community that supports and helps them.
you can look at other ecosystems and not just focus on Solana.

You are right because most of the ecosystem is using airdrop hype to get more volume and users. This started with solana ecosystem and after that, ATOM, INJ, TIA and even some of the ETH projects were also doing massive airdrops. This is a good approach for a project to distribute the token to a wide range of communities in exchange for their activity and social media presence to develop the project. The craziness of solana ecosystem airdrop is going down, and now people are farming LSD and LST protocol airdrops, as speculated by eigen layer airdrop farmers.

Jupiter, Jito and couple others peanut amount so not worth mentioning already did airdrop. I think airdrop season on Solana is just starting and might be worth to give projects a try there. Even if these projects themselves don't do airdrop, we might see interaction with them counted in future by other projects, as we have seen happen on ethereum ecosystem.

Some potential ones:

1) https://app.drift.trade/ — perp dex, you can long arb with 3x leverage, and leave it for a while   Tongue

2) https://www.mfi.gg/r- lend/borrow platform

3) https://www.tensor.trade/ — nft marketplace

4) https://stake.solblaze.org/ — liquid staking platform

5) https://app.kamino.finance/ — borrow/lend platform



Good luck!

Is it too late getting into these projects or is there time?  I've been looking for Solana projects to spend some spare time with but I'm not really sure what the good ones are...  I'm thinking Drift could be a good one since it's a perps exchange.  Could never go wrong with that.  Grin

Drift and Kamino has announced points which you can farm right now, and these points will be later converted for proportional airdrop. There is also points system for MarginFI but not news about airdrop yet.

Quote
And looking at your list, I'm thinking lend and borrow stables at Kamino then use that to do another round of lending and borrowing at MFI then go to drift and open a perp trade.  Lol.

I have done similar, minus using borrowed funds somewhere else and not on drift.

If anyone staked 10 sol before snapshot date (nov 25), you would have received about 5k jito, worth about $10k at current price.

You can find more tokenless protocols here: https://defillama.com/airdrops?chain=Solana
Be careful using this platform for identifying airdrops because not all listed there are legit, some could be scams. Just verify it always after you see them in this list.

About the airdrop, I am really looking forward now to liquid staking and DEX/Lending platform. Solana, Marinade, and Jito are the proof of airdrops on liquid staking platforms.
But if you are just looking for chances, just try every tokenless is worth, even the NFT platform. As in Solana, you will only pay very few amount of fees.

I just used Tensor yesterday, it's so beautiful, even without airdrop I want to use it again and again. Nfts there are also much better than what you find on ethereum.

Thank you for this list OP, so this doesn't have yet some snapshots and we're still early?

I dunno, airdrops are all gamble, this why if we get lucky reward is huge, as in case of jito, there were below 10k people who got the reward that's why it is worth so much.

I just trust that i'll get some from projects i am using passionately,

Yea, that's how it's supposed to be. But ngl, it feels bad when you miss a good one.

Yeah I just heard about this. Honestly I’ve been doing the wrong airdrops like LayerZero and Zksync when I should of been these projects like that.

It’s crazy because we all assumed SOL would go to zero but here it is with such a huge airdrop. Reminds me of ARB and those other 4-5 figure air drops.

I think most of us airdrop hunters feel very sad about not knowing or positioning ourselves well enough to benefit from the solana chain airdrop. But that does not make layerzero and zksync bad, the only problem is the amount of people farming this airdrop is way more than Jito, pyth and jup airdrop.
Although layerzero has just recently confirmed the zro token and airdrop to the community same as Starknet. judging by the number of participants it will be no way near what people received from jito and jup.
So i wouldn't condemn LZ and ZKsync just yet until the full official information about eligibility is out.

And right after i was talking with people who hunted airdrops this year, They sounded defeated that there won't be any cool airdrops anymore, that those days are over and one in a million change to get a good one.

Obviously it is. No one has money to put into every project, staking and trading etc in hopes of hitting right snapshot date and getting something back. It's pure luck or you need to know the people who are organizing the airdrop. i am guessing my friends missed out this too. I still won't be hunting airdrops myself, even though it's almost as tempting as gambling. But i feel with gambling i have better odds. I just trust that i'll get some from projects i am using passionately,

I've already notice this airdrops as the Twitter community is alive again so I think it's worthwhile if you did a thing or two to be somehow eligible on this. I'm more into Ethereum but I think Solana's comeback is imminent considering it already jump 3x from the lows just the recent month.

I don't think LayerZero and zkSync Era are already concluded as "wrong airdrops".

You might want to check the latest about LayerZero airdrop here: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/12/08/layerzero-confirms-airdrop-plans-boosting-some-ecosystem-projects/

As for zkSync Era and other ones like Linea, Base, Venom, Fuel, Starknet, etc., I am still betting on it knowing that these big projects are just playing mind games to test us and will be dropping a big surprise in the future.
Didn't knew such term " wrong airdrops " exit either, lol. I don't think we can call them wrong, only because their value is lesser than the other ones. The amount of airdrop that we can get will also depend on our performance and other requirements, so some can still get a good amounts from those projects. Cryptos aren't only or mainly about the airdrops.

In fact, they are only like a bonus for supporting some crypto projects. Layer Zero and ZkSync are I think still good performing coins, and that is also what the majority are saying, so we can still benefit greatly on them if we utilize them properly (e.g through investing, or trading).

I was not expecting Jito airdrop to be that massive. I'm surprised that there weren't even 10k eligible wallets for the airdrop. I posted about it last month 2 weeks before the snapshot, hopefully someone read it and implemented the strategy.

For me, staking during a bull run has been akin to hitting two birds with one stone as enjoying the rewards from staking and potentially benefiting from the rising value of the staked assets.
Same case here. Staking Solana in the past months has been not just hitting two birds for me, but more because of the potential airdrop from several projects. I mainly stake it on Jito, then deposit those JitoSOL into margin.fi. Both protocols (Jito and Margin) have points system which likely is meant for their upcoming airdrop. So with that strategy I got:

  • 7% SOL yield
  • Rising SOL price
  • Jito points
  • Margin.fi points

That's four birds with one stone.

Anyway, good list OP! Jupiter airdrop will also have 4 phases, so it's still highly recommended to use the protocol regularly (where else would you swap duh Cheesy). Another thing, Solblaze already had a token $BLZE, though they still have a reward system for users who stake and provide liquidity for $bSOL

Well they could be but meanwhile Jito out of blue giving $10k bare minimum airdrop is quite a feel, let's see how projects you mentioned give airdrop or not and if they do, how much.

The rise of Solana ecosystem makes me believe it is indeed a real challenger to Ethereum, with all that has been written about it. I think the team just realised their mistakes and are trying to rectify it, you need to make your community rich, not all these big VCs that do not use your platform, this is what helps Ethereum, with the airdrops, it is going to encourage a lot of people to shift to the ecosystem. Happy for the Solana devs

One good thing about solana is transactions are cheap compared to ethereum, plus I don't think it's team rectifying mistakes as it's projects built on Solana giving airdrops not or Solana itself, but yea if you mean Solana devs making platform welcoming for projects to come in, that I agree.

good information but I missed 2 Solana, Jupiter and Jitosol, I was surprised that the wallet had 100 eligible points for Jito Sol, so it looks like the airdrop is not for the middle class, because to get 100 points you have to stake 2000$ more or less to be eligible .

I am too late with the JitoSOL as I do not have enough points to qualify despite that I have already staked. But for Jupiter, I am only eligible for 200 JUP.

You forgot to mention about PYTH which is also a Solana-related airdrop and I did not qualify as well. I am now staking my SOL into MarginFi which is also rumored to have an airdrop for those who are staking and using their platform.
