Sonic Labs Launches Massive S Token Airdrop for U.S. Users
Sonic Labs has announced a 200 million S token airdrop for its users and developers. This exciting news was shared on June 3 and confirmed on X. Notably, U.S.residents can now participate,which is rare for airdrops due to legal compliance.
The airdrop will use a gamified points system. Regular users earn Sonic Points, decentralized finance protocols get Sonic Gems, and game developers receive Game Gems. The first season of the airdrop will be claimable by December 2025.Initially, 25% of the tokens will be unlocked, with the rest vesting over 270 days. Early claims will face a linear decay mechanism, burning some tokens to manage supply and encourage long-term participation.
Users can stake thier S tokens at a 4.61% APY. OpenBlock and Sentio are supporting the airdrop. OpenBlock will optimize incentive allocation, while Sentio will track on-chain activity in real-time.
This airdrop follows Sonic Labs’ $10 million token sale to Galaxy on may 12. Galaxy, with over 1,300 institutional clients, will help Sonic expand in the U.S. Sonic has processed over $17 billion in decentralized exchange volume, with $4 billion monthly as January.
However, despite these developments, the S token has faced challenges. ItS down 22% in the past month, and the total value locked has decreased to $861 million, according to DeFiLlama data.
