Sonic Labs will launch the S Token Airdrop in 2025, distributing approximately 190 million Tokens over multiple seasons to reward effective contributions to its blockchain ecosystem. The second season, starting in June 2025, will cancel passive points and will only reward real on-chain active behaviors, with loyalty multipliers set based on first season performance, up to a maximum of 3 times.
In the first quarter, users are allowed to instantly claim 25% of the Token, while the remaining 75% is minted into liquidity NFTs (fNFTs) and will be unlocked linearly over 270 days. The airdrop structure in the second quarter has been optimized to enhance user experience and avoid early controversies.
Driven by the news of Sonic Labs burning about 1.86 million Tokens, the Token price and TVL experienced significant growth in July 2025. The unfair distribution of the first quarter Airdrop to some users sparked controversy and community dissatisfaction, leading to a substantial decrease in TVL at one point.
It is recommended to use an EOA wallet to participate in compliant DeFi activities to accumulate active points. Maintain continuous participation to increase loyalty multipliers. Keep a close eye on the official distribution rules and carefully weigh the risks of burning penalties that may arise from early claims to ensure reasonable rewards.
The Sonic Airdrop strategy is transitioning from an initial entry-level incentive to a reward model focused on ecological activity and long-term loyalty. With the continuous expansion of the ecosystem and the launch of sub-projects like Spark, the potential of the S Token in the market has further increased, making it worthy of long-term attention.
