The Benefits of Airdrops
Airdrops are a popular marketing strategy for DeFi protocols that offer rewards for early users. Many protocols use a points system to incentivize user engagement and prepare for potential airdrops.
How Solana Airdrops Work
Solana protocols often use a points system to determine token distribution in a potential airdrop. The more activities users perform on the protocol, such as lending or staking, the more points they collect. Distribution volumes are adjusted based on supply percentage and the number of tiers.
Solana’s Top Tokenless Protocols
Several top Solana protocols with substantial backing have yet to launch a token but have implemented points systems. Jupiter, Zeta Markets, MarginFi, Kamino Finance, Parcl, and Marinade Finance all have potential airdrops in the future.
Jupiter’s Airdrop Strategy
Jupiter has designated 40% of its JUP token supply for airdrops. Users who engaged with the platform before November 2022 qualify for the initial airdrop phase, with additional rounds of future airdrops planned.
Zeta Markets’ Airdrop Program
Zeta Markets has introduced the Z-Score program to reward users based on their trading activity. The top three traders in each season accumulate the most points and receive exclusive rewards.
MarginFi’s Potential Token Launch
MarginFi may launch a token in the future due to investor backing and the introduction of a points system. Users can earn points through lending, borrowing, and referrals to potentially qualify for an airdrop.
Kamino Finance’s Dynamic Points System
Kamino Finance has introduced a points system with Seasons to incentivize user activity. Users can engage in various platform features to earn points and potentially participate in the $KMNO Genesis Airdrop.
Parcl’s Real Estate Investment Platform
Parcl rewards liquidity providers through its points system. Users can earn points by providing liquidity in LP Pools, trading, and referring others to the platform.
Marinade Finance’s Staking Protocol
Marinade Finance is a liquid staking protocol that offers rewards for staking SOL tokens. Users can use mSOL on supported protocols like MarginFi to increase their chances of qualifying for an airdrop.
Hot Take: The Potential of Solana Airdrops
Solana’s ecosystem is filled with tokenless protocols that utilize points systems, indicating potential airdrops in the future. These airdrops provide users with opportunities for rewards and engagement with the protocols. While the launch of tokens and confirmed airdrops are speculative, active participation in these protocols can increase your chances of receiving an airdrop once tokens are introduced. Keep an eye on these promising projects and make the most of their points systems to potentially benefit from future airdrops.
