Ethereum virtual machine blockchain Sonic Labs has officially made all seasons of its almost 200 million-token S airdrop available to U.S. residents, making it one of the first major crypto projects to include U.S. users in such a large-scale distribution.

The total airdrop allocation is 190,500,000 S tokens, distributed to incentivize users and developers in the Sonic ecosystem.

This story is an excerpt from the Unchained Daily newsletter.

The airdrop is structured around a points system in which users qualify to earn Sonic Points and Sonic Gems by holding or using whitelisted assets and using supported DeFi apps on the Sonic blockchain.

Assets must be held in non-custodial wallets, and assets on centralized exchanges are not eligible for the airdrop.

Sonic Labs evolved from the Fantom network, rebranding and launching in 2024 to deliver major technical improvements that couldn’t be achieved through a simple upgrade of Fantom.
