This round of @SonicLabs airdrop, many people are still stuck in the first phase, taking the Gems and leaving.

But if you have seen the official explanation, the key point is that the later 190 million $S is released in batches through Points.

The method is not complicated, as long as you have assets in your wallet and participate in the Sonic chain ecosystem normally, the system will automatically record your points for this season. After the expiration, $S will be distributed according to the points ratio, without snatching, without competing, and without relying on luck.

This design is actually more suitable for the current market rhythm. It does not involve back-and-forth competition but is more like "if you are really using it, the system will gradually reward you". For many people, it is much more comfortable than trying to compete for interactions.

Additionally, regarding the price of $S, there indeed was some fluctuation recently, but if you look at the on-chain situation, you will find that the volume hasn’t dropped much, and locked positions are still increasing. Platforms like Aave, Silo, and Beefy have all launched, indicating that the ecosystem is still progressing.

The overall performance of the chain is also good; it has all the necessary experiences, low latency, no fees, dynamic Gas, and account abstraction has been implemented. You basically don’t have to worry about the processes of swapping coins or bridging, and new users can easily get started.

So if you have doubts about $S, it might be better to clarify the Points rules before making a decision. It is not a one-time airdrop; it is a long-term points system that releases in batches. In short, if you keep it here now, you might still be able to earn every season after two or three months.

Anyway, the risk of farming is low; just assess the situation.
