If a project initially announces an airdrop of 100 million dollars, would you participate after hearing it? Compared to many projects that promise airdrops but ultimately disappoint everyone at TGE, can Sonic's rebranding bring life back to the market, refocusing attention and funds? Are you ready? Let's enter the cryptocurrency world together with Brother J~
Although everyone may already be very familiar, let me briefly explain that Sonic is a high-performance blockchain evolved from Fantom, and Sonic's native token$S will officially replace $FTM at a 1:1 exchange rate with the mainnet launch at the end of 2024. The core idea of evolution is to build Sonic into a Layer1 token with DeFi advantages. The following benefits have considerable influence on on-chain interactions, efficiency, and transaction fees. Sonic can process up to tens of thousands of transactions per second with transaction costs below 0.01 USD. This feature will help improve the on-chain interaction experience for investors. It is EVM compatible, allowing developers to directly migrate Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to the Sonic chain. Compared to non-EVM blockchains like Solana and Aptos, Sonic can deploy DeFi projects more easily.
Total locked value is steadily increasing. According to DeFiLlama, Sonic's total locked value (TVL) was only 26 million USD at the beginning of 2025, but it has now reached nearly 1 billion in just a few months, growing over 40 times, indicating investors' recognition of Sonic DeFi. Today, we are talking about Sonic, which is a staking DeFi task with an operation difficulty of 3.5 points and a cost of 5 points. The more funds you invest, the higher your returns will be. Rewards vary by individual; the earlier you participate and the more funds you have, the more points you will accumulate. Time spent is rated at 3 points; it can be completed in one go, and subsequent points will accumulate.
Sonic's mainnet has a total supply of 3.175 billion tokens, but the official claims to mint an additional 6%, about 190 million tokens as airdrop incentive rewards, primarily hoping to increase Sonic's usage and attract investors to engage in DeFi activities. The method of participating in the airdrop will be explained later. Many investors may worry that additional S tokens will negatively affect long-term prices, so Sonic's official team has introduced the following three destruction mechanisms to prevent excessive token inflation. This reward is unlocked through a linear decay mechanism. A special aspect is that Sonic's official team allows users to claim airdrop rewards in $S early, but the earlier you claim, the fewer rewards you can receive. The unclaimed portion will be permanently destroyed. The following diagram shows the linear destruction of Sonic's airdrop; the x-axis represents time, and the y-axis represents the percentage of destruction. At present, you can claim a certain proportion of the rewards, and the remaining amount will depend on when you claim it. The earlier you claim, the less the reward, but you can also avoid a continuous price drop. Therefore, all of our rewards this time will be less than what you see, but everyone decides how to sell or continue holding.
Now let's officially enter the topic. Brother J will first demonstrate the most basic operation mode, which has the lowest risk and is the safest, suitable for those of us who are not very familiar with airdrops. Finally, I will tell you about the advanced gameplay, so make sure to watch until the end. To obtain airdrop points, you must use several methods. Passive Points are earned by holding assets on the whitelist to accumulate personal points. There are many assets here, including various liquidity staking tokens (LST) and basic native tokens. You can choose based on your personal strategy and preferences. If you hold them, a certain proportion of points will be allocated to you every hour. Next, Activity Points are gained by participating in designated DApps, allowing you to get additional points. Combining passive points can speed up point accumulation, but these DApps must be approached with caution. Sonic's official team will not acknowledge any compensation for losses, as they are not official, just deployed on the S chain. You must carefully select them. Finally, by investing in various projects, you will earn a certain proportion of GEMS, which will later be converted into airdrop tokens for participating users, whether they are project tokens or S tokens.
Today, Brother J does not plan to use S tokens for operations, as I do not hold S tokens in my assets. I prefer to use stablecoins for deposits, which are safe and do not suffer from price losses, and there is no need to worry about not hedging risks. Although this will reduce passive points, it allows me to have more funds to invest in activity points. The costs for both are similar, but there will be no risk during a crash, which is ideal. To achieve high scores, I will first mint scUSD and connect my wallet. I will mint scUSD using Ethereum's USDC. You can see that this point is calculated at six times, much more than many similar stablecoin assets, and you will also earn GEMS, Rings, and VEDA points, which is very beneficial. Entering Rings, I will first convert tokens. Brother J will put some assets in to test the waters. Of course, I also need to be aware of the risks of loss at any time, but the security is relatively high.
This time I am using Bybit's web3 wallet. I must first transfer some S tokens as transaction fees for all subsequent interactions. Additionally, the S chain and its token information can be added from the video description, so you can view all information. Well, we need about 5U worth of S in the wallet to start subsequent activities.
Waiting for authorization of token amounts and deposits. Once completed, it signifies that the conversion was successful. I received about 0.1U in fees, which is actually not expensive. Sonic takes very good care of its users, so I encourage everyone to come and try it out. At this point, Brother J will also introduce a more advanced method, staking scUSD to earn stkscUSD. Did you notice the difference? That's right, we have started to earn passive points. This is a very good staking method that allows you to play with the project and also enhances the points you earn. Again, wait for the authorization of token amounts. After successfully obtaining stkscUSD, you can settle down and earn an APY of 5.1%, especially with a 24-fold bonus and Rings and VEDA points. To unstake and convert back to USDC will take 5 days, and a fee of 0.01% will be charged.
However, Brother J knows that your curiosity will not be satisfied. Yes, the third level of bonuses is here. We enter the locked position, which operates under a governance voting token distribution model. You can lock for 1-52 weeks, with unlock periods every Thursday morning. When the time comes, you can withdraw your tokens or continue to lock. What are the benefits of locking? Besides the rewards mentioned above, Rings itself also has a points activity. Locking scUSD is the best way to get it, with 3 times the Rings points, while previously mentioned methods only provide 2 times. After locking, you can earn about 100U, which will give you 0.1 voting rights that you can cast for your favorite projects, thus increasing the yield of the collateral in the project, which is the 5.1% APY of Rings, potentially even higher. Large stakers can use this to continuously expand their yields, and we can observe which methods are more beneficial to us, thereby increasing the airdrop ratio.
The airdrop will be sent out in June, which is about a month away. Let's seize the time to participate. If you gained anything from the video, you can use my referral code GJNMRT to earn me a 10% point rebate. After the event concludes, I will also take a portion of the revenue to conduct a lottery in the group for you crypto friends, creating a positive cycle of gratitude. Next, let's try to earn maximum points. If you have any questions, feel free to join the DC group to ask. I will definitely help you complete the Sonic airdrop and achieve the goal of financial freedom.
After explaining Brother J's demonstration operations, some clever crypto friends will surely realize that we can complete a cycle of minting, swapping, and depositing to achieve a very high multiplier, with an APY yield of 50-100% or even higher. Let me first talk about the Silo circular loan, which is perhaps the most popular and relatively simple strategy on Sonic right now, aimed at maximizing point rewards while earning basic yields. This strategy will utilize the mainstream lending protocol Silo v2 on Sonic. By staking S or swapping any token for stS, you can obtain some stS. Deposit stS into the Silo Finance S/stS lending market, which will earn you Sonic points, Silo points (allocated by GEMS), and yields. stS currently generates about 5% in basic returns, in addition to the Silo deposit APY, and then borrow S from the market, swapping the borrowed S for stS. Then deposit stS back into Silo Finance.
In this way, you can essentially achieve 20 times leverage. For every stS you deposit, you can earn 8 times the Sonic points and 1 Silo point (amplified to 20 times). Additionally, for every S you borrow, you can earn an extra 0.5 Silo points (also amplified to 20 times). Furthermore, you can still earn 2% in basic returns through your stS deposits.
Next, we discuss the strategy combination of Euler Finance + Rings Protocol. Users can deposit these assets into Rings and mint Rings version liquidity derivative tokens, which can be staked or locked to earn additional yields, or used within the Sonic ecosystem. Minting Rings liquidity derivative tokens can earn Sonic Points and Rings Points (allocated by GEMS); Euler offers a one-click circular loan feature that allows you to quickly obtain 10 times leverage through highly correlated strategies. The specific steps are as follows: select the market on Euler currently offering extra rewards. If you choose to deposit Rings version liquidity derivative tokens, you must first mint them within the Rings protocol. Use Euler's Multiply function for one-click circular loans to achieve the desired leverage. This strategy also has other additional opportunities, such as rumors that Rings will also conduct an airdrop, adding more yield expectations to this strategy.
But don't rush in just because you see such high yields. Using circular loans involves many costs and risks. Circular loans essentially mean that you deposit Asset A as collateral, borrow Asset B, and then swap Asset B back into Asset A for deposit, repeating this process several times. If you initially have 100 units of Asset A, you might end up with 1000 units of Asset A and borrow 900 units of Asset B. The earnings from minting and holding will also stack on top. The above example is equivalent to 10 times leverage. The real challenge is not operating circular loans but first borrowing assets, which requires swapping. There will be DEX transaction fees, at least 1%. If an uninformed user operates recklessly, it could lead to a significant loss of redeemable time and basis erosion. Many online share experiences indicate that participants were initially excited but later found that redeeming consumed 2% of their total invested capital, and the airdrop amount was insufficient to offset the losses. The scariest part is encountering extreme price fluctuations, where if the health factor falls below 1, the platform will forcibly liquidate. Without proper risk control, the invested funds could disappear in an instant. Hacks can also cause the platform to experience huge volatility. Therefore, circular loans are reserved for true experts; we should avoid becoming lambs to the slaughter and simply collect airdrop benefits steadily.
