Binance has announced a new reward for its users, this time for $BNB holders who participated in Binance Earn products during a qualifying period. They received a free distribution of $SOPH, as part of a new program known as HODLer Airdrops. In this article, we will learn everything about this program and how to benefit from it.
🪂 What is the HODLer Airdrops program?
HODLer Airdrops is a rewards program launched by Binance to distribute new tokens to users who hold $BNB and participate in Binance Earn products (whether flexible or locked or On-Chain Earn).
Instead of needing to register for every new Airdrop campaign, Binance automatically takes snapshots of users' $BNB balances and analyzes them to determine who is eligible for the distribution, then sends the rewards directly to the qualified wallets.
💰 How to benefit from the HODLer Airdrops program?
To benefit from this program and earn new tokens for free, you must follow these steps:
Own $BNB in your account on the Binance platform.
Subscribe with $BNB to one of Binance Earn products:
Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked)
On-Chain Earn
Hold BNB during the period announced by Binance for each distribution.
Wait for the automatic distribution: no need to register, Binance does everything automatically.
If you are eligible, the new token will be sent to your Spot wallet on Binance.
🔎 Practical Example: Distribution of $SOPH token
In the last distribution on May 28, 2025, Binance granted $SOPH (from the Sophon project) to $BNB holders who participated in Earn products during the period from May 14 to May 17, 2025.
Distribution details:
Token: $SOPH
Distributed amount: 150 million $SOPH

Project type: Entertainment based on ZK Stack technology
Trading pairs:

🧠 What is the Sophon ($SOPH) project:
Sophon is an innovative entertainment project that relies on advanced technologies like ZK Stack and Web3, aiming to provide a decentralized entertainment experience supported by artificial intelligence. The project is in its early stages and considered high risk, thus categorized under 'Seed' projects.
⚠️ Important Alerts:
You do not need to manually register for the HODLer Airdrops program, just make sure you hold $BNB and participate in Earn.
Random snapshots are taken during the specified periods, so you must be a participant throughout the qualification period.
The distributed tokens are often new, thus highly volatile and risky.
The distributed token can be sold or held according to your strategy.
📌 How to prepare for the upcoming airdrop?
Buy $BNB from Binance.
Go to the Earn section and choose 'Simple Earn'.
Subscribe to flexible or locked products with $BNB.
Follow the official Binance announcements page for upcoming campaign dates.
📣 Conclusion:
The HODLer Airdrops program is a great opportunity for Binance users to earn new digital tokens without additional risk, just by holding $BNB and participating in Earn products. This is a smart move by Binance to encourage users to HODL and increase the use of its platform.
If you missed $SOPH, don't worry — new opportunities are coming. Prepare $BNB and get ready for the next reward!
