The Nansen Points Program Season 1 officially launched on June 17. As a veteran platform in the on-chain data analysis field, its points system has drawn market attention due to its strong correlation with future airdrops. Moreover, Layer 1 public chain SKATE, AI-driven social platform SOPHON, and cross-chain infrastructure RELAY PROTOCOL have recently announced airdrop news. Below are the detailed analyses and participation guides for each project:
I. Nansen
Project Background
Nansen was founded in 2020, raised $88.2 million in total financing, and has a valuation of $750 million. Its core function is to parse on-chain fund flows by tagging wallet addresses such as exchanges, VCs, and high-net-worth individuals, serving institutional investors and professional traders. Its platform has over 120,000 staking users, with significant ecosystem activity.
Airdrop Strategy: Points Program Season 1
Core Logic: Accumulate points through 'Staking + Subscription + Invitation', with the amount of points directly affecting future airdrop weights.
1. Points Earning Methods
Subscription Levels: Free Version: Basic features only, very low probability of earning points; Pioneer Version ($99/month): Suitable for individual users, moderate points earning efficiency; Professional Version ($499/month): Enterprise-level analysis tools, fastest points accumulation speed.
Staking Tokens:
Supported Tokens: Popular new coins like Hype, Tia, Ron, as well as mainstream assets like Sol, Atom, Strk;
Operational Advantages: No KYC required for staking, the larger the amount, the faster the points increase, with total platform staking exceeding $1 billion.
Social Split:
Share the exclusive invitation link on Twitter/Telegram. For each successful invitation of a new user (who must complete email registration + basic interaction), the inviter will receive 100 points;
Submit proof of social influence (e.g., a social media account with ≥500 followers) to unlock 'Super Invitation' privileges, increasing the single-user invitation reward to 200 points.
2. Airdrop Outlook
Although the project party has not clarified the token airdrop rules, referring to the quantitative qualification model designed by Arbitrum in conjunction with Nansen, it is speculated that future airdrops will allocate tokens based on points ranking, with a focus on rewarding staking users and highly active invitees. It is recommended to prioritize a combination of Professional subscription + large-scale staking for rapid points accumulation.
II. Skate
Project Highlights
As a modular Layer 1 public chain, Skate has attracted over 180 dApps, handling 18 million transactions in the first month, and secured $37 million in financing from institutions like Polychain and Sequoia China. Its ecosystem airdrop revolves around Ollies points, achieved through NFT minting and multi-chain interactions.
Airdrop Strategy: Multi-chain NFT minting + Points exchange
1. Basic Operation on the TON Chain (limited time 500 points / each)
Open the Telegram bot 'Skateboard Workshop Bot', click 'Mint Now' to mint random skateboard component (trucks/wheels/deck) NFTs;
After collecting 3 types of components, synthesize a complete skateboard NFT in the 'Inventory' tab, with each synthesized NFT earning 500 Ollies points (limited time reward before June 30, afterward reverting to 1,000 points);
Additional conditions for EVM wallets: must first complete the 'Build a Skateboard' task on Galxe (bind wallet + retweet), otherwise points cannot be earned on chains such as ETH/BSC.
2. Cross-chain Full Ecosystem Operations (500 points / chain)
Visit the Stake Chain Park official website, connect your Galxe certified wallet, and select from 23 supported chains (such as Aptos/Sui/Polygon);
Repeat the 'Mint Components → Synthesize NFT' process on each chain, earning 500 points for synthesizing 1 skateboard NFT on a single chain, with no upper limit for multi-chain accumulation;
Maximizing Earnings Tip: Prioritize operating on chains with low gas fees (such as Arbitrum), completing interactions on 10+ chains in a single day for rapid points accumulation.
3. Time Window
The points exchange channel will close on June 30, so it is recommended to complete at least 5 chain synthesis operations before June 25 to ensure participation in the first round of airdrop snapshots.
III. Sophon
Project Positioning
SOPHON is an 'AI+DeSoc' integration platform where users can generate content using AI tools and receive incentives. It has 380,000 registered users and raised $22 million led by a16z. Its airdrop focuses on 'Guardian Member' qualifications, which need to be unlocked through wallet interactions.
Airdrop Threshold: Wallet address screening + Membership claims
1. Qualification Conditions (must meet all)
Wallet Creation Time: ETH/Polygon wallets created before May 1, 2025;
On-chain Activity: At least 10 transaction records in the last 3 months (including Swap/Transfer/NFT Minting);
Social Binding: Follow SOPHON's official Twitter and join Discord.
2. Steps to Operate
Visit guardian.sophon.xyz and connect a qualifying wallet;
Complete 'Wallet Address Verification → Social Account Authorization → Light KYC' (only need to submit phone number + facial recognition);
Successfully receive the 'Guardian Member NFT', which serves as the sole proof for subsequent airdrops. The top 100,000 users holding it will additionally receive the 'Early Supporter' tag, increasing airdrop weight.
3. Hidden Benefits
Participate in the AI Content Creation Challenge (publish 3 AI-generated articles on the platform) to unlock an additional creator badge. When the airdrop occurs on July 27, users with the badge will receive 30% more token allocation than regular members.
IV. Relay Protocol
Project Value
As a multi-chain interoperability solution, the Relay Protocol testnet has bridged over $400 million in assets, integrated with 35+ networks, and secured $16 million in investment from institutions like Pantera/Multicoin. Its airdrop is aimed at ecosystem contributors, who need to complete on-chain interactions through platforms like DappRadar.
Participation Process: Four steps to complete qualification verification
1. Prepare Interaction Records
Complete at least 3 cross-chain transfers on the testnet (such as Ethereum Goerli/Polygon Mumbai) using the Relay official bridging tool;
Join the official Discord, submit transfer screenshots + experience feedback in the '#testnet-feedback' channel to get manually marked as a 'Testnet Contributor' by an administrator.
2. DappRadar Claim Steps
Log in to the DappRadar airdrop page and search for Relay Protocol;
Connect the mainnet wallet (must match the testnet address), and the system will automatically verify the testnet interaction records;
Complete KYC (submit passport photo + photo with ID, review time 24 hours), click 'Claim Now' to pay 0.005 ETH gas fee and confirm the transaction.
3. High Weight Operations
Become a liquidity provider on the Relay Protocol mainnet (add RELAY/ETH LP on Uniswap V3), holding ≥$1,000 will unlock the 'Pro User' tag;
Invite more than 5 friends to complete testnet interactions, submit the invitation list to the official email ([email protected]), and receive the title 'Influencer', increasing airdrop share by 50%.
Risk Warning and Operation Suggestions
Risk Points:
Airdrop rules may be adjusted temporarily (such as qualification thresholds, distribution ratios).
Some project tokens may experience high volatility after listing, requiring caution regarding liquidity risks.
Testnet interactions may incur gas fee costs (e.g., operations on the Ethereum chain).
Participation Strategy:
Priority Ranking: SKATE (short-term trading opportunities) > SOPHON (AI narrative) > RELAY (cross-chain essential).
Fund Allocation: Free interaction projects (such as testnet tasks) can be widely participated in, while paid interactions (such as staking) need to assess ROI.
Information Tracking: Follow the project's official Discord/Twitter for timely updates on airdrop rules.
Scam Prevention Core: All project airdrops are announced through official channels (official website / Twitter / Discord), and do not click on third-party links or disclose private keys;
Priority Ranking: Skate has short-term explosive potential (ending at the end of June, high certainty for points to token exchange); medium to long-term layout suggests Nansen, Relay Protocol (clear long-term demand for cross-chain infrastructure).
