What recent project airdrops are worth following in the Nansen points program?

Jessy, Golden Finance

The Nansen Points Season 1 has officially launched on June 17. As a well-established platform in the field of on-chain data analysis, its points system and strong correlation with future airdrops have attracted market attention. In addition, projects such as the Layer 1 public chain SKATE, the AI-driven social platform SOPHON, and the cross-chain infrastructure RELAY PROTOCOL have also recently released airdrop news. Below are the detailed analyses and participation guides for each project:

1. Nansen

Project Background

Nansen was established in 2020, having raised a total of $88.2 million, with a valuation of $750 million. Its core function is to analyze on-chain fund flows by tagging wallet addresses such as exchanges, VCs, high net worth individuals, etc., serving institutional investors and professional traders. The platform has over 120,000 staked users, and its ecosystem activity is significant.

Airdrop Strategy: Points Program Season 1

Core logic: Accumulate points through "staking + subscription + invitation", where the amount of points directly affects future airdrop weights.

1. Method of acquiring points

• Subscription Levels: Free version: Only basic features, very low probability of earning points; Pioneer version (monthly fee $99): Suitable for individual users, moderate point earning efficiency; Professional version (monthly fee $499): Enterprise-level analytical tools, fastest point earning speed.
• Staking Token:

Supported currencies: popular new coins such as Hype, Tia, Ron, as well as mainstream assets like Sol, Atom, Strk;

Operational advantages: Staking does not require KYC, the larger the amount, the faster the accumulation of points, and the total staking amount on the platform has surpassed 1 billion dollars.

• Social Explosion:

Share the exclusive invitation link to Twitter/Telegram. For each successful invitation of 1 new user (who must complete email registration + basic interaction), the inviter will earn 100 points.

Submit proof of social influence (such as a social media account with ≥500 followers) to unlock the "Super Invite" permission, increasing the invitation reward for a single user to 200 points.

2. Airdrop Outlook

Although the project team has not clearly defined the token airdrop rules, it is speculated that the subsequent airdrop will distribute tokens based on a points ranking system, referencing the quantitative qualification model designed by Arbitrum in collaboration with Nansen. The focus will be on rewarding stakers and highly active invitees. It is recommended to prioritize a combination of Professional subscription and large staking to quickly accumulate points.

2. Skate

Project Highlights

As a modular Layer 1 public chain, Skate has attracted over 180 dApps, processing 18 million transactions in its first month, and has secured $37 million in funding from institutions such as Polychain and Sequoia China. Its ecological airdrop revolves around Ollies points, achieved through NFT minting and multi-chain interaction.

Airdrop Guide: Multi-chain NFT Minting + Points Redemption

1. Basic operations on the TON chain (limited to 500 points / each)

• Open the Telegram bot "Skateboard Workshop Bot" and click "Mint Now" to mint random skateboard parts (trucks / wheels / decks) NFTs;
• After collecting 3 types of components, synthesize a complete skateboard NFT in the "Inventory" tab. Each synthesized NFT can earn 500 Ollies points (limited time reward before June 30, after which it will return to 1000 points);
• EVM Wallet Additional Condition: You must first complete the "Build a Skateboard" task on Galxe (bind wallet + retweet), otherwise you will not be able to earn points on chains like ETH/BSC.

2. Cross-chain full ecosystem operation (500 points / chain)

• Enter the Stake Chain Park official website, connect the Galxe certified wallet, and select 23 supported chains (such as Aptos/Sui/Polygon, etc.);
• Repeat the "Mint Component → Synthesize NFT" process on each chain, synthesizing 1 skateboard NFT on a single chain earns 500 points, and there is no limit on the accumulation across multiple chains;
• Yield Maximization Tips: Prioritize operating on chains with low Gas fees (such as Arbitrum), where you can complete over 10 chain interactions in a single day to quickly accumulate points.

3. Time Window

The points redemption channel will close on June 30. It is recommended to complete at least 5 chain synthesis operations before June 25 to ensure participation in the first round of airdrop snapshots.

3. 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 in funding led by a16z. Its airdrop focuses on the qualification of "Guardian Members," which requires unlocking through wallet interaction.

Airdrop Threshold: Wallet Address Screening + Member Claiming

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 (including Swap / transfer / NFT minting) in the last 3 months;
• 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 → KYC Light Certification" (only need to submit phone number + facial blur recognition);
• Successfully claimed the "Guardian Member NFT". This NFT serves as the sole proof for subsequent airdrops. The top 100,000 users by holding amount will receive an additional "Early Supporter" label, increasing their airdrop weight.

3. Hidden Benefits

Participate in the AI content creation challenge (publish 3 AI-generated articles on the platform) to unlock the creator badge. It is expected that during the airdrop on July 27, the token allocation for users with the badge will be 30% higher than that of regular members.

4. Relay Protocol

project value

As a multi-chain interoperability solution, the Relay Protocol test net bridges assets exceeding $400 million, integrating over 35 networks, and has received $16 million in investments from institutions like Pantera and Multicoin. Its airdrop is aimed at ecosystem contributors, requiring on-chain interactions to be completed through platforms like DappRadar.

Participation Process: Complete Qualification Certification in Four Steps

1. Interaction Record Preparation

• Complete at least 3 cross-chain transfers on the testnet (such as Ethereum Goerli/Polygon Mumbai) using the official Relay bridging tool;
• Join the official Discord and submit transfer screenshots + experience feedback in the "#testnet-feedback" channel to get manually marked as a "Testnet Contributor" by the admin.

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), the system automatically verifies the testnet interaction records;
• Complete KYC (submit passport photo + photo with ID, review time is 24 hours), click "Claim Now" to pay 0.005 ETH gas fee and confirm the transaction.

3. High Weight Operations

• Become a liquidity provider for the Relay Protocol mainnet (add RELAY/ETH LP on Uniswap V3), holding amount ≥ 1000 to unlock the "Pro User" tag;
• Invite 5 or more friends to complete the testnet interaction, submit the invitation list to the official email (airdrop @relay.link), and you can obtain the title of "Influencer" with a 50% increase in airdrop share.

Risk Warning and Operational Suggestions

Anti-fraud core: All project airdrops are announced through official channels (official website / Twitter / Discord). Do not click on third-party links or disclose your private key.

Priority ranking: Skate has short-term explosive potential (deadline at the end of June, high certainty for token redemption); for medium to long-term layouts, it is recommended to focus on Nansen and Relay Protocol (long-term demand in the cross-chain infrastructure track is clear).
