Sonic Points are user-focused airdrop points that can be earned as part of the ~200 million S airdrop. Designed to boost liquidity on Sonic and strengthen its ecosystem, our points program positions Sonic as a premier hub for DeFi enthusiasts and users seeking to maximize the potential of their assets.
To earn Sonic Points, hold and use whitelisted assets across various DeFi apps. These points will be distributed over multiple seasons as NFT positions, ensuring long-term sustainability and preventing sudden supply shifts. The first season began with Sonic's launch and will conclude in June 2025.
— How To Earn Points — Passive Points — Activity Points — App Points (Gems) — Whitelisted Assets — Airdrop Points Dashboard — Sonic Arcade Points — Terms and Conditions
Users can earn passive points by holding whitelisted assets directly in their Web3 wallets, such as Rabby or MetaMask, including hardware wallets. Assets held on centralized exchanges are not eligible.
Please note that WETH, scUSD, scETH, scBTC, LBTC, SolvBTC, and SolvBTC.BBN earn activity points only, not passive points.
By deploying whitelisted assets as liquidity on participating apps, users will earn activity points, which provide 2x the amount of points compared to simply holding assets passively. A list of participating apps is available on the points dashboard.
The S airdrop includes a developer-focused portion, where apps compete for an airdrop allocation known as Sonic Gems. Apps can redeem these Gems for S tokens, which they can then distribute to their users however they want.
To decide how these S tokens are distributed to their users, each app will run its own independent points program, entirely at its discretion. The app may consider various things, such as the amount of liquidity a user has deployed, the duration of deployment, and the specific pools to which a user has added liquidity.
As a user, you will be earning passive and activity points regardless. Your goal is to identify which app has the points program that will offer the highest return for your liquidity. The challenge lies in maximizing your overall rewards by combining the yield earned from providing liquidity with the points earned from the app's points program.
To qualify for the S airdrop, you must hold or use the whitelisted assets listed in the table below. The multipliers are applied to the passive or activity points you earn.

Some whitelisted assets are boosted in the first 3 months after Sonic’s launch to encourage their usage and attract more liquidity to Sonic. After this period, we may choose to extend or reduce boosts.
Whitelisted assets and their multipliers are subject to change. S tokens staked through MySonic are not eligible for points. Users who wish to stake can instead use stS by Beets, a liquid staking token.

Arcade players will receive their points at the end of the S airdrop's first season.
