Unpacking Solana Tier 2 Airdrops: Your 2025 Playbook
If you're into crypto, you’ve probably heard of airdrops—free token distributions that reward early adopters. On April 21, 2025, Jussy (@jussy_world) dropped a detailed thread on X about Tier 2 airdrop opportunities in the Solana ecosystem. Solana, known for its fast and scalable blockchain, is a hub for DeFi and NFT projects, making it a hotspot for airdrop hunters. This guide breaks down Jussy’s thread, explaining how you can get involved and maximize your rewards.
What Are Tier 2 Airdrops?
Airdrops often come in phases or "tiers." Tier 1 might target early users, while Tier 2, as highlighted by Jussy, focuses on broader participation. These airdrops reward users for engaging with projects, often requiring tasks like staking, holding a device, or completing social activities. Jussy’s post categorizes them into three types: "Airdrop + Device," "Free Airdrop," and "Airdrop + Yield." Let’s dive into each.
Airdrop + Device: Solana Seeker and PlaySolana
Solana Seeker: A VIP Pass to Rewards
The Solana Seeker, a second-generation web3 smartphone by Solana Mobile, is central to some of these airdrops. Priced at $500 for pre-order, it ships in summer 2025. According to Jussy, each Seeker comes with a Seeker Genesis Token—a soul-bound NFT that acts as a VIP pass for rewards in the Solana ecosystem. As ChainCatcher reported, this token unlocks access to exclusive content and rewards, and pre-orderers also get Chapter 2 tokens.
Seeker users can track all airdrop rewards in one place, a feature Emmett Hollyer from Solana Mobile says mirrors the success of the first-gen Saga phone. Saga users saw airdrop values exceed the device’s cost, which explains why Seeker pre-sales hit over 140,000 units. Teams are already planning distribution rewards for Seeker holders, so if you’re in, pre-order now to get early access.
PlaySolana: Farm $PLAY Tokens with XP
PlaySolana offers a chance to earn $PLAY tokens through its PlayDEX platform. You don’t need a device like the PSG1 to participate—completing quests on PlayDEX, such as social media tasks, earns you XP (experience points). However, owning a device or an NFT boosts your airdrop allocation. Jussy mentions that staking a Player 1 NFT or SOL with PlaySolana’s validator can net you more XP—up to 2,000 XP per NFT if you log in with a Seeker wallet. The more XP, the bigger your $PLAY token share when they launch, as noted in airdrops.io’s coverage.
Free Airdrops: The Bless Network and SandwatchAI
The Bless Network: Earn Rewards with Uptime
The Bless Network is an AI project that’s raised over $8M. It’s similar to GRASS, rewarding users for running a node. Here’s how to get started:
- Visit their site.
- Log in with your email.
- Download their Chrome extension.
- Open the extension to confirm your node is running.
Your rewards depend on uptime—the longer your node runs, the more you earn. There are no points; time is your currency. Completing social tasks can increase your uptime, boosting rewards.
SandwatchAI: Popcorn Points for $WATCH Tokens
SandwatchAI has confirmed an airdrop for their $WATCH token, based on a points system called Popcorn. Jussy explains that it farms automatically once you set it up, but you can increase your multiplier by doing social tasks like linking Discord, Telegram, or following their X account. Here’s the process:
- Go to SandwatchAI’s site and select a seat.
- Use the code “2BB78F” to create a profile.
- Set your username to start earning Popcorn points.
Jussy’s screenshot shows a user earning 690,114 Popcorn points, plus 153.20 points per second, for a seat valued at 7,403. Boosting your multiplier through tasks can significantly increase your earnings.
Airdrop + Yield: Perena and RateX with Switchboard
Perena: Farm Petals Before Season 1
Perena lets you earn “Petals” points in its pre-season phase. You can farm Petals by:
- Visiting their platform.
- Doing swaps (first 5 daily swaps count).
- Depositing into pools (rewards multiply after 15 days).
- Referring others.
Check the rewards tab to track your points, leaderboard position, and volume. This setup incentivizes early participation before their Season 1 launch.
RateX with Switchboard: Liquidity for Points and Yield
RateX and Switchboard have a campaign where you can earn points by providing liquidity (LP). Jussy suggests:
- Visit RateX’s points tab.
- Choose the fragJTO strategy.
- Opt for LP to balance yield and points.
By depositing SOL, you can earn a 27% yield, plus 4x Fragmetic F Points and 4x RateX points. This dual reward system makes it a solid option for those looking to combine airdrop farming with passive income.
Why Solana Airdrops Matter in 2025
Solana’s ecosystem is booming, with projects leveraging its scalability for DeFi, NFTs, and now hardware like the Seeker. Airdrops are a way for these projects to incentivize early adoption and build communities. As airdrops.io notes, engaging in tokenless projects—through testnets, community discussions, or staking—can lead to significant rewards. Tools like Helius’ Airship, which cuts airdrop costs by 4,000 times, make it easier for projects to distribute tokens, benefiting users like you.
How to Get Started
Jussy’s thread ends with a concise TL;DR:
- Pre-order the Solana Seeker for early access to rewards.
- Farm $PLAY tokens via PlaySolana quests, NFTs, or staking.
- Run a Bless Network node—uptime equals rewards.
- Collect $WATCH points on SandwatchAI with social tasks.
- Pre-farm Petals on Perena through swaps and pools.
- LP SOL on RateX to stack Switchboard points and yield.
Final Thoughts
Solana Tier 2 airdrops in 2025 offer a mix of free and investment-based opportunities to earn tokens. Whether you’re running a node, farming points, or pre-ordering a Seeker, there’s something for everyone. Always do your own research—crypto can be risky, and rewards aren’t guaranteed. Stay updated via the projects’ official channels, and happy airdrop hunting!
