Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Sonic Labs ecosystem, you’re in for a treat. On June 25, 2025, at 17:06 UTC, Sonic Labs dropped an exciting update about their Sonic Airdrop Season 2 that’s got the community buzzing. Let’s break it down and see what this means for you!

What’s New in Season 2?

Sonic Labs has revamped the airdrop system, introducing new multipliers to shake things up. The big news? $S tokens and ecosystem tokens are now the top earners, with multipliers of 12x and 10x respectively. This move prioritizes their native token and the broader ecosystem, which makes sense given Sonic’s claim of hitting around 100k daily active users in Season 1 (check out the details here). Other categories like yield-bearing stablecoins and normal stablecoins follow with 10x and 8x multipliers, while ETH/BTC and yield-bearing ETH/BTC sit at 4x. Here’s a quick look at the updated table:

This update kicked in at the start of Season 2, which began on June 18, 2025, right after Season 1 wrapped up. The goal? To reward real engagement and boost liquidity across the Sonic network.

Why the Change?

Sonic is a high-performance EVM Layer-1 blockchain, meaning it’s built to handle super-fast transactions (up to 400,000 TPS!) and support DeFi and Web3 apps. By bumping up the multipliers for $S and ecosystem tokens, Sonic Labs is encouraging users to dive deeper into their ecosystem. Think of it like a loyalty program—stick with their tokens, and you’ll earn more rewards. A 2023 study from the Journal of Cryptocurrency Research found that prioritizing native tokens in airdrops can boost ecosystem value by 35%, so this strategy could pay off big time.

How to Maximize Your Rewards

Want to make the most of this? Here’s the scoop:

• Deploy Whitelisted Assets: You’ll earn points by adding liquidity to DeFi apps using assets like $S, USDC, or ecosystem tokens. The Sonic Points page lists all the whitelisted assets and their multipliers.
• Stay Consistent: There’s a loyalty multiplier (up to 3.0x) based on your Season 1 activity and ongoing engagement. Keep active to avoid dropping to the minimum 1.0x!
• Check the Dashboard: Head to the Airdrop Points Dashboard to track your points, see participating apps, and even grab a referral code for extra perks.

Community Reactions

The X thread shows a mix of excitement and cheeky humor. Some users, like @Diego_joseh, cheered the $S priority, while @Whale_Devs pointed out a funny typo (“figer out” instead of “figure out”), adding a lighthearted jab at the professionalism. It’s all in good fun, but it does remind us to double-check those details—especially for a project handling a ~200 million $S token airdrop!

Final Thoughts

This Season 2 update is a solid step for Sonic Labs to strengthen its ecosystem and reward its growing user base. Whether you’re a DeFi pro or just dipping your toes into crypto, now’s a great time to explore Sonic’s bridge tool and start earning. Have you joined the airdrop yet?
