Fantom Airdrop

Updated October 4, 2024

About Fantom

Fantom is a high-performance, scalable, and secure Layer 1 blockchain created in 2018, based on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Fantom will soon launch the Sonic Network – a new layer 1 blockchain, with a migration process from FTM tokens at a 1:1 ratio for a new S token. The Sonic Network promises enhanced scalability, transaction speeds, and reduced costs with the security and liquidity of Ethereum.

Why we choose Fantom (Sonic)?

Fantom was once a leading figure in the DeFi space, reaching a milestone of nearly $8B TVL. They have secured $40M in previous funding rounds, with an additional $10M investment for the ecosystem development of the future Sonic Network.

Recently, Fantom introduced their Sonic Airdrop Program, with a 190M $S prize pool valued nearly $100M at the time of writing (24 August 2024). 

Since the Sonic Network will launch soon in Q4 2024, and their campaign is currently relatively under-farmed (only < 2,000 participants on Galxe tasks), now is a great time to begin positioning ourselves for the future Sonic airdrop.

How to earn Fantom (Sonic) Airdrop: Interact with Fantom/Sonic ecosystem + Complete The Road to Sonic campaign on Galxe.

Recommended strategy: As a starting point, stake FTM on BeethovenX for $sFTMx and lend them on Polter as collateral. You can then borrow other assets to interact with more protocols in the Fantom ecosystem. Note: Watch out for liquidation risks and only use money that you can afford to lose.

Also complete The Road to Sonic and Sonic Arcade campaign to maximize your points for the upcoming $S airdrop.

To maximize your chances for the Fantom (Sonic) airdrop, follow the guide below.

Fantom has recently launched The Road to Sonic. The campaign consists of 6 Series, each awarding you with a Sonic Shard upon completion. Collecting all 6 Shards to forge a special Sonic NFT and receive additional Airdrop Points.

In The Road to Sonic – Series 1, you will interact with Wormhole, BeethovenX, and Estfor Kingdom. You will need at least 50 USDC, ~$3 in ETH, and some FTM for fees.

#1: Wormhole Bridge:

This task requires 50 USDC and ~3$ in ETH on the Ethereum Mainnet for gas. 

If you don’t already have enough funds on ETH Mainnet:

1. Withdrawing from a CEX for Mainnet is costly, so we should bridge from Arbitrum instead. First withdraw 54$ in ETH on Arbitrum to your wallet.

2. Visit Jumper Exchange and connect your wallet. Bridge from ETH on Arbitrum to at least 50 USDC on Ethereum – this amount is needed to verify the task.

fantom airdrop guide 13. Switch to Jumper Gas Refuel and bridge the rest of your ETH on Arbitrum to Ethereum.fantom airdrop guide 2By executing the 2 transactions, you will receive 50 USDC and ~3$ worth of ETH on the Ethereum Mainnet, with the total cost of 0.7$.

 

Once you have enough funds (50 USDC and ~3$ in ETH on Ethereum Mainnet):

First, visit Portal Bridge and connect your wallet. Bridge at least 50 USDC on Ethereum to USDC.e on Fantom Opera. Choose to receive tokens automatically and click on the bridge button.
