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

Jessy, Jinse 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 announcements. Below is a detailed analysis of each project and participation guidelines:

1. Nansen

Project Background

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

Airdrop Strategy: Points Program Season 1

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

1. Ways to Earn Points

• Subscription Levels: Free Version: Basic features only, very low probability of earning points; Pioneer Version (Monthly fee $99): Suitable for individual users, medium efficiency in earning points; Professional Version (Monthly fee $499): Enterprise-level analytics tools, fastest point earning speed.
• Staking Tokens:

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 points accumulation, the total staking volume on the platform has exceeded 1 billion dollars.

• Social Bifurcation:

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

Submit proof of social influence (such as social media accounts with followers ≥ 500) to unlock the "Super Invitation" privilege, increasing the single user invitation reward to 200 points.

2. Airdrop Outlook

Although the project team has not specified the token airdrop rules, based on the quantitative qualification model designed by Arbitrum in collaboration with Nansen, it is speculated that the subsequent airdrop will distribute tokens according to the ranking of points, with a focus on rewarding stakers and highly active invitees. It is recommended to prioritize a combination of Professional subscription + 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 the first month, and securing $37 million in funding from institutions such as Polychain and Sequoia China. Its ecological airdrop revolves around Ollies points, realized through NFT minting and multi-chain interaction.

Airdrop Strategy: Multi-Chain NFT Minting + Points Redemption

1. Basic Operations of the TON Chain (Limited Time 500 Points / Each)

• Open the Telegram bot "Skateboard Workshop Bot" and click "Mint Now" to mint random skateboard parts (trucks / wheels / deck) NFTs;
• After collecting 3 types of components, combine them in the "Inventory" tab to create a complete skateboard NFT. Each combined NFT earns 500 Ollies points (limited-time reward until 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)

• Visit 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 Components → Synthesize NFT" process on each chain, synthesizing 1 skateboard NFT on a single chain earns 500 points, and there is no limit to the accumulation across multiple chains;
• Tips for Maximizing Earnings: Prioritize operating on chains with low Gas fees (such as Arbitrum), where you can complete more than 10 chain interactions in a single day, quickly accumulating points.

3. Time Window

The points redemption channel will close on June 30th. It is recommended to complete the synthesis operation of at least 5 chains before June 25th to ensure you make it in time for the first round airdrop snapshot.

3. Sophon

Project Positioning

SOPHON is an "AI+DeSoc" integration platform where users can generate content using AI tools and receive incentives. There are 380,000 registered users, and it has raised $22 million in funding led by a16z. Its airdrop focuses on the "Guardian Member" qualification, which needs to be unlocked through wallet interactions.

Airdrop Threshold: Wallet Address Screening + Member Claiming

1. Eligibility Requirements (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 past 3 months;
• Social Binding: Follow SOPHON's official Twitter and join Discord.

2. Steps to operate

• Visit guardian.sophon.xyz and connect a compliant wallet;
• Complete "Wallet Address Verification → Social Account Authorization → KYC Light Certification" (only need to submit phone number + facial blurring recognition);
• Successfully received the "Guardian Member NFT". This NFT is the sole proof for subsequent airdrops. The top 100,000 holders will receive an additional "Early Supporter" tag, which enhances airdrop weighting.

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, users with the badge will receive 30% more token allocation than regular members.

4. Relay Protocol

Project Value

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

Engagement process: Four steps to qualify

1. Interaction Record Preparation

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

2. DappRadar Claim Steps

• Log in to the DappRadar airdrop page and search for Relay Protocol;
• Connect the mainnet wallet (must be consistent with the testnet address), the system will automatically verify the testnet interaction records;
• Complete KYC (submit a passport photo + a photo holding your ID, review time 24 hours), click "Claim Now" to pay 0.005 ETH gas fee and confirm the transaction.

3. High Weight Operations

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

Risk Warning and Operation 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 keys.

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