Which airdrop projects related to the Nansen points program are worth following recently?

Jessy, Golden Finance

The Nansen Points Season 1 program 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. Additionally, 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 a participation guide:

1. Nansen

Project Background

Nansen was established in 2020, with a total financing of 88.2 million USD and a valuation of 750 million USD. 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, and the ecosystem’s activity level is significant.

Airdrop Strategy: Points Program Season One

Core logic: Accumulate points through “staking + subscription + invitation”, with the amount of points directly affecting 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, moderate efficiency in earning points; Professional Version (monthly fee $499): Enterprise-level analytical tools, fastest speed in earning points.
• Staked Token:

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 accumulation of points, and the platform’s total staking volume has exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

• Social Split:

Share the exclusive invitation link to Twitter/Telegram. For each successful invitation of a new user (who must complete email registration + basic interaction), the inviter will receive 100 points.

Submit proof of social influence (such as social media accounts with ≥500 followers) to unlock the “Super Invite” permission, increasing the invitation reward for a single user to 200 points.

2. Airdrop Outlook

Although the project team has not clearly defined the token airdrop rules, referring to the quantitative qualification model designed by Arbitrum in conjunction with Nansen, it is speculated that subsequent airdrops will allocate tokens based on points ranking, with a focus on rewarding staking users and highly active invitees. It is recommended to prioritize the combination of Professional subscription + large amount of 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 its 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 interactions.

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 / decks) NFTs;
• After collecting 3 types of components, you can synthesize a complete skateboard NFT in the “Inventory” tab. Each synthesized NFT can earn 500 Ollies points (limited-time reward until June 30, after which it will return to 1000 points);
• Additional conditions for EVM wallet: 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 your Galxe certified wallet, and select from 23 supported chains (such as Aptos/Sui/Polygon, etc.);
• Repeat the “Minting Components → Synthesizing NFT” process on each chain. Synthesizing 1 Skateboard NFT on a single chain earns 500 points, and there is no limit on multi-chain accumulation.
• Profit maximization tips: Prioritize operating on chains with low Gas fees (such as Arbitrum), where you can complete 10+ chain interactions in a single day to quickly accumulate 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 participation in the first round of airdrop snapshots.

3. Sophon

Project Positioning

SOPHON is an “AI+DeSoc” fusion platform where users can generate content through AI tools and receive incentives. It has 380,000 registered users and raised $22 million in funding led by a16z. Its airdrop focuses on the qualification of “Guardian Members,” which needs to be unlocked through wallet interaction.

Airdrop threshold: Wallet address screening + Member claim

1. Eligibility Criteria (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 last 3 months;
• Social Binding: Follow SOPHON’s official Twitter and join Discord.

2. Operation Steps

• Visit guardian.sophon.xyz and connect a compatible wallet;
• Complete “Wallet Address Verification → Social Account Authorization → KYC Light Verification” (only need to submit phone number + facial blur recognition);
• Successfully received the “Guardian Member NFT”. This NFT serves as the sole proof for future airdrops. The top 100,000 users by holding amount will additionally receive the “Early Supporter” label, increasing airdrop weight.

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 on the airdrop date of 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, Relay Protocol’s testnet bridges assets over $400 million, integrates 35+ networks, and has received $16 million in investment from institutions such as Pantera and Multicoin. Its airdrop is aimed at ecosystem contributors and requires on-chain interactions to be completed through platforms like DappRadar.

Participation Process: Complete Qualification Certification in Four Steps

1. Interaction Record Preparation

• Complete at least 3 cross-chain transfers on testnets (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 manually marked by the administrator.

2. DappRadar Claim Steps

• Log in to the DappRadar airdrop page and search for Relay Protocol;
• Connect the mainnet wallet (must match the testnet address), the system will automatically verify the testnet interaction records;
• Complete KYC (submit passport photo + photo with identification document, review time is 24 hours), click “Claim Now” to pay 0.005 ETH gas fee, and confirm the transaction.

3. High-weight operation

• Become a liquidity provider on the Relay Protocol mainnet (add RELAY/ETH LP on Uniswap V3), holding amount ≥ 1000 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 will receive the title of “Influencer”, with a 50% increase in airdrop allocation.

Risk Warning and Operational Recommendations

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.

Prioritization: Skate has short-term explosiveness (until the end of June, with high certainty of exchanging points for tokens); The medium and long-term layout is recommended for Nansen and Relay Protocol (the long-term demand for the cross-chain infrastructure track is clear).
