What is Soneium?
Soneium is an Ethereum Layer-2 protocol powered by Optimism's Superchain technology developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs. Sony, that was my TV brand 30 years ago. And now we delve into the blockchain with them. Wow! If I am correct, and the future will prove me, I estimate that I will get included in at least 4 to 7 airdrops, as most of the new projects got some airdrop points of some sort, but many of them finish their OG phase by the end of February. so, another two weeks or so.
Soneium Conquest is here—a journey to explore the heart of the Soneium ecosystem. It’s your chance to dive into web3 innovation, connect with others, and shape the future of blockchain. Let’s make it happen!
This is my step-by-step strategy, and yes, I will throw some referrals along, with the other links. How did I do it?
- To start with, I started using Across to bridge some funds (ETH) from Optimist to Soneium (happened that I had some extra ETH on Optimism, which was worth close to $250, but probably you can do it with $100-$150, for a minimum minimorum - the bigger the better, of course, I only used what I have extra). The idea is to make at least 45 transactions before the end of February to have a chance of getting Soneium OG NFT, which most probably will count towards the airdrop.
- The first app to use is Sake Finance, as this will help you to optimally use other apps later. What I did was to provide liquidity, $100 of ETH and $50 of ASTR. Then I borrowed the following: $10 of SONE - Soneium stablecoin, $20 of USDCe and $25 of ASTR. You will get airdrop points called Sake Points on both liquidity providing and borrowing.
- Now you need to go to Kyo Finance, where you gonna provide liquidity for the SONE/USDCe pair, using $10 of each that you previously borrowed from Sake. You can also exchange some ETH into $10 nASTR and provide $20 liquidity for the pair ASTR/nASTR. You will earn KYO airdrop points and rewards, and you can choose if all your rewards are paid in ETH or all the tokens received. I choose ETH for the sake of it.
- Next on the list Sonefi, which has some interesting potential, as you can create your own Memecoin and provide liquidity or perpetual, depending on your risk approach. I provided the 10 USDCe for the perpetual pools and some 50ASTR/WETH for the farm. You get rewards and airdrop points for it.
- Untitled Bank is next, where my strategy was to provide 100 ASTR as liquidity and borrow half of its value as USDCe. You get airdrop points for lending, borrowing and bridging using the website.
- Sonex is another one, where you can provide liquidity and do different tasks, accumulating airdrop points. I provided $100 of liquidity here, on the following pairs: WETH/USDCe, WETH/ASTR and ASTR/nASTR. Check the tasks to get the maximum number of airdrop points possible.
- We have Neemo app next, where you need to select Soneium as your blockchain, and you can stake ETH and ASTR, for rewards and airdrop points. They have a loyalty program that is updated weekly too, for better results.
As a little extra, there are three more websites offering quests on Soneium, with various rewards (crypto, NFTs, experience). These three websites with quests are: Galxe, Intract and Layer3. I used them to do quests and reach the target of 45+ transactions, to receive the OG NFT on Soneium, which will probably increase the airdrop amount.
And with this, all done, wish you good luck, as the total estimate is between $400 and $6000.
May the force be with you!
