High-performance Layer 1 blockchain Sonic is mixing things up: starting June 27, you won’t need to be a DeFi wizard to earn your share of the $S token airdrop. Sonic has teamed up with Kaito AI—the slick web3 dashboard you’ve probably heard about—to launch a brand-new “Yapper Leaderboard,” where your social smarts pay off in crypto.
Instead of just tracking swaps and lending volume, Sonic’s leaderboard watches for thoughtful posts, in-depth threads, and any content that helps people understand what makes this network tick. Whether you’re explaining Fee Monetization (where developers keep 90% of the fees their apps generate) or showcasing the network’s sub-second finality and 400,000 TPS, every high-quality insight earns you Yap points—and those points translate into $S tokens when the airdrop drops.
Yu Hu, founder and CEO of Kaito, said: “We’re excited to have Sonic integrating with Kaito to create their own Yapper Leaderboard. It’s a clear signal of the value they place on community and recognition of the people driving their vision forward. They join other well-established web3 projects in rewarding their top social contributors in a way that wasn’t previously possible.”
Michael Kong, CEO of Sonic Labs, said: “With Kaito Yaps, we’re giving real weight to the people pushing Sonic forward on social media through insights, research, and quality content that drives awareness. If you’re shaping the narrative, it’s only fair that you should share in the upside.”
Sonic’s $S Airdrop Goes Social
Getting started is easy: just post your Sonic insights on X (formerly Twitter), tag them for Kaito to pick up, and watch your name climb the leaderboard. Behind the scenes, Kaito’s social-graph algorithm makes sure your mindshare contributions get counted accurately. The more you educate and inform, the more Yap points you earn—and the larger your slice of the airdrop.
This move isn’t just about handing out free tokens. Sonic wants fresh voices spreading the word about its fee-sharing model, epic transaction speeds, and growing DeFi playground. By turning community content into rewards, they’re hoping to onboard newcomers faster—and keep the conversation buzzing long after the airdrop wraps up.
So if you’ve been meaning to dive into Sonic—or if you’ve already been singing its praises—now’s the perfect time. Sharpen those insights, start sharing, and get ready to Yap your way to some serious $S.
