Solana-based on-chain trading platform Drift has unveiled plans for its Season 2 airdrop, scheduled for May 2025. The announcement, made via X, highlights the continuation of the platform’s growth trajectory following a series of key milestones in 2024.
The upcoming airdrop will feature Drift’s FUEL program, which was introduced in July 2024 as a reward system designed to drive platform growth and align user incentives. This marks the second airdrop for DRIFT tokens, building on the launch of the platform’s native token in May 2024.
The Drift team emphasized that the FUEL program would benefit all users across its decentralized exchange (DEX) platform. The overarching goal for 2025 is to evolve Drift into a “Super Protocol,” expanding its reach into various areas such as borrowing and lending, derivatives, prediction markets, automated market making, and wealth management.
Drift has also seen significant developments in 2024, particularly with its integration of real-world assets, such as its collaboration with Ondo. The platform further diversified by adding the USDe, PayPal USD, and Sky’s USDS stablecoins. Additionally, Drift introduced liquid staking and expanded its offering through Drift Earn, where structured products aimed at trading and yield strategies have drawn millions of dollars in total value locked (TVL) to the protocol.
The airdrop trend remains strong in the crypto world, with 2024 witnessing substantial distributions from top projects. Notable airdrops during the year included those from Hyperliquid, Starknet, and Pudgy Penguins. Other platforms, like the Solana-based Notcoin and DEX protocol Jupiter, also delivered significant rewards to their communities.
Looking ahead to 2025, Solana enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating further airdrops, with projects like Jupiter (Round 2), Solayer, Sanctum Season 2, Sonic SVM, and DeBridge S2 all on the radar. Airdrops from Berachain, Karak Network, Linea, Babylon, and Hyperliquid Season 2 are also generating excitement within the community.
For Drift, the Season 2 airdrop is just one piece of its broader vision to continue expanding and enhancing the platform’s ecosystem in the coming year.
