Airdrop Claims 🪂:
Solstice Finance ($SLX) — Season 2 Claim & Vesting Choice
Solana yield layer offering USX (stablecoin) and eUSX (yield-bearing version from delta-neutral strategies), backed by Deus X Capital and Galaxy Digital. Season 2 Flares points have concluded — claims and vesting registration are live now.
You choose between two vesting paths: 6-month (faster unlock, but requires maintaining your Season 2 TVL baseline) or 9-month (no TVL requirement, longer unlock, applied automatically if you don’t choose). Selection window closes around August 18 — miss it and you default to the 9-month plan. Small claim fee (~$1); very small allocations may not be claimable.
Season 3 is already live for anyone who wants to keep earning — same core mechanics through December 1, 2026.
Official link: claim.solstice.finance/flow?season=s2.
⚠️ 6-month vesting can be forfeited if TVL drops below the required baseline — understand the commitment before choosing. Delta-neutral YieldVault strategies carry execution risk despite the “institutional-grade” framing. $SLX price volatility and unlock-related sell pressure apply. Geo-restrictions may exist. Only use official claim.solstice.finance and app.solstice.finance.
Airdrop News/Updates
Saturn Credit ($USDat) — Season 1 Wrapped, Season 2 Live
Digital credit protocol issuing USDat and yield-bearing sUSDat, backed by exposure to Strategy’s STRC. Season 1 Gravity Points concluded (snapshot ~August 8) — final allocations publish this week on the app. 1M+ Gravity holders get a 20% Orbital boost once confirmed.
Season 2 Orbital Points is live, running ~4 months or until $1B TVL. Highest multipliers on Curve LP, Pendle LP/YT, and PancakeSwap active-range LPs — double points currently live on Monad Pendle markets. Check standing at app.saturn.credit.
Official link: app.saturn.credit
⚠️ No token launched — the foundation has only indicated it “may” allocate up to 5% of a future governance token to Gravity participants, contingent on a successful launch that isn’t guaranteed. Yield depends on $STRC/MicroStrategy dividend health. Not available to US or EU/EEA users. Unstaking queues can constrain exit liquidity. Points carry no guaranteed monetary value.
Arc — Circle’s L1, Mainnet September 16
Circle’s institutional L1 uses USDC as native gas with sub-second finality — backed by an exceptional validator lineup (BlackRock, Visa, DTCC, Mastercard) and a $222M presale at $3B FDV led by a16z. Public testnet is live with 100+ builders on private mainnet. Public Mainnet launches September 16.
No open retail points program — this is a heavily institutional-tilted launch. What you can actually do is participate in the testnet for potential future consideration, and claim any available Arc Pass (Founder/Builder Passes, automatically airdropped, claimable until mainnet) before September 16.
Official blog link: https://www.arc.io/pressroom/circle-announces-founding-validator-cohort-and-major-integrations-for-arc-ahead-of-september-16-mainnet-launch
⚠️ Farming surface for retail users is thin given the institutional focus — treat any potential community allocation as speculative and low-probability. Token already had a large private presale (740M tokens at $0.30) — public tokenomics and community distribution details not fully released. Mainnet is still ~5 weeks out with execution risk remaining.
⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:
New protocols often carry the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.
Smart-contract exploits, depegs, insolvent yield strategies, and outright project failure happen disproportionately in a protocol’s first 3–6 months (we’ve seen it play out with Dango and others in this very letter). Nothing here has a multi-year track record.
Treat every entry below as capital at risk, not “free points”. Size positions like you could lose them entirely, and never deposit more than you’re fully prepared to write off.
New Opportunities:
Nado — Weekly Cash Rewards + Points on Ink L2
CLOB DEX on Ink (Kraken’s L2) unifying spot, perps, and money markets under one margin account for high capital efficiency, built by a team with Kraken and Vertex Protocol roots.
Two reward streams live simultaneously: a weekly $100K USDT0 cash pool ($50K unlocked from week start, another $50K scaling with platform volume) split proportionally by maker/taker volume and open interest, plus an ongoing Season 2 points program (open access, no invite needed) earned via trading, NLP vault deposits, referrals, and xStocks collateral multipliers.
No native $NADO token confirmed — points are oriented toward the broader Ink ecosystem airdrop. Onboard at app.nado.xyz, bridge to Ink, and focus on maker volume plus maintaining open interest to capture both the cash pool and points efficiently.
Official link: app.nado.xyz
⚠️ ⚠️ Perp trading carries real leverage and liquidation risk. Points-to-token conversion mechanics and size aren’t fully public — this is positioning for a broader Ink ecosystem airdrop, not a confirmed Nado token. Cash pool’s second $50K only unlocks with high platform volume, so individual share can dilute if volume spikes without your participation scaling proportionally. Ink L2 smart-contract risk applies.
Arcus — Confirmed Token, No Details Yet
Self-custodial DEX built by the dYdX Labs team in partnership with Robinhood Crypto, running on Robinhood Chain. Live spot trading of tokenized equities (TSLA, NVDA, etc.) at 0% fees, plus perps up to 50x currently in beta with waitlist rollout. ~$18-20M TVL with real organic volume ($94.5M perps + $40.8M spot in one recent week).
The dYdX Foundation confirmed Arcus will have its own token, separate from $DYDX, with an allocation reserved for the dYdX community. No ticker, supply, or TGE date announced yet.
Position now: trade spot Stock Tokens at app.arcus.xyz (spot volume counts toward perps waitlist rank, backdated), and join the perps waitlist at waitlist.arcus.xyz — ranking factors include prior perps volume (dYdX, Hyperliquid, Lighter), referrals, and linking multiple wallets, including your dYdX v4 wallet.
Official link for waitlist: app.arcus.xyz
⚠️ ⚠️ Token details are completely unknown — size, mechanics, vesting, and TGE date all unconfirmed. Not available in the US, UK, Canada, and other restricted jurisdictions. Perps still gated in beta. Ignore any unofficial “Points Epoch” or “$ARC dashboard” posts — these are scams. Only use official app.arcus.xyz and waitlist.arcus.xyz.
