- Drift is designing its FUEL airdrop to encourage growth and reward users.
- It plans to launch major airdrops on Solana and other networks in 2025.
Drift is an on-chain trading platform, native to Solana. X, formerly Twitter, announced it would be giving out a Season 2 airdrop in May 2025. It has been a year since the platform reached a crucial milestone with the launch of the native DRIFT token in May 2024. FUEL rewards also began issuing in July 2024.
The FUEL airdrop will reward the active users on the Drift platform, ensuring the incentives for and supporting its growth ambitions. Drift is executing a broader strategy to evolve the Super Protocol. This includes expanding from borrowing and lending to derivatives, prediction markets, and automated market-making. The strategy also aims to incorporate wealth management features.
It was a series of steps forward Drift took for 2024. It did include integrating real-world assets plus added support to stablecoins that included USDe, PayPal USD, and Sky’s USDS. Liquid staking and structured products via Drift Earn vaults extended the offers, attracting millions in total value locked (TVL).
Airdrops Set to Dominate 2025
Crypto airdrops saw renewed interest in 2024, as seen with platforms like Hyperliquid, Starknet, and Pudgy Penguins. Enthusiasts are getting excited over upcoming airdrops in 2025, especially within the Solana ecosystem. Some top prospects include Jupiter’s second round, Solayer, Sanctum S2, Sonic SVM, and DeBridge S2.
At the same time, as Drift approaches its Season 2 airdrop, it increases its strength as a major decentralized trading player. It does not only reward its users but also supports the overall adoption of Solana-based protocols.
$DRIFT’s current price is trading at $1.331, a market cap of $358.90 million. Technical indicators are now a cautionary sign, on the Relative Strength Index RSI at 42.44, slightly bearish, the MACD line/carrying line is below the signal line, reinforcing this view. All this while Solana is trading at $205.50, now rallying at 8.37% within the last 24 hours.
Looking forward to 2025, Drift has unified five financial primitives, Borrow/Lend, Derivatives, Prediction Markets, AMM, and Wealth Management, into one permissionless platform. Drift aims to simplify onboarding and empower builders to reach everyone’s generational wealth.
