Project Overview
Guide
Step 1: Connect Wallet
First, head over to https://airdrop.soniclabs.com/ and Connect Wallet in the top right corner. In this guide we are using Rabby Wallet.
You will also need to enter your invite code. If you don't already have friends on Sonic testnet, you can go through their official X page or join their official Discord and Telegram channels to find invite codes being shared by other users.
You can access these here:
Sonic X: https://twitter.com/0xSonicLabs
Sonic Discord: https://discord.gg/3Ynr2QDSnB
Sonic Telegram: https://t.me/Sonic_English
Once your wallet is connected, in the left panel go to Sonic Arcade or you can head directly to https://arcade.soniclabs.com/.
You will need to connect your wallet again in the top right corner. The previous step gives you access to your points dashboard and referral code.
This step will let you play the games in Sonic Arcade.
After connecting your wallet, proceed to Add Testnet and confirm the action in your wallet.
You can then Get some $TOKEN which is the Sonic testnet token needed to play each game. Do take note that $TOKEN has no monetary value and each game costs 1 $TOKEN to play.
In order to get $TOKEN, you need to connect your X profile to proceed.
Click on Sign in with X and Authorize App in the new page.
After successfully connecting your X account, you can Get 420 $TOKEN.
Step 2: Play Games on Sonic Arcade
With $TOKEN in your wallet, it's time to play the games and earn points! However, do note that because Sonic is still in its testnet phase, players might have trouble with the games loading and executing the transactions. We recommend refreshing the pages a few times or coming back at a later time to try again.
The first game is Plinko, where players drop a ball from the top and let it bounce randomly until it lands in one of the slots at the bottom which offers different rewards.
Step 3: Refer Others
In the top bar, go to Points Dashboard or head directly to https://airdrop.soniclabs.com/.
On the left, go to Referral to get your code and share it with others. For each referral, you will receive 10% of the points they earn.
Conclusion
Sonic Labs marks a new phase for Fantom Foundation as the project moves the focus to building and developing the Sonic blockchain. The new blockchain will include launching a new native token, S, for users to pay for transaction fees, stake, and participate in governance. As the launch of Sonic approaches, Sonic Labs is running an airdrop program to incentivize and reward users who interact with the Sonic testnet.
Airdrops are highly speculative. Always do your own research and ensure you are on the legitimate site before connecting your wallet.

Beyond potential future airdrops, Sonic is actively promoting immediate earning opportunities. The platform encourages users to "Trade. Earn." by swapping between whitelisted pairs to earn a share of rewards pools through FlyTrade Boosts. This offers a continuous incentive for active participation and liquidity provision within the Sonic ecosystem's DeFi landscape.
