You're Not Too Late To Join Somnia's Diamond Hand Airdrop Adventurers

After Somnia’s airdrop, everyone who missed out has been asking the same question: “Am I too late?”

Of course you’re not too late! We’re just getting started with building, and we’re just getting started with incentives too! We allocated 80 million SOMI for ongoing incentives to support the community, developers, and creators. That’s 8% of the total supply!

Somnia has built an entire system around continuous engagement and real incentives, and the numbers speak for themselves.

After the initial airdrop, Somnia had a nearly 50% retention rate, with 9% of Somniacs holding onto all of their tokens instead of immediately dumping them, which is far beyond industry standards. According to AirdropBee, an average of 86.88% of all airdrop tokens are dumped at TGE, with some projects experiencing even higher percentages.

However, what’s even more telling is that retention increased after users unlocked additional tokens through weekly Somnia Odyssey missions, with 22% holding all tokens unlocked during the first week of October, and 50% holding onto some of their tokens. This means that sentiment about the future of Somnia has increased among the community since TGE.

That kind of retention is rare in web3, where most airdrops end in immediate sell-offs and ghost towns. So what makes Somnia different?

Building a Culture of Participation

Web3 incentives should be about creating real reasons for the community to explore the ecosystem and discover new applications. That philosophy led to the creation of the Somnia Quest Platform, which has already distributed tokens to nearly 100,000 users, and even after mainnet it will continue to grow with new seasons, new challenges, and new ways to get involved.

We feel that it is important to be clear about the incentives and which actions will actually be rewarded. Airdrop criteria is often shrouded in mystery and secrecy, which can sometimes cause tension between communities and projects because expectations are not aligned. This is why we developed the quest platform and also made testnet activities an important factor in the quests. At least 80% of the Somnia airdrop was given to users who actively participated in our testnet quests.

And remember, we’re just getting started!

If you haven’t checked it out yet, Season 5 is a huge opportunity because many people don’t even realize that quests are still happening. This means a bigger pool of rewards for those who participate.

The Somnia Odyssey: An Airdrop Adventure

Over eight weeks after TGE, users unlock their remaining airdrop allocations by completing missions in the Somnia Odyssey. Each week brings a new chapter, a new set of challenges, and a new opportunity to interact with projects that showcase the speed and capabilities of the network. Along the way, Somniacs are minting NFTs, bridging assets, exploring games, trading tokens, and experiencing the kind of real-time performance that most blockchains can only dream about.

The free missions only require standard gas fees, and you have up to 90 days to complete them. Bonus missions offer additional XP and unlock hidden perks, but they’re completely optional.

This was a new and innovative way of distributing an airdrop, and not everyone was sure about it at first, because everyone wants their tokens immediately. However, the increased retention week by week shows that the structure has worked. People are exploring the Somnia ecosystem and finding value there. As they travel through the Odyssey and the quests, Somniacs are finding applications that they want to continue using and they’re sticking around.

Don’t Sleep on Season 5!

When users continue holding tokens after unlocking additional allocations, they’re signaling belief in what’s being built. A retention rate of over 50% with 22% of them having diamond hands, combined with the overall increase in retention since TGE, shows that exposure to the Somnia ecosystem strengthens conviction.

The Quest Platform is still live, Season 5 is distributing rewards, and the mainnet ecosystem is still in its early stages. Start exploring the Somnia Quest Platform and see what Season 5 has to offer.

The incentives are real, the ecosystem is growing, and the best part? You’re not too late.
