Airdrops have been the talk of the town in Solana over recent months, with many people accumulating small fortunes simply by sticking it out in the bear market, and being active users of a range of apps and platforms.

The staggering surge in $BONK’s price since mid-October helped Solana’s flagship phone, the SAGA, sell out worldwide, as degens raced to purchase what at the time, was essentially a free phone. Currently,, the 30M $BONK claimable with each device no longer covers the expense of the SAGA. However, it seems many more airdrops are on the way for holders, with 100k $ACS leading this charge. With that being said, what can be done to prepare for the upcoming airdrop season, making sure that every opportunity is accounted for? Let’s take a look.

Kamino Finance ($KMNO)

Kamino Finance | The First Place to Earn Yield on Solana DeFi

Kamino has quickly become one of the leading DE-FI protocols on Solana, recently hitting a TVL of $200m, only three months after celebrating a TVL of $10m. Users on Kamino can currently:

The points system for Kamino is yet to go live, yet the team have been mentioning it consistently on X and Discord, so it cannot be far away. Due to this I cannot say for certain what the criteria will be for Kamino, but I can certainly imagine what it could be. So here are some suggestions:

Note: In the recent $JUP criteria, using the beta products such as DCA, had a large multiplier on the points earned, it’s possible Kamino will do something similar.

MarginFi ($MRGN)

MarginFI, and their first DE-FI product mrgnlend, which is an over-collateralised borrow/lend protocol embedded within marginfi, have had their points system up and running for a significant period already, and it is relatively simple to understand. You can either BORROW or LEND!
