How the Airdrop Works
The Sanect airdrop distributes 300 million SNCT (30% of total supply) across four phases. Each phase snapshots activity, allocates 75M SNCT, and applies a 180-day linear vest from the moment you claim. Points reset every phase so late joiners start fresh.
There are 14 products that earn points. Every action is either time-locked (you earn by holding over days) or fee-locked (you earn proportional to fees paid). There are no flat per-action loops, no diversity multipliers, and no per-wallet caps. Real work earns real points.
Phase Schedule
- Phase 1: Snapshot at Day 180, 75M SNCT
- Phase 2: Snapshot at Day 270, 75M SNCT
- Phase 3: Snapshot at Day 360, 75M SNCT
- Phase 4: Snapshot at Day 450, 75M SNCT
Unclaimed tokens expire 365 days after their phase snapshot and return to the Treasury.
Before You Start: Setup
1. Add Sanect to Your Wallet
Open app.sanect.com and click Connect. MetaMask will prompt you to add the Sanect network automatically. If it does not, add it manually:
- Network name:
sanect - RPC URL:
https://rpc.sanect.com/ - Chain ID:
7628 - Symbol:
SNCT - Block explorer:
https://scan.sanect.com
2. Get SNCT
You need SNCT for gas and for staking. Two ways to get it:
- Bridge from Ethereum: Go to swap.sanect.com/bridge, connect your wallet on Ethereum, and bridge SNCT or other assets to Sanect.
- Buy on the DEX: If you have bridged USDC or USDT, swap for SNCT at swap.sanect.com.
3. Check Your Dashboard
Visit airdrop.sanect.com/dashboard to see your points breakdown across all 14 products. Each row shows your earned points, number of qualifying events, and a link to the app where you complete that quest.
The 14 Quests
Below is every product, what it pays, and exactly how to do it.
Quest 1: DEX Swap
Rate: 0.5 × fees paid (USD)
Every time you swap tokens on the Sanect DEX, you pay a 0.3% swap fee. Half of that fee amount (in USD terms) is credited as points.
How to do it
- Go to swap.sanect.com
- Connect your wallet
- Select your From and To tokens (e.g. SNCT → USDC)
- Enter an amount and click Swap
- Approve the token if prompted, then confirm the swap in MetaMask
Larger swaps earn more points because fees scale with volume. There is no cap on swap points.
Quest 2: Order Book Trade
Rate: 1 pt per $100 traded
Every trade on the Sanect order book DEX (CLOB) earns points based on the USD value of the trade. For every $100 you trade, you earn 1 point. This applies to both limit orders that get filled and market orders.
How to do it
- Go to trade.sanect.com
- Connect your wallet
- Select a trading pair (e.g. SNCT/USDC or SNCT/USDT)
- Place a limit order at your desired price, or a market order for immediate execution
- For limit orders: approve the token if prompted, then confirm the order placement in MetaMask
- When your order gets filled (partially or fully), points are credited to the taker
The order book DEX uses an on-chain Central Limit Order Book with price-time priority matching. Taker fee is 5 bps (0.05%) and maker fee is 1 bps (0.01%). There is no cap on order book trade points — the more you trade, the more you earn.
Example: A $10,000 trade earns 100 points. A $1,000 trade earns 10 points. Even small trades add up over time.
Quest 3: LP Held in Pool
Rate: 0.1 pt/day per $ of TVL
Providing liquidity earns points every day based on the USD value of your LP position. The longer you hold, the more you earn.
How to do it
- Go to swap.sanect.com/pool
- Click Add Liquidity
- Select a token pair (e.g. SNCT/USDC)
- Enter amounts for both sides. The DEX calculates the ratio automatically.
- Approve both tokens if needed, then click Supply
- You now hold LP tokens. Points accrue hourly based on your share of the pool.
Quest 4: Chef-Staking Bonus
Rate: +0.05 pt/day per $ of TVL (on top of Quest 3)
Depositing your LP tokens into the MasterChef farm contract earns an additional 0.05 pt/day per dollar, plus SNCT emission rewards. This stacks with the base LP points from Quest 2.
How to do it
- First, add liquidity (Quest 3) to get LP tokens
- Go to swap.sanect.com/farm
- Find your pool (e.g. SNCT/USDC)
- Click Deposit and enter the amount of LP tokens to stake
- Approve and confirm in MetaMask
You earn SNCT farming rewards and airdrop points simultaneously. The four incentivized pools are SNCT/USDC (30%), SNCT/USDT (30%), SNCT/WETH (20%), and SNCT/WBTC (20%).
Quest 5: Register a .snct Name
Rate: 20 pt × years registered
Registering a .snct domain name earns points based on the registration duration. A 1-year registration earns 20 points. A 3-year registration earns 60 points.
How to do it
- Go to domain.sanect.com
- Search for a name (5+ characters are open registration)
- Click the Register tab
- Enter your desired name and select a duration (1-5 years)
- Pay the registration fee in SNCT and confirm in MetaMask
Names with 5 or more characters are available for direct registration. Names with 3-4 characters go through a sealed-bid auction. Names with 1-2 characters are genesis-reserved.
Quest 6: Win a Sealed-Bid Auction
Rate: 10 pt × $ bid paid
Caps: 3 per day, 10 lifetime
Winning an auction for a premium 3-4 character .snct name earns points proportional to your winning bid amount.
How to do it
- Go to domain.sanect.com#auction
- Browse active auctions or start one for an unclaimed 3-4 character name
- Place a sealed bid (your bid amount is hidden until reveal)
- During the reveal phase, reveal your bid
- If you win, you earn 10 points per dollar of your bid
Quest 7: Marketplace Trade
Rate: 2 pt × $ traded
Caps: 3 per day, 10 lifetime
Buying or selling a .snct name on the marketplace earns points proportional to the trade value.
How to do it
- Go to domain.sanect.com#marketplace
- Browse listed names or list your own
- To buy: click a listing, approve the price, and confirm
- To sell: go to Manage, enter your name, and list it with a price
Quest 8: Shielded Held in Pool
Rate: 0.3 pt/day per $ shielded
This is the highest-earning time-based quest — 3x the rate of bridged assets. Holding SNCT in the shielded pool earns 0.3 points per day for every dollar of value shielded. Privacy is the product, so the protocol rewards it the most.
How to do it
- Go to app.sanect.com
- Click the Shielded button
- Click Derive to generate your viewing key (signs a message in MetaMask — no transaction, no gas)
- Click Shield and enter the amount of SNCT to shield
- The browser generates a zero-knowledge proof (~2-3 seconds), then MetaMask asks you to confirm the transaction
- Your SNCT is now in the shielded pool. Points accrue hourly.
You can unshield at any time by clicking Unshield in the same panel. Your shielded balance is visible only to you (via your viewing key).
Quest 9: Shielded Internal Send
Rate: 5 pt per send
Cap: 3 per day
Sending SNCT privately between shielded addresses earns a flat 5 points per send. This exercises the privacy system's core capability.
How to do it
- Shield some SNCT first (Quest 8)
- In the Shielded panel, click Send
- Enter the recipient's shielded address and the amount
- The browser generates a proof, then you confirm the transaction
You can do up to 3 shielded sends per day for airdrop points. The sends are fully private — the chain sees a proof was verified, but not who sent what to whom.
Quest 10: Bridged-In Held
Rate: 0.1 pt/day per $ held (per 24h)
Bridging assets from Ethereum to Sanect and holding them earns points over time. The bridge supports 14 assets: USDC, USDT, WBTC, WETH, DAI, LINK, UNI, AAVE, MKR, COMP, LDO, SHIB, PEPE, and CRV.
How to do it
- Go to swap.sanect.com/bridge
- Connect your wallet on Ethereum
- Select the asset to bridge (e.g. USDC)
- Enter the amount and click Transfer
- Approve and confirm in MetaMask. The bridge typically delivers in 1-3 minutes.
- Once the asset arrives on Sanect, points accrue daily based on its USD value.
Quest 11: Native Delegation
Rate: 0.05 pt/day per $ delegated
Staking SNCT with a validator earns points daily. You also earn staking rewards from the protocol's inflation — so delegation earns both SNCT rewards and airdrop points.
How to do it
- Go to app.sanect.com
- Scroll down to the Validators table
- Click Delegate next to the validator you want to stake with
- Enter the amount of SNCT to delegate
- Confirm in MetaMask
Your staked SNCT earns protocol inflation rewards (claimable via the Claim button) plus airdrop points. Unstaking takes 21 days, during which no rewards or points accrue.
Quest 12: Governance Vote
Rate: 50 pt per vote
Voting on governance proposals earns a flat 50 points per vote. Governance proposals are rate-limited by the protocol itself, so there is no daily cap.
How to do it
- Go to app.sanect.com
- When a governance proposal is active, a banner or section will appear
- Review the proposal and cast your vote (Yes / No / Abstain / NoWithVeto)
- Confirm in MetaMask
Governance proposals are created by validators or community members who deposit the minimum proposal bond. Keep an eye on the staking app and Telegram for announcements when new proposals go live.
Quest 13: Set Reverse Record
Rate: 100 pt (one-time)
Cap: 1 lifetime
Setting a reverse record links your wallet address to your .snct name so apps and the explorer display your name instead of 0x.... This is a one-time 100-point bonus.
How to do it
- First, register a
.snctname (Quest 5) - Go to domain.sanect.com#manage
- Click the Manage tab
- Enter your registered name in the input field
- Click Use as my primary name
- Confirm the transaction in MetaMask
This is the easiest 100 points in the entire program. Register a 5+ character name, set it as your primary, and you are done.
Quest 14: Bridged-Asset LP Bonus
Rate: +25% on LP and Chef points
If you provide liquidity to a pair that contains at least one bridged asset (USDC, USDT, WBTC, WETH, etc.), your LP held points (Quest 3) and Chef-staking bonus points (Quest 4) for that pair get a 25% boost.
How to do it
- Bridge an asset from Ethereum (Quest 10)
- Add liquidity to a pair that includes the bridged asset (e.g. SNCT/USDC)
- The bonus is applied automatically — no extra action needed
Off-Chain Quests (Up to 475 Points)
In addition to the 14 on-chain products, there are social quests worth up to 475 points per wallet. These are modest by design — on-chain product use is the main earning path.
- Twitter follow + 3 posts: 100 pts
- Telegram active 30+ days: 50 pts
- Discord rank above Member: 50 pts
- LinkedIn share or Medium post: 75 pts
- YouTube tutorial (100+ views): 200 pts
Verification is via Galxe and manual moderation. Visit airdrop.sanect.com/quests for details.
Referrals
Refer other users and earn ongoing commission on their points.
- 10 points flat per successful referral (one-time, on activation)
- +10% of every referee's phase points, every phase
A referral activates when the referee either bridges $50+ worth of assets or uses 3 or more Sanect products. There is no cap on the number of referrals.
How to refer
- Go to airdrop.sanect.com/refer
- Connect your wallet
- Copy your referral link and share it
- When someone uses your link and qualifies, you earn the flat bonus plus ongoing commission
Phase 1 Wallet-Age Multiplier
Phase 1 only applies a multiplier based on the age of your earliest on-chain activity across 6 EVM chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Avalanche).
- 1+ year: 1.1×
- 2+ years: 1.25×
- 5+ years: 1.5×
- 7+ years (pre-COVID OG): 2×
Check your multiplier at airdrop.sanect.com/eligibility. This multiplier applies only to your own earned points (not referral earnings) and only in Phase 1. Phases 2-4 have no multiplier.
Maximizing Your Points
The anchor rate is bridge held = 0.1 pt/day per dollar. Here is what $1,000 earns over 90 days across different products:
- Shielded held: 27,000 pts (the clear winner)
- Chef-staked LP: 13,500 pts
- Plain LP or bridge held: 9,000 pts
- Native delegation: 4,500 pts
The most capital-efficient strategy is to use multiple products simultaneously:
- Bridge assets from Ethereum (earns bridge-held points)
- Provide liquidity with bridged assets (earns LP + bridged LP bonus)
- Stake LP tokens in the Farm (earns chef bonus on top)
- Trade on the order book DEX (1 pt per $100 traded — compounds with active trading)
- Shield some SNCT in the privacy pool (earns the highest rate)
- Delegate some SNCT to a validator (earns staking rewards + airdrop points)
- Register a
.snctname and set the reverse record (one-time 120+ points) - Refer friends (10% ongoing commission)
