Sonic airdrop strategy #3: Printing points & fees

Here I am still trying to find new creative ways of earning Sonic points.

After setting up Silo’s lending loop, I started thinking:

Where’s all this S/stS volume going?

After having a quick look on DefiLlama, it seems to be going to Shadow Exchange:

People who are looping stS/S need liquidity, and liquidity providers are getting payed for that.

So instead of just farming points with lending, I’m also farming fees, Sonic Points, Sonic Gems, and Shadow tokens as an LP on ShadowDEX.

Why ShadowDEX?

• It’s the biggest DEX on Sonic.

• LPs get paid from both fees & rewards (169% APR last I checked).

• 16x Sonic Points multiplier on liquidity in the S/stS pool.

What I’m doing

Since everyone is looping S/stS on Silo, there’s high demand for swaps.

By LPing on ShadowDEX, I:

• Earn fees from traders.

• Stack Sonic points + gems.

• Farm SHADOW tokens for extra rewards.

The bottom line

I’ve given you three ways to farm Sonic efficiently in the last few days.

Sonic’s airdrop is coming in June 2025.

If it’s anything like HyperLiquid’s drop, I want as much exposure as possible before the snapshot.

It’s your turn if you so please.

Talk soon,
