SolMoon airdrop: a guide to the SOL rewards
An airdrop with no points and no waiting for a new token, but with games that call for caution.
The SolMoon airdrop is an ongoing rewards program on the Solana network that pays out directly in SOL, with no points to be converted into a token later. Participation includes a free daily box opening via Discord, hourly drops in the chat and additional rewards tied to wagering or referring other players. No specific end date or total distribution amount has been given.
What is SolMoon
SolMoon is a betting games platform on Solana, where bets and payouts are made in SOL, the network’s native cryptocurrency. It offers four games: Crash, Rug Scan, Tap Trade and Plinko.
Players use an internal account balance, which they fund from a connected wallet. Deposits and withdrawals are also made in SOL. SolMoon hasn’t announced a token of its own, so participating isn’t about collecting points for some future distribution.
The games use a provably fair system: each round is based on starting data, the so-called seeds, which have been committed to in advance. Users can verify the result in their browser. This concerns checking the outcome, not the odds of winning.
The airdrop in brief
SolMoon’s rewards are distributed in SOL through four different mechanisms, with no unified points system.
- Free daily box: Discord members can open one box a day for rewards in SOL.
- Hourly chat drops: a shared pot, funded by player tips, is split among active users of the website’s chat.
- Wager races: limited-time competitions with leaderboards and SOL prizes, which are credited automatically to the internal balance.
- Referral (affiliate) program: pays a commission equal to 1% of every bet placed by players who signed up through your referral, with no time limit.
The distinction matters: the daily box and the chat drops are not the same thing as the wager races. The latter put money at risk. We think this difference should be clear before any deposit.
How to participate step by step
The free daily reward requires joining Discord, while depositing SOL is about funding the balance for playing.
- Go to the official participation page.
Use the corresponding button on the page and check the address before connecting a wallet. Don’t assume a link is official just because it appeared in a message bearing the SolMoon name.
- Connect a compatible Solana wallet.
SolMoon supports Phantom, Solflare and Backpack. Choose your wallet and read the connection request. Connecting a wallet and transferring SOL to the internal balance are separate actions.
- Join Discord and open the free box.
Joining Discord is the requirement for the free daily box. The right to open it renews every day. No betting is required for this reward, and no specific amount of SOL per opening is set.
- Use the website’s chat.
The hourly drops go to active users of SolMoon’s chat. The process involves keeping the chat open while using the platform and taking part in the conversation. No specific number of messages that guarantees a reward is given, nor a fixed amount per user.
- Keep the optional deposit separate from free participation.
The games use SOL from the internal balance, which is funded from the connected wallet. The minimum deposit is 0.0001 SOL, but the minimum bet is 0.001 SOL. So the smallest allowed deposit isn’t enough for a single bet on its own.
- Check how the leaderboards work.
Every bet counts toward the overall leaderboard and toward whichever wager race is underway. Race prizes are paid automatically into the internal balance. Being on a leaderboard doesn’t guarantee a prize or cover your losses.
- Learn about the referral program.
Your personal referral link is in your account. The 1% commission is calculated on the amounts wagered by referred players, not on their winnings. It is a separate mechanism and not a requirement for the free daily box.
How the four games work
All four games use the same internal SOL balance and carry the risk of losing your bet.
In Crash, a multiplier starts at 1.00x and climbs until the rocket crashes. In Rug Scan, the player picks one of 30 coins and reveals tiles on a 5×5 grid, avoiding the hidden “rugs.”
Tap Trade uses a price grid for MOON, a synthetic SolMoon price, where the player picks a cell they think the price will touch. This is not the announcement of a native token. In Plinko, coins drop through 8 to 16 rows of pegs, with a selectable risk level.
What to watch out for
The main risk is treating the airdrop as a reason to bet more: the rewards don’t eliminate the platform’s mathematical edge.
The theoretical return to player (RTP) is 95%. Over a large betting volume, this corresponds to a theoretical edge of about 5% for the platform. It doesn’t mean every player will get back 95% of their deposit. The same amount can be wagered repeatedly, increasing the total volume.
The daily box is free, but the games are not. Don’t confuse a low minimum bet with low overall risk, and don’t increase your spending to chase a leaderboard spot or win back losses.
Watch out for copycat websites and private messages promising rewards. Never reveal your seed phrase (recovery phrase) or private key, and read every signature request before approving it.
For the tax treatment of airdrop rewards in Greece, keep a record of the credits and ask an accountant for personalized guidance.
Our position is simple: keep free participation separate from betting. The fact that rewards are paid in SOL makes them easier to track, not the games any safer.
