Recently, Binance founder CZ retweeted the official tweet of the SOON project. This action quickly ignited market sentiment, with many users believing it to be a strong endorsement of SOON's immense potential in the SVM track. Especially with the promotion of its BigBang plan and COMMing SOON NFT, the development prospects of SOON are widely optimistic. This article will focus on analyzing how to participate in SOON's BigBang Season and NFT, and explore potential airdrop opportunities.
Project Introduction
SOON is a Rollup stack based on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), focusing on high-performance blockchain solutions. Compared to traditional public chains, SOON is committed to providing more efficient and lower-cost infrastructure to support the large-scale implementation of Web3 applications.
SOON emphasizes a community-driven growth model, thus adopting a VC + community dual-drive financing model. The project raises funds through the COMMing SOON NFT Mint, aiming to fairly distribute 51% of SOON tokens to the community through NFT minting, attempting to return to the concept of a fair launch. This distribution model has a flavor of "everyone can share the cake," with strong dissemination attributes.
Its private placement round was led by Hack VC, with participation from institutions like ABCDE, Hypersphere, and SNZ Capital. Behind these institutions, one can almost see core team members of top blockchain projects like Solana and Celestia, highlighting the market's recognition of SOON's technical route and community model.
COMMing SOON NFT
COMMing SOON NFT is a token distribution mechanism launched by the SOON project, aimed at attracting early users through NFT Mint, incentivizing on-chain activities, and laying the foundation for the BigBang plan. Currently, users holding NFTs can participate in the Battle Pass pool by staking NFTs to earn token rewards and point bonuses. NFTs serve as a "pass" to participate in the BigBang plan, which we will explain in detail below.
The main ways to obtain COMMing SOON NFT are through minting on the SOON official website and task rewards.
SOON will conduct three rounds of NFT minting activities, with each round of NFT minting accounting for 13% of the total SOON token supply, totaling 39% for all three rounds, while the remaining 12% will be distributed through BigBang Season tasks and community activities. According to current information on the official website, the first round of sales (starting January 14, 2015) has ended, and the second round is currently underway, with a distribution quantity of 10,500 pieces. However, NFT minting requires an invitation code. Readers can follow their X platform account (@soon_svm) or other social media, as they may release something similar to a "treasure hunt" to obtain an invitation code.
COMMing SOON NFTs are divided into four types, each with different token rights. The following image is the initial pricing and rights for each type of NFT released by the official on January 6, 2025, but the pricing and rights may vary for each round of NFTs.
SOON-Pilled: 1-year lock-up period + 3-year linear unlocking, generated in the first round of minting, mainly held by seed round VCs;
SOON Squad: Currently changed to a 6-month lock-up period + 12-month linear unlocking, generated in the first round of minting;
SOONer: 3-month linear unlocking, generated in the first and third rounds of minting;
SOONest: Direct unlocking at TGE, generated in the second and third rounds of minting. The current price marked on the official website for the second round is $300, with 8,400 pieces available for minting.
Due to some users complaining about the high minting price in the first round, the official has alleviated some disputes through discounts and task rewards. However, the minting price for the second round may still have been adjusted downwards.
BigBang Plan
The BigBang plan is a community incentive and token distribution plan launched by the SOON project, aimed at fairly distributing 51% of SOON tokens to community users and early supporters through a series of tasks, NFT minting, and social interactions.
The plan will be conducted in multiple seasons, with different themes and activities for each season. Core activities include:
Deposits: Bridge deposits through the official provided link, which is one of the main ways to obtain airdrops. Some high-value tasks require users to deposit a certain amount of assets (such as at least $1,000 worth of ETH or stablecoins) on the SOON mainnet to ensure the long-term activity and liquidity of the ecosystem.
COMMing SOON NFT: Holding this NFT can provide deposit reward bonuses, which is the core boost tool of this plan.
On-chain tasks: Users need to complete interaction tasks with the SOON mainnet, such as Wallet connection, Bridge assets, DEX trading, Lending, Depin participation, and SociaFI social tasks. These tasks are humorously referred to as the "cattle raising" model, aimed at familiarizing users with the SOON ecosystem.
Social media interaction: By posting tweets and using the #SOONISTHEREDPILL tag, participants can earn points. Recently, after CZ retweeted SOON's tweet, participation in this segment has significantly increased.
Currently, the first season has ended, and the second season is ongoing. Due to the high complexity of tasks in the first season, the second season may have simplified task designs to lower the participation threshold. Known participation methods include: 1. Social media tasks; 2. Deposits.
Interactive Tutorial
Social Media Tasks
If users have not participated in any SOON-related activities before, they must click the flashing "Cabal" tag (the one with two red pills) on the homepage to register a SOON SVM wallet before proceeding with other operations. They can directly use OKX Wallet and then confirm the signature. To ensure quick access to this page, I will directly attach the page address (link: https://redpill.soo.network/). This wallet will also be needed for deposit tasks. If users have NFTs, they can directly use the wallet holding the NFTs.
The next step is quite important; the official has designed two types of pills, red and blue, for users to choose from. According to the official website's prompt, selecting the "red" pill will allow entry into the regular social media tasks, while the blue pill can be ignored.
Link your X account, follow the official SOON account (@soonsvm), tweet with the #SOONISTHEREDPILL tag or @soonsvm to increase community exposure. The tweet will undergo manual review to earn points.
Users can also design their X platform avatar on this page, but it is unclear whether this counts as a points task.
Deposits
To perform this task, you need to connect your SOON wallet, then "Join" the BigBang Season 2 event. It is important to note that previous on-chain activities will not be counted. If readers have previously purchased NFTs and bound an address, please be sure to use the same address.
Next, bridge deposits on the official website (link: https://bridge.mainnet.soo.network/home). Currently, only Ethereum and BNB Chain are supported, with supported assets including ETH and wrapped ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI, etc.
Reward points are calculated based on the deposit amount and holding time, with snapshots taken daily at midnight UTC.
Holding COMMing SOON NFT will earn reward bonuses, and additional rewards will be collectively settled at the end of the season.
