Somnia Foundation has taken another big step toward building its onchain ecosystem with the release of the official $SOMI airdrop checker. The tool, announced over the weekend, lets users confirm eligibility and preview how the token will operate inside the network.
Good to know
The airdrop isn’t open to everyone—it’s designed to reward early supporters and contributors. Somnia set specific criteria for eligibility, including an Authena score above 30, ownership of ecosystem NFTs, or holding community roles on Discord.
Roles like OG Somniac, Guardian, BugBuster, and Quest participants all qualified. Creators with Distinguished or Supreme Creator titles, developers such as Grand Architects and Master Builders, and power users holding the Syndicate role were also included. On the flip side, accounts caught abusing the system with “wallet hopping” tactics were excluded.
At launch, 5% of the token’s total supply will be distributed. Of that, the majority—about 4.33%—goes to testnet users who engaged with quests and gave feedback. Another 0.38% is allocated to creators, while 0.1% is reserved for SomniYaps holders. Quills NFT owners receive an additional 0.2% for their cultural contributions.
To prevent instant sell-offs, most participants will receive just 20% of their allocation upfront. The rest will unlock gradually over 60 days, tied to weekly mainnet quests. Users who don’t complete tasks within 90 days lose unclaimed tokens, which will return to the ecosystem fund. Certain groups, like SomniYaps and Quills NFT holders, get full access on day one.
Somnia set a total supply cap at 1 billion $SOMI, introducing a deflationary twist by burning half of all gas fees. Validators are rewarded with 10% of the supply, but unlike other networks, rewards won’t rely on unchecked inflation.
$SOMI will play a central role: covering transaction costs, enabling staking for validator positions, and later granting governance rights to the community.
Somnia’s progress over the past year set the stage for the token release. The Devnet, launched in late 2024, exceeded expectations by handling over 1 million transactions per second with sub-second latency. The “Shannon” Testnet that followed processed more than 2 billion transactions, drawing in 60 validators and 70 projects. These achievements laid the foundation for $SOMI to move into circulation.
The airdrop is just the start. Somnia has earmarked another 8% of the supply for future rewards, aimed at creators, developers, and community members. A new program, Somnia Mines, is also on the roadmap, promising additional ways to engage with apps and earn tokens.
