Sonic Labs, a new modular 2-layer project built on Ethereum, announced a massive $80 million Airdrop campaign aimed at expanding its user base in the U.S.
The announcement marks one of the largest airflow plans in recent memory, highlighting Sonic Labs’ ambitions that cement its position as a next-generation scaling solution for Ethereum-based decentralized applications (DAPPS). The event is structured to reward early adopters and new immigrants, with special focus on U.S. users as the project strengthens its global expansion.
Targeting our growth
In a strategic move to gain market share among one of the world’s largest crypto user bases, Sonic Labs is allocating most of its air conditioners to authenticated U.S. users. The initiative follows the growth trend of the second-tier project, which is to directly interact with users in regulatory-friendly jurisdictions.
“We see a huge opportunity in the U.S. market, especially as cryptocurrency adoption accelerates across fields such as gaming, payments and Defi,” a Sonic Labs spokesman said. “This air conditioner is not only a reward for support from the past, but an invitation for new users to explore what could happen to Sonic.”

Sonic Labs did not disclose the exact allocation criteria in the initial announcement, but sources close to the team confirmed that users of partner projects and chain-chain activities on Ethereum will play an important role in determining eligibility.
This air conditioning activity is expected to further stimulate Sonic Labs’ network effect and inspire developers and users to participate in the protocol more deeply. By aligning rewards with actual use and contributions, the activity aims to promote organic growth rather than speculative gas-dish farming.
Community and Investor Responses
Community responses are overwhelmingly positive, and many have noticed the scale and targeted nature of the program. Analysts believe this is a critical moment for Sonic Labs to build itself in a competitive landscape dominated by the 2-tier infrastructure providers it has built.
Industry observers also highlighted the movement as a potential catalyst for renewed interest in Ethereum-based applications, especially in the broader narrative shift towards high-performance and low-latency solutions.
Sonic Labs has promised to provide additional details in the coming weeks, including snapshot dates and distribution schedules. Interested users are encouraged to follow Sonic Labs’ official channels for eligibility tools and step-by-step guides.
As competition in the Ethereum layer 2 ecosystem intensifies, Sonic Labs’ $80 million Airdrop is likely to serve as a blueprint for ecosystem-driven growth strategies in the next market cycle.
