Recently, Binance founder CZ retweeted the official tweet of the SOON project. This move quickly ignited market sentiment, and many users believed that this was a strong endorsement of SOONs huge potential in the SVM track. Especially driven by its BigBang plan and COMMing SOON NFT, SOONs development prospects are widely optimistic. This article will focus on analyzing SOONs BigBang Season and how to participate in NFT, and explore potential airdrop opportunities.
Project Introduction
SOON is a Rollup stack based on Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), focusing on high-performance blockchain solutions. Compared with 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, so it adopts a dual-wheel drive model of VC + community in financing. The project raises funds through COMMing SOON NFT Mint, aiming to fairly distribute 51% of SOON tokens to the community through NFT minting, trying to return to the concept of fair launch. This distribution model has a flavor of everyone can share the cake and has a strong communication attribute.
Its private round of financing was led by Hack VC, with participation from ABCDE, Hypersphere, SNZ Capital and other institutions. Behind these institutions, you can almost see the core team members of top blockchain projects such as Solana and Celestia, which shows that the market recognizes SOONs technical route and community model.
COMMing SOON NFT
COMMing SOON NFT is a token distribution mechanism launched by the SOON project. Its purpose is to attract early users through NFT Mint, incentivize on-chain activities, and lay the foundation for the BigBang plan. At present, users holding NFTs can participate in the Battle Pass pool by staking NFTs, and receive token rewards and points bonuses . NFTs are the pass to participate in the BigBang plan. We will explain the BigBang plan in detail below.
The main ways to obtain COMMing SOON NFT are through casting on the SOON official website and task rewards.
SOON will conduct three rounds of NFT casting activities, each round of NFT casting accounts for 13% of the total SOON token supply, and the three rounds total 39%. The remaining 12% will be distributed through BigBang Season tasks and community activities. According to the current official website information, the first round of sales (starting on January 14, 2015) has ended, and the second round is opening. The number of distributions in this round is 10,500, but NFT casting requires an invitation code . Readers can follow its X platform account ( @soon_svm ) or other social media, which may post similar treasure hunt games to obtain invitation codes.
COMMing SOON NFT is divided into four types. Each type of NFT has different token rights. The figure below is the official pricing and rights of each NFT initially released on January 6, 2025, but the pricing and rights of each round of NFT may be different.
SOON-Pilled : 1-year lockup period + 3-year linear unlocking, generated in the first round of minting, this type of NFT is mainly held by seed round VCs;
SOON Squad : Currently changed to a 6-month lockup period + 12-month linear unlocking, generated in the first round of minting;
SOONer : 3-month linear unlocking, generated by the first and third rounds of casting;
SOONest: TGE unlocked directly, minted in the second and third rounds. The current price for the second round marked on the official website is $300, and there are 8,400 pieces available for minting.
It may be that some users complained about the high casting price in the first round, and although the official has alleviated some of the controversy through discounts and task rewards, it is still possible that the casting price in the second round will be lowered.
BigBang Project
The BigBang program is a community incentive and token distribution program launched by the SOON project , which aims to fairly distribute 51% of SOON tokens to community users and early supporters through a series of tasks, NFT minting, and social interactions.
The program will be divided into multiple seasons, each season will have different themes and activities, the core activities include:
Deposit : Bridge deposits are made through the official website , which is one of the main ways to get airdrops. Some high-value tasks require users to deposit certain assets (such as ETH or stablecoins worth at least $1,000) on the SOON mainnet to ensure the long-term activity and liquidity of the ecosystem.
COMMing SOON NFT: Holding this NFT can add a bonus to deposit rewards, which is the core boost tool of the program.
On-chain tasks : Users need to complete interactive tasks with the SOON mainnet, such as Wallet connection, Bridge assets, DEX transactions, Lending, Depin participation, and SociaFI social tasks. These tasks are jokingly called the cattle raising model, which aims to familiarize users with the SOON ecosystem.
Social Media Engagement : Participants can earn points by posting tweets and using the hashtag #SOONISTHEREDPILL. This segment has seen a significant increase in engagement after CZ recently retweeted SOON.
The first season has ended and the second season is in progress. Due to the high complexity of the tasks in the first season, the second season may simplify the task design and lower the participation threshold. The currently known ways to participate include: 1. Social media tasks; 2. Deposit.
Interactive Tutorial
Social Media Tasks
If the user has not participated in SOON related activities before, then when entering the official website, you must click the flashing Cabal label on the homepage (where there are two red pills) to register a SOON SVM wallet before you can perform other operations. You can directly use OKX Wallet, and then sign and confirm. To ensure a quick link to the page, the author directly attaches the page address (link: https://redpill.soo.network/ ). This wallet is also needed in the deposit task. If you have NFT, you can directly use the wallet holding NFT.
The next step is more important. The official has designed two pills for users to choose, red and blue. According to the official website, choosing the red pill will enter the regular social media tasks, and the blue pill is ignored.
Link X account, follow SOON official account ( @soon_svm ), send tweets with #SOONISTHEREDPILL or @soon_svm to increase community exposure. The tweets will be manually reviewed before points can be obtained.
And users can design their own X-platform avatar on this page, but it is not clear whether it counts as a points task.
deposit
To do this task, you need to connect to the SOON wallet first, and then join the BigBang Season 2 event. The on-chain activities before this are not counted, so please pay special attention to this. If readers have purchased NFTs and bound addresses before, please be sure to use the same address.
The next step is to make a bridge deposit on the official website (link: https://bridge.mainnet.soo.network/home ). Currently, only Ethereum and BNB Chain are supported, and supported assets include ETH and wrapped ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI, etc.
Reward points are calculated based on the deposit amount and holding time, and a snapshot is taken at 00:00 UTC every day.
Holding COMMing SOON NFT will receive bonus rewards, and additional rewards will be settled collectively at the end of the season.
