The Solana ecosystem is experiencing explosive growth, and with the launch of the Solana Super Season, now is the perfect time to dive into one of the most dynamic blockchain networks in Web3. For users of OKX Wallet, this season presents a unique opportunity to explore high-potential decentralized applications (DApps), earn rewards, and position themselves for potential future airdrops.
Airdrops have long been a major incentive in the crypto space—early adopters who actively engage with emerging protocols often reap significant rewards. In late 2023 alone, projects like BONK and JTO distributed over $1.6 billion in airdropped tokens. Today, attention has shifted toward Solana-based protocols, many of which are building community-driven ecosystems with strong airdrop expectations.
One key trend fueling this movement is Points systems—on-chain activity trackers that function as informal leaderboards for potential airdrop eligibility. By interacting with protocols early, users can accumulate points and increase their chances of being rewarded when token distributions occur.
This guide walks you through how to use your SOL holdings to engage with promising Solana DApps via OKX Web3 Wallet, optimize your participation, and potentially qualify for upcoming incentives—all while managing risk responsibly.

Getting Started: Prepare Your OKX Web3 Wallet
Before diving into protocol interactions, ensure your wallet is set up for success:
- Use the latest version of the OKX App (v6.41.0 or higher) and switch to the Web3 Wallet tab.
- Deposit sufficient SOL to cover transaction fees and interactions.
- Navigate to the Discover section and select Cryptopedia: Solana to access curated DApp experiences.
Cryptopedia is an integrated DApp discovery platform that partners with emerging blockchain projects to offer guided user journeys, reduce onboarding friction, and reward engagement—all within a secure environment.
Why Stake SOL First?
Consider using Marinade Finance through OKX DeFi to stake your SOL. This not only earns you yield but also provides Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) such as mSOL, which can be used across various protocols to maximize point accumulation. For example, borrowing or supplying LSTs on certain platforms may earn bonus points.

Step-by-Step Guide to Key Protocols
1. marginfi – Portfolio Margin Trading on Solana
marginfi is a decentralized margin trading protocol that allows users to manage their entire asset portfolio under a single unified account, improving capital efficiency across Solana DeFi.
How to Participate:
- Connect your OKX Web3 Wallet to marginfi.
- Supply any Solana-based assets (e.g., SOL, mSOL).

💡 Pro Tip: Borrowing LSTs like mSOL or bSOL earns 4x more points per dollar borrowed, compared to 1x for regular assets.
Points System:
- +1 point per dollar supplied
- +1 point per dollar borrowed
- +4 points per dollar borrowed if it’s an LST
👉 Maximize your point-earning potential with strategic borrowing
2. Kamino Finance – Automated Liquidity Management
Kamino optimizes yield on Solana’s concentrated liquidity markets (CLMMs) by automatically rebalancing positions, compounding fees, and managing risk using quantitative models.
How to Participate:
- Connect your wallet.
- Supply assets like SOL or stablecoins.
- Consider borrowing low-volatility assets (e.g., USDC or SOL) to boost interaction depth.
⚠️ Note: Some borrowing pools may be full. Wait for availability rather than opting for high-risk assets.
Points System:
- Dynamic scoring model; details subject to change by Kamino team.
- Active supply/borrow behavior increases eligibility.
- Focus on stable asset pairs for optimal safety and reward potential.
3. Jupiter – Leading DEX Aggregator
As Solana’s primary liquidity aggregator, Jupiter routes trades across multiple DEXs to find the best prices and deepest liquidity.
How to Participate:
- Connect your wallet.
- Swap between stable assets (e.g., SOL ↔ USDC).
- Increase frequency and volume of swaps for higher engagement.
✅ Airdrop confirmed: Distribution occurred January 31, 2024. Prior activity likely influenced eligibility.
Regular trading activity contributes directly to point accumulation—more trades mean stronger signals of active usage.
4. Meteora – Dynamic Yield Infrastructure
Meteora introduces adaptive AMM pools that dynamically shift liquidity allocation every few minutes to maximize returns across lending protocols.
How to Participate:
- Connect your wallet.
Provide liquidity to low-risk pools such as:
- SOL – mSOL/bSOL
- USDT – USDC
- Use "Balanced Deposit" for automatic token ratio optimization.
📢 Official confirmation: 10% of $MET tokens are allocated to liquidity providers via the “Stimulus Package.”
Ensure you hold both sides of the pair—acquire missing LSTs via OKX DEX or by staking SOL through Marinade Finance.
5. Sniper (SOLSniper) – NFT Trading Terminal
Sniper offers real-time analytics for NFT markets, including price alerts, listing trackers, and customizable dashboards—ideal for active traders.
How to Participate:
- Connect your wallet.
- Buy and sell NFTs on supported marketplaces.
- Generate transaction history and engagement signals.
Even small-volume trades contribute to interaction metrics that could influence future rewards.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does participating guarantee an airdrop?
A: No. While these protocols show strong airdrop signals, none are guaranteed. Participation increases your odds but depends on final project decisions.
Q: Are there risks involved in using new DApps?
A: Yes. Smart contract vulnerabilities exist, especially in early-stage protocols. Always assess risk, avoid over-leveraging, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Q: Should I borrow volatile tokens to earn more points?
A: Not recommended. Borrowing high-volatility assets may lead to repayment at inflated values during price surges. Stick to stablecoins or SOL for safer participation.
Q: Can I use multiple wallets to increase rewards?
A: No. Multi-wallet or sybil behavior violates terms of service and may disqualify you from current and future campaigns.
Q: When will rewards be distributed?
A: Distribution timelines vary by protocol. Some may reward during the event; others may delay until after mainnet launch or governance decisions.
Q: Is Cryptopedia available outside the OKX App?
A: No. Access requires the OKX mobile app with Web3 Wallet enabled. Ensure you're using v6.41.0 or later.
