Disclaimer: Crypto airdrops are promotional events where tokens are distributed to existing cryptocurrency holders or to individuals who meet certain criteria. While airdrops can be a way to acquire tokens at no cost, they also involve risks. There’s no guarantee that the airdropped tokens will increase in value, and there may be associated fees or requirements. Airdrops can also be susceptible to scams and phishing attempts. Always exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of any airdrop opportunity before participating.
Nado runs a weekly USDT0 rewards pool for traders on its platform, paying out up to $100,000 a week based on trading activity. No native Nado token has been confirmed yet, so the current opportunity is the points and rewards system itself, not a token drop. [VERIFY, writer to confirm whether Nado has announced a token plan]
What Is Nado?
Nado is a central-limit orderbook DEX where raw power meets surgical precision to deliver breathtaking performance for traders. Trade spot and perpetuals via unified margin, where kinetic collateral dynamically flows across positions, netting risks in real-time for superior capital efficiency.
How to be Eligible for the Nado Airdrop?
Nado Season 2 distributes weekly points based on eligible user activity, with the points pool size linked to protocol volume and a stated 300,000-point weekly minimum. Nado’s referral program also awards points based on referred users’ trading activity.

How to Participate in the Nado Airdrop?
Participating takes a few setup steps before any points start accruing. Here’s the full process, in order.
Buy ETH and a Stablecoin
Buy ETH and a stablecoin such as USDT on an exchange like Binance, since you will need ETH for gas on Ink and USDT0 to trade or deposit.
Bridge to Ink
Bridge those funds to the Ink network using a supported bridge, such as Rhino.fi, and keep a small ETH balance set aside for transaction fees.
Create a Nado Account
Go to the Nado app and connect an EVM wallet like MetaMask or Rabby to create your account.
Deposit Collateral
Deposit USDT0 as collateral. Nado’s unified margin system lets one balance support multiple spot and perpetual positions.
Trade Spot and Perpetual Markets
Trade spot and perpetual markets to earn points. Points reward real participation, including maker orders and supporting liquidations, and wash trading or self-matching can reduce or zero out that week’s allocation.
Provide Liquidity to the NLP Vault
Deposit USDT0 into the NLP vault to earn points based on your average share of the vault during each weekly epoch, alongside a cut of trading fees and liquidation proceeds.
Use xStocks as Collateral
Deposit SPYx or QQQx for spot exposure to US markets from the same account used for crypto, and borrow against these positions to open BTC, ETH, or SOL perpetual positions.
Refer Other Traders
Share your referral link from the Referrals page. Referral points only count once the person invited begins trading.
Track Points and Trading Tier
Check the points page regularly to track weekly points, rank, and Trading Tier, which runs from Breeze at the bottom to Tornado at the top and affects future NLP vault eligibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Need a refresher? Here are the questions most readers ask about Nado.
Does Nado have a confirmed token?
Not at this time. The current rewards structure pays out in USDT0 through a weekly pool rather than a native Nado token.
How much money do I need to start farming Nado?
There is no stated minimum deposit to begin trading and earning points, though the separate NFT draw requires $200,000 in trailing 30-day volume.
What wallets work with Nado?
Any EVM-compatible wallet works, including MetaMask and Rabby, since Nado runs on the Ink network.
Can I lose money farming this airdrop?
Yes. Trading spot and perpetual markets and depositing into the NLP vault both put real capital at risk, unlike free social-task airdrops.
Do referrals count immediately?
No. Referral points accrue only once the referred person begins trading, not at sign-up.
