What Is Drift Protocol?
Drift Protocol is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain. The DEX supports low slippage, low fees, and minimal price impact on all trades. It also offers spot trading, perpetuals trading, lending, and passive liquidity provision.
The project’s creators acknowledge that on-chain DEXs can be sluggish due to blockchain constraints, like speed and computational limitations. In response, Drift was designed to be a reliable and fast exchange, attracting market makers, creating liquidity, and a smoother trading experience.
How To Qualify For An Airdrop?
Drift recently announced an airdrop of 100 million DRIFT tokens and plans to launch a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) where token holders can vote on key decisions.
To reward users for their past contributions to the project, Drift will distribute tokens to those who meet the eligibility criteria:
👉 Long-standing users.
👉 Participants in programs like BAL or Insurance Fund on the platform.
👉 Contributions to the protocol through deposits.
👉 Active engagement as liquidity providers.
Final Thoughts
Drift will announce the exact requirements for claiming their free DRIFT governance tokens in a future blog post. Eligible users will then have a designated claim period to receive their tokens.
