Crypto Airdrops Week 40/2026: All the Deadlines

The Dates at a Glance

1. Sonic (S): 17 Days Until 32.69 Million Tokens Are Burned

This is the most important entry of the week, because it has the rare feature this format is actually looking for: a hard end date, published for months, with an unambiguous consequence. Sonic Labs announced on April 2, 2026 that all unclaimed airdrop shares from season 1 and season 2 would be released for burning after October 15, 2026. According to the project, around 32,690,000 S are affected. When the announcement was retrieved again on September 28, 2026, it carried no indication of any extension or change.

The mechanism is the reason nothing gets renegotiated here: once the deadline passes, the contract allows any address at all to trigger the burning of the remaining holdings. No further decision by the team is needed and no second announcement. The date is October 15, and after that it can happen at any moment; anyone hoping for a quiet extension of the kind many claim portals grant is hoping for something the technology does not provide for.

Two different start dates for the discount-free claim matter for context: for season 1 it has been running since April 18, 2026, for season 2 since May 24, 2026, both up to October 15, 2026. Before that, claiming came with a reduction. Anyone who held off out of fear of the discount is by now waiting for no reason. Claims go through the project's portal at my.soniclabs.com/airdrop, and for positions held as fNFTs additionally through the marketplace set up for that purpose. The announcement with all the details is in the Sonic Labs blog.
