If you're trading perpetual contracts on SakePerp or lending assets on Sake Finance, you might be sitting on a pile of SAKE airdrop points - and you probably don't even know it yet. This isn't some vague promise. It's a live, active system where your actions right now directly affect how many tokens you’ll get when SAKE officially launches. No guessing. No hype. Just clear steps you can take today to maximize your reward.

What Exactly Is the SAKE Airdrop?

The SAKE token is the governance token behind three interconnected DeFi platforms: SakePerp (perpetual futures), SakeSwap (spot trading and ILOs), and Sake Finance (lending and borrowing). The airdrop isn’t a one-time giveaway. It’s a points-based system called Sake Points that rewards users for using these platforms over time. The more you trade, lend, borrow, or engage with the community, the more points you earn. When the token launches, those points will be converted into SAKE tokens.

There’s no official launch date yet. But the system is live. And it’s accumulating value every day. Your activity now is building your future claim.

How Sake Points Work

Sake Points aren’t earned randomly. They’re tied to specific actions across the Sake ecosystem. Here’s how they break down:

• Supplying collateral on Sake Finance: Deposit ETH, WETH, ASTR, or USDC.e as collateral. Each asset earns different point multipliers based on its risk profile and demand.
• Borrowing assets: Taking out a loan using your collateral increases your points - but only if your health factor stays above 1.0. If it drops below that, your position is at risk of liquidation, and you lose points.
• Trading on SakePerp: Every trade you make on perpetual pairs like BTC/BUSD, ETH/BUSD, or DOGE/BUSD earns points. The platform uses a vAMM + Oracle system, so prices stay close to real markets without funding rates. That means more stable trading and consistent point accumulation.
• Liquidity provision on SakeSwap: Adding liquidity to ILO pools or existing AMM pairs earns you 3% of withdrawal fees, which are used to buy back and burn SAKE tokens. You also earn farming rewards in SAKE.
• Community engagement: Follow SakeFinance on Twitter and join their Discord. Getting the "Sipper" role in Discord is mandatory for eligibility.
• Layer3 quests: Complete simple tasks on the Layer3 platform connected to your wallet. These might include checking your balance, sharing a post, or verifying your wallet.

How to Start Earning Sake Points

You don’t need to be a crypto expert. But you do need to take action. Here’s your step-by-step starter plan:

1. Connect your wallet: Use MetaMask or WalletConnect to link your wallet to Sake Finance Rewards. You’ll need to sign a message to prove ownership.
2. Join the community: Follow @SakeFinance on Twitter and join their Discord server. Once you’re in, react to the welcome message to get the "Sipper" role. Without this, you won’t qualify.
3. Bridge assets to Soneium: Sake Finance runs on the Soneium network. You can’t use assets from Ethereum or BSC. Buy ETH or USDC.e on Binance or another exchange, then use the Rhino Bridge to transfer them to Soneium. Make sure you leave enough ETH for gas fees - at least 0.01 ETH.
4. Deposit collateral: Go to the lending section and supply at least one asset. ETH and USDC.e are the most stable options. You’ll see your health factor update in real time. Keep it above 1.0.
5. Start trading on SakePerp: Open a small position on BTC/BUSD or ETH/BUSD. Even a $50 trade counts. The system tracks every trade you make.
6. Complete Layer3 quests: Visit the Layer3 platform linked from the Sake Finance dashboard. Do at least 3 tasks. They take under 5 minutes total.

Do all of this in the next 7 days, and you’ll be in the top 10% of active participants. You don’t need to deposit $10,000. Just be consistent.

What Assets Can You Use?

Not all assets are equal. Here’s what you can supply on Sake Finance and how they affect your points:

Supported Collateral Assets and Their Point Multipliers

Asset	Collateral Factor	APY (Estimated)	Point Multiplier
ETH	85%	4.2%	1.0x
WETH	85%	4.2%	1.0x
USDC.e	90%	5.1%	1.2x
ASTR	75%	8.5%	0.9x

USDC.e gives you the highest point multiplier because it’s stable and widely used. ETH and WETH are safe bets. ASTR has higher yield but lower multiplier - better for boosting APY than points. Stick with ETH and USDC.e if your goal is maximizing airdrop rewards.

How the Platform Keeps Things Safe

You might worry about losing money. The system is designed to protect you. Every position has a health factor - a number that shows how safe your collateral is compared to your debt. If it’s above 1.0, you’re fine. If it drops below 1.0, your position can be liquidated.

Here’s how to stay safe:

• Don’t borrow more than 60% of your collateral value.
• Keep at least 20% extra ETH or USDC.e as buffer.
• Check your health factor daily - it changes with asset prices.
• If you’re trading on SakePerp, use stop-loss orders. The platform doesn’t auto-close positions.

The platform also uses a unique vAMM + Oracle system. Unlike other perpetual exchanges that rely on funding rates (which can spike unpredictably), SakePerp pulls prices from real-time oracles and uses bots to arbitrage with centralized exchanges like Binance. This keeps prices tight and trading smooth - even if liquidity disappears.

How to Track Your Points

You can’t see your final token amount yet - it hasn’t been calculated. But you can track your progress:

• Go to https://app.sake.finance/rewards
• Connect your wallet
• Check the "Your Points" section
• Look at the breakdown: Supply, Borrow, Trade, Quests, Community

You’ll see your total points update every few minutes. It’s live. No delays. If you’re not seeing your points after 15 minutes, double-check that you’ve completed all steps - especially the Discord role and Layer3 tasks.

What Happens When SAKE Launches?

When the token is officially released, your Sake Points will be converted into SAKE tokens based on a formula that hasn’t been published yet. But here’s what we know for sure:

• Points from SakePerp trading will be weighted differently than points from Sake Finance lending.
• Users who participated from day one will get a higher multiplier.
• There’s no cap on participants - the more people join, the more tokens are allocated.
• 50% of all SakePerp trading fees go toward buying back SAKE tokens and locking them as insurance. This means the token’s value grows as the platform grows.
• LPs on SakeSwap get a share of 3% withdrawal fees, which are also used to burn SAKE - reducing supply and increasing scarcity.

Think of it like this: Every trade you make, every dollar you lend, every quest you complete - it’s not just earning you points. It’s helping build the value of the token you’ll receive.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Most people who miss out on this airdrop do it because of simple errors:

• Using the wrong network: Sending ETH from Ethereum mainnet to Sake Finance? That won’t work. You must bridge to Soneium.
• Not getting the Discord role: No "Sipper" role = no eligibility. Even if you trade and lend, you’ll be excluded.
• Ignoring Layer3: It’s easy to skip, but it’s worth 15-20% of your total points.
• Letting your health factor drop: Liquidation wipes your points. Don’t over-leverage.
• Waiting until the last minute: Points accumulate over time. The longer you’re active, the more you earn.

Is This Worth Your Time?

Yes - if you’re already trading or lending in DeFi. This isn’t a lottery. It’s a reward system built into a working platform. SakePerp already has live trading volume. Sake Finance has real deposits. The token isn’t theoretical - it’s coming.

You don’t need to risk your life savings. Start with $100 in ETH or USDC.e. Lend it. Trade a small BTC position. Join Discord. Do the quests. That’s it.

If you do this now, you’re not gambling. You’re investing your time in a system that’s already generating value. When SAKE launches, you’ll get a share of the revenue, governance rights, and the upside of a growing DeFi ecosystem.

It’s not free money. But it’s fair money - earned by doing the work.
