Hey there 👋,
Welcome to This Week In Solana, bringing you all the top news and airdrops.
Wormhole dropping its $W token really kicked things off for April, and Tensor is about to follow with $TNSR launching tomorrow which will be listed on Coinbase - I can’t wait to receive my allocation as a Tensorian!
Ok let’s get to the action.
Cheers!

Literally just opened my eyes. Want to be clear this is not from us in any official capacity. I love when the community do things and get excited. I guess we will see if this maintains to see if people really want this. Sort of on you @goblinking1945 haha

AIRDROPS
Parcl is set to launch its $PRCL token this month, with an initial points snapshot taken on April 2nd, and another loyalty and consistency snapshot still to come. 8% of the total supply is being allocated for the community (with Mad Lads receiving 0.1%). RWA tokenized funds like Blackrock’s $BUIDL may be watching for this drop
Drift trader points are set to end this month for the forthcoming airdrop. I’ve been placing trades there since last year, you can sign up with my link
Zeta Markets is due to drop its $Z token at the end of this month, here’s my link to get a 1.1x Z-SCORE boost
I’ve recently set up Uprock on my Macbook where I’m now earning rewards for sharing my internet connection
I’ve also installed the Grass chrome extension where I’m sharing my network to earn points
And I’ll be setting up IO.NET next to share my GPU for points to qualify for the airdrop scheduled on April 28th:
I believe @ionet_official will be one of the bigger launches in 2024.
It's easy to farm and requires no upfront capital.
This is how you can start farming it⇩

With so many places to farm, provide liquidity and stake, it’s hard to keep on top of your points allocations. Enter SonarWatch:
Few things we’ve added recently on @Sonarwatch
- @RaydiumProtocol Staking
- @banx_gg Staking
- @nosana_ai Staking
- @RainFi_ DeFi stuff (let me know if you see issue with it)
- @UXDProtocol $UXP StakingWe’re also planning on adding both @wormhole and @KaminoFinance… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

And the best way to ensure you get the next allocation is to stay curious and use protocols that interest you:
I didn't know Jupiter was going to ever have a token when I used it as a daily driver. It never even came up.
Same thing with Wormhole when I bridged to and fro to Terra and other chains from Ethereum.
Nor did I know Kamino will have an airdrop when I was using it for farming… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
