The second surprise airdrop in just a few weeks has landed for Solana Mobile Chapter Two pre-order holders. This time, it's from $MANEKI, a cat-themed meme coin that exploded in popularity – surging 20,000% within three days of launch. The airdrop, still ongoing, was valued at approximately $129 at the time of writing and may vary for some pre-order customers.
Importantly, this $MANEKI token airdrop joins a previous $MEW (another cat-themed meme coin) token airdrop. Combined, these airdrops now total a value of $459 – effectively exceeding the $450 cost of Chapter Two pre-orders placed during the early "founders window."
Why the Airdrop Frenzy?
Meme coins and other new projects see Solana Mobile pre-order holders as highly desirable targets for token distribution. Pre-order customers represent a tech-savvy, Web3-engaged audience. By airdropping to this group, projects improve token distribution metrics, enhance visibility, and gain a foothold in the Web3 mobile ecosystem.
Saga Phone Legacy and Continued Airdrop Potential
This wave of airdrops mirrors the successful launch of the limited-edition Solana Saga phone. The Saga sold out swiftly, fueled in part by a surge in value for the bundled $BONK tokens. This demonstrated the power of airdrops as a potent growth and marketing tool within the Solana landscape.
The Chapter Two, slated for release in the first half of 2025, is positioned to continue this trend. With over 120k pre-orders, Solana Mobile presents an even bigger and more attractive audience for airdrop-based promotions. It's likely we'll see further airdrops, ensuring that Chapter Two holders not only get an innovative Web3 phone but may ultimately see a positive return on their investment.
