Compete in the Airdrop Arena & Win Your Share of $250,000 in SOL
Crypto.com Launches SOL Reward Campaign in Airdrop Arena With $250,000 Prize Pool
Crypto.com has rolled out a new reward campaign inside its Airdrop Arena, offering users a fresh way to earn crypto without the need for daily trading. At the center of the event is a US$250,000 SOL reward pool, which will be distributed to participants who allocate CRO during the campaign period.
The promotion is already live and will run throughout January, linking Crypto.com’s CRO ecosystem with the Solana network—currently one of the most active layer-1 blockchains in the market. Rather than encouraging high-frequency trading, the campaign focuses on steady participation, allowing users to accumulate points over time and receive SOL rewards once the event concludes.
Early Participants Get a Major Advantage
Crypto.com is incentivizing early engagement by offering a points boost of up to 120% to the first 10,000 users who allocate CRO. This early-access bonus gives participants a meaningful head start in point accumulation.
In addition, users can unlock a daily points boost of up to 120% by purchasing at least 1,500 CRO and transferring it into Airdrop Arena.
Tip: The CRO purchase must be completed before allocation. If CRO is allocated first, the daily boost may not apply.
How to Participate Using the Crypto.com App
Participation is handled entirely within the Crypto.com app, making the process accessible even for casual users. Airdrop Arena can be found through:
Account
Earn
Supermenu
Once inside Airdrop Arena, users simply allocate CRO into the campaign. Points are then accumulated automatically throughout the event. There is no need for constant monitoring, no trading requirement, and no complex strategy, making this campaign closer to passive participation than active speculation.
Simple CRO Allocation, Transparent Rewards
The campaign structure is intentionally straightforward:
Allocate CRO into Airdrop Arena
Earn points while the event is live
Receive a share of the SOL reward pool based on total points earned
Campaign Schedule
Start: 1 January 2026, 10:00 UTC
End: 31 January 2026, 09:59 UTC
After the campaign ends, Crypto.com will calculate final point totals and distribute SOL rewards accordingly.
Reward Distribution and Lockup Rules
SOL rewards will be airdropped within 7 days after the campaign concludes
Users with Loot Locker enabled will receive rewards after the lockup period
Users without Loot Locker will receive SOL directly in their Crypto Wallet
Allocated CRO is locked for 6 months. Once the lockup ends, users may withdraw their CRO or leave it allocated to automatically participate in future Airdrop Arena campaigns—an approach clearly designed to encourage long-term ecosystem engagement rather than short-term farming.
Why SOL Rewards Matter
Using SOL as the reward asset adds meaningful appeal. Solana remains one of the most closely watched ecosystems in crypto, supported by active development, DeFi growth, memecoin momentum, and expanding infrastructure. As a result, SOL is widely seen as a token worth holding, not merely a short-term reward to be sold immediately.
By pairing CRO allocation with SOL incentives, Crypto.com effectively connects its platform activity with another high-engagement blockchain ecosystem.
Airdrop Arena Signals a Broader Exchange Trend
This campaign reflects a wider shift across centralized exchanges. Rather than relying purely on trading volume incentives, platforms are increasingly emphasizing loyalty-driven mechanics—including allocation systems, time-based campaigns, and structured lockups that promote sustained user participation.
For CRO holders, the SOL Airdrop Arena provides exposure to Solana without selling assets or actively trading. For Crypto.com, it strengthens retention while reinforcing long-term engagement through recurring events and lockup-based participation.
