    Nado Airdrop Details

    Nado now supports xStocks for spot trading and as collateral. AAPLx, METAx, GOOGLx, TSLAx, and NVDAx are live on the platform and can be traded or used to back positions.

    How to Farm the Nado Airdrop

    Step 1: Fund a Wallet and Bridge to Ink

    You need ETH for Ink gas and USDT0 to trade or deposit. Buy ETH and stablecoins on Binance, then move them to the Ink network using the bridge widget below or another bridge that supports Ink. Keep a small ETH balance for transaction fees.

    Bridge funds

    Swap and bridge across 30+ chains without leaving this page.
    Fast routes, low fees.

    Step 2: Create Your Nado Account

    Go to the Nado app and connect an EVM-compatible wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby. Season 2 opened to everyone, so you can sign up directly without a referral code.

    Step 3: Deposit Collateral

    Send USDT0 to your Nado account to use as margin. The unified margin system lets one balance support multiple spot and perpetual positions, so you do not need separate accounts for each market.

    Step 4: Trade Spot and Perpetual Markets

    Open positions across the Nado markets to earn points. Points reward genuine market participation rather than raw volume, so trading, posting limit orders as a maker, and supporting liquidations all count. Wash trading and self-matching can reduce or zero out your allocation for that week.

    Step 5: Provide Liquidity to the NLP Vault

    Deposit USDT0 into the NLP vault to earn points based on your average proportional share during each weekly epoch. The vault supplies liquidity to the orderbook and earns a cut of trading fees and liquidation proceeds, so you collect yield alongside points.

    Step 6: Use Tokenized Equities as Collateral

    Deposit SPYx or QQQx to hold spot exposure to US markets while trading from one portfolio. You can also borrow USDT0 against these positions and open BTC, ETH, or SOL perps, since Nado evaluates spot balances, perp positions, and borrowed liabilities under a single portfolio margin. Learn how to deposit xStocks on Nado.

    Step 7: Refer Active Traders

    Share your referral link from the Referrals page. You earn referral points only when the people you invite actually trade, so the rewards track real usage rather than sign-ups.

    Step 8: Track Points and Trading Tier

    Check the points page to monitor your weekly points, ranking, and Trading Tier. Tiers range from Breeze at the bottom to Tornado at the top and influence future NLP eligibility, so consistent weekly activity matters more than a single large session. Full mechanics are in the documentation.

    Latest Update: Nado Rewards Weekly USDT0 Pool

    Nado Rewards goes live August 3, 2026 at 1:30 PM UTC, paying up to $100,000 per week in USDT0 to traders on Nado. The pool scales with volume: $50,000 unlocks at $200M average daily volume and rises linearly to the full $100,000 at $350M, where it caps. Whatever unlocks each week is split among qualifying traders based on their activity.

    Trade to Earn Your Share

    Trade on Nado through the weekly period to qualify. You need USDT0 to trade and ETH for Ink gas. You can buy ETH or stablecoins on Binance and bridge to Ink using the Rhino.fi bridge. Your share comes from four activity types:

    • Taker volume (75%): your share of eligible taker volume.
    • xStocks spot maker (5%): liquidity provided on eligible xStocks spot markets.
    • PENG & Parabolic 7 maker (10%): maker volume on those markets.
    • Open interest (10%): positions held open through the week.

    Claim Your Rewards

    After each weekly period ends, rewards are reviewed, finalized, and become claimable on the Rewards page. Click Claim to receive your USDT0, and check your reward history for past weeks.

    Conclusion

    Nado gives traders a path to INK tokens through orderbook trading, NLP vault deposits, and referrals on Kraken’s Ink network. Points distribute weekly and convert at the token generation event expected in the third quarter of 2026, so the window to build a position is open now with Season 2’s open access.
