SOON Rollup, a next-generation Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, has officially launched its mainnet and is rewarding its early supporters with a community airdrop. The announcement comes shortly after raising $22 million through a unique NFT fundraising campaign—making waves in both the NFT and DeFi ecosystems.
“This is a thank you to our community and a commitment to decentralization,” said the SOON team during the mainnet launch event.
$22 Million NFT Raise Signals Strong Market Confidence
In a bold and unconventional fundraising move, SOON Rollup raised $22 million entirely via NFTs, bypassing traditional venture capital methods. Supporters were offered exclusive NFTs representing staking rights, early governance access, and a place in the platform’s long-term rewards model.
The success of the NFT campaign highlights a growing trend of community-driven funding in the Web3 space. It also signals significant investor confidence in SOON’s scaling technology, which promises lower gas fees, higher throughput, and seamless Ethereum compatibility.
Mainnet Launch Paves Way for On-Chain Innovation
The SOON Rollup mainnet is now live, offering fast, affordable, and secure transactions for Ethereum users and developers. Built with ZK-rollup technology, SOON aims to address Ethereum’s biggest bottlenecks: high transaction costs and slow speeds.
“We built SOON to make Ethereum truly scalable without compromising on security,” said one of the core developers.
Developers can now deploy smart contracts, mint NFTs, and launch dApps directly on SOON Rollup, with full compatibility with existing Ethereum tools like MetaMask, Hardhat, and Remix.
Airdrop Targets Loyal Users and On-Chain Activity
The upcoming SOON token airdrop will reward early NFT backers and community members who interacted with the protocol on testnet or mainnet. Snapshot details are expected soon, with eligibility based on wallet activity, NFT ownership, and ecosystem engagement.
The airdrop is designed to distribute governance power among the most active users, allowing them to shape the platform’s future roadmap and fee structures.
