Solstice Airdrop Season 3: Farm Flares and Claim SLX

How to claim Season 2 SLX (the Solstice airdrop checker)

There’s no separate checker. Connect the wallet you farmed with on the Flares dashboard. It shows your Flares, your TVL, your multiplier and your Season 2 allocation. Click “See vesting platform” to open the Claims Portal, pay the fee (about $1 a claim) and claim whatever has unlocked. Wallets with under 1 SLX can’t claim. You can come back any time for the next chunk.

Vesting began when claims opened on 10 Aug. Plan selection closed on 18 Aug, and the first unlock and TVL tracking started on 20 Aug. The 9-month plan unlocks daily with no TVL rule. The 6-month plan unlocks faster, but only while your eligible TVL stays above a minimum set by your Season 2 TWA baseline (your time-weighted average deposit over Season 2). The app shows your buffer. Drop below it and your claims pause and you get a warning. If you don’t restore it within the grace window, the unvested SLX is forfeited.

Here’s the odd bit. Claims close on 10 Jan 2027, but vesting runs to roughly February 2027 on the 6-month plan and May 2027 on the 9-month plan. Solstice hasn’t explained how those dates fit, or which plan wallets that missed the 18 Aug selection ended up on. So claim everything that has unlocked before 10 Jan, and ask in the in-app chat whether SLX that unlocks after that stays claimable.

Season 1 in one line: 14,895 wallets registered and 5% to 25% unlocked at TGE by rank. A second unlock came 45 days later, then daily vesting over 3 months (TVL required) or 9 months. Every registered wallet also got 702 SLX taken from the wallets that never registered.

SLX token address, supply and unlocks

The SLX mint is SLXdx4BUt2v9uJQNzWqSfzTJ9UKLUDsvxHFMEEdrfgq. Fake tokens copy the ticker, so check the mint on an explorer before you swap. SLX trades on DEXs and centralised exchanges, and CoinGecko lists the live venues.

What are Solstice USX and eUSX?

USX is Solstice’s dollar stablecoin. Whatever older guides say, you can’t mint it 1:1. Only KYC’d institutional partners mint and redeem directly. Everyone else swaps in and out, in the Solstice app or on Orca and Raydium. USX pays no yield by itself. If synthetic stablecoins are new to you, this stablecoin breakdown shows how their backing differs from USDC’s.

eUSX is USX deposited in Solstice’s YieldVault. It earns by holding crypto and shorting the same amount, which collects funding payments. The yield builds into its rate: 1 eUSX was worth 1.048 USX on 10 Oct. The live APY only shows once you connect a wallet, so check it there before you count on it. To get out, you either wait for a 7-day unlock (24 hours for $1,000 or less) or swap on a DEX straight away at the market price. eUSX earns 2x Flares against 10x for plain USX, so you’d only hold it for the yield.

strcUSX, the tranched USX product, is finished. Its yield and Flares both stopped in late September, so ignore it even if it’s still on quest lists.

How Solstice Season 3 Flares are counted

Only matured TVL counts. Basically each deposit gets its own 7-day clock, and withdrawals come out of the newest one first (LIFO). So pulling out last week’s top-up doesn’t touch the money you put in back in August.

Season 3 ends on 1 Dec, and Solstice hasn’t given an end time. A deposit made on 24 Nov only matures on the final day and may earn nothing, so treat 23 Nov as the latest. Go earlier if you can, because Flares build daily.

Multipliers are applied once, at season end, and you need at least 100 USX of eligible TVL for any of them. A returning wallet (one with Flares from an earlier season) gets a loyalty multiplier. It depends on how your current TVL compares with your Season 3 TWA baseline, which is the time-weighted average of your eligible TVL during Season 3. The dashboard shows it as TWA TVL.

Miss a grace period and the downgrade is permanent, because tiers never go back up. New wallets get a one-off 1.2x instead, once they have 100 USX matured, and the two don’t stack. On Season 2’s 6-month plan you face two separate tests: your Season 3 baseline for the loyalty tier and your Season 2 baseline for vesting. Stay above both.

Earlier seasons converted proportionally: your Flares ÷ all Flares × the season’s SLX allocation. Season 3 converts “under the Season 3 campaign terms”, and those haven’t been published. On 10 Oct the dashboard counted 68,176,603,242 campaign Flares, and the Season 3 allocation still read “-“. Nobody can put a dollar value on a Flare yet.

Solstice Flares routes: points vs real yield

Of the LP routes, Exponent’s USX LP earns the most Flares at 20x, plus the pool’s yield. Plain USX earns 10x with no yield, stable pairs on Orca and Raydium earn 9x to 10x per side plus fees, and lending earns 5x plus interest.

• Hold USX for 10x. It’s the simplest route and needs no other app, but it pays zero yield.
• Orca or Raydium USX/USDC pays 9x per side, and Orca USX/USDG pays 10x per side. “Per side” means both tokens you supply earn the multiplier. USX/USDG needs a second swap into USDG, so USX/USDC is simpler if you hold USDC. You earn swap fees, and impermanent loss stays small while USX holds its peg. Here’s how these stable pools work.
• Exponent’s USX LP pays 20x plus a yield that moves daily (about 4.62% on 5 Oct), so check it live.
• Exponent PT-USX earns 0 Flares but paid a fixed 5.95% through 1 Dec on 5 Oct. A PT is the fixed-yield token: hold it to maturity and you get the rate you bought at. A YT is the yield token. It earns the 30x Farm USX Yield multiplier, but its Flares TVL drops to $0 at maturity, and the 16 Sep USX market already has. Our Exponent airdrop guide explains PT, YT and LP properly.
• Kamino’s USDG/USX vault pays 10x plus vault yield. Kamino ran its own airdrop too, and our Kamino guide covers the KMNO side. Lending USX on Kamino or Loopscale pays 5x plus interest, and Loopscale runs its own points on top. New to lending? Start with how lending works on Solana.

If I could farm this, I’d go for the 20x LP. It pays double the Flares per dollar of the Orca pairs and you still earn the pool’s yield. Compare its live APY with the PT first. If the gap is only a point or two, I’d take the Flares.

There are hold quests too: 6x for holding USX for 1 month and 15x for 3 months. A 3-month quest started now can’t finish before 1 Dec, and a 1-month quest has to start by about 1 Nov. Meteora pools aren’t on the list.

My take as an LP: a stable pair is a different game from the volatile DLMM pools I run. USX/USDC won’t print like a memecoin pool. The fees are thin and you’re really there for the multiplier. The risk you’re paid for is a depeg. When USX slid on DEXs in December 2025, LPs in those pairs had their USDC swapped into discounted USX. Price fell out the bottom of the range, and there was no volatility printing fees to soften it.

Is Solstice Season 3 worth farming?

I think it mainly suits two groups: returning wallets protecting a 1.4x, and people who’d park stables in a pool or lending position anyway. For fresh money chasing a big drop, it looks thin to me:

• The Season 3 allocation hasn’t been announced, so you’re farming an unknown number.
• Solstice’s own dashboard put TVL at $210.7M on 10 Oct, down 40.8% on the month, and DefiLlama counts only about $40k of protocol fees over the last 30 days. Fewer deposits can mean a bigger share of Flares, but it’s not a great sign.
• Season 1 unlocked only 5% to 25% at TGE and Season 2 vests too, so don’t expect a lump sum.

If you’re already in with a 1.4x and happy with your route’s yield, staying put protects it. If you need the money before December, skip it.

If yield matters more to you than points, compare stablecoin yields on Solana by risk tier. Other stablecoin points farms worth a look are Perena’s Petals, Hylo’s XP programme and OnRe’s ONyc points. The airdrops hub lists what else is live.

What can go wrong with USX and Flares

• Your exit is DEX liquidity. USX traded below $1 on Solana DEXs on 26 Dec 2025 when liquidity thinned. Solstice added liquidity and said reserves stayed overcollateralised, but retail holders couldn’t redeem at $1 then, and they still can’t.
• Yield follows funding rates. When funding drops, eUSX yield drops with it. Ethena runs the same model on Ethereum, and its points seasons give you a preview of where this kind of programme ends up.
• Products can close mid-season. strcUSX stopped earning less than two months into Season 3.
• Flares have no cash value, and Solstice can change the campaign mechanics at any time.
• YTs drop to $0 TVL at maturity, and the YT itself can lose most of its value.
• Smart contract risk stacks up. One route can run through Solstice plus Exponent, Kamino, Loopscale, Orca or Raydium.

Fake Season 3 claim sites and support DMs

There is no Season 3 claim yet. It opens after 1 Dec, and the details haven’t been published. flares-solstice.finance turns up in search results, and it is not an official Solstice domain. The real ones are solstice.finance, app.solstice.finance, docs.solstice.finance and claim.solstice.finance, which is the Claims Portal the app links to. The official socials are @solsticefi on X and Solstice_TG on Telegram.

Solstice closed its Discord, and support now runs through the chat in the app, so any “Solstice support” DM is a scam. Here’s how to spot fake claims before one gets you.

FAQ

When is the Solstice Season 3 airdrop date?

Season 3 Flares stop counting on 1 Dec 2026. The claim opens after that, and no date has been set.

Do I need to register for the Solstice airdrop?

Not for Season 3. Connect a wallet, accept the terms and hold eligible assets. Season 1 did need registration, which is why unregistered wallets lost their SLX.

Is there a Solstice airdrop or Flares calculator?

There’s no reliable one. Earlier seasons paid out your Flares ÷ all Flares × the season’s SLX. Season 3’s allocation hasn’t been announced, so any dollar figure is a guess.

Is there a Solstice referral code?

We don’t have one. The box is optional, so leave it blank rather than pasting codes from random threads.
