Gradient Network — the Solana-based DePIN project — has been the talk of the town in 2025 due to its performance-driven airdrop model and robust ecosystem growth. Season 1 is now nearing its end in July 2025 and the last thing that everyone is waiting for is the token listing date which is now in the limelight.
Airdrop Season 1 Wrap-Up: Final Weeks to Earn
Season 1 of the Gradient airdrop which started in April 2025 has been a huge success and has been able to attract thousands of participants from all over the world. Gradient rewards users for real-life activities and this is completely different from traditional social-based airdrops.
- Sentry-Node Uptime: Users earn points by running a Chrome extension node that shares unused bandwidth. Approximately 0.15 points are awarded for every 10 minutes of uptime.
- Referral Program: Participants earn bonus points for inviting others and receive a percentage of their referrals’ earnings.
- Social & Seasonal Tasks: Tasks like connecting X (Twitter), joining Discord, and completing engagement quests contribute additional points.
Edge Host Pilot: On the other hand, this more extended infrastructure program provides users with higher-level reward potentials and deeper participation in the backend experiments if they have data center capability.
With the season expected to end later this month, users are actively maximizing their point accumulation before the system snapshot is finalized.
The Gradient Token is expected to go live anytime now.
The Gradient team has not yet announced the date for listing as of July 2025. However, several sources from the community and some early backers have hinted that it could be around Q3 2025 possibly between August and September.
Originally planned to happen in March 2025, the listing has undergone delays due to platform scaling, legal structuring, and timing of the overall market: It is now time for the Token Generation Event (TGE) because Season 0 and Season 1 have been completed. It has also made the community most engaged.
All participants can expect:
- A public announcement of the final point-to-token conversion ratio
- Snapshot dates and eligibility windows
- Full details of supporting centralized or decentralized exchanges
What to do for Participants?
Five things should occupy the time of Gradient users now that the airdrop window is about to close:

Secure Wallets for Claiming

Expected Impact of the Listing
Gradient’s listing is anticipated to drive strong early momentum due to its:
- Loyal User Base: Thousands of global participants who contributed compute power will likely trade, stake, or hold the token.
- Real Utility: As a DePIN project, the token may have built-in utility for bandwidth contribution, governance, and service access.
- VC Backing: With support from major investors like Multicoin, Pantera, and Sequoia, the listing could gain fast credibility.
Volatility is expected in the initial 48–72 hours post-listing, with strong speculation around Gradient’s early market cap and liquidity strength.
Final Thoughts
With Season 1 nearing its end and the listing window likely just weeks away, Gradient Network is heading into a pivotal phase. Its performance-based reward structure, DePIN alignment, and massive community momentum position it as one of 2025’s most promising decentralized infrastructure plays.
