Playing with Cookie Snaps: A Hardcore Interactive Guide to Three Popular Projects

One fish, four meals: Obtain Snaps while completing Spark lending Mining × Newton smart entity × Union cross-chain interoperability.

Written by: Stacy Muur

Compiled by: Tim, PANews

This is a hardcore practical guide on efficiently obtaining airdrops for Spark, Newton, and Union, which share the following common characteristics:

• TGE Pre-Stage
• In hot trends
• Supported by capital and narrative
• Early contributors can participate

Spark: On-Chain Capital Allocation and Yield Protocol

Spark is a decentralized lending and savings protocol spun off from MakerDAO.

Currently, Spark has become an important part of the Sky ecosystem, focusing on capital allocation for DeFi and RWA protocols. With over $2.6 billion in TVL and real cash flow from stablecoin yields, Spark is considered one of the few early projects that achieved product-market fit at the time of TGE.

Spark Airdrop Guide: SNAPS Event

Platform: cookie.fun/tokens/spark

How SNAPS Works

SNAPS is a contribution-based points system where users can earn points by contributing to the development of Spark through content creation, narrative support, and community participation. These points will be tracked and ranked on the Cookie.fun platform.

Mining Guide:

1. Register a Cookie.fun account

Link your X account and start earning SNAPS by posting content that aligns with the Spark theme.

2. Write Spark content

Content format creativity: theme posts, Twitter Spaces, commentary videos, or educational Medium articles.

Please ensure that your post covers the core themes of Spark: on-chain lending, real-world assets, capital efficiency, and the operational mechanism of sDAI.

3. Maintain consistency in the narrative

Posts that support core value propositions perform better in SNAPS rankings. Please be sure to reflect the following ideas:

• DeFi Native Savings Layer
• Tokenization of RWA reserves
• MakerDAO realizes its vision of scaling through SubDAO

4. Interaction and Communication

Interaction helps improve your SNAPS score. Don't just post—reply, quote, and participate in discussions on relevant topics.

5. Post Polishing

Add relevant tags and visual materials, following the Spark brand guidelines (avoid using the term Maker), to prevent information overload, prioritizing content quality.

6. Impact Rankings

When the number of SNAPS reaches more than 10, the invitation code can be unlocked, and a "core team" made up of contributors can be formed. This is a referral mechanism, and you will receive a 10% reward from the SNAPS generated by invited users.

7. Optional: Submit a long article or event idea

Some contributors are trying out hackathon programs, organizing guides, and promoting cross-content activities.

Please note:

• Rewards typically emphasize originality, depth of contribution, and authenticity; please avoid inefficient spamming.
• SNAPS seems to be updated weekly. You need to conduct a yield assessment and adjust your strategy in a timely manner.

Newton: AI Agent Economic Infrastructure Layer

Newton is building a backend system for an AI-native economy, with a core agent capable of autonomous trading, executing logic, and achieving cross-Chain interoperability across DeFi platforms. The project has secured over $85 million in funding from top venture capital firms, becoming one of the highest-funded star projects in the agent field that has yet to issue tokens.

Newton has been launched:

• Normal operating front-end interface
• "Buy Agent" feature demonstration
• User Dashboard Integrated with Airdrop Data

Newton Airdrop Guide: Credit Score System

1. Create a profile on newton.xyz/app

Connect your EVM wallet and set a nickname

2. Activate Buy Agent feature

Carefully experience the entire operation process and allow your agent to conduct test transactions (some transactions may require a small Gas fee).

Can be done or not: Try deeper functionalities (such as multi-agent, agent types, cross-task triggering mechanisms, etc.).

3. Complete weekly tasks

The reward zone will regularly rotate various tasks: using the application, sharing social feedback, and submitting referral information.

4. Check your credit score

You can earn points by participating in activities and completing tasks, and these points will accumulate on your dashboard.

5. Connect your social accounts

If you have verified your X account or joined Newton's Discord, completing certain tasks can earn you higher weight.

6. Retain Points

Although you can "withdraw" points, the design of the airdrop mechanism may be more inclined to keep your points on the platform as a signal of user loyalty.

7. Stay active every week

Tasks and reward levels will refresh frequently. Remember to set reminders to check back every few days.

Please note:

There are signs that on-chain interactions will be more valued than off-chain interactions.

If you refer friends, you may receive rewards from their active behavior, which also serves as an extra incentive to build a small team.

Union: General Interoperability Protocol

Union is tackling one of the most challenging problems in the cryptocurrency space: achieving seamless interoperability across EVM, Cosmos, Solana, and other blockchains. The project has received $16 million in funding and launched a brand new upgraded V2.5 user interface. Currently, Union is quietly laying the groundwork for one of the largest airdrop events in the cryptocurrency industry in 2025.

Union Airdrop Guide: Get XP through the Union app

Platform: app.union.build

1. Connect your wallet

• Use MetaMask (EVM) and Keplr or Leap (Cosmos)
• Connect X account

2. Claim testnet tokens

Claim from the faucet website: app.union.build/faucet, completing tasks requires tokens.

3. Complete XP Tasks

Tasks include cross-chain, exchange, connecting wallets, verifying accounts, or linking Telegram/Discord.

4. Try out the mainnet

The mainnet now supports some real-time transactions. If you can accept the Gas fee, interacting on the mainnet may increase your eligibility for airdrops.

5. View XP Leaderboard

Your total XP value is visible within the app. There is currently no public leaderboard, but tracking personal progress is key.

6. Join Discord

The community level of Union is sometimes included in the evaluation of the testnet. Active members please claim your exclusive identity in a timely manner.

Please note:

• The Union is likely to favor players who steadily accumulate XP rather than sprint-type players.
• User experience has improved, but you may still encounter synchronization errors. If the wallet does not display immediately, just refresh or reconnect.

Summary

Airdrop mining in 2025 is no longer just about randomly creating wallets and hoping for luck, but rather focuses more on:

• Social media metrics, such as mind share
• Activities before TGE
• Contribute real value in key areas (X platform, testnet, mainnet activities, community participation)

Spark, Newton, and Union are highly active and well-funded projects that have not yet issued tokens, focusing on three core areas: DeFi infrastructure, AI agents, and cross-chain liquidity.
