About the project

What Surf is

Surf is an AI assistant and research platform built for the cryptocurrency market. It combines on-chain data, technical indicators, social sentiment, and web sources to give traders and analysts real-time market intelligence. The platform works on web and mobile, with modes for quick questions and deep research.

The project closed a $15M funding round backed by Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and Digital Currency Group. Surf is designed for retail traders, analysts, institutions, and crypto teams who need faster, more informed decisions.

How the airdrop works

The project offers a potential airdrop for people who use the platform. You can interact with the AI for free, register an email, and connect your X account. The platform also announced 6,666 Surf NFTs that launched on Robinhood, and you can check if you are eligible.

Beyond the basic airdrop, Surf has a Researcher program where you can apply to create content and earn rewards through a referral system. You earn $25 USDC for each paid subscription conversion with your code. Role progression goes from Wave Rider to Tide Surfer to Ocean Legend.

Community and roles

The project uses a Discord role system to reward engagement. Subscriber roles unlock ecosystem rewards and early access to features. Contributor roles range from Wave Rider for active members to Ocean Legend for top contributors, each with perks like private channels, free credits, or ecosystem rewards.

You can also claim a card from the website to further interact with the project and show your participation.

What it takes

The basic participation is free. You need an email to register on the website and can use the AI without paying. The estimated time is about 46 minutes to complete the core tasks.

Optional paid membership tiers are available for early access and more features. The Researcher program requires applying through a form, but there is no cost to join Discord or earn contributor roles through community engagement.
