Ansem, one of the most recognized voices in the Solana ecosystem, has airdropped roughly $7 million worth of the $ANSEM memecoin to Solana users. The distribution campaign, which unfolded between June 27 and June 29, represents one of the largest influencer-driven token giveaways in recent memory.

The goal is ambitious: grow the $ANSEM holder base from approximately 25,000 wallets to 1 million.

Inside the airdrop mechanics

Ansem, who posts under the handle @blknoiz06, controls an estimated 604 million $ANSEM tokens. That’s somewhere between 60% and 66% of the total supply, worth anywhere from $30 million to $71 million depending on which price snapshot you use.

The distribution methods varied across rounds. Some recipients received as little as $23 in tokens, while larger community-focused rounds engaged participants through social actions like following accounts or leaving comments.
