Potential airdrop · Solana
Rome airdrop: potential, not confirmed
No Rome airdrop is running or announced on the homepage, docs index or academy page, read on 2 November 2026. The only signal is Hadrian, the public testnet, where the academy has developers put a contract on the network and check it in the explorer; no reward is attached to it there. Using Rome today means setting up MetaMask or a Solana wallet, getting test USDC for gas, and deploying a contract to Hadrian or trying the live apps.
Potential airdrop: nothing to join yet · checked 2 November 2026
Rome's site and docs, read on 2 November 2026, show working apps, the Hadrian public testnet and the Rubicon mainnet, but no airdrop to join. The public testnet is the only signal, and no reward is attached to it.
A potential airdrop is not a campaign: Rome may never hold one, and using it may earn you nothing.
There is no Rome airdrop to join on 2 November 2026; Rome offers a Hadrian public testnet and EVM apps on Solana, with no reward announced.
What is Rome?
Rome is a protocol that lets Ethereum-style contracts and Solana wallets work against the same on-chain state, and lets those contracts invoke Solana programs within a single transaction.
Developers work with standard tools: Hardhat, Foundry and MetaMask. The docs name two main networks, Hadrian, the public testnet, and Rubicon, the mainnet, where fees are paid in USDC. A separate chain called Ostia settles on Canton DevNet instead of Solana.
The homepage marks several apps as live, among them Compound v3, Aave v3, Portus, Cardo, Solgate, Rome Bridge and Rome DEX. It also describes a route for a team to launch a Rome chain of its own, with its own token as gas.
How Rome works
Rome executes EVM contracts on chains of its own and settles them on Solana. The homepage says every Rome chain is made of Solana transactions, and that a Solidity contract can reach Solana programs, including SPL tokens, inside one atomic Solana transaction.
For a developer, the path is to deploy with Hardhat or Foundry, sign with MetaMask, and pay gas in test USDC on Hadrian. The academy adds that Solana wallet holders can use the same contract without an Ethereum-style key. Rubicon, the mainnet, charges its fees in USDC.
The homepage, docs index and academy page describe no points program or quests, so Hadrian has no reward listed there. The docs index names tROME as the test coin of Ostia DevNet. A team that launches its own Rome chain uses its own token for gas and, the homepage says, keeps 100% of it.
Why Rome is a potential airdrop
Rome's academy lists Hadrian as the public testnet, and its first lessons have you put a contract on it and look it up in the block explorer. The homepage, docs index and academy page describe no points program, quests or claim, so Rome has no airdrop campaign to join today.
Public testnet
Rome's academy lists Hadrian as the public testnet and has its first lessons put a contract on it and look it up in the explorer, with no reward mentioned alongside.

How to start using Rome
These steps are for using Rome itself. There is no airdrop to take part in, so nothing here qualifies you for one.
Stay safe: a real airdrop never asks for your seed phrase or private key. Use only the official links on this page, and treat any message that offers help with a claim as a scam.
Step 1: Read what Rome is
Start with the What is Rome? page in the docs, which explains how EVM execution works on Solana.
Step 2: Look at the live apps
Open the live apps list to see what runs on Rome today, such as lending and bridging apps.
Step 3: Set up a wallet and test USDC
Open the Networks page for the Hadrian network details and wallet setup, then get test USDC for gas from the faucets list.
Step 4: Deploy a first contract
The Quickstart walks through deploying a first contract, and the Deploy Solidity page holds the Hardhat and Foundry guides.
Step 5: Find it on the explorer
Lesson 3 of the Rome Academy walks through funding a wallet, deploying a contract and locating it on the explorer.
Rome airdrop FAQ
Is there a Rome airdrop?
- No. The homepage, docs index and academy page, read on 2 November 2026, describe no airdrop, points program or claim. The signal is Hadrian, the public testnet, where the academy has developers put a contract on the network and look it up in the explorer; no reward is listed for using it. Today Rome offers tools and apps to build with and try.
Does Rome have a token?
- Rome's docs index names one coin, tROME, but only as the test coin of Ostia DevNet. The academy says gas on Hadrian is paid in test USDC. Neither the docs index nor the academy gives a token for Rome itself, a ticker or a launch date.
What does Rome cost to use?
- Trying Hadrian needs only a little test USDC, which pays gas, and the academy shows how to get it. Rubicon, the mainnet, charges fees in USDC, and the academy puts the first real spending at lesson 11.
Which chain does Rome run on?
- Rome's main networks settle on Solana: Hadrian is the public testnet and Rubicon is the mainnet. Every Rome chain is made of Solana transactions, according to the homepage. Ostia is a separate Rome chain that settles on Canton, in DevNet.
