ANT.FUN ANB Airdrop via @KB17Z1 – Full Review & Guide

What is ANT.FUN?

ANT.FUN is a next-generation DEX trading platform on Solana that combines real-time chain analytics, integrations with major Solana DEXs, and social trading features like wallet-tracking channels and watchlists. Traders can route meme coins and perps through one interface while monitoring on-chain activity of wallets they care about. The product suite also includes a mobile wallet and tooling aimed at “trade fast, own true” execution.

Security-wise, ANT.FUN emphasizes client-side encrypted wallet management and states that private keys are not uploaded to its servers. On the business side, the platform has obtained a Canadian Money Services Business (MSB) registration and several U.S. approvals, signalling a more compliance-heavy route than many DEX projects.

The project is led by founder and CEO Shaun, who has appeared at industry events discussing “financial super apps” and the role of stablecoins in Web3 trading and wealth management.

Our Experience Joining ANT.FUN

The AirdropBuzz team ran through the @KB17Z1 flow using a fresh Solana wallet. Hitting https://ant.fun/@KB17Z1 (or the QR code) routed us into the ANT.FUN interface with the referral pre-filled. Account creation was standard web-app stuff: email or social login, then a short profile setup.

Connecting a wallet felt familiar to anyone who has used Solana dApps. You choose Phantom / Solflare / Backpack (or similar), approve the connection, and the trading terminal lights up with real-time token feeds, order widgets, and tabs for Trading, Channels, Watchlist, and Analytics. Channels let you subscribe to curated sets of wallets (up to hundreds of addresses per channel), turning the app into a kind of “signal board” for on-chain moves.

For context, we also looked at earlier ANB distributions. One example was a “bear market warmth” airdrop where ANT.FUN sent ANB to 10,000 addresses that had been active on a partner platform, with distribution happening automatically and no claim transaction required. That history makes the team’s incentive programs feel more real and less like vaporware promises.

 

Time vs Reward: Is ANB Worth Your Time?

The current ANB campaign window is mid-January 2026, with public details showing a pool of 10,000 ANB and a planned 200 winners. At the time of writing, ANB trades around two cents, putting the total pool near a few hundred dollars and the average winner allocation at roughly 50 ANB (about a dollar each) if everything were split evenly. Of course, token prices move and winners may not receive equal shares, so treat these as rough ballparks, not promises.

From a pure farming EV viewpoint, that’s… not huge. The upside is that the entry cost is almost entirely your time: a few social tasks plus submitting your wallet. If you’re already interested in ANT.FUN as a Solana trading stack, the airdrop becomes a small bonus on top of using a feature-rich DEX, potential future trader campaigns, and points-style rewards. If you’re only here to chase a single lottery-style drop, there are probably better hunts unless you just like sampling new tooling.

Our verdict: do it if you want to test ANT.FUN anyway or you’re stacking many small airdrops. Skip it as a standalone “make it” play.

Risks & Things to Watch

Even with a non-custodial design and regulatory licenses, this is still DeFi. Smart-contract bugs, front-end exploits, and configuration mistakes can all hurt. Keep your seed phrase offline, use a dedicated wallet for degen activity, and never approve transactions you don’t understand. Double-check that you’re on the genuine ant.fun domain before connecting anything.

On the token side, ANB is a relatively young asset with a modest market cap and typical post-airdrop volatility. Large unlocks, marketing cycles, or market-wide drawdowns can crush prices. Only treat airdrop rewards as bonus chips, not core capital, and be mindful of local tax rules around airdropped tokens.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Join ANT.FUN via @KB17Z1

1. Set up a Solana wallet

   Install a Solana wallet such as Phantom, Backpack, or Solflare on your browser or phone. Create a new wallet, back up the seed phrase securely (offline), and optionally fund it with a small amount of SOL to cover any future trades or interactions.

2. Open the @KB17Z1 invite link

   In your browser or in-app webview, go to https://ant.fun/@KB17Z1. This ensures your account is tagged to that referral and usually highlights the associated channel. If you have a QR image, scanning it should land you on the same route.

3. Create your ANT.FUN account

   Click Sign Up or Get Started. Register with email or a supported social login, set a strong password, and enable any extra security (such as 2FA) that the app offers. This account controls your app settings and reward tracking; your funds stay in your wallet.

4. Connect your Solana wallet

   Choose Connect Wallet from the interface and pick your wallet provider. Approve the connection in the wallet popup. ANT.FUN’s architecture is designed around client-side encrypted wallet management, meaning private keys stay on your device rather than their servers, but you should still read each signature prompt carefully.

5. Subscribe to the @KB17Z1 channel

   Navigate to the Channels section. You should see a channel linked to the @KB17Z1 referral, featuring tracked wallets and signal feeds. Hit Subscribe so you start receiving updates when those wallets trade. Channels on ANT.FUN can monitor up to dozens or even hundreds of addresses each, which is handy if you like following whales or specific strategies.

6. Locate the current ANB airdrop campaign

   From the navigation, open the Rewards or Airdrop section. Look for the live ANB airdrop card that lists the campaign period, token pool, and winner count. There will typically be a button like Join Airdrop or Start Tasks. Click it to load the task list and entry form.

7. Complete the social tasks

   For this campaign, tasks are straightforward: follow the official ANT.FUN X (Twitter) account, join the Telegram community, and repost the airdrop announcement post from your own X account. Only users who finish all required actions during the event window are counted as valid entries. Use real, active social accounts; empty or botted profiles are at higher risk of being filtered.

8. Submit your details

   Fill in the airdrop form with your Solana wallet address and the requested social usernames/links. Triple-check the wallet address; if it’s wrong, you probably won’t be able to recover any rewards later. Submit and take a quick screenshot for your own tracking.

9. Optional: try small trades on ANT.FUN

   If you actually want to use the platform, place a tiny trade via one of the integrated DEXs (PumpFun, Raydium, Orca, etc.) and explore analytics, channels, and watchlists. This doesn’t necessarily boost odds in this specific social airdrop, but trader-focused rewards and ecosystem programs are likely to matter more over time than one small one-off drop.

10. Monitor announcements and your wallet

    Follow ANT.FUN’s official X and Telegram for winner announcements and distribution info. When the campaign ends, check your wallet and a Solana explorer for any incoming ANB transactions. Always verify that the token contract matches the official one before swapping or adding liquidity.

Nothing here is financial advice. Airdrops are speculative, tokens are volatile, and you should only interact with platforms and contracts you personally understand and trust.
