Airdrop

An Airdrop is a distribution of free tokens to a community, typically used as a marketing tool or a reward for early protocol adopters and testers. In 2026, the "points-to-airdrop" model has matured into merit-based incentive programs that utilize Sybil-resistance and Proof-of-Humanity to filter out bots. Airdrops remain a primary method for decentralized governance (DAO) bootstrapping. Follow this tag for the latest on retroactive rewards, eligibility criteria, and how to participate in the most anticipated token distributions in the ecosystem.

Critical SHIB Alert Issued as Real Shiba Inu Token Scam Targets Wallets

The post Critical SHIB Alert Issued as Real Shiba Inu Token Scam Targets Wallets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crucial alert has been passed to the Shiba Inu community by Susbarium Shibarium Trustwatch, a Shiba Inu-focused X account dedicated to exposing scams and protecting the SHIB community. Susbarium alerts the Shiba Inu community to an ongoing phishing scam using a real Shiba Inu token. It noted that a real SHIB token has been airdropped to wallets, but scammers are attaching a deceptive message urging users to visit a fake website to claim rewards. 🚨 SHIBARMY ALERT – PHISHING SCAM USING REAL TOKEN 🚨 A real SHIB token has been airdropped to wallets, but scammers are attaching a deceptive message urging users to “visit http://shibafarmance .org to claim rewards.” ⚠️ This is a phishing scam.

After Missing Bitcoin at $10000, Ethereum at $100, and Solana price at $10—Don’t Miss Avalon X at $0.005 With Grupo Avalon’s $1B Backing

After Missing Bitcoin at $10000, Ethereum at $100, and Solana price at $10—Don’t Miss Avalon X at $0.005 With Grupo Avalon’s $1B Backing

The post After Missing Bitcoin at $10000, Ethereum at $100, and Solana price at $10—Don’t Miss Avalon X at $0.005 With Grupo Avalon’s $1B Backing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News There will only be the crypto market that rewards early recognition of innovative projects for not taking notice of good projects. The crypto market is always abuzz with new, innovative projects setting up high expectations but rarely delivering on them. Seldom are there projects that deliver first and promise later. Bitcoin was first. Ethereum and Solana came next. The majority of the investors failed to realize these cryptocurrencies’ potential, but those that did are the new crypto billionaires today. The market has given the investors another opportunity with this emerging project, Avalon X (AVLX). The real estate tokenization crypto is backed by the coveted Grupo Avalon, a real estate developer. But the highlight of the project is the Avalon X giveaway, currently live in its presale. The project has the potential to make it to the best altcoins in 2025 list. More on the project, but first how the market gave some of the biggest hits in the last decade. How Did Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana Become Market Leaders? There’s no arguing the fact that Bitcoin remains the giant of a cryptocurrency, with its strong institutional backing, brilliant growth trajectory, and great returns. It remains probably the only cryptocurrency to never have been hacked, and a market dominance of over 50%. Source Ethereum is the OG of all things decentralized. It is the hub of most of the DeFi apps, and institutions interested in setting up their own funds are choosing Ethereum as their base. After its Pectra upgrade, the notorious high fees have also been reduced by 90%. Solana isn’t falling behind with its integrations, partnerships, and development efforts. It has the largest community of users, a thriving ecosystem, and the cheapest fees. It recently underwent the Firedancer upgrade, which makes it more efficient. EH, BTC, and…

How to make $1000+ from $0 capital with Crypto Testnets (2025 Guide)

How to make $1000+ from $0 capital with Crypto Testnets (2025 Guide)

From just 30 minutes day you can make $1000+ for free by interacting with projects. It sounds scammy but it’s not. This blog will teach you all you need to know about testnets, and how you can make this as a side hustle. This is a way to make money from crypto and earn crypto from projects early on. What are testnets and why do they exist? Essentially Testnets are like the “sandbox” version of a blockchain. A place where developers test their network before lauching it live onto the Mainnet. There’s numerous reasons they would do this such as to stress-test their systems. They reward tokens to early testers and developers through airdrops. These rewards are no joke either. You may have heard of Arbitrum for example. They started out as a testnet and early users saw rewards as high as $10,000. All they had to do was interact with the testnet a few minutes a day at most. They reward users because they want to give users incentives to test their project and also for brand and engagement. How to earn from testnets (step-by-step breakdown) Step 1: You will need a wallet. We recommend a self-custodian wallet like MetaMask or Phantom wallet. These are the key ones as of date, however always do your own research (DYOR). It’s also imporant to use a new address. You will be interacting with early projects with barely any reviews so it’s always best to stay safe. Always be vary of links and avoid scams. Make sure you’re interacting with official sources. Step 2: Find legit testnets to interact with. This is the hardest part. You will need to find projects with good funding and promising projects. You can use aggregators like Galxe, Kaito, wallchain quacks to find early testnets. (We have our own X account where we post updates on testnets, protocol projects and alphas) We are currently grinding on Monad and Pharos. Step 3: Interact with the protocol. Examples include: swap tokens, stake toens, mint NFTs, add liquidity. These use free faucet tokens. Step 4: Stay consistent and track progress: Most people don’t get rewards as airdrops require consistency and loyalty. It’s also not certain you will get any rewards so that instantly puts many people off, however that’s also why rewards are so high. You may have to interact daily/weekly for months on end. I also recommend using Notion or a simple excel template to track tasks and follow their socials to be aware of any updates. Step 5: Wait for mainnet launch and claim rewards: Projects have a criteria on who is eligible for awards, they typically award users who have been using their testnet for a considerate amount of time and have completed a solid amount of transactions. They also do an eligibility check on their website where users can see if they been eligible for an air drop. Be patient and stay consistent. How to spot legit vs Scam projects Always check project’s official socials and documentation. Avoid connecting wallets to shady websites. Never pay to “join” a testnet. Check community size and engagement. Pro-tips to maximise rewards You can use multiple wallets. However it’s recommended not to as for testnets, the quality of your interactions matter more than the quantity. Furthermore, if you have multiple wallets, interacting in a similar fashion, this can be marked as sybil and you will not be eligible for rewards. Be active in communities. Some airdrops track Discord/X engagement and has start to become a popular criteria. Keep faucet tokens handy. Always claim. Record your actions. Conclusion This isn’t about luck. It’s about showing up everyday and being consistent. It’s about being early and staying curious. Put in the effort because testnets are the new gold rush. You’re not gambling and you’re not risking any capital. You’re earning experience.

After entering the mainstream narrative, how will Perp DEX develop in the future?

After entering the mainstream narrative, how will Perp DEX develop in the future?

Let’s talk about some insights into the future evolution of perp dex: 1) The “numbers game” of inflating trading volume in exchange for airdrop expectations is unsustainable. If a large number of users wash trade in anticipation of an airdrop instead of actually using the product, if professional arbitrageurs deprive most of the incentive budget at low cost, and if the project side condones or even encourages these behaviors in order to make the data look good. If this continues, the entire points system will become an expectation game without any real value creation, and the bubble will eventually burst. 2) The low-fee war between platforms results in users “hiddenly paying the bill”. Internal competition among platforms will compress the "revenue model" to the extreme, but what is the balance point for value capture that maintains zero transaction fees? If the seemingly "zero transaction fees" actually result in losses in liquidation penalties, funding rates, and other areas that users cannot see or care about, this strategy will be unsustainable in the long run. Either sell PFOF to market makers like Robinhood, or become a broker that provides value-added services. These are all things that require long-term product iteration to achieve; 3) The perp dex boom led by CLOB is just an on-site carnival. Perp dex isn't a new phenomenon, but the current trillion-dollar boom is largely driven by the volume generated by crypto-native assets like BTC and ETH. As TrdfFi assets migrate on-chain, such as truly in-demand stocks, foreign exchange, and commodities, the CLOB full-chain order book model may no longer be effective. Instead, an oracle or RFQ model will be more efficient. The question is, should we plan ahead and embrace traditional incremental assets, or spend $100,000 to purchase the CLOB Dex code and engage in an incentive war? It will become clear who is truly creating value. 4) The high valuations supported by the black box execution layer cannot be effectively verified. While some perp dex platforms tout their differentiation, massive amounts of transaction data and hidden black-box technology cannot truly price in high valuations. If users don't even know how orders are processed, where liquidity comes from, or how prices are formed, and if the so-called "best execution" actually eats into users' MEV and profits from information asymmetry, this is not a true technological moat. Using ZK proof to prove the logic is correct, but real-time order tracking, order data indicators, and whether the technical means can withstand the test of the market are key; 5) Perp dex as a Service will dilute the overall value of the entire track. If everyone does CLOB, supports similar trading pairs, has maker/taker fees, and has a points system, and if the only difference is a better-looking UI, higher airdrop expectations, and more aggressive KOL shilling, the overall value of the entire Perp DEX track will be severely diluted in the long run. Should we continue to focus on the "one-click chain launch" strategy, or should we truly address user pain points and establish differentiation? The former will only plunge the entire sector into a death spiral, while the latter will likely produce truly valuable projects.

Virtuals launches Unicorn startup model, which will gradually replace the Genesis points system

Virtuals launches Unicorn startup model, which will gradually replace the Genesis points system

PANews reported on October 7th that Virtuals announced the launch of a new startup model, Unicorn. Compared to the previous Genesis model, Unicorn no longer solely pursues fairness, but instead emphasizes early conviction and long-term value. Each Unicorn project starts with a low valuation, allowing early participants to receive asymmetric returns. The founding team only receives funding when the project actually grows, ensuring responsibility and long-term development. The launch process includes a creation phase, an early trading phase, and a transparent team allocation mechanism. It also features anti-scaling mechanisms and ecosystem airdrops to reward VIRTUAL token holders and active community members. The Unicorn model will gradually replace the Genesis points system, shifting rewards from points to VIRTUAL staking and ecosystem activity. Each Unicorn Launch will allocate 5% of the total supply to genuine community members, 2% to VIRTUAL stakers, and 3% to active Virtuals ecosystem participants. Airdrops will be distributed weekly, with snapshots documenting VIRTUAL staking and Virtuals ecosystem activity.
