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.

3 Coins to Buy as Cardano Founder Hints at XRP Partnership After Midnight Airdrop

3 Coins to Buy as Cardano Founder Hints at XRP Partnership After Midnight Airdrop

The post 3 Coins to Buy as Cardano Founder Hints at XRP Partnership After Midnight Airdrop appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Cryptocurrency lives off speculation, and recent XRP partnership developments that Cardano founder teased out after the Midnight airdrop have sparked a resurgence in investor interest in alternative assets. Among the projects that can be considered beneficiaries of this new interest in the market, one can note Little Pepe (LILPEPE), Tron (TRX), and Toncoin (TON). Both have different value propositions, but initial indicators show that one recent entry may live in the memory of meme investors and blockchain enthusiasts. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The Meme Layer 2 Evolution Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is positioning itself as more than just another meme coin. Currently in Stage 12 of its presale at $0.0021, the project has already raised $23.5 million of a $25.47 million target, selling over 14.8 billion tokens. With a planned listing price of $0.003, analysts suggest that early backers could benefit from strong presale momentum. Little Pepe is, in its essence, a next-generation Layer 2 blockchain specialized in memes. In contrast to conventional meme coins, whose growth relies on the sentiment of the community, LILPEPE combines meme culture with high-performance capabilities, delivering ultra-low transaction and finality fees, high speed, and excellent security through this unique combination. Its roadmap, separated as Pregnancy, Birth, and Growth, entails a community approach toward exchange listings, ecosystem growth, and eventual market awareness. The tokenomics are structured to reinforce stability and reward holders: 10% Liquidity to secure exchange trading, 26.5% Presale allocation for early believers, 30% Chain Reserves for ecosystem strength, 13.5% Staking & Rewards for community incentives, 10% Marketing, 10% DEX allocation, and 0% tax on transactions. What makes LILPEPE unique is its world’s only meme-focused Layer 2 chain, equipped with a Memes Launchpad and sniper-bot resistance to protect fair trading. Backed by anonymous experts with a proven track record of supporting top meme coins,…

What traders need to know in 2025

What traders need to know in 2025

The post What traders need to know in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Overview of tax regulations in India For the financial year 2024-2025, Indian tax law treats cryptocurrencies as virtual digital assets (VDAs) under the Income Tax Act, 1961. Section 2(47A) spells out what that means: Any code, number, token or piece of information created through cryptography counts as a VDA. The only exception is money itself — Indian rupees or any other country’s fiat currency. VDAs include cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), as well as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and similar digital tokens. While it is legal to buy, sell and hold VDAs, they are not recognized as valid payment methods.  In other words, crypto operates in a legally ambiguous space in India in 2025. It is permitted but closely monitored for taxation and anti-money laundering (AML) purposes. Several agencies in India oversee crypto transactions. The Income Tax Department enforces tax compliance, guided by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) under the Ministry of Finance, which sets tax policies.  Meanwhile, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) ensures platforms meet AML standards, while the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) shape broader regulatory policies.  These bodies work together to oversee crypto taxation in the country. The Income Tax (No. 2) Bill, 2025, received presidential assent on Aug. 22, 2025, thereby replacing the Income Tax Act, 1961. Taxable events for crypto traders in India India places crypto transactions under a specific tax framework, with a flat 30% tax on gains from transfers and a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS) applied to all transfers, whether profitable or not. A taxable event in crypto is any activity that creates a tax liability under Indian law. This includes transactions that produce income, gains or measurable benefits in fiat money. If you trade or invest, knowing what…

MEETLabs, an incubator, will launch a new blockchain gaming platform, "GamingFi": the fishing game "DeFishing" will debut, implementing a P2E dual-token system.

MEETLabs, an incubator, will launch a new blockchain gaming platform, "GamingFi": the fishing game "DeFishing" will debut, implementing a P2E dual-token system.

On September 5, the incubator MEETLabs announced that it will officially launch the new blockchain gaming platform GamingFi in Q4 2025, implementing a dual-token system and a "deflation + mining" mechanism to bring a brand new Web3 gaming experience to players around the world. GamingFi, a blockchain gaming platform, reportedly utilizes a dual-token system consisting of IDOL, the official MEET48 token used for ecosystem governance, community incentives, and platform-level benefits, and GFT (GamingFi Token), a platform-wide token that promises never to be issued. Furthermore, GamingFi has designed a transparent GFT token burn mechanism, regularly announcing blackhole addresses and simultaneously transferring GFT tokens awarded as mining rewards to a mining pool to ensure system fairness and token value. With the help of the economic model of the GamingFi platform, players can not only conduct P2E through chain games on the platform, but also conduct P2E again with the help of the platform's deflation mechanism. DeFishing, a large-scale 3D fishing game planned for launch on BNB Chain by the GamingFi platform in Q4 2025, will provide players with an immersive entertainment experience. Notably, DeFishing will pioneer the integration of Proof of Play (POP) and Proof of Staking (POS): players can earn POP rewards through in-game mining, airdrops, and event participation, as well as POS rewards by staking GFT tokens. In the future, the GamingFi platform will also release a number of blockchain game products including MonopolyChain, further expanding MEET48's layout in the Web3 entertainment industry, enhancing the value of IDOL tokens and further consolidating MEET48's community strength. On September 4th, MEET48 officially announced the completion of the destruction of 23.47 million IDOL tokens and the repurchase of 169.92 million IDOL tokens. According to market data, as of September 5th, MEET48's official IDOL token had surpassed $0.041, reaching a new all-time high and a 24-hour increase of 203.49%. About MEET48 MEET48 is the world's first AIUGC and fan economy ecosystem focused on the entertainment sector. Considered one of the largest Web3 application project teams globally, it boasts a 500-person technical and R&D team and a regional operations network spanning Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Seoul, and Dubai. MEET48's goal is to achieve mass adoption of Web3 technology through its AIUGC content ecosystem focused on trendy Gen Z entertainment content (Animation, Idol, Games, and Comics) and its graphical, intelligent Metaverse social platform.

Syndicate start distributie van 1 miljard SYND via airdrop

Syndicate start distributie van 1 miljard SYND via airdrop

Connect met Like-minded Crypto Enthusiasts! Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord   Syndicate rolt zijn eigen token verder uit. In totaal gaat het om 1 miljard SYND-tokens, waarvan iets meer dan de helft naar de community gaat. Al in augustus vond een eerste airdrop plaats van 2% van de supply. De vraag is nu welke rol SYND kan spelen in DeFi en of het bestaande governance-tokens kan uitdagen. Tokenomics en distributie Volgens de Litepaper van het project komt er een totale voorraad van 1 miljard SYND-tokens op Ethereum. Daarvan gaat 50,12% naar de community, bovenop de 2% die al via een airdrop is verdeeld. De rest wordt verdeeld onder de treasury (25,87%), investeerders (15,89%) en het team (24,99%). Team- en investeerders­tokens worden pas na een lange lock-upperiode vrijgegeven. Opvallend is dat Syndicate met een model van “emissions” werkt. Elke 30 dagen worden gedurende vier jaar nieuwe tokens uitgegeven, samen goed voor zo’n 80 miljoen extra coins. Daarmee wil het project groei en activiteit blijven stimuleren. SYND. Launching in SEPTEMBER. ↓ pic.twitter.com/faz0dQgMzL — Syndicate (@syndicateio) September 3, 2025 Functie van het SYND-token SYND wordt ingezet als gas token binnen het netwerk en speelt daarnaast een rol bij staking en incentives. Wie deelneemt aan het ecosysteem kan beloond worden in SYND. Volgens de oprichters moet dit ervoor zorgen dat waarde terugvloeit naar de community. Ook heeft het project gekozen voor een juridische structuur in Wyoming (DUNA), waardoor het als een van de eerste “decentralized nonprofit associations” in de VS opereert.

New DeFi Airdrop Opportunity Goes Live for Early Users

New DeFi Airdrop Opportunity Goes Live for Early Users

The post New DeFi Airdrop Opportunity Goes Live for Early Users appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins Yei Finance is taking a decisive step in the Sei ecosystem with the launch of Clovis (CLO), its long-awaited native token. On September 4, registration officially opened for users and liquidity providers who want eligibility for the upcoming airdrop. The registration period runs until September 30, giving participants nearly a month to secure their place. Afterward, Yei Finance will confirm token allocations before finally allowing claims. Once this process is complete, CLO will go live across the Clovis ecosystem, setting the stage for active use in DeFi products. A Bigger Role for Sei’s Leading Protocol Clovis is more than just a token drop — it represents Yei Finance’s evolution from being the largest dApp on Sei into what the team calls a “cross-chain operating system.” The project’s ambition is to create a seamless liquidity hub that integrates multiple blockchains, moving far beyond its original roots. The pre-deposit vault for CLO will reopen next week, offering another opportunity for early adopters to position themselves before wider circulation begins. For many, this marks one of the most important token launches in the Sei ecosystem to date, with potential to attract liquidity from outside chains as well. Community and Market Expectations Community anticipation is running high, as CLO is expected to become a cornerstone token within Sei’s expanding DeFi ecosystem. With more protocols looking to build on Sei, CLO could emerge as both a governance asset and a gateway to deeper liquidity. Speculation is already heating up about its market debut. While Yei Finance has not disclosed exact distribution figures, analysts note that strong participation in the pre-deposit vault could set the tone for early price action. Some observers expect CLO to mirror the launch momentum seen by tokens like SEI itself — rapid volatility followed by gradual consolidation as utility expands.…

With the fee switch activated and weekly buybacks, Resolv is more than just an Ehena imitation.

With the fee switch activated and weekly buybacks, Resolv is more than just an Ehena imitation.

Author: Castle Labs Compiled by AididiaoJP, Foresight News What is Resolv Resolv is an overcollateralized, interest-earning stablecoin protocol that mints USR and RLP. The USR stablecoin earns interest through delta-neutral strategies; RLP is a liquidity token that earns leveraged returns by assuming the risks inherent in these strategies. USR and RLP users earn income from the liquidity staking income generated by ETH liquidity staking tokens (LST) and the funding rate obtained from shorting ETH on centralized exchanges. Resolv now has its own governance token, RESOLV, which can be staked to earn rewards. The token’s airdrop was not well received by the market, and many long positions were quickly liquidated, causing the TVL to drop by more than 50% from its all-time high (ATH) within a few months. Then the Resolv team started announcing new partnerships, strategies, and protocol integrations, as well as fee switches (and token buybacks), and the price and TVL rebounded from recent lows. Resolv Buyback Program Last week, the Resolv Foundation launched a program to buy back RESOLV tokens, using revenue from the protocol on a weekly basis. But where does this revenue come from? The protocol earns 10% from interest paid to the staking pool, as well as incentives from external participants like EtherFi, thanks to their fee switch enabled in July. To date, the project has generated over $22 million in interest for its depositors, and since the fee switch went live, the protocol has accumulated $226,000 in fees, 75% of which has been used to buy back RESOLV. Benefits of the Program Not only are buybacks effective for token price growth because they reduce the circulating supply, but they are also important for what they represent to the community: the protocol is sacrificing some of the revenue that would have been earned by the team in favor of the project’s token. These repurchased tokens will then be allocated to future initiatives to drive ecosystem development, effectively re-entering the protocol’s economics. Supporting their tokens for the long term through buybacks is a reliable way to increase trust among community members and plan for the future of the token, effectively retaining more supply in the long term. Final Thoughts Redirecting a small portion of proceeds toward staking and buybacks is a necessary step to support a token that has yet to find its purpose, as stakeholders currently have no say in the future of the protocol. While this move makes sense, I have some concerns about how these buybacks are executed. Weekly buybacks don't always align with market conditions (such as liquidity, volume, and spreads), so they could end up filling pending orders during price increases and provide limited support to prices when needed. On the other hand, there are ways to improve this, such as developing a strategy that uses market maker (limit) orders to support prices when necessary, such as during cyclical declines, prolonged downturns, or when low liquidity conditions cause prices to fall. Fluid and Raydium have already used this strategy.

Linea token launch and airdrop to take place on Sept. 10

Linea token launch and airdrop to take place on Sept. 10

The post Linea token launch and airdrop to take place on Sept. 10 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum layer 2 Linea has announced the launch of its long-awaited token with a community-first model that rejects venture capital allocations. Summary Linea token launch will take place on Sept. 10, with 85% allocated to ecosystem growth and no VC or team share. 9% of supply goes to early users through fully unlocked airdrops; 75% enters a 10-year ecosystem fund. ETH remains the sole gas token, while both ETH and LINEA will be burned under the dual-burn model. Linea is preparing to launch its native token on Sept. 10, in what it calls the most significant issuance since Ethereum’s (ETH) own debut. The rollout echoes Ethereum’s genesis allocation, with 85% of the 72 billion LINEA tokens earmarked for ecosystem growth and no allocation to the founding team or venture capital firms. Linea token model and airdrop Linea’s distribution centers on community ownership. Around 9% of the supply, or 6.48 billion tokens, will go to more than 780,000 eligible users via airdrop, fully unlocked at launch. Another 1% will be allocated to strategic builders, such as decentralized applications and infrastructure partners. The remaining 75% is placed in an ecosystem fund managed by the Linea Consortium, which includes ConsenSys, Eigen Labs, ENS Labs, SharpLink, and Status. This fund will be deployed over 10 years to support liquidity, builders, and public goods. Five weeks ago, Ethereum celebrated 10 years of zero downtime. Next week, LINEA becomes the most significant token to enter the ecosystem since ETH itself. The eligibility checker is now live ahead of the September 10 TGE. Check yours at https://t.co/GDV3kRe0Kf pic.twitter.com/emB8WlqCNF — Linea.eth (@LineaBuild) September 3, 2025 The airdrop eligibility checker opened in early September and will remain live until Dec. 9.

Poseidon, the AI voice input project led by a16z, is a great way to practice speaking and get free airdrops.

Poseidon, the AI voice input project led by a16z, is a great way to practice speaking and get free airdrops.

Author: Umbrella, Deep Tide TechFlow In recent days, there has been a trend of practicing spoken English in the crypto community. An AI voice input project called Poseidon has officially launched. At the current stage, users can obtain their points through voice input every day and obtain future airdrop shares. As a star project incubated by Story Protocol and led by a16z, Poseidon targets the currently scarce high-quality and clear AI voice data, and is committed to helping train AI to understand speech in different languages, dialects and environments. After the experience, the author summarized the background of the Poseidon project and how to participate. Perhaps there is the next opportunity to "make a lot of money for free" hidden in it. Project Background According to its official website, the project's chief scientist, Sandeep Chinchali, holds a Ph.D. from Stanford and is currently an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin, specializing in edge computing, artificial intelligence, and generative AI. Poseidon product manager Sarick Shah was a software engineer at LotusFlare and Roadz. He has a background in Johns Hopkins University and was responsible for Story's AI engineering before joining the Poseidon team. LJW, the head of operations for the Poseidon project, was formerly the co-director of Harvard University's Crypto Lab and a senior researcher at Harvard Business School. He has extensive experience in operating AI and Web3 business models. SY Lee, head of the Poseidon project, is also the founder and CEO of Story Protocol. His first entrepreneurial project, Radish, is a mobile serial novel application with millions of downloads. It was sold to South Korean technology giant Kakao for US$440 million in 2021. He then served as the global strategy officer of Kakao Entertainment and is also a venture partner of Hashed Ventures, South Korea's largest blockchain fund. Poseidon's significant attention is also due to the incubation and support of Story Protocol. As an ecosystem focused on on-chain IP, Story Protocol has provided significant support for Poseidon's future development. The connection between the two extends beyond incubation. Story Protocol founder SY Lee's personal involvement as Poseidon project leader underscores its significant role within the Story ecosystem. The financing information announced by Poseidon a few days ago also brought market attention and confidence to this project. On July 23, the Poseidon team announced that its seed round was led by the well-known crypto investment institution a16z, with an amount of US$15 million. Why did a16z take a fancy to such a voice data collection project? The answer to this question begins with one of the core challenges facing the AI industry today: available data. In a research report on Poseidon, a16z partner Chris Dixon pointed out that the AI industry is facing a bottleneck of "data exhaustion," which is precisely the core problem Poseidon aims to solve. Specifically, current AI training faces three major data dilemmas: Slowing Data Growth: The current rate of internet content data production is far slower than the rate at which AI can learn and digest it. The dilemma of AI running out of data to learn from may loom in the near future. In 2024, former OpenAI scientist Sutskever noted that the growth rate of internet content data is slowing, and this "fossil fuel" that has fueled AI's rapid growth is gradually running out. High-quality data is scarce: Compared to text data, clear multilingual language data is an even more scarce resource. Higher-quality voice content data can enable AI to understand what we express more quickly in voice conversations, thereby improving efficiency. Lack of diversity: Most of the existing voice data materials on the Internet are "Mandarin versions", and language data in different dialects, accents and environments are seriously lacking in this field. Poseidon's solution addresses this data demand pain point by encouraging users to contribute multilingual voice data from real scenarios, providing AI models with richer and higher-quality training materials. This model of "everyone contributes data and everyone gets rewards" not only solves the data needs of AI companies, but also creates opportunities for ordinary users to participate in the dividends of AI development. Participate in the tutorial In addition to the web version, Poseidon has also launched a mini-App store within the mobile World Coin App. Users can add applications to log in within the World Coin App. However, this method is more complicated than the official website participation process. This article will use the web version interaction process as an example. Poseidon official website link After entering the project's official website, you can complete the registration via email. Currently, there is no need to bind an encrypted wallet, which is very user-friendly for new users. The first login requires you to enable microphone permission and read a few English words. After passing, you can enter the main interface of the project and select the language you want to input in the "Home" column in the left navigation bar. Currently, Poseidon supports 16 languages including English, Chinese, German, Japanese, etc. The English language, which has the largest number of participants, has more than 24,000 users. After selecting the language you want to input, you can enter the material reading interface. Click "Start Recording" to start reading. After recording for at least 10 seconds, you can click "Submitting" to submit and get 10 points. After submitting the recording, AI will conduct a voice review. If the voice review is passed, you can get an additional 50-250 points. Points acquisition strategy According to the current language reward information on the Poseidon website, English, which has the most participants, receives the lowest points: 10 (for submission) + 50 (for review). Other languages, including Chinese, receive 10 + 250 points. Therefore, for users in the Chinese-speaking region, choosing Chinese voice input is both simpler and more rewarding. It should be noted that the daily recording submission limit is 5 times. Through active interaction (such as submitting high-quality recording content), users can obtain up to 20 recording submissions per day. At the same time, after the author's testing, if the recording is not clear or a blank recording is submitted, the full points reward cannot be obtained, and the daily submission times will also be consumed. Through the "Profile" interface on the left side of the official website, users can view their points acquisition details and exclusive invitation links. The leaderboard interface on the left navigation bar allows you to view the points rankings. It can be seen that there are not many participants at present. The author obtained a total of 3985 points in two days of interaction and ranked 435th on the leaderboard. As the number of participating users increases in the future, the competition may become more and more competitive. Airdrop Expectations Although Poseidon has not yet announced the token issuance time, its official website shows that points for participating in interactions will be converted into rewards or token airdrops after the token economy is determined. With the rapid development of AI in recent years, related encryption projects have emerged in an endless stream, and the basic data for AI development is being continuously consumed. AI urgently needs high-quality voice data in real scenarios. This demand has given birth to the Poseidon project. From the user's perspective, this may be an early opportunity with low risk and high potential. Currently, you only need to invest time and voice to obtain future airdrop expectations.
