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.

Plama [XPL] loses steam after airdrop surge – Is the ‘new chain’ buzz over?

Plama [XPL] loses steam after airdrop surge – Is the ‘new chain’ buzz over?

The post Plama [XPL] loses steam after airdrop surge – Is the ‘new chain’ buzz over? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Why is Plasma’s price sliding despite a green market? Upcoming unlocks, collapsing activity, and a sharp drop in stablecoin TVL weakened XPL’s short-term structure. What on-chain signals showed XPL’s momentum fading? DEX volume, daily users, and transaction counts fell steadily through November, aligning with a bearish technical setup. Plasma dropped more than 11% in recent hours, even as the broader market traded green for most of the day. The decline put Plasma [XPL] alongside Starknet [STRK], which also posted double-digit losses during the same window. XPL extended its downtrend after the post-launch hype faded. That early rally had been supported by an airdrop worth about 10,000 XPL for initial users. As price cooled, on-chain activity followed the same path, weakening the token’s momentum. What’s driving Plasma token down? The first wave of selling stemmed from the upcoming unlock on the 25th of November. About 88.88 million XPL, valued at $18.13 million, was set to unlock, leaving over 80% of the supply still locked. It was the largest of the roughly $80 million in weekly token unlocks across the sector. Source: DefiLlama Even so, long-term traction struggled elsewhere. Stablecoin TVL fell 68% since October and declined 8.24% on a weekly basis. Stablecoin Market Cap rested near $1.82 billion, while overall TVL slipped to $6.695 billion, with bridges contributing $5.79 billion of that total. Source: Dune Cumulative Transactions hit a new high, but daily activity cooled. Transaction Count slipped from 42,398 to 39,725. Daily New Users were only 137, and returning users totaled 1,831. DEX Volume dropped to $8.39 million at press time from its high of $47.81 million on the 19th of November. Most usage metrics trended lower since late October, a slide reflected in price charts. Bears extend control On the charts, XPL price showed that the altcoin…

Hyperliquid Set for $314M Token Unlock Amid Growing Market Tensions

Hyperliquid Set for $314M Token Unlock Amid Growing Market Tensions

The post Hyperliquid Set for $314M Token Unlock Amid Growing Market Tensions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TLDR Hyperliquid will unlock 9.92 million HYPE tokens, worth $314 million, on Saturday. The entire token allocation will be unlocked at once, raising concerns about sell pressure. Community members are urging the team to address concerns over market stability. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes warns that verbal assurances cannot prevent market risks. Some community members defend the team, arguing they have earned their share of tokens. Hyperliquid is set to unlock $314 million in tokens this Saturday. The release of 9.92 million HYPE tokens will mark a critical point for the decentralized exchange. These tokens represent 2.66% of Hyperliquid’s total supply and will be unlocked in a single “cliff unlock.” Token Unlock Raises Transparency Concerns The upcoming unlock has raised questions about Hyperliquid’s transparency. The entire allocation will be unlocked at once, which could create sell pressure. Many community members are concerned about how the team will manage these newly released tokens. A user named Andy recently published an open letter calling for the team to address these concerns. “The team and airdrop recipients finally able to sell is going to ruffle feathers until you address the community head on,” he wrote. He pointed out that holders are already uneasy due to a broader market slump and HYPE’s value decline over the past month. An open letter to Jeff & the Hyperliquid team about the upcoming unlocks: I want to start by saying the community knows you and the team are going to do what’s best for the business, no matter what. This has been one of the best assets to own in the entire world for the last… https://t.co/fLICnDssRR — Andy (@andyyy) November 24, 2025 BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes also expressed concern, warning that even verbal assurances cannot prevent potential market instability.

SlowMist: Users who haven't received their Monad airdrops are advised to check if the URL linked to their claim page has been changed by hackers.

SlowMist: Users who haven't received their Monad airdrops are advised to check if the URL linked to their claim page has been changed by hackers.

PANews reported on November 25 that Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist, posted that some users may not have received the Monad airdrop. He suggested checking whether the wallet address they linked on the airdrop claim page was the intended address. If not, they may have encountered a problem similar to that of user @Onefly: their wallet address was linked to a hacker's address, and the official airdrop was then sent to the hacker's address. They also stated that a white-hat hacker had previously shared a vulnerability with them. This vulnerability had a prerequisite: if someone hijacked a user's session on the Monad airdrop claim page, they could change the claim wallet address without further confirmation. They suggested that Monad investigate @Onefly's issue, such as checking the change logs of the claim wallet address.

Just how bad was it? 📌 What Happened Friday opened with panic. Bitcoin sliced below $86K and then fell below $81k before stabilizing. At one point, the market saw more than $1.7B in liquidations, one of the biggest wipes of the year. Then it flipped. Through late Saturday and into Sunday, bids started reappearing. BTC crawled back above $87K, ETH stabilized, and even the hardest-hit alts posted green. As the dust settles this morning, here are current prices and their 30-day percent change.

Monad Token Defies Market Rout With Sharp Post-Launch Rally

Monad Token Defies Market Rout With Sharp Post-Launch Rally

Monad’s MON token surged more than 35% within 24 hours of launch, defying both a cold airdrop market and a deep November sell-off across digital assets.  MON traded around $0.035 on Monday, rising from an early range near $0.025 as liquidity spread across major exchanges. Monad Shines Bright Amid the Bear Market The move stands out against a market where most airdrops have struggled. Recent industry research shows nearly 90% of airdropped tokens decline within days, driven by thin liquidity, high FDVs, and aggressive selling from recipients.  MON instead climbed strongly despite more than 10.8 billion tokens entering circulation from airdrop claims and a public token sale. The token launched on November 24 alongside Monad’s mainnet. Around 76,000 wallets claimed 3.33 billion MON from a 4.73 billion-token airdrop, while 7.5 billion more unlocked from Coinbase’s token sale.  Monad Price Chart. Source: CoinGecko The airdrop alone was valued near $105 million at early trading prices. MON’s performance also contrasts with the broader market downturn. Bitcoin fell below $90,000 last week after long-term holders sold more than 815,000 BTC over 30 days.  Total crypto market value has dropped by over $1 trillion since October, and sentiment sits in extreme fear territory. However, MON’s trading demand remained resilient. Its price recovered from initial selling pressure and climbed steadily through the afternoon session.  Most large exchanges listed the token at launch, including Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, KuCoin, Bitget, Gate.io, and Upbit, supporting deeper liquidity. Analysts attribute the move to pent-up interest in Monad’s high-performance L1 design and a launch structure that avoided the steep inflation seen in other airdrops this year. The project delivered one of 2025’s largest distributions but kept real circulating supply focused on early users and public sale participants rather than speculative farmers. MON’s rally comes as a rare outlier in November’s bear cycle. Its early strength now positions the token as one of the few airdrops this year to post immediate gains instead of sharp declines.
