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.

Monad Blockchain Goes Live With 100B MON Token Supply, Airdrop

Monad Blockchain Goes Live With 100B MON Token Supply, Airdrop

The post Monad Blockchain Goes Live With 100B MON Token Supply, Airdrop appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The layer-1 Monad blockchain went live on Monday, accompanied by an airdrop of its MON token. The Monad team described the blockchain as a “high-performance network capable of supporting a broad range of growing industry verticals, including DeFi, payments/stablecoins, and emerging institutional use cases for high frequency finance.” Previously, the team said that the blockchain is also “EVM-compatible,” and that the chain is designed to help scale Ethereum’s virtual machine into its next stage of growth. Read more: Monad’s MON Token Stumbles Out of the Gate in Trading Debut After Slow Token Sale As for the airdrop, according to project documentation, the total supply of MON is 100 billion tokens, with 10.8% currently unlocked and in circulation. That circulating portion is divided between two buckets: 7.5% was made available over the past week through a public sale on Coinbase’s Token Platform at $0.025 per token, and the remaining 3.3% unlocks as part of the airdrop. The remaining supply is allocated as follows: 27% to the Monad team, 19.7% to investors, 4% to the Labs Treasury, and 38.5% toward ecosystem development. Some community members on X expressed frustration with the distribution, arguing that the team’s share is unusually high compared with industry norms. “Monad mainnet’s public launch marks a major step toward making high-performance blockchain infrastructure accessible to everyone. Developers shouldn’t have to choose between speed, security, and usability,” said Keone Hon, the co-founder of Monad, in a press release shared with CoinDesk. “With Monad, we’ve worked to deliver all three, without asking builders to abandon the tools and languages they already know. We’re excited to empower a new wave of applications and bring blockchain technology closer to mainstream and institutional adoption.” Read more: Monad Unveils Tokenomics Ahead of Nov. 24 MON Token Airdrop Source: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2025/11/24/monad-blockchain-goes-live-with-100b-token-supply-and-airdrop

Monad Launches Mainnet, MON Trades Near ICO Price

Monad Launches Mainnet, MON Trades Near ICO Price

The post Monad Launches Mainnet, MON Trades Near ICO Price appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MON briefly surged 14% higher than its ICO price after listing across major CEXs, before retracing. Layer 1 blockchain Monad launched its mainnet and native asset today, Nov. 24, just a few days after its its initial coin offering (ICO) on Coinbase ended. MON debuted for spot trading on Coinbase and several other major centralized exchanges today, and is currently trading around $0.0254. The token briefly rallied as high as $0.0286 earlier today, per data from CoinGecko — about 14% higher than its ICO price. Based on the current price, MON’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) is sitting near $2.5 billion. However, Polymarket odds show about 90% of bettors expect Monad’s FDV to come in below $2 billion by tomorrow, one day after launch. MON’s market capitalization is about $270 million, which places it in the lower 200s among tokens by market capitalization, according to CoinGecko. Oversubscribed Despite Slow Start Initially, Monad’s ICO on Coinbase started off slowly, especially when compared with recent token sales, like MegaETH’s and Stable’s. That in part could be due to the fact that Coinbase’s know-your-customer requirements and regional blocks limited some buyers. The Monad public token sale offered roughly 7.5% of the 100 billion total token supply at $0.025, an allocation that implied about $187.5 million in available public funding. Some in the community earlier expressed concern that only 3.3% of the total MON supply is set aside to be airdropped, meaning, when combined with the ICO allocation, only around 11% of the total supply will be available to the average retail investor. MON Tokenomics.
