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.

25 Harsh Truths Every Crypto Trader Needs to Hear

25 Harsh Truths Every Crypto Trader Needs to Hear

You want to make money in crypto? Then stop sugarcoating it. Here are 25 brutal truths no one tells you — but every serious trader eventually learns the hard way.AI Generated Image

  1. Most traders lose money. Because most trade emotions, not data.
  2. Timing beats talent. You can be smart, but if you’re early or late, you’re broke.
  3. Bull markets make fools look like geniuses. Don’t mistake luck for skill.
  4. You will never “catch the bottom.” Stop fantasizing about perfect entries — you’ll miss the move waiting for them.
  5. No one cares about your conviction. The market doesn’t reward beliefs. It rewards execution.
  6. Your ego is your biggest position. And it’s probably the one that’ll wreck you first.
  7. You’re not a long-term investor — you’re coping with losses. Holding isn’t a strategy when it’s just denial.
  8. That influencer you follow? They’re probably dumping on you.
  9. Diversification won’t save you if everything bleeds. In a bear market, correlation goes to one.
  10. If you can’t handle a 50% drawdown, you’re in the wrong game. Volatility is the fee you pay for crypto gains.
  11. Greed and fear aren’t emotions — they’re market cycles. Master them, or get swallowed by them.
  12. The best traders are boring. No hype, no FOMO — just consistent process.
  13. You don’t need more coins. You need more conviction in fewer plays.
  14. Charts don’t predict the future — they map your emotions. Most people read confirmation, not data.
  15. Airdrops and memes won’t make you rich. Discipline and patience will.
  16. Cash is a position. Sometimes the smartest trade is no trade.
  17. You’ll miss multiple 100x runs — and that’s fine. Your job isn’t to catch every rocket. It’s to avoid every crash.
  18. The market doesn’t owe you a recovery. If you blew up, start over — not with revenge trades.
  19. Leverage doesn’t make you a pro. It just speeds up your liquidation.
  20. Don’t fight liquidity. If the big players are selling, your conviction means nothing.
  21. A plan is useless if you can’t stick to it. Execution > strategy > talk.
  22. Nobody went broke taking profits. But everyone went broke chasing one last pump.
  23. You can’t trade if you can’t sleep. If a position ruins your peace, it’s too big.
  24. You’re your own worst enemy. Every bad decision starts with “just this once.”
  25. The goal isn’t to win every trade. It’s to stay in the game long enough to catch the right ones. Final Word: Crypto doesn’t reward passion — it rewards discipline. You can’t control the market, but you can control yourself. And in this space, that’s the only real edge.

After a seven-year wait, Aztec finally launched its token, but its return with a privacy narrative has been embroiled in controversy surrounding its initial coin offering (ICO).

After a seven-year wait, Aztec finally launched its token, but its return with a privacy narrative has been embroiled in controversy surrounding its initial coin offering (ICO).

Author: Nancy, PANews As signs of a shift from a bull to a bear market become increasingly apparent in the crypto market, more and more projects, such as Monad, MegaETH, and Meteora, are rushing to launch their own tokens in an attempt to seize the last window of liquidity. Recently, Aztec Network, a once-star project, announced its token launch, returning to the market after seven years, riding the wave of the privacy trend, but its token sale has sparked controversy. TGE's airdrop was absent, and mutual funds with over 70% valuation discounts faced dissatisfaction. After years of waiting and multiple cycles of change, Aztec has finally announced the launch of its own cryptocurrency. On November 13th, Aztec disclosed its token economic model, with a genesis supply of 10.35 billion AZTEC tokens. Of these, 27.26% is allocated to investors and early supporters, 21.06% to the core team, 11.71% to the foundation, 10.73% to ecosystem subsidies, 4.89% to future incentives, 2.41% to Y1 Network Rewards, and the remaining 21.96% (approximately 2.273 billion tokens) is allocated to token sales, including the Phase 2 public auction (14.95%), Uniswap V4 liquidity pools (2.64%), the Phase 1 genesis sequencer sale (1.93%), and Bilateral reservations (2.44%). Tokens will primarily be used for sequencer staking, network governance, and network fee payments. The annual inflation cap will not exceed 20%, determined by governance. As announced by Aztec, it is launching TGE through an AZTEC token sale. The Genesis Sequential round sale will run from 22:00 on November 13 to 22:00 on December 1, while the open auction will take place from 22:00 on December 1 to 22:00 on December 6. This token sale will be conducted based on Uniswap's newly launched Continuous Liquidation Auction (CCA) . This scheme aims to drive liquidity and facilitate open price discovery for newly issued or low-liquidity tokens on Uniswap v4. It operates entirely on-chain, with a single liquidation price set per block. Higher bids are prioritized for execution, and bids at the same price are distributed proportionally, with all successful bidders paying the same price. Proceeds are automatically pooled in v4 after the auction concludes. Aztec is the first project to adopt this mechanism and can opt to use the ZK Passport module for private and verifiable participation verification. However, Aztec's token sale plan has been met with criticism from the community. As a privacy project with substantial funding and high visibility, Aztec was initially a prime target for arbitrageurs, but the official announcement that there would be no airdrops rendered the time and money invested by long-term users meaningless. Instead, Aztec emphasizes community priority, opening up early bidding opportunities to network contributors, including testnet node operators, Aztec Connect users, zk.money users, and active community members. Currently, over 300,000 addresses have been whitelisted. More attention is focused on the valuation and lock-up conditions. Aztec tokens have a starting FDV of $350 million, with a public sale ratio of 14.5%. Although the official statement claims this price represents a discount of approximately 75% to the implied valuation of the latest equity funding round, many community members still believe the valuation is mismatched with the project's current output. Meanwhile, Aztec's initial coin offering (ICO) has been criticized for its long lock-up period. Both the genesis sale (minimum staking requirement of 200,000 AZTEC) and the open auction require a 12-month lock-up period, with tokens from the public auction subject to a governance vote after 90 days to determine whether they should be immediately unlocked. Given the current depressed market sentiment and the poor performance of most projects after their TGE (Time-Based Event), these lock-up conditions amplify the financial risk for participants. It's worth noting that the white paper indicates 0.12% of the tokens (approximately 12.42 million) will be allocated to "non-internal early contributors, community members, and related stakeholders," with most of this distribution to be completed before the token sale begins. Furthermore, for compliance reasons, Aztec requires participants to complete KYC and mint NFTs before entering the auction process. However, this requirement, which contrasts with its privacy narrative, has become another focal point of community discussion. After raising over $100 million, the company is transforming its business and launching its own cryptocurrency to capitalize on the resurgence of the privacy sector. Aztec, a once-popular project, has been dedicated to building privacy solutions on Ethereum since its launch in 2018. Public information shows that Aztec completed four rounds of financing between 2018 and 2022, raising a total of over $119 million. Investors included heavyweight institutions in the industry such as Vitalik Buterin, ConsenSys, Paradigm, a16z, Ethereal Ventures, and Coinbase Ventures. However, despite its large funding and high market attention, Aztec's ecosystem development has not progressed ideally. Especially after Tornado Cash was sanctioned by the US OFAC in 2022, the regulatory risks for the entire privacy-related project sector increased significantly. In March 2023, Aztec announced a business transformation, gradually shutting down its DeFi privacy bridge project, Aztec Connect, and discontinuing the deposit function of zk.money. The official statement indicated that no regulatory agencies had contacted them, and that this move was driven by commercial considerations, shifting their focus to the development of the zero-knowledge universal language Noir and next-generation crypto blockchains. This decision impacted the Aztec ecosystem, which at the time had accumulated tens of millions of dollars in transaction volume and hundreds of thousands of users through Aztec Connect and zk.money. After a period of weakening privacy narratives, Aztec continued to update its products, but market enthusiasm clearly declined. According to DeFi Llama data, Aztec's total value locked (TVL) fell from a peak of $21 million to a low of approximately $4 million. However, the privacy sector began to show signs of recovery at the end of last year. In November 2024, a US court ruled that OFAC's sanctions against Tornado Cash were illegal and removed it from the sanctions list in March of this year, bringing positive signals to crypto privacy projects. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aztec announced the establishment of its foundation in February of this year, immediately sparking speculation about its token issuance plans. Subsequently, Aztec launched its public testnet, attracting user interaction and driving a rebound in TVL (Total Value Limit). Within just four weeks, the platform saw the development of over 30 new applications, with more than 17,000 node connections. Following this, Aztec also completed network upgrades, expanded its developer ecosystem, and implemented cross-chain and performance optimizations. Recently, with the significant price increases of privacy coins such as Zcash, market attention to the privacy sector has risen again, providing a relatively favorable window of opportunity for Aztec's token launch. However, given the current sluggish crypto market environment and rapidly changing narratives, whether Zcash can sustain its ecosystem development and attract long-term developer and user participation after gaining short-term attention and liquidity through its token launch remains to be seen.

Aztec Network Opens Token Sale via Uniswap’s New CCA Model

Aztec Network Opens Token Sale via Uniswap’s New CCA Model

The post Aztec Network Opens Token Sale via Uniswap’s New CCA Model appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. [Zug, Nov. 13, 2025] Aztec Network, the privacy-native Layer 2 on Ethereum, today announced its token sale, with registration for the token sale beginning today at 3 pm CET. The token sale will leverage Uniswap Labs’ newly launched Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA), a set of smart contracts developed with Aztec as a core contributor that aims to make token distribution more transparent and accessible to a broader audience. Aztec will be the first project to leverage CCA, “Fair, community access should be the foundation of token launches,” said Zac Williamson, Co-Founder of Aztec Network. “Given that the current system heavily favors insiders and whales over long-standing community members, CCA will. It completely changes that unjust dynamic and demonstrates our shared commitment to building infrastructure that truly serves the community.” Rather than conducting a traditional airdrop, Aztec’s token sale uses the CCA protocol to prioritize fairness, accessibility, and fair price discovery for community members who wish to help bootstrap the network’s decentralized staking set and participate in network governance. The community-first distribution offers a starting floor price based on a $350 million fully diluted valuation (FDV), which represents an approximate discount of 75% to an implied network valuation (based on the latest valuation from Aztec Labs’ equity financings). The auction also features per-user participation caps to give community members genuine, bid-clearing opportunities to participate. The CCA protocol aims to address the current challenges in token distribution, where retail participants are often disadvantaged against whales and institutions that hold large amounts of money. “For the past several months, we’ve worked closely with Uniswap Labs as contributors on the CCA protocol,” said Joe Andrews, President and Co-founder at Aztec Labs. “This launch is a first for Ethereum; we have incorporated zero-knowledge proofs into the sale smart contracts by using ZkPassport’s Noir circuits to…
