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.

Avantis AVNT token rebounds 78% from bottom driven by strong fundamentals

Avantis AVNT token rebounds 78% from bottom driven by strong fundamentals

The post Avantis AVNT token rebounds 78% from bottom driven by strong fundamentals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AVNT posted a 43.3% price increase over the past 24 hours to record a 78% recovery from its bottom, despite continued sell pressure from its recent airdrop. Avantis airdropped AVNT tokens on Sept. 9 at a starting price of $0.488, but immediate selling activity from airdrop recipients seeking liquidity drove the token lower. The sell-off created buying opportunities that smart money traders capitalized on, with Nansen data showing profitable addresses increased AVNT holdings by 20.5% during the past 24 hours. The token reached a daily high of $0.371 on Sept. 10 after bottoming at $0.208 in early trading hours. Base ecosystem leadership The recovery likely reflects Avantis’ dominant position as the largest decentralized perpetuals exchange on Base. According to DefiLlama data, the protocol captured $4.6 billion in trading volume during August, representing 39.3% of all perpetual volume on Base during the month. Base consistently ranks among the top 10 chains for monthly perpetual trading volume in 2025, regularly surpassing $10 billion in trading activity except for May.

Best Presale Crypto in 2025: BlockDAG, Hyper, and BZIL

Best Presale Crypto in 2025: BlockDAG, Hyper, and BZIL

The post Best Presale Crypto in 2025: BlockDAG, Hyper, and BZIL appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Presales often create attention without showing much progress. But in 2025, some projects are rewriting the story by delivering working products before launch. These coins are not waiting for the future; they are already building today. This shift makes presales less about waiting and more about real usage. The best presale crypto coins leading this trend are BlockDAG, Hyper, and BZIL. Each brings a different strength, whether in scaling networks, expanding DeFi, or linking digital rewards with retail. What sets them apart is proof that development is active, users are engaged, and growth is steady. Let’s examine how these projects are transforming presales into something more than just early promises. 1. BlockDAG: The Presale Crypto Already Running at Scale BlockDAG is setting a new standard for presale projects. Where most coins remain at the idea stage, BlockDAG (BDAG) has already proven its progress. It has raised over $403 million and entered Batch 30, with the presale price now at $0.03. This marks an impressive 2,900% surge since its very first batch. Over 26.1 billion coins have been sold, making it one of the most successful presales of 2025. The project has a working infrastructure that is live and in use. More than 19,700 X-series miners, including the X10, X30, and X100 units, have been sold. On the mobile front, the X1 Miner app attracts over 3 million daily users mining BDAG. Its upgraded V4 dashboard, Explorer, Academy, and TRADEBDAG tools are all open, showing clear functionality beyond the promise stage. BlockDAG’s presale setup enables growth to be measured. Starting at $0.001, it has steadily advanced through 30 batches, each reflecting demand and progress. Unlike projects that only raise funds, BlockDAG is actively scaling networks while building out hardware and software. The project’s upcoming deployment event in Singapore will mark the…

Meteora Protocol Prepares for October 2025 Token Generation Event

Meteora Protocol Prepares for October 2025 Token Generation Event

The post Meteora Protocol Prepares for October 2025 Token Generation Event appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Highlights Meteora TGE set for October 2025 with robust pre-launch infrastructure. Dynamic Bonding Curve and DAMM V2 enhance liquidity and token flexibility. Airdrop Claim tool simplifies token distribution directly from pools. Meteora Protocol Prepares for October 2025 TGE The Meteora protocol team announced that the token generation event (TGE) is scheduled for October 2025. Leading up to the TGE, developers are working to enhance project infrastructure over several weeks to ensure smooth operations. Meteora is a yield protocol in the Solana ecosystem developed by the Jupiter team. Its key feature is a dynamic liquidity system that adapts distribution to market conditions, allowing users to benefit from efficient and flexible pools. Dynamic Tools and Pre-TGE Preparations Over the past months, the team focused on the Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC) and Dynamic Automated Market Maker V2 (DAMM V2), which support flexible-price token launches and more efficient pool creation. These tools have already enabled launchpads such as Believe, Bags, and daos.fun. The first season has concluded, with the calculation and distribution of points completed. The next phase, pre-TGE, will focus on preparing the infrastructure for high user load and ensuring the Dynamic Positions model is reliable. This model allows users to manage their liquidity positions efficiently. The team also introduced a new tool — Airdrop Claim, allowing users to receive tokens directly from pools as part of distributions. This mechanism will also be used during the MET asset TGE to streamline token allocation. The Meteora team emphasized that while pre-TGE preparations are critical, the process is structured to ensure that the protocol remains rock solid for its October 2025 launch.

Linea opened a 90-day claim window in the TGE, airdropping over 9.36 billion LINEA tokens

PANews reported on September 10th that according to The Block, Linea, the Ethereum Layer 2 network built by Consensys, opened up its native asset LINEA for claiming through a token generation event (TGE) on Wednesday, and opened a 90-day claiming window lasting until December 9th. This TGE included the allocation of more than 9.36 billion LINEA tokens to eligible addresses. Unclaimed tokens will be returned to the Linea Alliance Ecosystem Fund to support the Linea and Ethereum ecosystems. The project took a snapshot of eligibility in July and launched a query portal last week. The project stated that users must use the same address holding the balance of LXP/LXP-L tokens to claim. The previously announced distribution framework indicates that 85% of the token supply will be allocated to the ecosystem, including a 10% fully unlocked fund for early adopters and developers, and a 75% fund for the ecosystem. This fund is overseen by the Linea Alliance, whose members include Consensys, Eigen Labs, ENS, SharpLink Gaming, and Status. The token will not have any team or venture capital allocations and will not be used for on-chain governance, but rather for strategic direction to be determined by like-minded institutions.

Gearbox deposits recover from 80% crash as users pour $250m into new lending market

Gearbox deposits recover from 80% crash as users pour $250m into new lending market

For some DeFi projects, when airdrop rewards dry up, it kickstarts a terminal liquidity decline from which they don’t recover.DeFi lending protocol Gearbox has defied that pattern.Last year, its total value locked fell 80% from its $410 million peak. Users caused the slump by abandoning Gearbox when opportunities to farm airdrops of restaking services like Renzo shrank. TVL is a metric that measures the amount of deposits to a DeFi protocol. Yet, Gearbox’s TVL has since bounced back to $340 million, DefiLlama data shows. The TVL includes funds borrowed on the protocol.“A significant aspect of Gearbox’s comeback strategy was integrating assets no one else can,” a Gearbox team member who goes by Mugglesect told DL News.For instance, Gearbox users can tap into illiquid assets available on protocols like Mellow Finance, a $430 million liquid restaking protocol. Mugglesect said Gearbox is betting that this growth is anchored in users actually leveraging the protocol rather than chasing the next speculative farming craze.Gearbox’s revival comes amid a resurgence in crypto’s lending sector that has pushed deposits to $130 billion, catapulting the sector to the summit of DeFi, even overtaking liquid staking, previously the biggest sector. Unique advantageGearbox is small compared to giants like Aave and Morpho, whose deposits are in the tens of billions of dollars. But it has a unique advantage: so-called credit accounts, Mugglesect said. These are smart contract wallets inside the Gearbox app that allow users to deploy leveraged capital across several DeFi markets for trading, staking, or providing liquidity.Users deposit approved collateral like Ether on Gearbox to open a credit account. Based on the account’s leverage limits, they can borrow multiples of their collateral to use as capital to stake on Lido to earn staking yield, provide liquidity on Curve to receive boosted rewards, or trade perpetual contracts.“You don’t just loop an asset, you borrow up to [40 times] your capital in a credit account and utilise it across DeFi, turning any integrated DeFi protocol leveraged,” Mugglesect said.“Credit accounts can also connect to assets that aren’t on [decentralised exchanges] or aren’t even tokenised, something traditional lending protocols can’t do.”Gearbox’s credit accounts offer composability, which means users can integrate across several DeFi markets via the platform. That’s not possible on other protocols, such as Aave, Morpho, or Compound. There, users must manually transfer borrowed funds to other DeFi apps if they want to farm or stake. Risk curatorsIn March, Gearbox launched a new lending market called Permissionless. It has been a major boon for the protocol, with credit accounts on Permissionless accounting for $250 million of Gearbox’s TVL.Permissionless features risk curators. These are DAO-approved managers who define the assets and DeFi strategies that can be used with a Gearbox credit account. They also set the allowable risk parameters, like leverage limits and liquidation thresholds, to keep credit accounts safe for users.Usually, the Gearbox DAO approves new assets that can be added to the protocol via a governance vote. “Permissionless enables risk curators to onboard new markets to Gearbox without the DAO intervention,” Mugglesect said.Under Permissionless, Gearbox has added five new blockchains and more than 25 markets to its lending stack while tripling the protocol’s market expansion, Mugglesect said.“The protocol is already on 27 [blockchains], the most of any lending protocol,” Mugglesect said. “We’ll be doubling down on more such integrations to create sticky growth.”Zero bad debtBut with crypto lending comes risks. As Gearbox swallows up more liquidity, the peril for lenders could increase.The team takes a proactive approach to unforeseen events by forking the networks eight times a day to test against black swan events, Mugglesect said.Gearbox has already proven its chops in navigating periods of market upheaval, Mugglesect said.Last year, ezETH, Renzo’s Ethereum liquid staking token, lost its peg to Ethereum due to confusion over the protocol’s airdrop. Users couldn’t redeem ezETH for Ethereum, and that caused a massive selloff on exchanges.The ezETH depeg caused $56 million worth of user positions to be liquidated, with $33 million of those losses happening on Gearbox due to the protocol’s popularity among restaking airdrop farmers. Yet Gearbox didn’t suffer any bad debt thanks to its design. That design separates lenders, risk curators, and active borrowers into different layers within the protocol. It even earned a profit from the ezETH depeg liquidation, whereas Morpho, the second-most affected protocol in the ezETH depeg incident, incurred about $34,000 in bad debt. The protocol boasts a bad-debt-free track record since its inception in 2021.Osato Avan-Nomayo is our Nigeria-based DeFi correspondent. He covers DeFi and tech. Got a tip?
