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.

2 Cryptos Like Bonk (BONK) That Could Multiply $300 by 50x in Months

In late 2023, BONK went from being “that random dog token on Solana” to one of the most celebrated meme coin success stories in crypto history. Its surge wasn’t a gentle uphill climb—it was more like strapping yourself to a jet engine with nothing but blind faith and diamond hands.  Early BONK believers saw life-changing [...]]]>

Understanding BTFS 4.0: Open Nodes vs. Storage Provider Nodes

Understanding BTFS 4.0: Open Nodes vs. Storage Provider Nodes

The post Understanding BTFS 4.0: Open Nodes vs. Storage Provider Nodes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Felix Pinkston Aug 22, 2025 02:47 Explore the roles of Open Nodes and Storage Provider Nodes in BTFS 4.0, highlighting their functionalities, hardware requirements, and contributions to the decentralized storage network. The BitTorrent File System (BTFS) 4.0 introduces a refined architecture where Open Nodes and Storage Provider (SP) Nodes play pivotal roles within the decentralized storage ecosystem. According to BitTorrent Inc., these nodes are essential for enhancing the network’s functionality and scalability. Open Nodes: The Foundation of BTFS Open Nodes serve as the backbone of the BTFS network, designed for accessibility and ease of use. These nodes cater to individual developers, tech enthusiasts, and organizations, allowing them to engage with the network by downloading and deploying BTFS software. The primary function of Open Nodes is to bolster user participation and decentralization, contributing to the network’s robustness. Hardware Requirements for Open Nodes While specific hardware requirements for Open Nodes are not stringent, they must be capable of supporting the basic operations of the BTFS network. This accessibility ensures that a broad range of participants can join the network, further decentralizing the storage capabilities. Storage Provider Nodes: High-Performance Solutions In contrast, Storage Provider Nodes are high-performance entities dedicated to offering reliable and efficient storage services. These nodes are characterized by advanced hardware specifications, ensuring they meet the network’s demands for high reliability and availability. Operators of SP Nodes must first become validators on the BTTC network, showcasing their technical expertise and resource availability. SP Nodes are incentivized through the BTFS reward mechanism, earning rewards for their contributions to the network’s storage capacity. This system not only ensures the quality and reliability of storage services but also encourages continuous participation and performance optimization. Comparison and Complementary Roles While Open Nodes and SP Nodes serve distinct…

1.3B NIGHT tokens claimed as Hoskinson midnight airdrop mid

1.3B NIGHT tokens claimed as Hoskinson midnight airdrop mid

The post 1.3B NIGHT tokens claimed as Hoskinson midnight airdrop mid appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Charles Hoskinson denies insider hoarding rumors for Midnight’s NIGHT token airdrop. Over 1.3 billion NIGHT tokens claimed, with 69,000 wallets participating by August 19. Midnight partners with Fireblocks to support secure institutional adoption of NIGHT tokens. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has shut down speculations that insiders are hoarding tokens in the Midnight network’s NIGHT token airdrop. The Glacier Drop, which started in early August, has already seen over 1.3 billion NIGHT tokens claimed, showing strong interest from the crypto community. Hoskinson’s response comes as Midnight teams up with Fireblocks to enhance secure adoption by big players. Midnight’s Airdrop Success and Partnerships The speculations started with a meme on X claiming most NIGHT tokens would end up back with Hoskinson, suggesting the airdrop wasn’t attracting enough people. Hoskinson called this misinformation and shared data showing over 69,000 wallets claimed 1.3 billion NIGHT tokens by August 19, about 5.5% of the total supply. He pointed out the airdrop is doing well, with 250 million tokens claimed in just the first 24 hours. Analysts say the 60 day claim window ensures fairness, and fewer early claims could mean bigger payouts. For those who join later, possibly leading to a rush near the deadline. Midnight, a privacy focused project tied to Cardano, also announced a partnership with Fireblocks, a platform for safely managing digital assets. This move helps institutions claim and use NIGHT tokens securely. Fireblocks supports Midnight’s goal of a private, secure blockchain future. The airdrop gives 50% of the 24 billion NIGHT tokens to Cardano’s ADA holders. 5% to XRP holders, and the rest to users on other blockchains like Bitcoin. Hoskinson’s focus on transparency aims to build trust as Midnight grows. Source: https://thenewscrypto.com/1-3b-night-tokens-claimed-as-hoskinson-highlights-midnight-airdrop-success/

Stablecoin Supply on Linea Hits All-time High amid Airdrop Speculation

Stablecoin Supply on Linea Hits All-time High amid Airdrop Speculation

The post Stablecoin Supply on Linea Hits All-time High amid Airdrop Speculation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The total supply of stablecoins issued on Linea jumped by over $50 million in two weeks as the network gears up for its native token launch. The stablecoin supply on Consensys-backed Linea, an Ethereum Layer 2 network, reached a new all-time high at $74.5 million last week as the network prepares for its token launch and airdrop. Stablecoins on Linea According to DefiLlama data, USDC makes up over 75% of the market at $56 million. The increase comes alongside higher trading activity on Linea-based decentralized exchange Etherex, the largest protocol on Linea with over $150 million in total value locked (TVL). Linea DEX Volume Daily DEX volumes also climbed to about $100 million during the stablecoin inflows, but fell back to an average of $10 million since then. Linea now ranks 34th among blockchains by stablecoin supply, placing ahead of StarkNet, Algorand, and Tezos, but still behind Blast, Polkadot, and Hedera. Behind the Numbers The growth comes as MetaMask, also backed by Consensys, prepares to launch a dollar-pegged stablecoin — called mUSD — on Ethereum and Linea, with support from Stripe’s Bridge for payment infrastructure. Earlier in August, Linea revealed details of its tokenomics. The network set the total supply at 72 billion LINEA tokens, with 9% allocated to early users through an airdrop fully unlocked at token generation. Around 22% of the supply is scheduled to circulate at launch. Consensys holds 15% of tokens under a five-year lock-up. A share of transaction fees will be directed toward token buybacks and burns, while a portion of ETH fees will also be removed from circulation.

‘WTF Is Going On?’ Fake Kanye West Coins Crash After Real YZY Token Launches

‘WTF Is Going On?’ Fake Kanye West Coins Crash After Real YZY Token Launches

The post ‘WTF Is Going On?’ Fake Kanye West Coins Crash After Real YZY Token Launches appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Ye, formerly Kanye West, launched an official meme coin on Tuesday, prompting other tokens that some investors believed were tied to the musician to crash and burn. Yeezy Coin and Swasticoin were launched approximately six months ago, with members of both communities believing they were part of a performance art piece or an alternate reality game. Now, investors are reckoning with increasingly worthless coins supported by communities that trade in antisemitism. Meme coins created to play on purported associations with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, have crashed after the rapper launched his own official Solana coin on Wednesday. Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been flirting with crypto for months, with his interest spawning two notable meme coin communities that adamantly believed they were part of a masterful performance art piece—or an alternate reality game.  But holders of Yeezy Coin and Swasticoin found their hopes dashed after the launch of Ye’s YZY Money this week. As rumors intensified on Tuesday that Ye was about to release his official meme coin, both tokens pumped hard. With Ye’s move apparently confirming that neither previous token was part of his plan, Yeezy Coin has plummeted 88% from Tuesday’s high while Swasticoin is down nearly 78% from its Wednesday high, according to DEX Screener. “Yo WTF is going on? Are we still alive?” one user in the 4NBT Yeezy Coin Telegram group said (Yeezy Coin is also referred to as “4NBT,” which is part of the coin’s contract address). “They emotionally harvested us for six months. Bye,” another person posted, moments after Ye posted the official YZY contract address.  The 4NBT community has been surveying Ye’s social media antics with a fine-tooth comb for half a year, believing that the musician has been dropping hints that he would soon endorse…
