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.

HumidiFi Relaunches Token Sale After Bot Snipes Entire Supply

HumidiFi Relaunches Token Sale After Bot Snipes Entire Supply

The post HumidiFi Relaunches Token Sale After Bot Snipes Entire Supply appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. HumidiFi plans a fresh token sale after a coordinated bot attack captured the entire WET supply during its public launch. The team described the incident as a major setback for early supporters, who expected a fair distribution after months of community growth.  The project built momentum from DeFi trading activity on Solana, yet the event revealed critical vulnerabilities in the initial sale process. Consequently, HumidiFi moved quickly to design a new plan that protects legitimate participants and restores confidence across its user base. How the Snipe Happened According to the team, the bot farm deployed thousands of funded wallets. Each wallet prepared an instruction to push funds into the DTF contract the moment the sale opened. Additionally, the setup allowed multiple instructions to execute within a single transaction bundle.  Each bundle triggered four transactions, and each transaction activated six instructions. Consequently, every bundle pushed about 24,000 USDC into the sale and captured roughly 350,000 WET. Many bundles were sent at once, overwhelming the sale window and leaving genuine users without a chance to participate. HumidiFi said the event exposed how sophisticated automation can exploit public sale designs. The team described the attack as a coordinated rush that drained the entire allocation before real users could react. Moreover, the moment intensified calls across Solana’s DeFi community for smarter contract structures that defend distribution fairness. New Token, New Contract, New Approach HumidiFi will now issue a new token. Supporters from the Wetlist and JUP staking groups will receive a pro-rata airdrop. The sniper wallets will not receive any allocation.  Besides replacing the token, the team said it rebuilt the DTF contract with community protection as the priority. Temporal developers contributed to the redesign, and Osec completed an audit. The project plans to reopen the public sale on Monday. The team expects the…

Binance Alpha’s Piggycell faces scrutiny after brutal crash

Binance Alpha’s Piggycell faces scrutiny after brutal crash

The post Binance Alpha’s Piggycell faces scrutiny after brutal crash appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Piggycell’s PIGGY token crashed after a sudden mint‑and‑dump, raising hard questions over token controls, smart‑contract design and Binance Alpha’s listing safeguards. Summary Large, sudden PIGGY mint linked to one wallet preceded a violent intraday price collapse.​ Piggycell markets itself as a Korean DePIN power‑bank network tokenized via PIGGY on Binance Alpha.​ Lack of immediate, detailed disclosure from Piggycell or Binance fuels rug‑pull accusations and trust concerns. Piggycell’s PIGGY (PIGGY) token appears to have suffered a violent intraday collapse after a sudden spike in freshly minted tokens hit the market, triggering renewed questions over token controls and Binance’s Alpha listing standards. Onchain sleuths are now scrutinizing a single wallet that allegedly minted and dumped millions of dollars’ worth of PIGGY within minutes.​ $PIGGY RUG Over the last 10 minutes, nearly $4M worth of $PIGGY was freshly minted – and immediately dumped on the market The token collapsed -90% instantly Minting wallet:0x942f360d8a265aFcfDFa564429550DD755F96896 pic.twitter.com/5SI2NmezQO — onchainschool.pro (@how2onchain) December 5, 2025 What happened to PIGGY According to on-chain monitoring accounts, a wallet identified as 0x942f360d8a265aFcfDFa564429550DD755F96896 minted a large batch of new PIGGY tokens and rapidly sold them into the market, coinciding with a reported intraday drawdown of around 90%. Price trackers show PIGGY trading around the 0.4 dollar range recently, with sharp volatility and elevated volumes consistent with forced selling and panic exits.​ At the time of writing, there is no public statement from Piggycell or Binance Alpha addressing the specific minting wallet or explaining whether the issuance was part of a vesting schedule, treasury action, or an exploit. Without that disclosure, the incident has understandably been labeled a potential “rug” by traders watching their positions evaporate in real time.​ Who is Piggycell Piggycell is marketed as a Korean power‑bank sharing network that has been tokenized into a DePIN and real‑world asset (RWA) play…

Aster Price Outlook as Buyback Wallet Burns 77.86M ASTER Worth $79.81M

The post Aster Price Outlook as Buyback Wallet Burns 77.86M ASTER Worth $79.81M appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. ASTER, the native token of the decentralized exchange Aster, experienced a slight price increase following a brief market rebound. Recently, the Aster price has remained above the $1.00 support level, with bulls eyeing a potential breakout.  Aster buyback wallet had just burned 77.86 million ASTER tokens that are priced at around $79.81 million. Although the crypto market has gone slightly down in the last 24 hours, most leading coins are remaining steady.  Bitcoin price is trading above $92,000, Ethereum is trading around $3,100, and XRP is trading above $2. Aster Burns 77.86 Million Tokens Aster made waves today by burning 77.86 million ASTER tokens, worth $79.81 million. This action is the S3 buyback program that has currently taken out of circulation 155.7 million tokens. This is aimed at decreasing the supply and enhancing scarcity, in the long term, benefiting the long-term holders. Besides the burn, tokens were also transferred to an airdrop-locked wallet. This will further constrain supply and will aid in increasing the value of the token.   The Aster buyback wallet burned 77.86M $ASTER ($79.81M) an hour ago.https://t.co/G5VzsH8oZP pic.twitter.com/WInO13ncd2 — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) December 5, 2025 In the meantime, a single whale investor who recently suffered a loss of $150K purchased 3 million tokens of the ASTER in less than 24 hours. This has helped in creating a favorable market mood. ASTER tokens have done greatly with 133% growth in wallet balances. The price of Aster has increased over the last 2 days, which is caused by the activity of whales and the support of such prominent people as CZ. This has seen a high bullish mood with 88 percent of the investors being confident. ASTER is very concentrated, with a supply amounting to 7.785 billion tokens, where the top 100 holders hold 85% of the supply.  Analysts believe…

Ethereum's New Privacy Infrastructure: In-depth Analysis of How Aztec Achieves "Programmable Privacy"

Ethereum's New Privacy Infrastructure: In-depth Analysis of How Aztec Achieves "Programmable Privacy"

Author: Zhixiong Pan In the second decade of blockchain technology development, the industry is facing a fundamental philosophical and technological paradox: while Ethereum, as a "world computer," has successfully established a trustless value settlement layer, its radical transparency is becoming an obstacle to widespread adoption. Currently, every interaction, asset allocation, salary transfer, and even social relationship among on-chain users is exposed to a permanently immutable public panoramic prison. This "glass house"-like existence not only infringes on individual sovereignty but also excludes the vast majority of institutional capital due to the lack of trade secret protection. 2025 marks a decisive turning point in industry consensus. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin explicitly stated that "privacy is not a function, but a health measure," defining it as the foundation of freedom and a necessary condition for social order. Just as the evolution of the internet from plaintext HTTP to encrypted HTTPS spurred the boom in e-commerce, Web3 is at a similar tipping point. Backed by approximately $119 million in funding, Aztec Network (the Ignition architecture) is driving Ethereum towards an infrastructure upgrade towards programmable privacy through Ignition Chain, the Noir language ecosystem, and Noir-based proof applications like zkPassport. Macro Narrative: From Single-Point Breakthroughs to the Depth of "Overall Privacy" Defense The Ethereum ecosystem's understanding of privacy has evolved beyond a single coin mixing protocol into a "Holistic Privacy" architecture that spans the network, hardware, and application layers. This paradigm shift became a focal point at the 2025 Devconnect conference, establishing that privacy protection must possess full-stack defense depth. Refactoring Software Standards: Kohaku and Stealth Metaaddresses The Kohaku reference implementation, led by the Ethereum Foundation's Privacy Exploration Team (PSE), marks the transition of privacy technology from a "wild plugin" to a "legitimate force." Kohaku is more than just a wallet SDK; it attempts to fundamentally restructure the account system. By introducing the "Stealth Meta-Address" mechanism, Kohaku allows the recipient to publish only a static meta-public key, while the sender generates a unique, one-time on-chain address for each transaction based on elliptic curve cryptography. To external observers, these transactions appear as if they were sent to a random black hole, making it impossible to establish a correlation with the user's true identity. Furthermore, Kohaku provides reusable integration components around mechanisms such as stealth meta-addresses and stealth addresses, attempting to move privacy capabilities from "plug-ins" to a more standardized wallet infrastructure. The Last Bastion of Hardware Defense: ZKnox and the Quantum Threat If Kohaku safeguards the logic at the software level, then ZKnox, an Ethereum Foundation (EF)-funded project that fills the hardware gaps in the ecosystem, focuses on addressing deeper key security and future threats. With the increasing prevalence of ZK applications, more and more sensitive witnesses (potentially containing key materials, identity data, or transaction details) need to participate in the proof and signature process on the terminal side, thus expanding the risk of leakage when clients are compromised. ZKnox focuses more on improving and implementing the infrastructure to make quantum-resistant cryptography "usable and inexpensive" on Ethereum (e.g., promoting related pre-compilations to reduce the computational cost of lattice cryptography), paving the way for future migration to PQ signature schemes. More importantly, in the face of the potential threat that quantum computing may pose to traditional elliptic curve cryptography in the 2030s, ZKnox is focusing on infrastructure work to make quantum-resistant cryptography available and cheap enough on Ethereum. For example, EIP-7885 proposes to add NTT pre-compilation to reduce the on-chain verification cost of lattice cryptography (including schemes such as Falcon) and pave the way for future PQ migration. Aztec's historical standing and technological architecture: Defining the "Private World Computer" In the evolution of the privacy field, Aztec occupies a unique niche. Unlike the pseudonym mechanism of the Bitcoin era, and surpassing the single "transactional privacy" offered by Zcash or Tornado Cash, Aztec is committed to achieving Turing-complete "programmable privacy." Its core team includes the co-inventors of the PLONK zero-knowledge proof system, which gives Aztec a deep-rooted ability for original cryptographic innovation. Hybrid State Model: Breaking the Impossible Triangle The biggest challenge in building a privacy-preserving smart contract platform lies in how to handle state. Traditional blockchains are either entirely public state (like Ethereum) or entirely private state (like Zcash). Aztec creatively proposes a hybrid state model: at the private level, it adopts a Bitcoin-like UTXO model, storing user assets and data as encrypted "Notes". These tickets are marked "spent/expired" by generating corresponding nullifiers, thus preventing double-spending and maintaining privacy regarding ticket content and ownership. At the public level, Aztec maintains publicly verifiable public state, which is updated by public functions in the network-side public execution environment. This architecture allows developers to mix private and public functions within the same smart contract. For example, a decentralized voting application can expose the global state of "total votes," but keep "who voted" and "what voted" strictly confidential through private state. Dual Execution Model: A Harmony of PXE and AVM Aztec's execution is split into two layers: client and network. Private functions are executed in the client's PXE and generate proofs and commitments related to the private state. Public state transitions are executed by the sequencer (running a public execution environment/VM) and generate (or delegate to the prover network to generate) proofs of validity that can be verified on Ethereum. Client-Side Proving: All private data processing occurs within the user's local Private Execution Environment (PXE). Whether generating transactions or computing logic, the user's private key and plaintext data never leave their device. The PXE is responsible for running the circuit locally and generating a zero-knowledge proof. Public Execution and Verification (AVM): Users only submit the generated proofs to the network. On the network side, the sorter/block-producing committee verifies the private proofs and re-executes the public parts during the packaging process. The public contract logic is executed in the AVM and incorporated into the final validity proof that can be verified on Ethereum. This separation of "private inputs on the client and public state transitions verifiable" compresses the conflict between privacy and verifiability within the boundaries of the provable interface, without requiring the entire network to see all plaintext data. Interoperability and Cross-Layer Communication: Portals and Asynchronous Message Passing Under the Ignition architecture, Aztec does not treat Ethereum as a "background execution engine" to proxy the execution of DeFi instructions. Instead, it establishes an L1↔L2 communication abstraction through Portals. Since private execution needs to be "prepared and proven" in advance on the client side, and public state modification must be executed by the sequencer at the chain head, Aztec's cross-domain calls are designed as a one-way, asynchronous message passing model: L2 contracts can initiate call intentions to the L1 portal (or vice versa), and the message becomes consumable in subsequent blocks through the rollup mechanism. Applications need to explicitly handle failure and rollback scenarios. Rollup contracts take on key responsibilities such as maintaining the state root, verifying state transition proofs, and moving message queue states, thereby enabling composable interactions with Ethereum while maintaining privacy constraints. Strategic Engine: Noir Language and the Democratization of Zero-Knowledge Development If Ignition Chain is the body of Aztec, then the Noir language is its soul. For a long time, the development of zero-knowledge proof applications was limited by the "two-brain problem," requiring developers to be both seasoned cryptographers and skilled engineers, manually translating business logic into low-level arithmetic circuits and polynomial constraints. This was not only inefficient but also highly prone to introducing security vulnerabilities. The power of abstraction is independent of the backend. Noir emerged to end this "Tower of Babel" era. As an open-source domain-specific language (DSL), Noir employs a modern syntax similar to Rust, supporting advanced features such as loops, structs, and function calls. According to a developer report from Electric Capital, writing complex logic in Noir requires only one-tenth the amount of code compared to traditional circuit languages (such as Halo2 or Circom). For example, after migrating to Noir, Payy's privacy payment network reduced its core codebase from thousands of lines to approximately 250 lines. More strategically significant is Noir's "Backend Agnosticism." Noir code compiles to an intermediate representation layer (ACIR), which can interface with any proof system that supports the standard. Noir decouples circuit representation from specific proof systems through ACIR: it comes with Barretenberg by default within the Aztec protocol stack, while ACIR can also be converted/adapted to different backends such as Groth16 outside the chain or in other systems. This flexibility makes Noir a universal standard in the entire ZK field, breaking down barriers between different ecosystems. Ecosystem Explosion and Developer Moats Data proves the success of the Noir strategy. In Electric Capital's annual report, the Aztec/Noir ecosystem has ranked among the top five fastest-growing ecosystems for developers across the industry for two consecutive years. Currently, more than 600 projects on GitHub are built using Noir, covering everything from authentication (zkEmail) and games to complex DeFi protocols. By hosting the NoirCon global developer conference, Aztec has not only solidified its technological moat but also fostered a vibrant ecosystem of privacy-focused native applications, foreshadowing a Cambrian explosion in privacy applications. Network Cornerstone: Decentralized Practices of Ignition Chain In November 2025, Aztec launched Ignition Chain on the Ethereum mainnet (currently focusing on decentralized block generation and proof processes, with transactions and contract execution expected to be gradually opened in early 2026). This is not only a technological milestone, but also a radical practice of Layer 2 decentralization. The courage to start with decentralization In the current Layer 2 scaling race, most networks (such as Optimism and Arbitrum) rely on a single centralized sequencer in the early stages to ensure performance, postponing decentralization to an uncertain future. Aztec chose a completely different path: Ignition Chain operated from the outset with a decentralized validator/orderer committee architecture, and delegated key permissions to an open set of validators as much as possible. The network triggered genesis block production after the validator queue reached a startup threshold of 500, and attracted 600+ validators to join and participate in the block production and endorsement process in the early stages after its launch. This design is not superfluous; it is the bottom line for the survival of privacy networks. If the sorter is centralized, regulatory agencies or powerful bodies can easily pressure it to review or reject privacy transactions from specific addresses, rendering the entire privacy network ineffective. The decentralized sorter/committee design eliminates the single point of censorship by a single sorter and significantly improves the censorship resistance of packaged transactions, assuming the existence of honest participants and the validity of the protocol assumptions. Performance Roadmap While decentralization brings security, it also presents performance challenges. Currently, Ignition Chain's block generation time is approximately 36-72 seconds. Aztec's roadmap aims to gradually compress the current long block interval to around 3-4 seconds (target timeframe: end of 2026) through parallel proof generation and network layer optimization, approaching the user experience of the Ethereum mainnet. This signifies that privacy networks are moving from "usable" to "high-performance." Killer app: zkPassport and the paradigm shift in compliance Technology itself is cold until it finds an application scenario that solves real human pain points. zkPassport is more accurately described as one of the identity verification/compliance signaling tools in the Noir ecosystem. Aztec uses its circuitry in its own scenarios to perform "minimal disclosure" compliance verification, such as sanctions list checks, thereby exploring a compromise between privacy and compliance. From data collection to fact verification Traditional KYC (Know Your Customer) processes require users to upload passport photos and identification documents to centralized servers. This is not only cumbersome but also creates countless vulnerable data honeypots. zkPassport completely overturns this logic: it utilizes the NFC chip embedded in modern e-passports and government digital signatures to read and verify identity information locally through physical contact between the phone and the passport. The Noir circuit then generates zero-knowledge proofs in the user's local environment. Users can prove to applications that they are "over 18 years old," "belong to the permitted list/not on the prohibited jurisdiction list," and "have not been hit by sanctions checks," without revealing details such as their full date of birth or passport number. Protection against witch attacks and institutional access zkPassport's significance extends far beyond identity verification. By generating passport-based anonymous identifiers, it provides a robust "Sybil Resistance" tool for DAO governance and airdrop distribution, ensuring the fairness of "one person, one vote" while preventing the possibility of reverse-tracking users' real identities. In practice, these verifiable, minimally disclosed compliance signals are expected to reduce compliance friction for institutions participating in on-chain finance, but they are not equivalent to a complete KYC/AML process. Institutions can prove their compliance qualifications through zkPassport, participating in on-chain financial activities without exposing their trading strategies and fund sizes. Aztec demonstrates through this application that compliance does not necessarily mean creating a panopticon; technology can simultaneously meet regulatory requirements and protect personal privacy. Economic Model: Continuous Liquidation Auction (CCA) and Fair Distribution As fuel for decentralized networks, the issuance mechanism of the native token AZTEC itself reflects the project team's extreme pursuit of fairness. Aztec abandons the traditional issuance model that easily leads to sniping and gas fee wars, and in collaboration with Uniswap Labs, introduces the innovative "Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA)". Price discovery and anti-MEV The CCA (Clearing and Settling) mechanism allows the market to fully engage in competition within a set time window to discover the true price. During each CCA clearing cycle, trades are settled at a uniform clearing price, thereby reducing front-running and gas bidding. This mechanism effectively eliminates the profit margin for front-runners, allowing retail investors to compete on a level playing field with whales. Liquidity of the protocol What's even more innovative is that CCA achieves an automated closed loop for issuance and liquidity establishment. The auction contract can automatically inject (partial) auction procedures and tokens into the Uniswap v4 liquidity pool according to pre-disclosed parameters, forming an on-chain verifiable "issuance → liquidity" closed loop. This means that the AZTEC token has had ample on-chain liquidity from its inception, avoiding the dramatic price swings common in new coin listings and protecting the interests of early community participants. This more DeFi-native approach to issuance and liquidity bootstrapping is often used to illustrate a type of implementation path where AMMs can expand from "trading infrastructure" to "issuance infrastructure." Conclusion: Building the "HTTPS Era" of Web3 Aztec Network's ecosystem, from the underlying Noir language standard to the upper-layer zkPassport application and the Ignition Chain network, is transforming the Ethereum community's long-held vision of "HTTPS upgrade" into a usable engineering reality. This is not an isolated technical experiment, but rather echoes Ethereum-native initiatives such as Kohaku and ZKnox, jointly building a layered privacy defense system from hardware to applications. If the early development of blockchain established trustless value settlement, then the next core theme will be establishing data autonomy and confidentiality. In this process, Aztec plays a crucial infrastructure role: it doesn't attempt to replace Ethereum's transparency, but rather completes the puzzle with "programmable privacy." As the technology matures and compliance frameworks improve, we can expect a future where privacy is no longer an "additional feature" but a "default attribute"—a "private world computer" that retains the verifiability of the public ledger while respecting individual digital boundaries.

Solana Price Prediction: Key Resistance That Could Trigger a SOL Dip to $130

Solana Price Prediction: Key Resistance That Could Trigger a SOL Dip to $130

The post Solana Price Prediction: Key Resistance That Could Trigger a SOL Dip to $130 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: An expert Solana price prediction expressed fear that the SOL price could break to $130 if it fails to sustain a key support. Solana is testing the $144 level again, which has blocked its several rallies earlier. Solana Mobile revealed fresh details about its upcoming SKR token. Solana price prediction is back in focus after one expert said SOL could push into the mid-$150 if it breaks through its next major barrier. The token traded near the $137 mark following a sharp 3% dip in 24 hours, after a recent rcovery from the losses that briefly sent it down to $123 last week. That rebound has also drawn institutional traders back into the market. Solana Price Prediction: Key Resistance Levels to Watch The latest Solana price prediction comes as SOL price tested the $144 level again. This area has blocked several rallies, and the latest attempt is showing the same hesitation. Buyers pushed the price up, but the momentum is fading. Right now, $144 is firm resistance. Each time SOL reaches it, sellers step in. The market still treats this zone as an important barrier. Until price breaks above it with strength, upside movement will remain limited. If SOL price fails here, $130 is the next key support. This level helped the last rebound and is the most likely target in a pullback. The projected path on the chart also points to a slow move lower if the rejection continues. Solana price still needs a strong move above $144 to push the trend higher. If that doesn’t happen, the chart makes a pullback toward $130 a realistic possibility. Solana Price Analysis | Source: Crypto_zerro Analysts Warn a Rejection Could Send Solana Price Back to $130 Solana price is still pushing into the resistance zone around $145. The chart…

Aster 2026 roadmap unveiled with staking and L1 launch

The post Aster 2026 roadmap unveiled with staking and L1 launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aster [ASTER] launched nearly three months ago following the merger of Astherus and APX Finance. During this time, the broader crypto market has suffered significant losses as Q4 turned bearish. Yet, Aster has remained relatively steady, supported by the team’s earlier roadmap. The key question now is: what lies ahead for ASTER in 2026? Aster’s 2026 roadmap After recording early successes, AsterDex announced its 2026 roadmap. The team posited that as they advance, they will double down on infrastructure, token utility, Ecosystem, and community.  These three foundational engines will reinforce each other in a continuous cycle.  Firstly, in early December 2025, Asterdex will enact a shield mode for private high-leverage trading and TWAP strategy orders.  Building on this, mid-December 2025 will see RWA upgrade to deeper, broader stock perpetual markets. By the end of the year, the Aster chain testnet will open for community testing.  In Q1 2026, Aster will launch its Layer‑1 chain, introduce Aster Code for builders, and roll out a fiat on/off ramp.  By Q2, the project plans to begin staking, establish on‑chain governance, and release smart‑money tools that allow users to track top traders.  With these milestones, Aster aims to evolve beyond “just a DEX” and position itself as a full‑stack liquidity network. Aster burns 77.8 million tokens To achieve the 2026 goals, AsterDex has continued to stabilize Aster’s market conditions by aggressively taking deflationary measures.  In fact, after completing the S3 buyback program of 155.7 million tokens, the team executed token burn and airdrop allocations as earlier promised.  According to the official statement, 77,860,328 ASTER tokens, valued at $89.8 million, were burned, permanently removing them from circulation.  Thereafter, 77,860,328 ASTER tokens were locked, with the remaining 50% of buyback tokens transferred to the airdrop locked wallet.
