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.

AI Names Maxi Doge as Next 1000x Crypto

The post AI Names Maxi Doge as Next 1000x Crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market is heating again as $BTC hit a new all-time high of $125K during the weekend so it’s a great time to start looking for new crypto opportunities. Dogecoin is one of the winners from the recent crypto upturn – it has increased by 140% over the last year to a current price of, and looks set for a breakout after showing steady overall growth since hitting a low in April. We’ve asked ChatGPT which upcoming crypto is best placed to benefit from Dogecoin’s upcoming breakout, and the answer is clear: It’s Maxi Doge ($MAXI). We’ll delve into why Dogecoin could surge in the next few months, as well as why $MAXI could potentially increase by 1000x as a result. Let’s get into it. ChatGPT Predicts Dogecoin Price According to ChatGPT, Dogecoin is currently experiencing a rally due to a combination of technical, market sentiment, and on-chain factors. First, we’ve seen significant activity where whales have been buying up DOGE and withdrawing it from exchanges, thereby decreasing the circulating supply and driving up the price through scarcity. Source: Santiment Furthermore, analysts are noting that DOGE is trading in an ascending channel, with resistance around $0.28. A breakout above that level could open the door to further upside with targets in the ~$0.32–$0.34 range or even higher. Source: Dogecoin on TradingView There’s also growing talk that DOGE could see more institutional interest after Bitwise and Greyscale submitted filings to the US SEC for spot Dogecoin ETFs. The REX-Osprey DOGE ETF has already performed exceptionally well since its September debut, attracting $54 million in volume. The Dogecoin project has also announced a new network upgrade by integrating the Cardinals Index Node into its blockchain, allowing anyone to run a Dogecoin node and significantly enhancing the indexing speed for Dogecoin, thereby paving the way…

Meteora's tokenomics arrive ahead of October 23 token rollout

Meteora's tokenomics arrive ahead of October 23 token rollout

Decentralized exchange Meteora has released the economics of its upcoming MET token, just two weeks ahead of its planned liquidity generation event (LGE), scheduled for October 23. The Solana-based liquidity protocol shared details of MET in a Medium post published on Tuesday, unveiling what it calls the “Phoenix Rising Plan.” The tokenomics is meant to eliminate inflation and continuous unlocks, in tandem with the project’s promise for transparency and community participation. Meteora stated that the Phoenix Rising Plan will see all allocated MET tokens liquidated from the outset, with no vesting periods for stakeholders, except for the core team and the Meteora reserve.  ‘LGE’ will unlock all tokens for holders Meteora’s token generation event (TGE) plans to unlock 100% for all stakeholders except the team and long-term reserves. According to the published distribution details, 20% of MET will go to Mercurial stakeholders, while 15% will be distributed to users of Meteora under the platform’s LP stimulus plan. The allocation also commits 3% for launchpads and the launchpool ecosystem, 2% for off-chain contributors, 3% for Jupiter stakers stimulus package, and another 3% for centralized exchanges, market makers, and related entities.  An additional 2% will be distributed to stake-to-earn M3M3 memecoin holders. M3M3 allows users who hold memecoins to stake them and compete for fee rewards derived from liquidity pools that are permanently locked. Only the top stakers, like the top 100 stakeholders by stake size, are eligible for these rewards. Still, Meteora’s internal team and reserve tokens will be subject to long-term vesting schedules. The team will receive 18% of the total supply, which will be vested linearly over a six-year period. The Meteora reserve, accounting for 34%, will follow the same vesting period. Meteora believes this higher initial float could “break apart the low-float/high-FDV models” common in most token launches. Meteora to reconfigure airdrops through liquidity distributor MET’s launch will include a mechanism dubbed the “liquidity distributor,” where instead of early buyers receiving claimable tokens that may prompt immediate selling, recipients will receive a liquidity position that automatically earns trading fees as they gradually “sell” their airdrop exposure over time. Meteora decided to embed the distribution into liquidity pools, allowing airdrop token holders to earn yield through trading fees, rather than needing to sell tokens manually. The platform said that 10% of MET’s circulating supply will be distributed via the liquidity distributor at TGE, and participants can choose their preferred liquidity position.  According to the Solana LP, this enables the project to bootstrap liquidity for the MET debut without requiring the team to supply tokens directly. Liquidity will come from the community, which will also benefit from trading revenue and fees. “This will lead to high volume (fees) for our LP Army and Launch Pool, and lays the foundation for Meteora in the future,” the team stated. Meteora hits $200 billion cumulative DEX volume The 24-hour trading volume of Meteora was $358.1 million, up 35.9% from the previous day, according to statistics from CoinGecko. In addition, data from DefiLlama shows that the platform has made almost $208.7 billion since its start in February 2023 and $30.5 billion in the past 30 days. Among other DEXs, it ranks seventh in total value locked (TVL) with $706.54 million, $300 million less than sixth-place Balancer. Meteora has listed over 840 coins, including wrapped Solana (wSOL), wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), and popular memecoins such as Official Trump and Popcat.

Andrey Fedorov on TON’s future

Andrey Fedorov on TON’s future

The post Andrey Fedorov on TON’s future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice. The content and materials featured on this page are for educational purposes only. At TOKEN2049 Singapore, STON.fi Dev’s Andrey Fedorov shared how swaps, liquidity aggregation, and the Omniston protocol are shaping TON into a scalable blockchain ecosystem. Summary STON.fi is building infrastructure to make swaps on TON faster, fairer, and more reliable, ensuring users get smooth execution without dealing with fragmented liquidity. The Omniston protocol aggregates liquidity across TON, simplifying developer integration and enhancing user experience while fostering healthy competition among DEXs. With TON scaling rapidly through Telegram mini-app adoption, STON.fi is positioning itself to support cross-chain liquidity and launch community-driven governance via a DAO. At TOKEN2049 in Singapore, we sat down with Andrey Fedorov, CMO and CBDO of STON.fi Dev, to talk about the future of infrastructure on the TON blockchain. With a background in building user-focused financial products and driving ecosystem growth, Fedorov shared his insights on swaps, liquidity aggregation, and the role of Omniston in making TON more scalable and developer-friendly. Our conversation explored how STON.fi is positioning itself at the center of TON’s rapid expansion. For someone just discovering TON through Telegram, why should they care about infrastructure like swaps and liquidity aggregation, and what problem would they actually feel without it? That’s a great question, because for most people, infrastructure sounds invisible. But here’s the thing: if you try to swap tokens and it takes forever, or you get a bad price, or the transaction fails, that’s when you feel it. Without strong infrastructure, the experience becomes frustrating really fast. What we’re building with STON.fi is the engine that makes sure those issues don’t happen. Ideally, users don’t think about what’s happening behind the scenes, they just get smooth swaps and fair prices. And there’s another angle…
