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.

3% Allocation to JUP Stakers via LP NFTs

3% Allocation to JUP Stakers via LP NFTs

The post 3% Allocation to JUP Stakers via LP NFTs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Meteora is stirring the Solana community with a controversial proposal: to allocate 3% of the TGE fund to JUP stakers, not in regular tokens but in Liquidity Position NFTs. This novel approach promises to bootstrap deep liquidity for MET from day one, yet it raises questions about fairness and concentration risk. Will this be a savvy move to bridge the two communities, or will it ignite a prolonged debate? 3% Allocation for JUP Staker As BeInCrypto reported, Meteora is preparing for a TGE in October. The platform floated one of the community’s most notable proposals ahead of MET’s TGE.  Sponsored Sponsored Under the plan, the project intends to allocate 3% of the TGE fund to Jupiter’s JUP stakers as Liquidity Position NFTs. Specifically, Meteora would use the 3% to seed MET liquidity in a Single-Sided DAMM V2 pool, then allocate positions to Jupiter stakers based on time-weighted staking, amount, and voting activity. The objective is to create MET/USDC liquidity at listing without immediately adding more MET to the circulating supply. The proposal also emphasizes that “no additional tokens circulating will be added due to this proposal.” This is a “liquidity-first” approach rather than a direct token payout. Meteora’s Co-Lead, Soju, published a public calculation to visualize scale. According to Soju, roughly 600 million JUP are currently staked. A 3% allocation would equal 30 million MET tokens. That works out to about 0.05 MET per staked JUP. “I think its reasonable,” Soju shared. A user on X ran some napkin math and produced a similar figure of ~0.05035 MET/JUP depending on FDV assumptions. The per-JUP reward is small but aggregated at scale, so it can serve as a meaningful incentive to convert users into MET liquidity providers. MET airdrop for JUP stakers.

Celestia Upgrade Matcha Cuts Inflation — Can TIA Turn Deflationary?

Celestia Upgrade Matcha Cuts Inflation — Can TIA Turn Deflationary?

The post Celestia Upgrade Matcha Cuts Inflation — Can TIA Turn Deflationary? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Celestia is entering a pivotal stage with two fundamental changes: the Matcha upgrade and the proposed Proof-of-Governance (PoG).  These technical improvements and a restructuring of tokenomics could transform TIA from a highly inflationary token into a potentially deflationary asset. With rising community expectations and a rapidly expanding ecosystem, the question is: Can TIA break out strongly in the coming years? Sponsored Sponsored Matcha: Technical upgrade and supply tightening According to Celestia’s official announcement, the Matcha upgrade will increase block size to 128MB, optimize block propagation, and improve performance under proposal CIP-38. More importantly, the CIP-41 proposal reduces annual inflation from around 5% to 2.5%, directly tightening TIA’s circulating supply. This change makes TIA more attractive to long-term investors and strengthens its role as a potential collateral asset in DeFi. Inflation rate over time for Celestia. Source: Celestia Beyond supply dynamics, Matcha also expands available “blockspace” for rollups, removes token-filter barriers for IBC/Hyperlane, and positions Celestia as the central data availability (DA) layer for other chains. This lays the foundation for new revenue streams, as DA fees from rollups could be channeled to support TIA’s value in the future. PoG: The path toward a deflationary token? The next highlight is the Proof-of-Governance (PoG) proposal. According to Kairos Research, PoG could lower annual issuance to just 0.25% — a 20x reduction from current levels. With such a sharp drop in issuance, the revenue threshold required to push TIA into net-deflationary status becomes very low. “Our analysis shows that TIA can potentially transition from an inflationary token to a deflationary, or near zero-inflation asset under the right conditions,” Kairos Research noted. Some experts argue that even DA fees alone may be enough to push TIA into deflationary territory. Adding new revenue streams, such as an ecosystem stablecoin or revenue-generating DATs, could “completely flip…
