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.

Venus Protocol restores all services, recovers funds stolen after $27M exploit

Venus Protocol restores all services, recovers funds stolen after $27M exploit

The post Venus Protocol restores all services, recovers funds stolen after $27M exploit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BNB Chain lending platform Venus Protocol resumed full operations after an exploit on Tuesday forced an emergency vote to suspend withdrawals and liquidations. The platform confirmed later that it had restored services and recovered the $27 million worth of digital assets compromised in the incident. The disruption began when Venus identified suspicious activity linked to a phishing scam, which was also flagged by several cybersecurity firms. As reported by Cryptopolitan, blockchain analysts had mentioned irregular transactions in the platform’s Core Pool Comptroller contract, which routes user assets vUSDC and vETH. Venus called for an emergency vote to pause services in order to limit losses and allow security teams to assess whether the exploit compromised Venus’ infrastructure.  Although users were unable to withdraw or liquidate positions during the hiatus, the protocol partially restored some functionality later the same day for them to repay debt and supply funds, actions that helped them protect their positions until normal operations could resume. Venus Protocol’s proposed plan for restoration approved Venus Protocol proposed a plan to its community to determine the immediate steps for handling the crisis. The four-stage plan was outlined as follows: partial restoration within five hours, recovery of stolen funds within seven hours, a full security review within 24 hours, and the eventual resumption of all services once checks were completed. Voting ended at around 5 PM UTC, with the community voting “100% to proceed,” the protocol announced. “We are so thankful for your support, and will proceed with the execution,” the team wrote on X. By 9:58 PM UTC, Venus confirmed that the plan had been completed successfully.  “Venus Protocol has been fully restored, withdrawals and liquidations resumed. The lost funds have been recovered under Venus’ protection,” the platform said. Update: Venus Protocol has been fully restored (withdrawals and liquidations resumed)…

How Crypto Assets Bootstrap Their Way to Billions

How Crypto Assets Bootstrap Their Way to Billions

Crypto assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana derive value not from physical backing but from scarcity, trust, and network incentives. Much like gold or tulips in history, their worth is shaped by collective belief and perceived future value. Bitcoin’s fixed supply, security through mining, and decentralization reinforce its role as a store of value, while newer assets bootstrap adoption with incentives like ICOs and airdrops. Ultimately, crypto’s value emerges from the interplay of technology, trust, and human behavior.

Gaia Labs enters crypto hardware race with AI-powered Web3 phone

Gaia Labs enters crypto hardware race with AI-powered Web3 phone

The post Gaia Labs enters crypto hardware race with AI-powered Web3 phone appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Web3 companies are exploring ways to move beyond apps and tokens, experimenting with hardware devices like phones and consoles that merge crypto functions with everyday tech. Gaia Labs, a decentralized AI and Web3 infrastructure company, on Tuesday announced its upcoming AI smartphone for users in South Korea and Hong Kong. Built on Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge hardware, the device runs AI models directly on the phone, letting users interact with agents without relying on cloud services. According to the company, Web3 functions include onchain identity support, a pre-loaded Gaia domain, and tools for deploying custom AI agents. Gaia joins a small group of blockchain ventures experimenting with physical devices. Over the past few years, several projects have tried fusing blockchain with mobile devices. Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, released in August its second-generation device, the Solana Seeker, claiming over 150,000 pre-orders and shipping to more than 50 countries. The company’s first mobile device, the Saga phone, was launched in 2023, featuring a built-in Seed Vault and Solana DApp store tied to the BONK tokens memecoin airdrop. Web3 entrants aren’t necessarily trying to replace big tech giants in the smartphone industry, such as Apple and Samsung. In a blog post tracing the evolution from the Saga to the Seeker, Emmett Hollyer, general manager of Solana Mobile, said their goal is to create “something entirely new: a mobile ecosystem that puts crypto users and developers first.” Pioneers in the space include Taiwanese electronics maker HTC. In October 2018, it announced the pre-sale the Exodus 1, a blockchain-powered Android device featuring a built-in hardware wallet (“Zion Vault”) and support for multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. In 2022, luxury brand Vertu launched the Metavertu, a smartphone with a dual Web2/Web3 platform, crypto wallet features, and NFT support. “The success metric isn’t market…
