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.

Rarible Launches New NFT Marketplace With Buyback Rewards Model

Rarible Launches New NFT Marketplace With Buyback Rewards Model

The post Rarible Launches New NFT Marketplace With Buyback Rewards Model appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Rarible launched a redesigned trading platform on Tuesday and rolled out a new system that directs transaction fees into token buybacks.  Rarible told Cointelegraph that the model, which redistributes tokens to active traders, is intended to create a sustainable alternative to earlier NFT marketplace incentive schemes that relied on fixed token allocations.  “Previous designs in the NFT marketplace ecosystem were not sustainable,” Anna Riabokon, head of operations and governance at the RARI Foundation, told Cointelegraph. “They heavily incentivized traders with unsustainable levels of redistribution, only to dry up when their allocations from the token distribution were exhausted.”  Riabokon told Cointelegraph that with the new model, the RARI Foundation will direct all revenue generated from platform transaction fees “back into the hands of the traders.” She claimed this essentially creates a “fee-free” marketplace.  Previous NFT marketplace attempts at token rewards Other NFT marketplaces have experimented with reward programs, often relying on token incentives to boost trading activity.  In 2023, Blur dominated NFT volumes using a points-based system that rewarded traders with future token airdrops. However, while the strategy quickly attracted liquidity, it also fueled wash trading methods, where users bought and sold NFTs back and forth to maximize airdrop rewards without genuine market demand.  NFT platform LooksRare also launched a similar approach, distributing its token to traders as part of an emissions schedule. While the model briefly boosted volumes, much of the activity fell sharply once token rewards lost value.

Riabokon told Cointelegraph: “Unlike other marketplaces, Rarible generates revenue from licensing its software to brands such as Mattel and…

Pump.Fun Announces Major Upgrades As PUMP Rallies Over 10%

Pump.Fun Announces Major Upgrades As PUMP Rallies Over 10%

The post Pump.Fun Announces Major Upgrades As PUMP Rallies Over 10% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pump.fun’s PUMP token surged over 10% today after a new update announcement. “Project Ascend” hopes to boost the launchpad’s entire ecosystem with a reimagined creator fee system. Although the platform attempted to roll out creator fees a few months ago, the program had major setbacks, which Project Ascend is trying to address. The main change revolves around a tiered system linked to token market caps. Sponsored Sponsored Pump.Fun is Upgrading the PUMP Ecosystem Pump.fun’s PUMP token faced major setbacks throughout much of August, but it has seen a major rebound in the last few days. Several factors, like user activity on Pump.fun, have fueled this recovery, but a fresh update announcement could push it even higher. Pump.fun (PUMP) Price Performance. Source: CoinGecko Sponsored Sponsored According to a recent social media post, a series of updates is coming for the whole ecosystem. “Project Ascend” will focus on creator fees, incentivizing users to launch their own meme coins. Although the platform tried a similar plan a few months ago, it received heavy community criticism. Now, however, Pump.fun is planning to update this program with a tiered system. The Inverse Tier Approach Dynamic Fees V1 will yield progressively lower rewards to creators as their launched tokens get a higher market cap, encouraging smaller products to stand out. The platform hopes to encourage an “exponential increase in talent onboarding,” boosting the whole ecosystem. This structure applies to all PumpSwap tokens, while protocol and LP fee allocations remain unchanged. Pump.fun’s update also includes a community application process to report projects and cancel creator fees, hopefully deterring bad actors. Still, although PUMP responded well to the announcement, the community also voiced some concerns. Pump. Fun’s promised airdrop still hasn’t happened, and the Project Ascend update sets very ambitious goals. Sponsored Sponsored How can this tiered fee system be fiscally…

$27M Gone in Seconds: Venus Protocol User Hit by Phishing Attack

$27M Gone in Seconds: Venus Protocol User Hit by Phishing Attack

The post $27M Gone in Seconds: Venus Protocol User Hit by Phishing Attack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Rumors spread fast in crypto. Yesterday, whispers of an exploit on Venus Protocol sent shockwaves across X. At first, some thought the lending protocol itself had been breached. But hours of joint analysis cleared the air, Venus wasn’t hacked. Instead, a phishing attack snared a whale, draining $27 million in assets with one bad transaction. This wasn’t a protocol failure. It was human error. And it’s a stark reminder of DeFi’s biggest weakness: one careless click can wipe out a fortune. The victim approved a malicious transaction from a fake site. That single signature gave the attacker’s burner wallet, 0x7fd8…202a, unlimited access to his tokens. Once approval was granted, the attacker struck instantly. Assets vanished in seconds. According to Cyvers Alerts 🚨ALERT🚨27M suspicious transaction has been detected involving a user of @VenusProtocol on the #BNBChain The user unknowingly approved a malicious transaction, granting token permissions that resulted in the loss of $27M in digital assets.

Pudgy Penguins’ New Mobile Game Tops Apple Store Charts

Pudgy Penguins’ New Mobile Game Tops Apple Store Charts

The post Pudgy Penguins’ New Mobile Game Tops Apple Store Charts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The NFT company continues to gain popularity with a mainstream audience. Pudgy Penguins’ new mobile game, Pudgy Party, has skyrocketed up the iOS mobile app store rankings to become the top-ranked mobile racing app in the Apple Store. Pudgy Party was released just three days ago on Aug. 29, and features six different game modes where users can play solo or multiplayer to climb leaderboards and earn in-game skins. Pudgy Party – Apple App Store The non-fungible token (NFT) brand’s IP coverage has been consistently expanding since CEO Luca Netz acquired the brand in 2023, with its physical toys featured in Walmart and Amazon, a children’s book deal with Random House, and now a mobile game. The Pudgy Penguins NFTs remain one of the profile picture (PFP) space’s premium assets, and the collection changes hands at a 9.95 ETH ($42,700) floor price, after briefly surpassing a 30 ETH floor in anticipation of the PENGU token airdrop in December. PENGU is up 2% on the day to $0.029, or a $2.3 billion fully diluted valuation (FDV). The token is still down more than 30% from its July all-time high, but is up 660% from its April lows.

Gaia Launches AI Phone That Runs Entirely On-Device

Gaia Launches AI Phone That Runs Entirely On-Device

The post Gaia Launches AI Phone That Runs Entirely On-Device appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Editorial Note: The following content does not reflect the views or opinions of BeInCrypto. It is provided for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as financial advice. Please conduct your own research before making any investment decisions. Gaia today announced the launch of the Gaia AI Phone, the world’s first smartphone designed for complete AI sovereignty.  Built on Galaxy S25 Edge hardware and launching initially in Korea and Hong Kong, the device processes AI entirely on-device while operating as a full network node, eliminating the cloud dependency that defines current AI assistants from Apple, Google, and other major technology companies Unlike traditional AI assistants that send user data to remote servers for processing, the Gaia AI Phone runs sophisticated AI inference—the process of applying trained AI models to generate responses and perform tasks—locally through the company’s proprietary Gaia AI Platform. Each phone operates as a full Gaia network node, contributing computational resources to the decentralized AI infrastructure while earning token rewards for providing inference capacity to other network participants. “Every major tech company is putting AI on phones the same way – your data goes to their cloud, gets processed on their servers, and they control the experience,” said Matt Wright, CEO of Gaia. “We’ve proven that sophisticated AI can run entirely on your device while transforming users from AI consumers into active infrastructure owners who earn rewards for network participation.” This launch represents the first in a series of major Gaia announcements planned for Q3 and Q4 2025, as decentralized AI emerges as a critical alternative to centralized control over artificial intelligence. The company is positioning itself at the forefront of the decentralized AI movement, demonstrating that users can maintain complete control over their AI experience while participating in a growing ecosystem of AI sovereignty tools and…

$PEPENODE Launches First-Ever Mine-to-Earn Meme Coin Presale

$PEPENODE Launches First-Ever Mine-to-Earn Meme Coin Presale

The post $PEPENODE Launches First-Ever Mine-to-Earn Meme Coin Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Now there’s a newcomer that builds on the Pepe legacy, but adds something crucial: utility. By holding Pepenode ($PEPENODE), you can jump into a fully gamified crypto mining system, build out virtual rigs, and earn multi-layered rewards without needing hardware or tech skills. In a market full of passive tokens and wishful thinking, Pepenode offers a more interactive way to HODL with purpose. It’s no wonder, then, that the $PEPENODE presale has already pulled in over $546K. Crypto Mining Made Fun and Simple Pepenode takes holders into a fully kitted server room where you can purchase virtual miner nodes and facilities. These nodes generate hash power, which is used to simulate mining activity in a completely gamified environment. And the more nodes you own and the more you upgrade, the more $PEPENODE rewards you can earn. What makes this experience different from the usual model is the emphasis on interactivity. Instead of passively locking or staking tokens until the presale is over, you can get started on building out your custom mining rigs and optimize performance – right from the get go. Big Benefits For Early Adopters Earn More Pepenode is built to reward early participation. To begin with, the miner nodes purchased during the presale have higher mining efficiency. In other words, early users get more hash power for the same price. At the time of writing, the staking APY was around 3,022%. But APY is dynamic – it is adjusted over time based on the number of tokens staked across the network. In other words, the earlier you join, the higher the APY. Visit the official Pepenode website to explore the presale dashboard. Off-chain Now, On-chain Later In the presale stage, all mining takes place off-chain, enabling users to start earning before the token even launches. This makes…
