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.

Creditors Respond to Claims That “FTX Didn’t Actually Go Bankrupt”

Creditors Respond to Claims That “FTX Didn’t Actually Go Bankrupt”

The post Creditors Respond to Claims That “FTX Didn’t Actually Go Bankrupt” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sunil, representing FTX creditors, stated in a statement that the recovery rate creditors can achieve in “actual crypto value” ranges from 9% to 46%. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried recently claimed that all creditors had received over 100% recovery. According to Sunil, this rate could actually be even lower due to the current high levels of crypto prices. Sunil stated that despite the nominal 143% payout to be made as part of FTX’s bankruptcy process, creditors “will not be able to fully recover their losses” in actual crypto value. Sunil also stated that additional recovery could be achieved through airdrops by certain projects to FTX creditors outside of the bankruptcy process. He explained that Paradex has already airdropped tokens to FTX creditors, and that other projects are expected to follow suit. Sunil made the following statement: The actual crypto recovery rate in the FTX bankruptcy is between 9% and 46%. However, due to high crypto prices, this is likely lower. I’ve observed a tendency in some circles to protect scammers and attack projects that help creditors. Additional recovery will come from airdrops projects will make to FTX creditors. FTX creditors are currently the most valuable community for projects. *This is not investment advice. Follow our Telegram and Twitter account now for exclusive news, analytics and on-chain data!

Sunil: FTX creditors' actual crypto asset recovery rate is only between 9% and 46%.

PANews reported on November 2nd that Sunil, a representative of FTX creditors, stated on the X platform that the actual recovery rate of FTX creditors' crypto assets is between 9% and 46%, and due to the current high price of cryptocurrencies, the actual recovery value may be even lower. Even if the nominal payout ratio reaches 143%, the converted crypto asset value still cannot allow creditors to "fully recover their principal." Additional recovery will come from airdrops to FTX creditors by some projects (these airdrops occur outside of the bankruptcy proceedings). Paradex has already distributed airdrops to FTX creditors, and more projects are expected to follow suit.

Romanian regulator blacklists Polymarket over licensing issues

Romanian regulator blacklists Polymarket over licensing issues

The post Romanian regulator blacklists Polymarket over licensing issues appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading prediction platform Polymarket has been blacklisted by Romania’s National Office for Gambling (ONJN). According to the Romanian regulator, the prediction website has been operating in the country, carrying out gambling activities without an active license from the required agency. “The decision to include Polymarket on the blacklist is not related to technology, but to the law,” ONJN President Vlad-Cristian Soare said in a statement. “Regardless of whether you bet in lei or crypto, if you bet money on a future result, under the conditions of a counterpart bet, we are talking about gambling that must be licensed.” Soare added that the regulator will not allow platforms to use the transformation of blockchain into a screen to carry out illegal betting activities. Launched in 2020, Polymarket is a polygon-based prediction market with its headquarters in Manhattan, New York. It allows individuals to place bets on future events, including economic indicators, awards, and political and legislative outcomes. The platform allows users to deposit USDC through the Polygon blockchain network. The platform became more popular after it accurately predicted Donald Trump as the winner of the United States presidential elections. It accrued over $3.3 billion in wagers on the election. Romanian regulator blacklists Polymarket According to the Romanian regulator, while it understands that Polymarket is often regarded as an “event trading platform” and meets the definition of what it considers a “counterparty betting,” users still put up stakes against other users, and a future event determines the outcome. “Accepting the idea that a ‘counterparty betting’ system can be called ‘trading’ would create a dangerous precedent, whereby any operator could ‘reinterpret’ the counterparty betting activity as a stock exchange activity – circumventing strict gambling or capital markets regulations,” the regulator wrote. The Romanian regulator was particularly concerned about the increased prediction market activity…

MetaMask Sparks MASK Frenzy

MetaMask Sparks MASK Frenzy

MetaMask’s recent move to register the mask domain sent ripples across the crypto ecosystem, instantly changing how traders and speculators perceive one of the industry’s more enigmatic tokens. When Polymarket odds for a successful mask claim leapt from 19% to 44% in just 48 hours, it was obvious someone with deep conviction, and perhaps privileged information, was repositioning in a major way. The timing was everything. This surge came right after MetaMask launched its 87-day rewards campaign, a catalyst that set off a flurry of activity among whales and retail investors alike. But the real action isn’t in trading MASK as just another governance or airdrop lottery ticket. There’s a deeper game being played, revealed in both script mechanics and strategic partnerships. ConsenSys, the company behind MetaMask, began offering users a 2x multiplier for transactions routed through Linea, its own zkEVM layer. This is a clear signal that infrastructure and user flow through Linea are paramount, as higher multipliers reward users for deepening network entrenchment rather than merely speculating on token price. Simultaneously, the quiet ascension of the MUSD stablecoin on the m0 protocol may be the true “real play” here. As MetaMask pushes 30 million monthly users across the DeFi ecosystem, the infrastructure takes on greater significance than any governance token could. Money is not simply spraying into another speculative asset; instead, untold millions are now funneled into revenue-generating infrastructure where the fees, spreads, and on-chain utility compounds month after month. As large campaigns and domain deals bring MetaMask to more users, the narrative has shifted from airdrop speculation to pure play infrastructure. Massive user numbers coupled with meaningful rewards for actual protocol use are driving organic liquidity into the m0 and musd ecosystem, offering a compelling case that stablecoins and multipliers, not governance coins, are where the next wave of value will crystallize. This isn’t just about who controls the $mask ticker anymore, it’s about controlling the pipes that move all that on-chain value.

Depin Darwinism: Helium Sinks $400K, Render Roars, and Grass Faces Extinction: Why This Crypto…

Depin Darwinism: Helium Sinks $400K, Render Roars, and Grass Faces Extinction: Why This Crypto…

Depin Darwinism: Helium Sinks $400K, Render Roars, and Grass Faces Extinction: Why This Crypto Sector Is Entering Survival Mode Crypto’s depin sector, short for decentralized physical infrastructure networks, is showcasing spectacular volatility as the market sorts winners from the hype. Projects like Helium, Render, Grass, and Hivemapper are all fighting for dominance in a fast-evolving landscape where actual utility — not just future promises — will separate the future blue chips from soon-to-be roadkill. Helium, once the darling of wireless decentralization, is burning through $400,000 every single week in “mobile revenue.” That figure isn’t just a rounding error; it means 100% of its mobile onboarding revenue vanishes into HNT emissions. The consequence? Helium effectively sets money on fire to attract what now stands at 500,000 mobile signups. With a market cap of $448 million, this looks less like sustainable business and more like an attention-grab with expensive party favors. The network’s economics right now are all about subsidizing demand without clear conversion to long-term, fee-generating usage. Critics are asking whether Helium is burning cash just to keep numbers climbing, even if those numbers don’t translate into lasting network value. Meanwhile, Render stands apart with a $1.2 billion market cap. It commands serious attention as an AI and graphics compute marketplace. But the big question haunting buyers is the elusive revenue share dynamics. Unlike Helium, Render promises to connect creators with GPU owners at scale, yet almost nobody outside core insiders can explain exactly how much flows back to token holders, let alone the actual percentage split between node operators, token stakers, and the project treasury. For now, Render enjoys more speculation than clear revenue streams. Grass, a bandwidth-sharing project once hyped for building the “data backbone of AI,” is in freefall. Grass is down 90% amid a looming 72% dilution event scheduled for tomorrow. The selloff suggests holders are bailing before another flood of tokens hits the market, crushing any hopes of recovery. Dilution remains a notorious killer in the crypto space, turning small investor stakes into dust overnight and halting all organic price discovery. On a brighter note, Hivemapper, known for its dashcam-powered global mapping, has surged 74% off the back of several enterprise partnership announcements. The project claims these new deals will bring real corporate money and actual adoption. But zoom out, and you see that global coverage only stands at 36%. The problem with such networks is coverage gaps equal lost value. While the price is pumping, there’s still skeptical chatter about whether even aggressive enterprise onboarding can overcome the inertia of incomplete global mapping. Stepping back, depin as a sector faces a reckoning. Most tokens are still just betas for infrastructure where revenue is theoretical and the user base is more promise than reality. Only one project in the ecosystem boasts genuine users actively paying fees that actually create network-wide deflationary effects, a milestone long promised, rarely achieved. That project’s ability to deliver true revenue-generating utility sets it apart from the rest of the field, where nearly every other token still survives on the hope that 2028 will deliver a global killer app, not just more testnets and speculation. In short, depin is entering a Darwinian phase. Cash burn headlines. Massive dilution. Unclear revenue sharing. These are not symptoms of a healthy market but growing pains of an ecosystem finally forced to prove itself. Speculators once rode token airdrops and narrative pumps. Now, only networks that convince actual users to pay actual fees are poised to become tomorrow’s infrastructure giants.
