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.

Turning zero-value MEME into valuable resources? How does Junk.Fun use a destruction mechanism to save your 0.002 SOL?

Turning zero-value MEME into valuable resources? How does Junk.Fun use a destruction mechanism to save your 0.002 SOL?

Junk.Fun is a Solana MEME recycling platform supported by @bonk_inu and incubated by @MantaNetwork. Users can destroy "zeroed-out MEME, passively received garbage airdrops, and NFTs" on Junk.Fun in exchange for SOL. After destruction, users will receive Credits on Junk.Fun. Credits have two usage paths: 1) Direct withdrawal: You will receive 0.002 SOL in your wallet, which should belong to you, from "zeroed MEME, passively received junk airdrops, and NFTs". 2) Open Junk.Fun chests to win more SOL, physical prizes (such as iPhones), NFTs, and other rewards in future airdrops. During the first month of the campaign, Junk.Fun will be giving away at least $50,000 in prizes. The following is a detailed tutorial and explanation of the underlying principles. 1/ Go to https://www.junk.fun/?ref=EE9BW. Connect to your Solana wallet in the upper right corner. 2/ The bottom shows the five main functional modules of Junk.Fun, which are: 1) Junk Destruction 2) Chest 3) Rewards 4) Points integration 6) Referral 1) Junk Destruction First, click "Destroy Junk". As shown in the image below, you will see details of your MEME and NFT holdings, including passively received zero-drops. Click on the token on the left, then click on Trash Junk to destroy it on the right to obtain Credits. Currently, some MEMS do not directly display token abbreviations and logos; this feature is under development. Additionally, tokens such as $USDT, $USDC, $TRUMP, and $PENGU have been added to a whitelist to prevent accidental destruction. After destruction, as shown in the image, you will receive Credits and Points. Credits are actually the SOL retrieved after destroying the MEME and NFT. Points, to some extent, affect the probability of obtaining the rarity of treasure chests. 2) Chest Open the treasure chest on the Chests page to receive corresponding rewards. Click WIN IN LOTTERY to participate in the lucky draw and win even bigger rewards. There is a 46% chance of winning a prize in the lucky draw; Opening a legendary treasure can earn you up to 60% of the total prize pool. 3) Rewards Enter this page to participate in the lucky draw. During the first month of the event, Junk.Fun will be giving away at least $50,000 in prizes. 4) Referral You can view the invitation code on the referral page, invite more friends, earn more points, and increase your chances of winning big prizes. Solana Account Rental Mechanism Explained Did you know that every time you receive a junk airdrop in your Solana wallet, it will deduct 0.002 SOL from your account? That's right, this is Solana's account rental mechanism. Some of you might be wondering, "I wasn't charged any rental fees when I created my Solana address." Okay, before understanding the Solana account mechanism, let's distinguish between the concepts of address and account. In the Solana architecture, an account is not the same as an address. Solana addresses are free to create, can receive assets, sign transactions, and do not occupy on-chain storage. This is crucial; it doesn't consume on-chain storage. When will "rent" be charged? It will be when on-chain storage is used. How is on-chain storage usage calculated? Let's say someone transfers USDC to you. The Solana system needs to create a "USDC Token" account, at which point 0.002 will be deducted from your SOL balance as a rental fee. Once the account is created, the USDC will be credited to your account. Another common scenario is passively receiving junk coin airdrops. The system automatically creates a junk coin token account for you and deducts 0.002 SOL as rent. Your wallet has more junk airdrops, but your SOL has decreased. Therefore, the relationship between an address and an account is similar to having multiple accounts under your name, each receiving different tokens. Each account requires a 0.002 SOL rental fee. However, in many cases, opening an account is involuntary. The image below, created by Solscan, shows the status of the MEME token SBAE, where SOL Balance 0.002039 represents the rental fee. Although the USDC page does not display SOL Balance, the Owner Program is a Token Program, meaning that rent still needs to be paid. Why is there a "rent"? In fact, this is to prevent state explosion, similar to a DDoS attack, and to prevent someone from maliciously issuing tokens infinitely on the blockchain. In reality, in order to reduce the costs of normal project airdrops and to make it a system where whoever benefits pays, many spam MEME creators have instead used this to fabricate fake token-holding address data. Junk.Fun's essence is to help users recover passively deducted SOL rental fees.

Sui Name Service launches NS airdrop for early DAO voters

Sui Name Service launches NS airdrop for early DAO voters

The post Sui Name Service launches NS airdrop for early DAO voters appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Early Sui Name Service supporters are waking up to a fresh surprise as the network’s core identity project rewards its most engaged members. Summary SuiNS distributed 7.6 M $NS tokens to 95K early DAO voters. Rewards were issued as staked tokens with added voting power. The airdrop reinforces SuiNS’s role in building onchain identity. Early contributors to Sui Name Service are receiving a major governance boost through a newly launched retroactive airdrop. The update was announced by Sui Name Service in a statement published on Oct. 31, 2025. Airdrop rewards over 95,000 early voters The decentralized naming protocol built on the Sui (SUI) blockchain has distributed about 7.6 million NS tokens to more than 95,000 eligible addresses. The rewards, equal to the combined pools of the last five governance proposals, were sent as staked tokens, granting recipients enhanced voting power from the moment they were received. The program rewards community members who took part in SuiNS DAO proposals from November 2024 to June 2025. Allocation was determined by the number of participants, consistency, and the date of a voter’s earliest proposal. The earlier and more consistently a member voted, the greater their governance weight. Unlike most airdrops, there’s no claim or transaction step required. Tokens are already visible on the SuiNS voting portal at vote.suins.io, removing gas costs and phishing risks entirely. Strengthening identity and governance on Sui Launched in 2024, Sui Name Service links wallet addresses to social identity and governance by converting them into human-readable “.sui” domains.  It has developed into a key identity layer that powers DAO voting, organisation pages, and decentralised profiles. Staking incentives, sub-name communities, and integrations with SuiPlay and Cetus (CETUS) decentralized exchange are some of the platform’s recent updates. Additionally, holders are eligible to participate in future identity-based reward programs and discounted premium…

Xandeum DAO Takes Over Rewards Governance After Season 4

Xandeum DAO Takes Over Rewards Governance After Season 4

The post Xandeum DAO Takes Over Rewards Governance After Season 4 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Las Vegas, NV – Oct. 30, 2025: Xandeum, Solana’s scalable, smart contract-native storage layer, today announced the handover of its rewards mechanism governance to the Xandeum DAO, marking a pivotal shift toward full community control. This transition follows the completion of Reward Season 4 on October 29, 2025, capping a year of automated quarterly distributions that rewarded participants across staking, liquidity provision, node operations, and ecosystem engagement. Since the $XAND token listing on Oct. 29, 2024, Xandeum has operated its rewards program on a structured, autopilot basis through four three-month seasons. Over this period, the ecosystem distributed significant incentives to foster network security, storage provision, and participation. Key highlights include: Liquid Staking Rewards: Participants staking SOL for xandSOL earned yields combining traditional block rewards with emerging storage fees, reaching a peak total value locked (TVL) of $8 million and an average 15% APY. A six-week intensive program in late 2024 alone distributed over 34 million $XAND tokens. DAO Staking: Locking $XAND for 30+ days yielded a consistent 16% APY, with quarterly claims boosting governance influence and long-term alignment. Liquidity Pool: Providers contributing SOL/$XAND to liquidity pools earned trading fees supplemented by bonus $XAND rewards, incentivizing market depth and ecosystem participation. Points Rewards: A points-based system tracked community activities – such as social engagement, quests, and platform interactions – for leaderboard rankings and eligibility for $XAND airdrops. Node Operations: Devnet validators (vNodes) and storage providers (pNodes) received allocations from the Xandeum Foundation Rewards Program (XFRP) and Delegation Program (XFDP). Early pNode adopters will benefit from optional NFT multipliers, including recent Titan NFTs offering up to 11x boosts on future storage income (STOINC) on mainnet. These mechanisms supported Xandeum’s core infrastructure milestones, including the Herrenberg release for real-time pNode monitoring, a live on-chain storage prototype enabling read/write/delete operations, and strategic partnerships to…

During its 48-hour pre-launch period, it accumulated over 20,000 active addresses. The prize pool comes from the SOL rewards generated by the reclaimed rewards, as well as the initial rewards provided by Manta and Bonk. Each season lasts one week, and the prize pool for the first season is currently estimated at $40,000. Junk Fun expects the prize pool to grow significantly next week as the season progresses.

Upcoming Meme Coins: Noomez Leads 2025

Upcoming Meme Coins: Noomez Leads 2025

The post Upcoming Meme Coins: Noomez Leads 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Discover why Noomez ($NNZ) stands out among upcoming meme coins in 2025 with its deflationary presale, fixed supply, and transparent tokenomics. The crypto market is gearing up for a fresh wave of meme coins, and traders are already discussing which new projects will lead it.  While names like Dogecoin and Pepe continue to dominate social chatter, a new contender has entered the scene: Noomez ($NNZ).  With its presale now live and early traction building, Noomez is quickly being viewed as one of the upcoming meme coins that could define 2025. Noomez integrates structure, measurable progress, and token security into its system.  Its 28-stage presale, automatic burn rules, and transparent tracking make it stand out in a crowded market. Market Outlook – Why New Meme Coins Are in Focus As of late October 2025, Bitcoin trades around $110,790.78, and Ethereum has stabilized around $$3,930.17. Large-cap assets are holding firm, but traders looking for exponential returns are turning to presale projects with smaller caps and transparent roadmaps. Historically, meme coins have led some of the biggest rallies in each bull run. But many fail to sustain value once the initial hype fades. That’s where Noomez separates itself.  Its model is based on code, not emotion. Every supply change, burn, and reward is automated and visible on-chain through the Noom Gauge, a live tracker that marks each presale stage as it completes. This combination of verifiable transparency and fixed mechanics is what’s drawing investor attention away from random launches and toward Noomez ($NNZ). Inside the Noomez Presale – How It Works The Noomez presale is divided into 28 stages, each lasting up to 7 days or until sold out. Every stage has: A fixed price that increases progressively from $0.00001 to $0.0028. A capped supply, meaning no tokens can spill over…
