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.

Nevertheless, still sharing here as I thought that it’s interesting: – Token buyback spending has reached over $1.4b across 28… pic.twitter.com/bpufFxCBNy — Bobby Ong (@bobbyong) October 22, 2025 Hyperliquid (HYPE), one of the most popular perpetual DEXes of 2025, is the biggest player here, with almost 50% of total buyback volume. The leader is followed by LayerZero (ZRO), a cross-blockchain communication protocol. After holding one of the most anticipated airdrops ever, LayerZero (ZRO) initiated over $150 million in buybacks. Pump.fun (PUMP), Solana’s dominant meme coin no-code launcher, bought back 3% of the total PUMP supply, having spent $138 million in 2025. GMX, another decentralized exchange for perps, despite being only the 11th largest buyback project by volume, repurchased 13% of the GMX circulating supply. A significant portion of these tokens was redistributed among the community, data says. Raydium (RAY) and Jupiter (JUP), two dominant Solana DEXes, are also among active buyback…

Solana Saga Loses Security Updates and Support Following Seeker Phone Rollout

Solana Saga Loses Security Updates and Support Following Seeker Phone Rollout

The post Solana Saga Loses Security Updates and Support Following Seeker Phone Rollout appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Solana Saga devices are no longer receiving software updates and security patches. The product’s support lifecycle lasted just more than two years, far less than devices from Apple and Google. Solana Mobile’s focus has shifted to the Seeker, its second-gen mobile phone that will eventually get an ecosystem token. Solana Mobile is discontinuing support for the Solana Saga smartphone and will no longer offer software updates for the first-generation crypto handset, the firm announced on Monday.  As a result, new software updates and security patches will not be provided for the 20,000 Saga devices that were produced, with support only handling “general inquiries” moving forward.  “Software updates and security patches are no longer provided for Saga devices,” a community manager in the Solana Mobile Discord community said on Monday. “Thanks to all our Saga users for being part of the journey.”  The firm also thanked Saga holders on its website, adding that their feedback was “invaluable in shaping the next chapter of Solana Mobile.” The Saga was last upgraded to Android 14, first released in 2023, and its final security update is from November 2024. Solana first released the Saga—an Android phone with baked-in crypto features like a secure seed vault and a decentralized app store—in April 2023 to limited fanfare. But the phone earned a rush of demand later that year after airdrops tied to the phone surged in value, providing holders with potentially thousands of dollars in rewards. Now it’s essentially obsolete in just over two years—far less time than the marker used by Apple to characterize its mobile devices as “vintage” or obsolete, which only happens after more than seven years from release. Google similarly offers seven years of software support for its Pixel phones, while Samsung has matched that window for some devices.…

Blending playfulness, generosity, and NFTs with Yucky Ducks

Blending playfulness, generosity, and NFTs with Yucky Ducks

The post Blending playfulness, generosity, and NFTs with Yucky Ducks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are unique digital assets that are stored on a blockchain and represent the ownership of a physical or digital item. NFTs are widely popular for their one-of-a-kind nature, but one of the most prominent issues has been their lack of use cases. The Yucky Ducks NFTs will offer holders unique benefits, including entry into the Golden Yuckpot — a holders-only tier within the project’s perpetual giveaway — as well as access to community events, exclusive airdrops, merchandise discounts, and charitable donations.The project fuses art, humor, and community spirit with real-world impact. What is Yucky Ducks? Yucky Ducks aims to spread good times, kindness, and giving across the Web3 ecosystem, thereby uniting the joy of collecting with opportunities to win, share, and support others. Yucky Ducks NFTs are forged in a world that is chaotic, messy, and unpredictable; the Yucky Ducks don’t just survive but also thrive in this world. They see fun and joy, embracing the imperfections in a world that sees filth, stains, and mud.  Each Yucky Duck NFT sale helps fund the ecosystem’s community pool — supporting giveaways, collaborations with other artists, and donations to charities selected by the winners. Kinny Peterkin, the founder of Yucky Ducks, said, “We’re not here just to mint art – we’re here to build a culture of playful messiness and generosity,” adding that “when you waddle with us, you’re part of something bigger—a community that collects, collaborates, and gives back.” Community at the core: The Waddle The Waddle is the name given to their community, which is the heart of the brand. It is not just a group of people but a movement of those who understand that mess isn’t something to run away from, rather it is something to celebrate. There are 2 layers of membership in…
