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.

Moca Network Unveils MocaPortfolio With $20M in Token Allocations for MOCA and Mocaverse Holders

Moca Network Unveils MocaPortfolio With $20M in Token Allocations for MOCA and Mocaverse Holders

Moca Network, the Animoca Brands–backed project building a chain-agnostic decentralized digital identity ecosystem, today unveiled MocaPortfolio, a new program that will make approximately $20 million worth of token allocations available exclusively to MOCA Coin and Mocaverse NFT holders. The program, the team says, is designed to give the Moca community structured, ongoing exposure to projects across Animoca Brands’ wider portfolio. It is a shift away from one-off airdrops toward a vesting-based participation model. Participants in MocaPortfolio will be eligible to receive token allocations from projects in Animoca Brands’ investment and partnership portfolio, subject to vesting terms, with the first registration event slated for Q4 2025 and centered on the Magic Eden token (ME). According to the announcement, further project token allocations will be revealed over time as the program rolls out. Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: “MocaPortfolio represents an evolution in how we reward and involve our community. Rather than focusing on singular airdrop events, we are offering an ongoing, structured opportunity to share in the growth of promising projects across the Web3 landscape. This approach reflects our commitment to value creation together with the Moca community.” Kenneth Shek, project lead of Moca Network, said: “MocaPortfolio is about growing together with the projects in Animoca Brands’ portfolio, while empowering our community to build financial literacy and long-term value through active participation. MocaPortfolio serves as a new layer of value accrual for MOCA, complementing what’s to come with Moca Chain’s tokenomics and reinforcing our mission to build a sustainable digital identity ecosystem.” New and existing community members can accumulate Staking Power by staking MOCA Coin and Mocaverse NFTs on the Mocaverse staking platform. Staking Power can then be burned at the start of the first registration event to claim eligibility in the ME registration, the company said. Mocaverse NFT stakers will enjoy additional benefits, including earning-rate boosts to Staking Power and other perks, intended to reward longer-term engagement. Why it Matters MocaPortfolio marks a deliberate pivot from the traditional, one-time airdrop model toward an ongoing, vested rewards framework that ties community incentives to the long-term fortunes of Animoca Brands’ portfolio projects. For MOCA holders, the program could mean recurring, structured access to token allocations rather than one-off windfalls, an arrangement the Moca team says is intended to foster financial literacy and encourage longer-term participation. The first token in the pipeline, Magic Eden’s ME token, already has a public track record: the ME ecosystem token launched in December 2024 and has since been integrated into marketplace and staking experiences across Magic Eden’s cross-chain product suite. Animoca’s decision to include ME as the inaugural registration token links MocaPortfolio’s debut to an ecosystem token that many in the NFT community already recognize. Moca Network is positioning itself as a privacy-preserving, chain-agnostic identity layer, offering tools for identity verification, reputation and interoperability across Web3 apps and traditional enterprises. As the identity ecosystem created by Animoca Brands, Moca Network is able to draw on a broad portfolio of Web3 investments and partners. Animoca’s corporate materials describe the wider group as having over 570 portfolio companies and claim the potential to reach more than 700 million addressable users through integrations and partner platforms, a scale that Moca Network says it will tap into as it rolls out identity infrastructure and token utility. Here is what to watch next: Q4 2025 — First registration event for ME via MocaPortfolio (participants will burn Staking Power to gain eligibility). Future rounds — Animoca Brands says additional token allocations from its portfolio will be announced; MocaPortfolio is described as an ongoing conduit rather than a single campaign. Moca Chain developments — MocaPortfolio is explicitly positioned to complement Moca Chain’s forthcoming tokenomics and the broader identity infrastructure that the project is rolling out. MocaPortfolio is Animoca Brands’ attempt to convert community loyalty and on-chain identity engagement into structured, vested upside across its investment portfolio. For MOCA Coin holders and Mocaverse NFT owners, the program promises a new, ongoing channel of participation, one that ties staking, utility and community membership to curated token allocations rather than isolated giveaways.

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.
