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.

How Many ADA Would It Take to Hit $1 Million?

How Many ADA Would It Take to Hit $1 Million?

The post How Many ADA Would It Take to Hit $1 Million? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cardano faces strong resistance around $1.20, and large holders recently sold nearly 30 million ADA. The new Cardano–Chainlink integration could unlock real-world data for smart contracts. At today’s price of $0.82, it would take about 1.22 million ADA to hit $1 million. Cardano has long carried the reputation of being one of crypto’s most methodical projects. Built on peer-reviewed research and heavy academic rigor, but it has also been criticized for moving too slowly compared to faster, more experimental rivals.  At its peak, ADA delivered more than a 1,200x return and the all-time high came in September 2021, when ADA hit $3.10. Since then, it has been a long, uneven ride.  As of early September 2025, ADA trades near $0.82, more than 70% below that record. However, one analyst is exploring how once the token breaks past its current ATH, it could enter discovery mode. In that case how many ADAs would be required to become a millionaire? How Many ADA for $1 Million The big question is how much Cardano an investor would need to hold to potentially reach the million-dollar mark if the next bull cycle plays out strongly. At today’s price of $0.82: around 1.22 million ADA If ADA trades at $1.20: about 833,000 ADA At the previous all-time high of $39: roughly 323,000 ADA If ADA reaches $10: an even 100,000 ADA At $15: close to 66,666 ADA, worth less than $55,000 at current prices, could equal one million dollars. Quick Reality Check: What’s Holding ADA’s Price Back? Recent blockchain data shows large holders sold close to 30 million ADA in the past week. The analyst said that moves of this size can influence the market quickly.  In addition, resistance near $1.20 continues to hold, meaning that Cardano needs stronger momentum before any sustained push higher.…

Gaia Labs enters crypto hardware race with AI-powered Web3 phone

Gaia Labs enters crypto hardware race with AI-powered Web3 phone

The post Gaia Labs enters crypto hardware race with AI-powered Web3 phone appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Web3 companies are exploring ways to move beyond apps and tokens, experimenting with hardware devices like phones and consoles that merge crypto functions with everyday tech. Gaia Labs, a decentralized AI and Web3 infrastructure company, on Tuesday announced its upcoming AI smartphone for users in South Korea and Hong Kong. Built on Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge hardware, the device runs AI models directly on the phone, letting users interact with agents without relying on cloud services. According to the company, Web3 functions include onchain identity support, a pre-loaded Gaia domain, and tools for deploying custom AI agents. Gaia joins a small group of blockchain ventures experimenting with physical devices. Over the past few years, several projects have tried fusing blockchain with mobile devices. Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, released in August its second-generation device, the Solana Seeker, claiming over 150,000 pre-orders and shipping to more than 50 countries. The company’s first mobile device, the Saga phone, was launched in 2023, featuring a built-in Seed Vault and Solana DApp store tied to the BONK tokens memecoin airdrop. Web3 entrants aren’t necessarily trying to replace big tech giants in the smartphone industry, such as Apple and Samsung. In a blog post tracing the evolution from the Saga to the Seeker, Emmett Hollyer, general manager of Solana Mobile, said their goal is to create “something entirely new: a mobile ecosystem that puts crypto users and developers first.” Pioneers in the space include Taiwanese electronics maker HTC. In October 2018, it announced the pre-sale the Exodus 1, a blockchain-powered Android device featuring a built-in hardware wallet (“Zion Vault”) and support for multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. In 2022, luxury brand Vertu launched the Metavertu, a smartphone with a dual Web2/Web3 platform, crypto wallet features, and NFT support. “The success metric isn’t market…

Linea launches Ignition rewards program to boost TVL

Linea launches Ignition rewards program to boost TVL

The post Linea launches Ignition rewards program to boost TVL appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Linea has launched its Ignition program, a new rewards system for liquidity providers on its Layer 2 network.  Summary Linea opens Ignition rewards program to the public, targeting $1B+ in TVL. Program distributes 1B LINEA tokens to liquidity providers across Aave, Euler, and Etherex. Rewards verified via Brevis ZK tech; 40% unlocks Oct. 27. As part of the initiative, announced on Sept. 2, 1 billion LINEA tokens will be distributed as incentives, with the goal of increasing total value locked. Rewards are tracked and validated using Brevis zero-knowledge proof tools, ensuring secure and transparent payouts. Driving Linea TVL growth Approved by the Linea Consortium, Ignition aims to accelerate TVL growth across DeFi protocols in the network. Linea hopes to raise more than $1 billion in TVL through the program, which ends on Oct. 26. Following weeks of closed beta testing, the rewards system is now available to all liquidity providers. Participants can earn LINEA tokens By providing liquidity to important pools on Aave (AAVE), Euler, and Etherex. Incentives are meant to reduce market stress and encourage efficient liquidity. For instance, Etherex offers greater payouts in volatile times by rewarding providers according to slippage and swap volume. To incentivize deposits in underutilized pools, rewards on Aave and Euler are computed using time-weighted vault shares and adaptive incentives. Secure rewards with Brevis ZK-proofs Brevis’ ZK Coprocessor and Pico ZKVM are used to validate all of the Ignition calculations. This ensures transparency and decentralization while preventing tampering or reliance on a central authority. The official campaign website offers weekly reward updates, and users can connect their wallets to monitor their progress. The rewards are locked until Oct. 27. After that, 40% of the tokens that have been accumulated can be claimed, and the remaining 60% unlock every day for the next 45 days.…

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. Related: PENGU token loses 20% in August amid Pudgy Party game launch Rarible exec says revenue generation sets platform apart  While previous reward program iterations from competitors showed unsustainable results, Rarible remains optimistic about its token rewards system. 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…
