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.

Coinbase’s Base Explores Issuing Network Token

Coinbase’s Base Explores Issuing Network Token

The post Coinbase’s Base Explores Issuing Network Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase’s Base is exploring the possibility of issuing a native network token, marking a major shift in strategy. The announcement came during the “State of Base” livestream at BaseCamp in Stowe, Vermont. Coinbase’s Base-Solana Bridge Strengthen Push for Open Connectivity During the livestream session, Jesse Pollak, Head of Protocols at Coinbase and creator of Base, shared new updates. He said the network has entered the early stages of examining how a token could further decentralize the chain and involve its growing community. This move comes after repeated denials in the past that Coinbase or Base would issue such an asset. Pollak linked the change in stance to evolving U.S. policies under the Trump administration, which may provide a more relaxed environment for token launches. Regulation remains a central factor in the exchange’s plans. Coinbase recently challenged the SEC in court claiming the regulator deleted Gary Gensler’s texts regarding important enforcement actions. Meanwhile, no details were revealed about when the token might arrive, its governance structure, or how it would be distributed. Pollak emphasized that the team intends to build the process in the open, involving the community at every stage. He acknowledged speculation about whether early users, builders, or even Coinbase shareholders could benefit from an airdrop, but stopped short of confirming plans. The remarks drew immediate attention across the crypto community, with many predicting that the potential token could become one of the biggest airdrops of 2025. Base Plans Solana Bridge, Showcases Ecosystem Growth Alongside the token exploration, Base plans to introduce a new bridge to Solana. According to Pollak, the bridge represents the crucial milestone on the way to developing a global economy that is interconnected through chains. The base executive also said collaboration between chains is key to the future of crypto, positioning Base as an advocate…

Dragonfly’s Haseeb proposes holder scores, crowdsales to replace current airdrop model

Dragonfly’s Haseeb proposes holder scores, crowdsales to replace current airdrop model

The post Dragonfly’s Haseeb proposes holder scores, crowdsales to replace current airdrop model appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi proposed a reputation system to reward users on token distributions through airdrops. On a Sept. 15 post via X, he shared a reform plan to filter airdrop farmers who dump tokens immediately after launches. Qureshi responded to Aztec CMO Claire Kart’s critique that airdrops “tank your chart” and provide “lazy alignment” by drawing parallels to IPO allocation methods. Companies offer institutional investors like BlackRock preferential pricing because these firms demonstrate long-term holding patterns, while retail investors pay market prices due to unpredictable behavior. Qureshi stated: “It’s crazy that token distributions don’t work this way.” He advocated for meta-incentives based on users’ historical token behavior rather than platform-specific metrics. Holder score framework The Dragonfly partner proposed standardized holder scores tracking token retention curves, governance participation, fee spending, liquidity provision, and product usage across multiple protocols. Projects would publish these scores in JSON format, enabling other teams to incorporate reputation data into distribution decisions. Qureshi argued that this creates accountability across the ecosystem. Users who know about future airdrops consider their holding history when modifying their behavior toward long-term commitment rather than immediate selling. Credit bureaus operate similarly, with financial institutions sharing customer data to encourage responsible behavior. The framework recommended limiting free airdrops to under 15% of total token generation events while selling the majority through score-tiered crowdsales. Better holder scores receive larger allocations at lower prices, while mercenary farmers pay full price or receive no access. Crowdsale advantages Qureshi stated that the proposal addresses fundamental airdrop problems by requiring skin in the game. Users paying for tokens create committed holder bases versus recipients of free money seeking immediate exits. Crowdsales also provide built-in sybil resistance, as creating thousands of farming accounts becomes economically prohibitive. He acknowledged airdrops remain useful for pay-for-performance scenarios requiring specific measurable…

Base Now “Exploring” a Network Token – Is a Massive Airdrop Imminent?

Base Now “Exploring” a Network Token – Is a Massive Airdrop Imminent?

Base, the Ethereum Layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase, is shifting its stance on tokenization. At BaseCamp 2025 in Stowe, Vermont, Base creator Jesse Pollak said the project is “beginning to explore” the launch of a network token, marking a reversal from Coinbase’s long-held position that no token was planned. The exploration of a network token comes on the heels of Linea’s token generation event last week, which saw Consensys’ Layer-2 network distribute more than 9.3 billion LINEA tokens to eligible users. The launch sparked speculation that Base could pursue a similar path, though Coinbase has stressed that no decisions have been made. Coinbase Considers Token Path After Linea’s $LINEA Airdrop Pollak emphasized that Base remains in the early stages of exploration, with no specifics yet on design, governance, or timing. “Base is a bridge, not an island,” he said during the livestreamed event, showing the network’s vision of deeper connectivity within the Ethereum ecosystem. While the project cautioned that there are “no definitive plans” for a token, it described the shift as part of a broader philosophical update, seeking to accelerate decentralization and expand opportunities for builders and creators. Launched in 2023, Base was designed as a secure, low-cost, developer-friendly chain. Until now, Coinbase has argued that a token was not necessary to achieve those goals. However, with the network’s recent milestones, such as sub-second, sub-cent transactions and a growing developer ecosystem, leaders say they are rethinking their approach as Base positions itself to play a central role in a global on-chain economy. Alongside the token discussion, Base announced new initiatives at BaseCamp. One update was the debut of an open-source bridge between Base and Solana, intended to allow seamless interoperability between ERC-20 and SPL tokens. The bridge, now live on testnet, will allow users to move assets across chains, deposit and use SOL in Base applications, and expand liquidity for both ecosystems. It is expected to launch on the mainnet in the coming weeks. Base also unveiled updates to its builder programs and products. The second round of Base Batches, set to begin on September 29, will provide funding, mentorship, and global distribution to developers, culminating in a demo day at Devconnect in Argentina. Meanwhile, the Base app, an “everything app” combining social networking, payments, trading, and app discovery, has drawn over 1 million people to its waitlist since its invite-only beta in July. According to the project, more than $500,000 in creator earnings have already been paid out through the platform. Base Hits $5B TVL, Weighs Token Plans Amid Network Milestone The tokenization announcements come as Base reaches a new milestone in adoption. According to DeFiLlama, the network’s total value locked (TVL) recently hit an all-time high of $5.06 billion before falling to $4.99 billion earlier in the day, making it the sixth-largest blockchain by TVL. Lending protocols Morpho and Aave account for more than 60% of that figure, while stablecoins on the network hold a combined market capitalization of $4.3 billion. Base also recorded over 971,000 active addresses in 24 hours, with $21.1 billion in bridged assets. However, Coinbase’s Base network faced its first major disruption on August 5, when block production halted for over 30 minutes. The outage temporarily affected deposits, withdrawals, and Flashblocks functionality. Base later confirmed the cause was a failed sequencer handover within its high-availability cluster. As on-chain activity spiked, the active sequencer fell behind, prompting an automated system called Conductor to shift control to a backup. The handoff failed because the new sequencer was still being provisioned, leaving the network unable to produce blocks until the team manually intervened. The incident comes as Base experiences record adoption. The network recently overtook Solana in daily token launches, with more than 54,000 new tokens created on July 27. Since the relaunch of its app, which integrates platforms like Zora and Farcaster, Base has seen 1.6 million tokens deployed and nearly 3 million traders generating around $470 million in volume. However, in recent months, Base has continued to expand its infrastructure. At ETHDenver in February, it unveiled Flashblocks to reduce block times to 200 milliseconds, Base Appchains for high-traffic dApps, and Smart Wallet Sub Accounts to simplify user onboarding. The network also acquired the development team behind privacy-focused project Iron Fish to enhance its zero-knowledge capabilities

Coinbase’s Layer 2 Base Teases Native Token

Coinbase’s Layer 2 Base Teases Native Token

The post Coinbase’s Layer 2 Base Teases Native Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading Base ecosystem tokens are surging as traders speculate on a $BASE airdrop. Jesse Pollak, founder of the Ethereum Layer 2 network Base, which is backed by Coinbase, has hinted at a potential native token launch for the first time since the Base mainnet launched in August 2023. Pollak dropped the news at Basecamp 2025, a conference for creators, builders, and Base community members held in Stowe, Vermont. During his “State of Base” talk, Pollak spoke on the importance of user alignment and decentralization and said, “We’re going to be exploring a network token for Base.” He clarified that it’s “very early” but added, “We think this could be a really, really powerful tool for building the global economy that all of us believe in.” The Base token has been an elusive but highly speculated-on topic, with traders and investors thinking of it as a proxy for a “Coinbase token”, but there has been little to no information regarding a token launch until now. Base is the largest Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, and the sixth-largest chain by total value locked (TVL) with $5 billion locked in DeFi. Ethereum is the leader by a landslide with $93 billion, while Solana is the second largest with $12.7 billion. Leading Base ecosystem tokens are soaring following the announcement, with AERO up 9%, ZORA up 15%, and DEGEN, the Farcaster community token, up 10% on the day, while majors such as BTC and ETH are down between 0.5% and 2.5%. Base Ecosystem Tokens – CoinGecko While Ethereum Layer 2 tokens have garnered a bad reputation over the last two years due to poor post-TGE token performances from the likes of Arbitrum, Optimism, and Blast, Base has continued to gain market share while its competitors fizzle out. “A token would unlock billions of dollars in…

Top 13 Telegram games to play in September 2025

Top 13 Telegram games to play in September 2025

The post Top 13 Telegram games to play in September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Telegram has steadily evolved from a messaging app into one of the most active hubs for crypto communities, and games have become a major part of that shift. Over the past year, mini-games powered by bots have grown into an ecosystem of their own, mixing casual gameplay with real incentives. From simple tap mechanics to strategy-driven worlds, these games are designed to be played instantly within the app, without the friction of downloads or heavy setups. For many users, the appeal lies in the combination of entertainment and opportunity that includes earnable tokens, NFTs, and leaderboard rewards layered on top of accessible gameplay. With new titles launching every month, Telegram is no longer just a platform for group chats and updates; it’s also a proving ground for the next wave of play-to-earn experiences. Here’s a look at some of the standout Telegram games making waves in September 2025: 1. Egg Drop Egg Drop is the latest release from Gomble Games that was launched on the BNB Chain. Built around simple tap mechanics, the game challenges players to drop virtual eggs into target zones to unlock items, bonuses, and token rewards. What makes Egg Drop stand out is its balance between casual fun and blockchain-backed incentives. While the gameplay is light and accessible, players can also earn tokens and blockchain rewards, adding a tangible layer of value to their progress. The straightforward design makes it easy to get started, while the rewards system encourages longer engagement, giving Egg Drop a place among Telegram’s fast-growing tap-to-earn titles. 2. DOGS DOGS takes a different approach to Telegram gaming by leaning into internet culture as much as gameplay. Built around the popularity of dog memes, the project combines humor, community interaction, and cryptocurrency rewards into one ecosystem. Rather than relying only on tap-to-earn mechanics,…
