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.

This is a 1,352% rise since 2021. Source: X According to Lookonchain, Tether and Circle have minted $11.75 billion worth of USDT and USDC in the past month alone! $1 billion USDT was printed only this week. Source: X There is strong on-chain demand and liquidity across crypto markets, and these are hardly the conditions of a bearish phase. Stablecoins are tokenization’s strong proof of concept Stablecoins have emerged as crypto’s first product with mass-market appeal. They are used daily by consumers, businesses, banks, and even governments. Every transaction drives demand for blockspace, turning stablecoins into the backbone of on-chain activity. The supply spans multiple chains from Ethereum [ETH] and Tron [TRX] to Solana [SOL] and Base [BASE]. Source: X As BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets, Robbie Mitchnick, put it, “The bear case for tokenization is that only stablecoins work.

Monad’s star project aPriori faces airdrop scandal days before mainnet launch

Monad’s star project aPriori faces airdrop scandal days before mainnet launch

The post Monad’s star project aPriori faces airdrop scandal days before mainnet launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Journalist Posted: November 11, 2025 Key Takeaways What happened with the aPriori airdrop? On-chain data revealed that newly created wallets received 60% of aPriori’s $APR token distribution on 23 October. How does this scandal affect Monad’s upcoming mainnet launch? The controversy threatens Monad’s mainnet launch and $MON token sale on Coinbase because aPriori was designed to handle $MON staking. Monad’s highly anticipated mainnet launch faces its first major crisis.  aPriori, a $30 million-funded liquid staking protocol set to launch as a Day 1 application, now stands accused of orchestrating one of crypto’s most blatant insider airdrops. The dump that rocked Monad Blockchain analytics firms Bubblemaps and Lookonchain exposed suspicious wallet activity surrounding aPriori’s $APR token distribution on 23 October.  On-chain data, as of 11 November, reveals that 14,000 newly created wallets claimed 60% of the total airdrop allocation. The data shows that the wallets mysteriously appeared just days before the public claim window opened. Source: Bubblemaps These wallets followed an identical pattern. They claimed their tokens, dumped them immediately, and went silent. $APR’s market cap crashed from $300 million to $93 million within weeks—a devastating 69% collapse that wiped out millions in value.  As of this writing, the market capitalization is approximately $57 million, according to CoinMarketCap data. “Insiders farmed the drop and left real users with crumbs,” community member @doge9899 wrote on X. “aPriori locked small allocations behind vesting cliffs while the big bags walked free.” Source: X The timing couldn’t be worse for Monad. The Ethereum rival recently announced its mainnet launch for 24 November 24, with a $MON token public sale scheduled for 17 November on Coinbase at $0.025 per token.  Radio silence fuels the fire aPriori’s response amplifies community frustration. The team has gone completely silent since the scandal broke.  Founder Ray Song hasn’t posted on…

The analysis and opinions expressed are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Decrypt. Subscribe to the Morning Minute on Substack. GM! Today’s top news: Crypto majors fall overnight; BTC -1% at $104,800 Coinbase unveils Coinbase Token Sales ICO platform, will host MON sale Monad shared tokenomics and public sale details for MON ($2.5B fdv) Uniswap plans to turn fee switch on, burn 100M UNI tokens (UNI +20%) US Treasury and IRS issue guidance to make staking easier for ETFs 🚀 Coinbase Unveils Its Own Token Launchpad, With Monad Up First And Monad stands to benefit first. 📌 What Happened Coinbase just unveiled a new “Coinbase Token Sales” platform as a regulated, transparent way for retail users to buy new tokens directly through the app. This is Coinbase effectively reintroducing public token launches to U.S. retail for the first time since the 2017 ICO boom. TLDR: The platform will host monthly sales, starting with Monad’s MON token from Nov. 17–22 Users can submit purchase requests in USDC during a one-week window, with allocations determined by a “bottom-up” algorithm that fills smaller orders first to maximize distribution. Tokens purchased will automatically be listed on Coinbase after the sale, giving projects immediate liquidity and visibility. Users who sell within the first 30 days of token launch are likely to be penalized for future distributions. This all comes after acquiring Cobie’s Echo platform for $400M just a month ago. 🗣️ What They’re Saying “We designed token sales to be the ideal way to launch – transparent, fair, and compliant.” – Coinbase blog “This is the first broad-based, retail-accessible token sale in the U.S. since 2018.” – Company statement “We’re excited to make MON our first listing, bringing Monad’s high-throughput tech to millions of new users.” – Coinbase announcement…
