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.

Polymarket CMO confirms POLY token and airdrop plans amid U.S. relaunch

The post Polymarket CMO confirms POLY token and airdrop plans amid U.S. relaunch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polymarket Chief Marketing Officer Matthew Modabber confirmed the prediction market platform will launch a native POLY token and accompanying airdrop following the company’s planned U.S. app rollout.  Speaking on the Degenz Live podcast, Modabber said the project’s leadership has been deliberate in timing the token release to ensure “true utility, longevity, and permanence.”  His remarks followed earlier hints from founder Shayne Coplan, who suggested a token launch was in progress in a post on X. Polymarket’s renewed U.S. focus comes after regulators permitted the firm to resume operations in the country, which had been suspended in 2022 amid legal uncertainty.  “Why rush a token if we need to prioritize the U.S. app?” Modabber said, emphasizing that the airdrop and broader token rollout would follow once the relaunch is complete. The confirmation solidifies months of speculation that Polymarket would reward its most active users. Community members anticipate allocations based on trading volume, a model similar to those used by decentralized exchanges and derivatives protocols.  Modabber, on the podcast, praised the Hyperliquid team and noted that teams that take the right approach will be around “forever.” He added that his team is focused on a successful launch focused on longevity.Bloomberg previously reported that Polymarket is pursuing new funding that could value the firm as high as $15 billion, following earlier investments by Intercontinental Exchange and Founders Fund.

Polymarket CMO confirms airdrop and looks to Hyperliquid token for inspiration

Polymarket CMO confirms airdrop and looks to Hyperliquid token for inspiration

It’s official: Polymarket will launch a token and airdrop a portion to its users, and it’s looking to Hyperliquid for inspiration.That’s according to Matthew Modabber, the prediction market’s chief marketing officer, who confirmed the news during an interview on the Degenz Live podcast on Thursday.“There will be a token, there will be an airdrop,” he said, adding that the firm wants the token to have utility and to “be around forever.”The announcement caused a wave of excitement in crypto circles. But users will have to wait a while before the token launches.“Right now our core priority is launching in the US and making a big splash there,” Modabber said. “After we take care of business on the US app and US launch there will be a focus on the token.”US relaunchIn recent months, Polymarket has pushed to relaunch in the US after pulling out of the country in 2022 amid regulatory uncertainty. In July, Polymarket acquired QCX, a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-licensed derivatives exchange, for $112 million. In early September, the regulator granted a no-action letter to the exchange, paving the way for Polymarket to start offering its services in the US again.The return comes at a critical time for the firm. Rival prediction market Kalshi, already serves customers in the US. It briefly overtook Polymarket in trading volume in September due to an increase in sports betting on the platform.The two platforms are now neck and neck, but that could change if Polymarket’s US launch helps draw in more bettors. Hyperliquid praise The excitement surrounding the Polymarket token is palpable. But it’s not clear what function it would serve.Many investors view crypto tokens as a proxy for a stake in the product they represent — especially those that claim to be decentralised and use tokens for governance voting. What’s more, Polymarket already has many private investors who own equity in the company. Earlier this month, Intercontinental Exchange, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, invested $2 billion in the prediction market, valuing it at approximately $8 billion.Modabber didn’t reveal any specific details as to what the token would do, but praised perpetual futures exchange Hyperliquid for its token launch, “Teams like Hyperliquid who really thought it through will be around forever as a result.”Hyperliquid launched its HYPE token in November 2024. It distributed 31% of the supply to users, an unusually high percentage compared to other crypto airdrops. The HYPE token is one of the best performing crypto assets in recent years, soaring some 512% since its launch.Tim Craig is DL News’ Edinburgh-based DeFi Correspondent.

Polymarket CMO confirms POLY token launch and airdrop

PANews reported on October 24th that according to The Block, Matthew Modabber, Chief Marketing Officer of prediction market platform Polymarket, confirmed the platform will launch its native POLY token and conduct an airdrop. Speaking on the Degenz Live podcast, he stated, "We will launch the token and airdrop, but the key is to do it thoughtfully. We hope the token will be practical and long-lasting. That's what we and the industry expect." However, Polymarket is currently focused on launching its US app. Earlier this month, founder Shayne Coplan hinted at the POLY token launch. Coplan confirmed in September that the platform had been "approved to relaunch" after a regulatory suspension in the US in 2022. Modabber stated that the US app launch would be the priority, with no rush for the token. Once it launches, he will focus on the token launch and ensuring its smooth completion. Telecom giants are also on the list.
