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.

$27M Gone in Seconds: Venus Protocol User Hit by Phishing Attack

$27M Gone in Seconds: Venus Protocol User Hit by Phishing Attack

The post $27M Gone in Seconds: Venus Protocol User Hit by Phishing Attack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Rumors spread fast in crypto. Yesterday, whispers of an exploit on Venus Protocol sent shockwaves across X. At first, some thought the lending protocol itself had been breached. But hours of joint analysis cleared the air, Venus wasn’t hacked. Instead, a phishing attack snared a whale, draining $27 million in assets with one bad transaction. This wasn’t a protocol failure. It was human error. And it’s a stark reminder of DeFi’s biggest weakness: one careless click can wipe out a fortune. The victim approved a malicious transaction from a fake site. That single signature gave the attacker’s burner wallet, 0x7fd8…202a, unlimited access to his tokens. Once approval was granted, the attacker struck instantly. Assets vanished in seconds. According to Cyvers Alerts 🚨ALERT🚨27M suspicious transaction has been detected involving a user of @VenusProtocol on the #BNBChain The user unknowingly approved a malicious transaction, granting token permissions that resulted in the loss of $27M in digital assets.

Just like that. The Wild Part: Venus Was Never Hacked Venus Protocol confirmed on X Update: we are in direct contact with the victim of the phishing attack, and the protocol will remain paused while we try to recover his funds. Venus was not exploited, but we are committed to protecting our users. If the protocol resumes now, the hacker gets the user’s funds. https://t.co/441ncPEbla — Venus Protocol (@VenusProtocol) September 2, 2025 that their contracts were safe. The frontend? Fine.

Pudgy Penguins’ New Mobile Game Tops Apple Store Charts

Pudgy Penguins’ New Mobile Game Tops Apple Store Charts

The post Pudgy Penguins’ New Mobile Game Tops Apple Store Charts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The NFT company continues to gain popularity with a mainstream audience. Pudgy Penguins’ new mobile game, Pudgy Party, has skyrocketed up the iOS mobile app store rankings to become the top-ranked mobile racing app in the Apple Store. Pudgy Party was released just three days ago on Aug. 29, and features six different game modes where users can play solo or multiplayer to climb leaderboards and earn in-game skins. Pudgy Party – Apple App Store The non-fungible token (NFT) brand’s IP coverage has been consistently expanding since CEO Luca Netz acquired the brand in 2023, with its physical toys featured in Walmart and Amazon, a children’s book deal with Random House, and now a mobile game. The Pudgy Penguins NFTs remain one of the profile picture (PFP) space’s premium assets, and the collection changes hands at a 9.95 ETH ($42,700) floor price, after briefly surpassing a 30 ETH floor in anticipation of the PENGU token airdrop in December. PENGU is up 2% on the day to $0.029, or a $2.3 billion fully diluted valuation (FDV). The token is still down more than 30% from its July all-time high, but is up 660% from its April lows.

Gaia Launches AI Phone That Runs Entirely On-Device

Gaia Launches AI Phone That Runs Entirely On-Device

The post Gaia Launches AI Phone That Runs Entirely On-Device appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Editorial Note: The following content does not reflect the views or opinions of BeInCrypto. It is provided for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as financial advice. Please conduct your own research before making any investment decisions. Gaia today announced the launch of the Gaia AI Phone, the world’s first smartphone designed for complete AI sovereignty.  Built on Galaxy S25 Edge hardware and launching initially in Korea and Hong Kong, the device processes AI entirely on-device while operating as a full network node, eliminating the cloud dependency that defines current AI assistants from Apple, Google, and other major technology companies Unlike traditional AI assistants that send user data to remote servers for processing, the Gaia AI Phone runs sophisticated AI inference—the process of applying trained AI models to generate responses and perform tasks—locally through the company’s proprietary Gaia AI Platform. Each phone operates as a full Gaia network node, contributing computational resources to the decentralized AI infrastructure while earning token rewards for providing inference capacity to other network participants. “Every major tech company is putting AI on phones the same way – your data goes to their cloud, gets processed on their servers, and they control the experience,” said Matt Wright, CEO of Gaia. “We’ve proven that sophisticated AI can run entirely on your device while transforming users from AI consumers into active infrastructure owners who earn rewards for network participation.” This launch represents the first in a series of major Gaia announcements planned for Q3 and Q4 2025, as decentralized AI emerges as a critical alternative to centralized control over artificial intelligence. The company is positioning itself at the forefront of the decentralized AI movement, demonstrating that users can maintain complete control over their AI experience while participating in a growing ecosystem of AI sovereignty tools and…

ChainGPT Pad Announces Debut of its Buzz System, Set to Turn Social Hype Into Token Allocation

ChainGPT Pad Announces Debut of its Buzz System, Set to Turn Social Hype Into Token Allocation

The post ChainGPT Pad Announces Debut of its Buzz System, Set to Turn Social Hype Into Token Allocation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Disclaimer: The below article is sponsored, and the views in it do not represent those of ZyCrypto. Readers should conduct independent research before taking any actions related to the project mentioned in this piece. This article should not be regarded as investment advice. ChainGPT Pad, the launchpad and incubation hub of the AI-powered Web3 infrastructure provider, has announced the unveiling of Buzzdrops and Initial Buzz Offerings (IBOs). According to the announcement released today, the new campaign formats power the brand-new Buzz system by ChainGPT. Buzz is designed to transform how Web3 projects engage their communities and distribute tokens. The launch of Buzzdrops and IBOs follows the platform’s plans to address the challenges that come with traditional airdrops, which often suffer from bot activity and low-quality participation. At the same time, IDOs raise capital but generate little organic traction ahead of TGE.  To remediate these challenges, Buzzdrops and IBOs tie allocations directly to verifiable social impact, rewarding users for authentic engagement on X (Twitter) and other tasks. Advertisement &nbsp Following its design, Buzz uses a performance-based scoring system where every post, share, referral, or engagement task translates into Buzz Points. Notably, points are tracked on live leaderboards, and token allocations are distributed proportionally at a snapshot. Among its numerous features are some of these major ones, which are Daily Quests where participants can tweet, stake, read updates, or complete campaign tasks to earn extra XP. Another key feature is the leaderboard rankings, which allow participants to reach the top and boost their share of rewards. Additionally, the platform offers a referral system that allows users to access custom referral links, earning a percentage of their referees’ Buzz and staking points, as well as their campaign spend. Other key features include quality bonuses and fair distribution. Nonetheless,…

$PEPENODE Launches First-Ever Mine-to-Earn Meme Coin Presale

$PEPENODE Launches First-Ever Mine-to-Earn Meme Coin Presale

The post $PEPENODE Launches First-Ever Mine-to-Earn Meme Coin Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Now there’s a newcomer that builds on the Pepe legacy, but adds something crucial: utility. By holding Pepenode ($PEPENODE), you can jump into a fully gamified crypto mining system, build out virtual rigs, and earn multi-layered rewards without needing hardware or tech skills. In a market full of passive tokens and wishful thinking, Pepenode offers a more interactive way to HODL with purpose. It’s no wonder, then, that the $PEPENODE presale has already pulled in over $546K. Crypto Mining Made Fun and Simple Pepenode takes holders into a fully kitted server room where you can purchase virtual miner nodes and facilities. These nodes generate hash power, which is used to simulate mining activity in a completely gamified environment. And the more nodes you own and the more you upgrade, the more $PEPENODE rewards you can earn. What makes this experience different from the usual model is the emphasis on interactivity. Instead of passively locking or staking tokens until the presale is over, you can get started on building out your custom mining rigs and optimize performance – right from the get go. Big Benefits For Early Adopters Earn More Pepenode is built to reward early participation. To begin with, the miner nodes purchased during the presale have higher mining efficiency. In other words, early users get more hash power for the same price. At the time of writing, the staking APY was around 3,022%. But APY is dynamic – it is adjusted over time based on the number of tokens staked across the network. In other words, the earlier you join, the higher the APY. Visit the official Pepenode website to explore the presale dashboard. Off-chain Now, On-chain Later In the presale stage, all mining takes place off-chain, enabling users to start earning before the token even launches. This makes…

About Vader Yapping And How To Maximise Virgen Points on Virtuals!

About Vader Yapping And How To Maximise Virgen Points on Virtuals!

Vader AI is an AI-native platform by Virtual Protocol, that builds and manages autonomous agents operating in DeFi, social engagement, and investment markets. These agents make real-time decisions independently, optimizing strategies without human input. Users stake the $VADER token to access early agent offerings and participate in governance, shaping the platform’s future. The system uses deflationary tokenomics, with fees buying back and burning $VADER, rewarding long-term holders. Launched in late 2024 on the Base blockchain, Vader AI combines machine learning with decentralized finance to create a smarter, autonomous ecosystem where users can earn, invest, and govern alongside AI agents. The estimated $VADER staking APY is an impressive 712%, though it can vary based on several factors! As a $VADER staker, you earn Virgen Points, exclusive agent airdrops, and other perks! The APY increases when Genesis Agents and airdropped and the agents gain value, when more agents are added to the airdrop pool, when fewer $VADER tokens are staked, or if the $VADER price drops! Keep in mind, this calculation only covers confirmed airdrops so far — more will be added as demand to join our spaces grows, potentially boosting rewards even further. Embraced the future of agentic economy and staked 40k $VADER tokens for one year! The Vader Yapping went live, and about 2% of Virgen Points are awarded to Virtuals Yappers! This category includes those who talk about Virtuals, Virtual Agents including $VADER, Virgen Points, and related keywords. An additional 1% of Virgen Points will be allocated specifically to VADER Yappers, coming from the Vader Points portion. This means when you talk about $VADER, you’ll be eligible for both the 2% Virtuals Yapping rewards and the 1% Vader Yapping rewards. But the rewards don’t stop there. Recognizing the effort creators put in, VADER Yappers will also share 20% of the $VADER staker airdrop reward pool. The current airdrop pool includes 1% of tokens like $SOLACE, $AXR, $BIZ, $ARBUS, $BOOKIE, and others, plus 3% of $NAINCY, $SWARM, and $WAKEAI. Can’t say no to all that alpha, and can’t miss an opportunity to yap about Virtuals! Ticked all the boxes, as I had over 10,000 $VADER staked for 360 days and joined the yapping program! You will see me around anon… you will see me yapping! To qualify, you need to connect your X account on our website, sign up on Kaito Yaps if you haven’t already, stake at least 10,000 $VADER for 12 months, tag $VADER or Vader_AI in your posts, and actively participate in yapping. Here’s how VADER Yapping works in a nutshell. The Yapping algorithm combines two main factors: the User Score and Post Score, weighted 70% and 30% respectively. User Score measures your social value, focusing on smart followers and engagement rather than easily gamed metrics like likes or retweets. They lean heavily on Kaito “mindshare score,” which tracks quality interactions. But since many registered users don’t have any yaps yet, we also pull data from ArbusAI’s score, which similarly values smart followers. Your User Score is an average of both. Post Score evaluates the quality and relevance of your posts, but manually reviewing every post isn’t realistic. So, we built and trained an AI-powered Yap Evaluator Agent to score posts automatically. It’s still learning but improving steadily. Over time, Post Score’s importance will grow to reward content quality more. There are some additional minor multipliers and caps, and the whole system is evolving. Rewards might fluctuate at first as they will fine-tune for fairness. Residual Income: Claim your Zerion XP!
