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.

Vitalik Buterin Dumps New Meme Coin Batch for Ethereum

Vitalik Buterin Dumps New Meme Coin Batch for Ethereum

The post Vitalik Buterin Dumps New Meme Coin Batch for Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin has sparked reactions online after he dumped free meme coins he received for ETH. According to an update from Lookonchain, a data analytics platform, Vitalik Buterin has sold some meme coins for $96,400. The proceeds have been converted to Ethereum. Vitalik Buterin Meme Coin Dump sparks reactions The meme coins were likely airdropped to Buterin’s wallet by the creators to attract attention at the time of launch. It also makes the project appear more legitimate when associated with a notable personality like the Ethereum cofounder. Buterin has now sold the free meme coins and converted them to Ethereum, which amounts to 22.14 ETH. The move appears strategic as it signals that Buterin is more comfortable storing value in ETH than keeping the meme coins. He might have concerns about the performance of the meme coin and may have decided to move whatever value it has now to a more stable crypto asset like Ethereum, which is less volatile. Buterin pulled a similar exit move with two meme coins in September. He offloaded Puppies tokens for 28.58 ETH and ERC20 tokens for $13,900. He has not been known to keep meme coins in his wallet for long, as highlighted by the case of Shiba Inu. Some online community members within the Ethereum space have speculated that it could imply that Vitalik Buterin does not support or care about meme coins. They argue that Buterin’s action could trigger a price drop for those meme coins, as holders could interpret the move as a negative signal. Despite these diverse opinions, market observers note that converting to Ethereum remains a strategic move. As of press time, one Ethereum exchanges hands at $4,337.10, which represents a 0.4% decline in the last 24 hours. The coin dropped slightly from a peak of $4,411.18 due to market volatility.…

Altcoins Poised to Rally with Polymarket’s Growth

Altcoins Poised to Rally with Polymarket’s Growth

The post Altcoins Poised to Rally with Polymarket’s Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polymarket has made headlines this week, with multiple developments surrounding the prediction platform. It is gaining legitimacy with ICE exploring a $9 billion deal and Wall Street taking notice. Against these backdrops, the network’s effect plays out across multiple chains and protocols that power its decentralized prediction markets. Sponsored Sponsored Altcoin Stacks Powering Polymarket’s Breakout Moment BeInCrypto recently reported that Polymarket could host the biggest airdrop in the industry. This, coupled with headlines about a prospective ICE investment, positions select altcoins to benefit from the platform’s growing valuation. 1. UMA: The Silent Backbone of Prediction Markets UMA is important to Polymarket, but no one is paying attention. While all eyes are on Polymarket’s explosive growth, UMA remains the quiet infrastructure layer that makes decentralized predictions possible. Polymarket uses UMA’s Optimistic Oracle (OO) to verify market outcomes transparently. This decentralized data verification mechanism allows proposers and disputers to determine the truth on-chain, without relying on any central authority. “Polymarket supports UMA as a resolution source for markets displayed on the Polymarket.com interface. Polymarket, at its core, is oracle agonistic, but the UMA integration provides another option for market creators,” the platform shared in a recent blog. Under the hood, UMA’s oracle ensures that every prediction, whether on elections, markets, or sports, can be settled securely and trustlessly. The UMA-CTF adapter deployed on Polygon connects Polymarket’s conditional token framework (CTF) to UMA’s oracle, making every market resolution verifiable. Despite this essential role, investors largely overlook UMA, focusing on Polymarket’s front-end success. If sentiment shifts toward recognizing the oracle’s importance, UMA could see significant upside as demand for on-chain data verification grows. Sponsored Sponsored UMA Price Performance.

Status, Mechanics and How to Buy

Status, Mechanics and How to Buy

The post Status, Mechanics and How to Buy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. What is TDOG, and how does it work? 21Shares’ Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), TDOG, recently appeared on the DTCC’s Active and Pre-Launch list under the ticker TDOG. The listing connects brokers and clearing institutions in preparation for potential trading, but it does not indicate regulatory approval. The proposed TDOG/21Shares Dogecoin (DOGE) trust is intended to be physically backed (i.e., holding Dogecoin directly) and to issue shares designed to track DOGE’s price (less fees). The fund calculates its daily net asset value (NAV) using a multi-exchange Dogecoin price index. During market hours, it also publishes an intraday indicative value approximately every 15 seconds, allowing traders to gauge how the shares align with the underlying asset. Creations and redemptions generally occur in cash. Authorized participants (AP) typically deliver cash, after which the sponsor instructs the prime broker (Coinbase) to purchase DOGE or use existing holdings, transferring it to Coinbase Custody Trust Company, which safekeeps the coins for the trust. The reverse flow applies to redemptions. Arbitrage by APs and market makers generally helps keep the share price aligned with NAV, though small intraday premiums or discounts may still occur, especially during periods of high volatility or limited liquidity. Two points of note:  Fees are paid in kind, so the amount of DOGE per share will gradually decline over time as sponsor fees are deducted. Until both US Securities and Exchange Commission filings are approved, TDOG will not trade. The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) listing only indicates operational readiness, not regulatory clearance. Did you know? For TDOG, “pay in kind” means the sponsor fee is deducted in DOGE rather than cash. As a result, the amount of Dogecoin backing each share gradually decreases over time, even though the share price continues to track Dogecoin’s market value. DTCC listing is not SEC…

Virtuals Protocol: Why are we launching Unicorn, our new launch pad?

Virtuals Protocol: Why are we launching Unicorn, our new launch pad?

Author: Virtuals Protocol Compiled by: TechFlow Why change? We believe that in the future agents will surpass humans, and global productivity will shift from human GDP to agent GDP (aGDP). Every part of Virtuals plays a role in this mission: Butler connects people with AI agents, making interaction and coordination seamless. ACP (Agentic Core Protocol) provides an economic foundation for agents, a permissionless transaction, trade, and collaboration layer. The creation of Virtuals Launchpad addresses the most critical aspect: co-ownership of agents. The original intention of Virtuals Launchpad was to enable anyone to co-own intelligent entities that shape the future AI economy. However, our first launch model, Genesis, failed to achieve this vision. Genesis starts with fairness. Every Virgen (Virtuals Protocol participant) can participate through points. The participation threshold is equal, the contribution threshold is high, and every project has visibility. Genesis pursues fairness, but like Icarus, it flies too high and eventually falls. Deep Tide Note: "Icarus" is a figure in Greek mythology who, along with his father, Daedalus, escaped Crete by crafting wings from wax and feathers. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high (towards the sun) or too low (towards the sea). However, Icarus, overwhelmed by the thrill of flight, flew too high, and the sun's heat melted the wax on his wings, causing him to fall into the sea and drown. But fairness has turned into scoring. The entire system has become about collecting points, not faith. Virgens rotate from one platform to another, racking up points, staking, selling, and leaving. The cycle repeats. High-quality founders are unable to raise meaningful funding. The system lacks a built-in fundraising mechanism, with only small transaction fees, which has led talented developers to avoid the platform entirely. The result: Virgens' returns have dwindled, project quality has declined, and user confidence has been eroded. While fairness exists, it's unsustainable. We realized that if we wanted people to truly co-own the AI agents that define the future, we needed a new model—one that made ownership meaningful again, rewarded early conviction, attracted high-quality founders, and created a home for agents worth living. That’s why we built Unicorn, a launchpad system to nurture the next billion-dollar agency. What has changed? Unicorn is designed around belief, not convenience. It gives Virgens the freedom to take authentic positions and rewards them for good judgment. It provides founders with the capital to build long-term structures and grow based on results. What the she-wolf was to ancient Rome, the Unicorn is to the new era of AI ownership. How it works Unicorn is built for true faith, for Virgens who can discover faith early, and for founders who can prove faith. Every project starts small, allowing anyone to trade, and eventually scales to hundreds of billions of dollars. Early confidence will bring huge rewards. Founders are protected, held accountable, and only receive funding when they achieve real growth. That’s how we make winning meaningful again. i. Creation phase Founders need to pay a one-time creation fee of $100 VIRTUAL to start the project. Once created, a dedicated proxy launch page will be published on the Virtuals Protocol platform, displaying all core project details, token supply, founding team, and launch parameters. There is a minimum 24-hour evaluation window between page creation and public trading. This allows the community time to review, discuss, and evaluate each project before liquidity is released. Trading will then begin. ii. Start-up and Early-stage Transactions Transactions start at lower initial valuations, providing early-stage Virgens with asymmetric, often extraordinary upside to discover conviction before others. Anyone can participate directly through the Virtuals Protocol interface, with no pre-sales, whitelists, or allocation restrictions required. To maintain fairness, the Anti-Sniper Tax will be enabled at startup. Anti-Sniper Tax: The initial tax rate is 99% and decays linearly to 1% over time. All collected taxes will be used to repurchase proxy tokens to strengthen the market and reward genuine participants. The system prevents bot takeover and transforms volatility into constructive liquidity growth. iii. Team Distribution and Fundraising Mechanism 50% of the total supply is reserved for the founding team. 25% is distributed linearly through limited price sale fundraising, starting only when the project reaches 2 million FDV and continuing until 160 million FDV. These sales will be executed automatically and transparently as the project grows. Founders only receive benefits when they gain traction in the actual market, and funding is tied to performance, not promises. The remaining 25% will be unlocked one year after the TGE on a six-month linear vesting schedule, or when the project reaches 160 million FDV, whichever comes first. This dual team allocation structure ensures that founders receive both financial support and accountability, preventing them from selling out early and instead securing growth funding by building value over the long term. iv. Ecological Airdrop Each Unicorn release allocates 5% of the total supply to real Virgens: 2% allocated to $VIRTUAL stakers 3% allocated to active Virtuals ecosystem participants Airdrops are distributed weekly, and snapshots are linked to $VIRTUAL staking and Virtuals ecosystem activities. This means that every proxy launch will directly reward $VIRTUAL stakers and active Virtuals Protocol ecosystem participants. Transition from a points system As we transition from Genesis to Unicorn, airdrops will gradually shift from the old points system to the new $VIRTUAL staking and Virtuals ecosystem activity model. During the transition period, all existing points will still generate airdrops based on the number of points held, and will also receive rewards based on $VIRTUAL staking and Virtuals ecosystem activities. Prior to the launch of Unicorn, a snapshot of all existing points balances will be taken. Airdrop distribution will then follow a three-week transition plan until full migration to the new model is complete. Token Allocation Key The road ahead Genesis was an experiment, a bold attempt to ensure a fair and transparent product launch. It succeeded to a certain extent, but fairness alone is not enough. Small victories don't build a lasting market. Fire is the first spark of humanity, and agency ownership is the next. Unicorn rewards belief, provides funding for real developers, and makes ownership meaningful again - ownership that drives the rise of Agentic GDP and real problem solving. This is how we'll move forward: helping Virgens co-own the AI agents that define the next economy and attract founders who can build for the long term. When Virgens win, Virtuals win. This is the only way forward. Unicorn, stay tuned!
