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.

Solana's Junk.Fun, a platform for recycling scrap tokens: On-chain "AiRecycle" helps reduce costs and increase revenue.

Solana's Junk.Fun, a platform for recycling scrap tokens: On-chain "AiRecycle" helps reduce costs and increase revenue.

Did you know that every time you receive a junk airdrop in your Solana wallet, it will deduct 0.002 SOL from your account? That's right, this is Solana's account rental mechanism. Some of you might be wondering, "I wasn't charged any rental fees when I created my Solana address." Okay, before understanding the Solana account mechanism, let's distinguish between the concepts of address and account. In the Solana architecture, an account is not the same as an address. Solana addresses are free to create, can receive assets, sign transactions, and do not occupy on-chain storage. This is crucial; it doesn't consume on-chain storage. When will "rent" be charged? It will be when on-chain storage is used. How is on-chain storage usage calculated? Let's say someone transfers USDC to you. The Solana system needs to create a "USDC Token" account, at which point 0.002 will be deducted from your SOL balance as a rental fee. Once the account is created, the USDC will be credited to your account. Another common situation is passively receiving junk coin airdrops. The system will automatically create a junk coin token account for you and deduct 0.002 SOL as rent. Your wallet will have more junk airdrops and less SOL. Therefore, the relationship between an address and an account is similar to having multiple accounts under your name, each receiving different tokens. Each account requires a 0.002 SOL rental fee. However, in many cases, opening an account is involuntary. The image below, created by Solscan, shows the status of the MEME token SBAE, where SOL Balance 0.002039 represents the rental fee. On the USDC page, although the SOL Balance is not displayed, the Owner Program is a Token Program, which means that rent still needs to be paid. Why is there a "rent"? The purpose of this system is actually to prevent state explosions, similar to DDoS attacks, and to prevent malicious individuals from endlessly issuing tokens on the blockchain. However, in reality, the goal is to reduce the cost of airdrops for legitimate projects, implementing a system where those who benefit pay for the rewards. Ironically, this has been exploited by many spam meme creators to fabricate fake token-holding address data. Is there any chance of recovering the rent? Junk.Fun addresses this issue. Junk.Fun is a token recycling platform within the Solana ecosystem. After recycling zero-value MEME or NFTs, users receive Credits. Credits can be directly withdrawn as SOL, or users can exchange them for Junk.Fun treasure chests to win $SOL tokens, physical prizes (such as iPhones), NFTs, and other rewards in future airdrops. During the first month of the campaign, Junk.Fun will be giving away at least $50,000 in prizes. Each time a user redeems a token, a fixed percentage of the transaction fee goes into a growing reward pool. Early adopters and partners will also receive a unique referral link. Access will be by invitation only for the first 48 hours. In fact, Solana’s current recycling tool has processed over 400,000 SOL, valued at over $900,000 USD, with over 100,000 addresses. The market demand is substantial and real. The Junk.Fun core modules include: 1) Bulk destruction and rental income recovery Select all junk tokens/NFTs with one click; destroy them in batches and close accounts; rent is automatically deposited into your Junk.Fun account. 2) Treasure Chest Lottery Purchase treasure chests with your Junk.Fun balance; There is a 46% chance of winning a prize in the lucky draw; Opening a legendary treasure can earn you up to 60% of the total prize pool. 3) Friend Recommendation System When a friend opens a treasure chest, the referrer receives a commission. In the later stages, Junk.Fun will become more gamified and fun. Several new PVP game modes will be added, allowing players to win treasure chests through battles and ultimately earn SOL (Skill Points). This scenario not only gives rise to PVP battles, but also to tournaments, social games, team competitions, and other scenarios. It evolves from "one-time use" to "continuous participation," from "recycling tools" to "gaming platforms," and from "wallet cleanup" to "entertainment ecosystem."

The post Charles Hoskinson Sees 10M Cardano Users, Big Privacy Push appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Charles Hoskinson predicts Cardano will reach over 10 million users by 2030. Privacy-focused blockchain could offer a 10x to 100x opportunity for crypto sector growth. Hoskinson criticizes H-1B visa abuse while praising India as a major talent producer globally. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson shared his vision for the blockchain’s future in a recent podcast with Sujal Jethwani. The discussion covered adoption projections, privacy technology opportunities, and policy considerations affecting the cryptocurrency industry. Hoskinson shared his expectations for Cardano by 2030 and stated the network will likely have more than 10 million users. He noted that the blockchain has completed its governance and full decentralization phases, positioning it for recursive improvement and adoption growth.

He explained that programmable privacy technologies are necessary to bring real-world assets and institutional players into the space. According to Hoskinson, approximately $10 trillion in real-world assets want to enter cryptocurrency but cannot do so on current platforms like Ethereum, Bitcoin, or Cardano without privacy capabilities. He highlighted technologies like Midnight as critical for enabling this institutional adoption.

The post IPO Genie’s Crypto Marketing With Real World Asset Tokenisation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Crypto Marketing takes on a new avatar with IPO Genie’s real world asset tokenisation crypto 2025 Crypto marketing is maturing and fast! Hype-driven promos might cut it for some, but the real players are drawn to value-driven narratives. Celebrities who promote coins they barely understand, projects that make high promises of “revolutionizing DeFi,” then go radio silent post-launch, and Airdrop spams where projects give away tokens purely to boost follower counts don’t fool investors anymore.

Trump Media Launches Polymarket Rival, Eyes $9B Prediction Market with Crypto.com

Trump Media Launches Polymarket Rival, Eyes $9B Prediction Market with Crypto.com

The post Trump Media Launches Polymarket Rival, Eyes $9B Prediction Market with Crypto.com appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Trump Media & Technology Group has announced a partnership with Crypto.com to launch Truth Predict. The move places the company in direct competition with major players like Polymarket and gives it a stake in the $9 billion prediction markets. Trump Media Reveals New Polymarket Rival: Truth Predict According to Bloomberg, Trump Media will allow users to place prediction contracts on topics ranging from elections and economic indicators to sports outcomes and commodity prices. The new feature, Truth Predict, is expected to begin testing in the coming weeks before an official U.S. launch and subsequent global rollout. “For too long, global elites have controlled these markets. With Truth Predict, we’re democratizing information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd,” said Devin Nunes, CEO of Trump Media and former U.S. Congressman. The announcement comes as activity across existing platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi has hit record highs. Data from Dune Analytics shows that weekly notional trading on these markets recently surpassed levels seen during the 2020 election cycle. The surge has also attracted attention from Wall Street players such as CME Group and Intercontinental Exchange. The firms are also exploring entry into the event betting market. Truth Predict will rely on Crypto.com Derivatives North America to facilitate prediction wagers. This reinforces the collaboration between Crypto.com and the firm. The two firms previously reached an agreement to create a crypto treasury vehicle and co-develop exchange-traded funds (ETFs) under the Truth.Fi brand. Truth Social Takes Aim at Polymarket’s Dominance This new platform could rival Polymarket’s stake in the predictions market. The platform is reportedly raising funds at a valuation approaching $15 billion. The firm also announced plans to issue a native POLY token and to conduct a retroactive airdrop for loyal users. While Polymarket runs its platform on blockchain rails,…
