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.

Hyperliquid-based Kinetiq Unveils KNTQ Governance Token

Hyperliquid-based Kinetiq Unveils KNTQ Governance Token

The post Hyperliquid-based Kinetiq Unveils KNTQ Governance Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KNTQ will allow holders to participate in decisions shaping the Kinetiq liquid staking protocol. The Kinetiq Foundation on Wednesday unveiled KNTQ, the official governance token for the Kinetiq protocol—the largest liquid staking platform on Hyperliquid’s Layer 1, HyperEVM, with a total value locked (TVL) of over $1.6 billion. As a governance token, KNTQ will enable holders to participate in decision-making and help shape the future of the Kinetiq protocol. The token will have a maximum supply of 1 billion, and eligible airdrop recipients must agree to the Kinetiq Foundation Terms of Use by Nov. 21 at 20:00 UTC. Kinetiq’s token distribution will allocate 30% of KNTQ to protocol growth and rewards, 25% to the initial airdrop (including 1% for Hypurr holders and 24% for kPoints holders), 23.5% to core contributors, 10% to the Kinetiq Foundation, 7.5% to investors, and 4% to liquidity. KNTQ Tokenomics The move underscores rising demand for liquid staking on new Proof-of-Stake networks, as users seek to retain access to liquidity while earning rewards for securing the blockchains. Liquid staking is currently the second-largest DeFi category, hitting a record $88 billion in TVL in September and sitting at just over $71 billion today. Over $53 billion of this amount is on Ethereum, per DeFiLlama. Liquid Staking TVL Rapid Growth The token launch also highlights how quickly Kinetiq has grown since its launch in July. It’s now the fastest-growing liquid staking protocol on Hyperliquid, the Kinetiq Foundation said in a post on X. Kinetiq kHYPE currently ranks 10th among liquid staking protocols, with a TVL of $1.36 billion. Within 24 hours of launching, Kinetiq attracted over $460 million in capital across just 2,800 holders, for an average stake of $164,280 per wallet, The Defiant previously reported. “As HyperEVM completes the unified execution layer by being attached directly to…

With New Airdrop Quests and a 100% Testnet Bonus Live, Is Nexchain AI Now the Most Rewarding Crypto Presale Before Mainnet Launch?

The post With New Airdrop Quests and a 100% Testnet Bonus Live, Is Nexchain AI Now the Most Rewarding Crypto Presale Before Mainnet Launch? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Nexchain AI’s crypto presale surges with new airdrop quests and a 100% Testnet 2.0 bonus ahead of the November mainnet launch. The crypto presale market is seeing growing attention as Nexchain AI continues to move through its roadmap with precision. The project combines artificial intelligence and blockchain technology to deliver a scalable, secure, and efficient infrastructure for decentralized applications. Investors are turning their attention to the ongoing crypto presale, as Nexchain’s Testnet 2.0 and active airdrop campaign strengthen community engagement ahead of the mainnet launch. With over 90% of the Stage 28 target already achieved, the presale’s limited window adds to the momentum. Nexchain AI: The Foundation of a Smarter Blockchain Network Nexchain AI integrates artificial intelligence into blockchain to enhance scalability, interoperability, and security. The platform operates on a hybrid Proof-of-Stake consensus combined with AI optimization for adaptive validation and resource management. Through sharding and Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), Nexchain ensures higher transaction throughput while minimizing congestion. Post-quantum cryptography and AI-driven anomaly detection reinforce the network’s resilience. The ongoing crypto presale has attracted strong participation, reflecting confidence in Nexchain’s technical foundation. Stage 25 and Stage 26 sold out rapidly, raising $9.27 million and $10.12 million, respectively. Stage 27 followed with $11.02 million raised at $0.108 per NEX.

Testnet 2.0 Launch in November The next milestone for Nexchain AI is the November launch of Testnet 2.0. This phase began on October 13 and runs until November 28.

Crypto or Cash? California’s New Law Draws the Line

Crypto or Cash? California’s New Law Draws the Line

The post Crypto or Cash? California’s New Law Draws the Line appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. How California’s SB 822 will impact digital assets California’s Senate Bill 822 (SB 822), signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom in October 2025, makes California the first US state to protect unclaimed crypto assets from forced liquidation. Treating digital assets similarly to bank accounts and securities, SB 822 requires unclaimed cryptocurrencies to be transferred in their native form rather than immediately liquidated. This helps prevent forced liquidation of assets like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ether (ETH), which could otherwise trigger taxable events for holders without their consent. SB 822 has reshaped the legal treatment of digital assets by bringing them under California’s Unclaimed Property Law, the first state framework to clearly include crypto in rules around holding and transferring unclaimed property. Under this law, account holders can reclaim their original digital assets or, if those assets were sold, the net proceeds from the sale by submitting a valid claim to the State Controller. Authored by Senator Josh Becker, SB 822 updates California’s decades-old Unclaimed Property Law. It passed through both houses in September 2025 before being signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. Did you know? Self-custodied wallets are generally outside the scope of unclaimed-property laws because no third-party “holder” exists. However, that doesn’t make them risk-free for users. Lost keys, forgotten seed phrases or the death of an owner without an inheritance plan can permanently strand digital assets. What is unclaimed property, and why does crypto pose a challenge? Unclaimed property, or escheatment, refers to financial assets that remain inactive or abandoned by their rightful owners for a set period, typically three years. After this period, the state takes over the property. Conventionally, dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks or forgotten securities came under the purview of escheatment. Applying unclaimed-property laws to cryptocurrency posed significant challenges for regulators. The decentralized nature of…
