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.

What Is Cold Wallet’s RANKS System? Crypto Loyalty Tiers That Pay

What Is Cold Wallet’s RANKS System? Crypto Loyalty Tiers That Pay

The post What Is Cold Wallet’s RANKS System? Crypto Loyalty Tiers That Pay appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 16 September 2025 | 21:00 Wondering what is Cold Wallet’s RANKS system is? Discover how this live tier-based loyalty model rewards $CWT holders with future perks, from cashback boosts to exclusive airdrops.  Crypto doesn’t need more hype. It needs structure. Cold Wallet’s RANKS system delivers exactly that, a transparent, real-time framework that tracks how much $CWT you hold and turns it into a tiered status. From entry-level Cold Start holders to elite North Star whales, RANKS gives users a place on the map and a reason to grow. It’s not a vanity leaderboard. It’s a system designed for long-term value. With over $7.11 million raised in presale so far, and $CWT now priced at $0.01058 in stage 18 of 150, early buyers are already positioning themselves for what this system promises: a structured path to more rewards, more access, and more power, all before Cold Wallet launches at $0.3517.

It’s a core part of Cold Wallet’s thesis: participation should be rewarded, not taxed. The RANKS system gives identity and hierarchy to every user, starting at Cold Start (0–4,999 CWT) and climbing through Icebreaker, Glacier, Crystal Vault, and finally North Star, the top rank for those holding over 1 million CWT. What makes it different is that it isn’t just cosmetic. There’s a live leaderboard, so every holder sees where they stand in the Cold Wallet community. While early-stage perks include higher referral visibility and social bragging rights, what’s really being built here is a foundation for tiered benefits that scale with time. You’re not just holding tokens. You’re building status. Why RANKS Isn’t Just for Show Most…

R0AR Announces Launch of BuyBack Vault, Offering New Incentives by Bringing 1R0R to R0AR Chain

R0AR Announces Launch of BuyBack Vault, Offering New Incentives by Bringing 1R0R to R0AR Chain

The post R0AR Announces Launch of BuyBack Vault, Offering New Incentives by Bringing 1R0R to R0AR Chain 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. R0AR, a next-generation blockchain ecosystem seeking to unite DeFi, NFTs, and community-driven innovation, has made a bold move following an official announcement today. According to the announcement, the R0AR ecosystem has disclosed the launch of the R0AR BuyBack Vault, a game-changing initiative designed to supercharge community participation and reward early movers. While the innovation also focuses on accelerating the growth of the R0AR Chain, the launch of the ROAR BuyBack Vault marks the first of five strategic announcements rolling out over the next five weeks, each designed to throw gas on the fire of community energy, ecosystem participation, and chain adoption. According to the announcement, the BuyBack Vault presents an exceptional opportunity for the R0AR community, offering a minimum of 1% above market value for 1R0R tokens, with potential for higher rates depending on the conditions. Advertisement &nbsp Furthermore, it would allow wallets transferring assets to the R0AR Chain to become eligible for upcoming airdrops, platform rewards, and gated benefits. In addition to this, participants who did not engage in the 1R0R pre-sale, Executive R0AR Society NFT mint, DeFi programs, or early Node offerings may still qualify as early adopters ahead of the R0AR Chain reaching its initial 10,000-user milestone. Nonetheless, it is essential to note that the BuyBack Vault aims to enhance the structural and transactional strength of the R0AR Chain by incentivizing total value locked (TVL) and promoting broader participation. Also, the initiative focuses on building value directly within the R0AR infrastructure rather than conducting token repurchases on external networks.…

Why would Base need a token?

Why would Base need a token?

The post Why would Base need a token? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Whether or not Base would have a token has long been a discussion point ever since the L2 launched in mid-2023. On Monday at BaseCamp 2025, Jesse Pollak disclosed that Base is exploring the possibility of launching a token for the L2.  By all metrics, Base is the leading L2. It consistently accounts for over 70% of L2 gross profit, 70% of L2 transaction activity, $4.4 billion in stablecoins, and ~$20 million in monthly application revenue. In August, Base generated $6.2 million in network REV, annualized out to $75 million. Base remains one of the only L2s without a token. As the largest L2 generating the most in profits, what could the Base token be worth? Examining some competitor L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, and ZKsync), show these tokens trade at lofty price-to-sales ratios of 280x, 820x, and 1600x, respectively. This puts the sector mean at a P/S of 900x.  Applying this 900x multiple to Base’s $75 million in annualized REV puts a potential FDV on a Base token at $67 billion. To be priced in line with ARB at a 280x multiple, this would price Base’s token at a $21 billion FDV. Are these projections “fair-value” for a Base token? Absolutely not. But it does go to show the market value it could command is consistent with the sector’s multiples.  The napkin math forecasts are dramatic. Could launching a token really create tens of billions in market value for stakeholders? Coinbase equity is trading at a $84 billion market cap. This puts Coinbase at 7x last quarter’s sales, annualized, while revenues from Base account for less than 1% of the company’s topline sales. Would reattributing this revenue stream from equity holders to an L2 token really deserve a…

HYPE price pressured as whales set up for exit

HYPE price pressured as whales set up for exit

The post HYPE price pressured as whales set up for exit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Hyperliquid’s native token HYPE is now off its all-time highs. Whale transactions suggest the token may face additional price pressure.  Hyperliquid’s native token HYPE may face selling pressure as whales reverse their positions. HYPE traded off the week’s peak of $58.85, sliding to $53.22. Traders are becoming more cautious, as HYPE open interest inched down from over $2B to $1.9B.  HYPE sank from its lows, leading to whales reconsidering their positions. | Source: Coingecko In the past day, the token saw $1.75M in long liquidations, as traders decided to sunset the latest rally to a new all-time peak. HYPE successfully broke the $55 barrier, but the token may face setbacks as the altcoin market consolidates.  HYPE whale shifts to short positions A well-known high-profile whale with a bearish HYPE strategy is back in the game. The whale opened another $16M leveraged short position on Hype. Previously, the whale made up to $50M from shorting HYPE. This time, the position immediately shifted to an unrealized loss of above $348K.  For HYPE, shorting is the unpopular position, with a 42% share of all trades. Despite being unpopular, HYPE long positions are also saddled with growing fees. One of the whales is facing over $309K in fees for extending the position.  Additionally, one of the top leaderboard traders opened a smaller risky short position on HYPE, with a smaller risk of liquidation.  Staking whale removes HYPE share The ongoing price climb of HYPE comes from its high percentage of staked tokens. Over 430M HYPE are staked based on airdrop incentives.  On-chain data shows one whale held HYPE for nine months, unstaking 2M tokens in the past week.  A whale who bought and staked 2M $HYPE(cost $17.4M, now worth $107.2M) 9 months ago at $8.68 avg has now unstaked it and is very likely to…
