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.

ConsenSys’ Linea Goes Live With Massive Airdrop, Signaling New Phase For Layer-2 Networks

ConsenSys’ Linea Goes Live With Massive Airdrop, Signaling New Phase For Layer-2 Networks

The post ConsenSys’ Linea Goes Live With Massive Airdrop, Signaling New Phase For Layer-2 Networks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sep 10, 2025 at 21:19 // News ConsenSys, the prominent Ethereum software company, has officially launched the token generation event (TGE) for its Layer-2 network, Linea. The launch includes a substantial airdrop of over 9.36 billion LINEA tokens, a move that is expected to not only reward early adopters and developers but also to kickstart a new chapter for the Ethereum ecosystem. The race for Layer-2 dominance intensifies Linea is a zkEVM rollup, a sophisticated technology designed to scale Ethereum by bundling transactions off-chain and then submitting a cryptographic proof of their validity to the mainnet. What sets Linea apart is its compatibility with existing Ethereum applications, allowing developers to seamlessly migrate or build new decentralized applications (dApps) without significant changes to their code. This ease of use is a key factor in attracting projects and users, as demonstrated by the network’s rapid growth since its initial operational launch. The project has an “ecosystem-first” approach, with a significant 85% of the token supply allocated to the community, including a 10% portion fully unlocked for early users and builders. A core element of the token design is its deflationary mechanism. One-fifth of all network transaction fees, paid in ETH, will be burned at the protocol level, with the remaining 80% used to buy and burn LINEA tokens. This dual burn mechanism is intended to create a continuous deflationary pressure on the token supply, while also sending value back to the Ethereum Layer 1, aligning the incentives of both networks. The project’s team has emphasized that the token’s purpose is to fund Ethereum-aligned public goods, further solidifying its commitment to the broader ecosystem. As the race for Layer-2 dominance intensifies, Linea’s TGE and unique design are setting a new standard for how a scaled-up Ethereum can function.…

audit completed and conversion report

audit completed and conversion report

The post audit completed and conversion report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TL;DR 1:1 conversion from LEASH V1 to LEASH v2, with V2 tokens pre-minted and held in multisig; any residuals will be burned to prevent dilution. Independent audit completed on token and migrator; the full report will be published at launch on mainnet to ensure maximum transparency (official Shiba Inu blog) (data to be verified, updated September 10, 2025). Roadmap in 3 phases: 1) self-custody and xLEASH/veLEASH programs, 2) LP on V3 pools and new DEX, 3) cross-chain support between L1/L2 (including Base and Solana). Migration windows communicated near the rollout; operational guidelines will be disseminated exclusively through verified channels. Best practice: do not connect the wallet to unofficial sites and ignore alleged “fast track” offers. Overview: What the LEASH v2 Migration Entails The Shiba Inu team has formalized the LEASH v2 migration with a plan designed to maximize security and consistency on‑chain. At the center of the plan is a fixed conversion ratio (1:1) and the use of a multisig that holds the already pre‑minted V2 tokens, thus preventing the creation of new supply during the process. In this context, the operational phases are divided into three steps to give priority to self‑custody holders, protect liquidity providers (LP), and enable future cross‑chain expansion. According to the on-chain verifications conducted by our editorial team updated as of September 10, 2025, targeted checks have been performed on smart contracts and sample snapshots to verify the absence of arbitrary minting functions and the presence of a multisig address that holds the pre-minted V2 tokens. Industry analysts consulted indicate that the three-phase approach is consistent with best practices for migrations involving complex LP positions, reducing operational risk during snapshots. Quick Glossary V1/V2/V3: versions of the token or DEX pools (e.g., Uniswap V2/V3). LP: liquidity provider, who provides liquidity to the pools. L1/L2: base layer…

Linea Token Launches at $500 Million Market Capitalization

Linea Token Launches at $500 Million Market Capitalization

The post Linea Token Launches at $500 Million Market Capitalization appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Layer 2 blockchain developed by Consensys has launched its long-awaited token and airdrop. More than two years after launching its mainnet, Ethereum Layer 2 network Linea has conducted its token generation event (TGE). LINEA launched today at a $550 million market capitalization, but has struggled so far as airdrop recipients claim and sell their tokens. It’s down 20% so far to a $382 million market capitalization, or a $1.7 billion fully diluted valuation (FDV). LINEA pre-markets on Hyperliquid opened above a $1 billion market capitalization when the TGE was announced, but quickly fell over the following days LINEA Perpetual Chart – Hyperliquid Underwhelming TGEs have become common practice for Ethereum Layer 2s, with tokens such as ARB and OP falling roughly 80% from their 2024 highs, while high-profile Layer 2s that launched in 2024, like ZkSync and Blast, have plunged between 80% and 90% from their highs. Despite its mainnet being live for years, the network struggled leading into the TGE, as it stopped producing blocks for 46 minutes overnight, and many users reported difficulties in claiming their airdrops today. LineaScan Block Production – Wu Blockchain Linea product lead Declan Fox addressed the outage today on X, clarifying that the network suffered a sequencer issue after a “large bundle” transaction occurred, which, when executed in a large enough size, can place incredible strain on a blockchain’s tech stack. As the fervor surrounding the LINEA airdrop cools off, attention is likely to turn towards Linea’s future activations and token emissions, with another 75% of the LINEA supply, worth $1.27 billion, yet to be distributed throughout the ecosystem.

Avantis AVNT token rebounds 78% from bottom driven by strong fundamentals

Avantis AVNT token rebounds 78% from bottom driven by strong fundamentals

The post Avantis AVNT token rebounds 78% from bottom driven by strong fundamentals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AVNT posted a 43.3% price increase over the past 24 hours to record a 78% recovery from its bottom, despite continued sell pressure from its recent airdrop. Avantis airdropped AVNT tokens on Sept. 9 at a starting price of $0.488, but immediate selling activity from airdrop recipients seeking liquidity drove the token lower. The sell-off created buying opportunities that smart money traders capitalized on, with Nansen data showing profitable addresses increased AVNT holdings by 20.5% during the past 24 hours. The token reached a daily high of $0.371 on Sept. 10 after bottoming at $0.208 in early trading hours. Base ecosystem leadership The recovery likely reflects Avantis’ dominant position as the largest decentralized perpetuals exchange on Base. According to DefiLlama data, the protocol captured $4.6 billion in trading volume during August, representing 39.3% of all perpetual volume on Base during the month. Base consistently ranks among the top 10 chains for monthly perpetual trading volume in 2025, regularly surpassing $10 billion in trading activity except for May.

Quick take: The company is introducing “performance investing”, a blockchain-based service that allows fans to turn their passion into tangible assets. Fans buy tokenised keys linked to the performances of real-world teams as digital assets, with the asset prices appreciating as demand rises. A portion of every key sale flows into a buyback pool that repurchases the keys proportionally to team performances, thus creating constant demand and liquidity. PandaSea has launched its long-awaited layer-1 mainnet on Avalanche. The Web3 sports technology platform wants to turn sports fandom into “performance investing” through TheSportsExchange. Powered by Zeeve’s enterprise-grade infrastructure platform, Cogitus, PandaSea expands the boundaries of tokenisation beyond sports with programmable markets for gold, energy, and social influence, also set to be introduced.

Best Presale Crypto in 2025: BlockDAG, Hyper, and BZIL

Best Presale Crypto in 2025: BlockDAG, Hyper, and BZIL

The post Best Presale Crypto in 2025: BlockDAG, Hyper, and BZIL appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Presales often create attention without showing much progress. But in 2025, some projects are rewriting the story by delivering working products before launch. These coins are not waiting for the future; they are already building today. This shift makes presales less about waiting and more about real usage. The best presale crypto coins leading this trend are BlockDAG, Hyper, and BZIL. Each brings a different strength, whether in scaling networks, expanding DeFi, or linking digital rewards with retail. What sets them apart is proof that development is active, users are engaged, and growth is steady. Let’s examine how these projects are transforming presales into something more than just early promises. 1. BlockDAG: The Presale Crypto Already Running at Scale BlockDAG is setting a new standard for presale projects. Where most coins remain at the idea stage, BlockDAG (BDAG) has already proven its progress. It has raised over $403 million and entered Batch 30, with the presale price now at $0.03. This marks an impressive 2,900% surge since its very first batch. Over 26.1 billion coins have been sold, making it one of the most successful presales of 2025. The project has a working infrastructure that is live and in use. More than 19,700 X-series miners, including the X10, X30, and X100 units, have been sold. On the mobile front, the X1 Miner app attracts over 3 million daily users mining BDAG. Its upgraded V4 dashboard, Explorer, Academy, and TRADEBDAG tools are all open, showing clear functionality beyond the promise stage. BlockDAG’s presale setup enables growth to be measured. Starting at $0.001, it has steadily advanced through 30 batches, each reflecting demand and progress. Unlike projects that only raise funds, BlockDAG is actively scaling networks while building out hardware and software. The project’s upcoming deployment event in Singapore will mark the…
