airdrop

Airdrop is a cryptocurrency distribution strategy where project teams distribute tokens for free to specific user groups to increase the project's visibility and user engagement. Typically, Airdrops are distributed to users holding specific tokens or participating in specific activities. The goal is to promote the ecological development and market liquidity of the project by increasing the number of token holders. Airdrops are also commonly used to reward early supporters or incentivize users to participate in the governance and development of the project.

first_img The perpetual contract platform Extended announced the XTEN token economy

The team behind Revolut has launched the perpetual contract platform Extended and released the XTEN token economic description. XTEN is the native token of the Extended ecosystem, with a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, minted all at once at genesis, and the supply cap cannot be increased. The community airdrop allocates 300 million tokens, accounting for 30% of the total supply, which will be fully unlocked at the Token Generation Event (TGE). The portion unlocked at TGE accounts for approximately 32.9% of the total supply, with a maximum circulating supply of 30% of the total. XTEN staking will go live simultaneously with TGE, with League level thresholds starting from 500 XTEN.Founders, team members, and investors will collectively receive 500 million tokens, which will not be unlocked before the end of a 12-month cliff period. After the cliff period, the founders and team will release tokens linearly in 36 equal installments from the 13th month to the 48th month; investors will unlock 25% in the 12th month, with the remaining 75% released monthly until the 48th month. The ecosystem allocation is 200 million tokens, of which 150 million will enter the emission reserve as the sole source of staking rewards, and emissions will stop once this reserve is exhausted; 50 million tokens will be allocated to the ecosystem fund, with 28.589286 million tokens unlocked at TGE but stored in a public wallet, with further announcements to be made before deployment. In the community allocation, 17.384355 million tokens correspond to the internal market-making platform of the operating entity X10 Ltd., obtained according to the points system, and the tokens are owned by X10 Ltd.To receive the airdrop, users must sign the terms within the app; the signing window will be announced separately, and any unaccepted allocations before the window closes will be transferred to the ecosystem fund. The staking balance determines the discount on transaction fees, additional yield multipliers for the Vault, deposit limits, and alliance revenue multipliers, with staking discounts ranging from 5% for Pawn tier to 30% for King tier. Unstaking will have a 7-day queue, during which no rewards will be counted, and it will not affect the level. XTEN will natively support Circle's CCTP, and Extended claims it is the first third-party token to launch on Arc with native CCTP support. Due to considerations related to MiCA, XTEN will not be available for EU users on Extended at the time of spot launch, but European point holders can still claim, hold, stake, and transfer. The TGE date, claiming window, and emission schedule will be announced separately, with the issuer being Extended Ecosystem Limited, and the white paper has been reported to the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).

Bitwise and Hyperliquid request the SEC to amend cryptocurrency regulations: focusing on token classification, airdrops, and secondary market trading

The asset management company Bitwise Asset Management and the Hyperliquid Policy Center submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), requesting modifications to the proposed cryptocurrency rules to clarify token classification, airdrops, and secondary market trading rules. The SEC's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets would establish exemptions for eligible cryptocurrency financing and provide a conditional safe harbor for tokens related to investment contracts.Bitwise requested clarification on the standards for investment managers to determine whether tokens are subject to securities laws. The Hyperliquid Policy Center called for an expansion of the safe harbor scope and clarification of the rules for airdrops and token buybacks that reward network participants. The organization also requested that the SEC clarify whether unregistered intermediaries can facilitate token trading and whether tokens can be freely traded through on-chain protocols. Former SEC enforcement official John Reed Stark and Duke University finance scholar Lee Reiners called for the proposal to be withdrawn, arguing that it exceeds the SEC's statutory authority and undermines investor protection. The SEC will decide to amend, adopt, or withdraw the rules after the public comment period ends, and the final rules must be voted on by the commission before taking effect.

Cross-chain stablecoin bridge Cashmere announces expansion plans, with the automated liquidity product Goat LP set to open to all users, followed by the launch of the main product Mountain and the token $CSM. Cashmere Bridge currently supports zero-slippage stablecoin transfers across 16 chains, and Goat Street features 6,666 goat NFTs on the Robinhood Chain. The team states that there is currently no official $CSM, and the related arrangements are part of the current plan and may change.Goat LP targets Uniswap v3 and v4 positions on the Robinhood Chain, with positions remaining in users' wallets as Uniswap NFTs. Automatic reinvestment incurs a 10% reinvestment fee, with Gas covered by the project team; automatic adjustment of ranges and automatic exits both incur a 0.15% fee. The official description refers to it as experimental software. The Mountain code has completed testing and will undergo external auditing before going live. Barn is a soulbound NFT with a maximum of 10 slots, and after issuance begins, new $CSM will be distributed every second. Goat NFTs can be permanently bound to receive issuance shares and cannot be sold or withdrawn after binding.The plan is to issue 1,000 founding Barns, with a guaranteed slot price of 0.125 ETH, whitelist at 0.25 ETH, and public auction prices dropping from 1.5 ETH to 0.25 ETH. $CSM will begin trading through the official Uniswap v4 ETH pool, while market making and tokens on Anvil have been canceled and redeployed due to technical issues. The maximum supply is planned at 666 million, with 10% allocated for official pool liquidity, 25% for the team and treasury with designated ownership, and 65% issued as the system operates. The team also plans to airdrop to Barn participants, Goat Street activators, and early users, with wallets that have listed goat NFTs on OpenSea being excluded.
