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.

Sony, Startale Launch ‘Startale App’ Beta on Soneium L2

The post Sony, Startale Launch ‘Startale App’ Beta on Soneium L2 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sony Block Solutions Labs and Startale Group have launched the closed beta of the “Startale App” on Sony’s Ethereum L2, Soneium. The app uses account abstraction to eliminate both seed phrases and gas fees, aiming to remove key Web3 friction points. The “super app” will also support “Mini Apps,” allowing developers to build and deploy services directly within the Soneium ecosystem. Sony Block Solutions Labs and Japan’s Startale Group have opened a closed beta for the Startale App, a unified entry point to Soneium, the Ethereum Layer 2 Sony is building with Startale.  The app is meant to strip away the usual Web3 friction by creating wallets without seed phrases and letting users transact on Soneium without paying gas, so new users can join token drops and app launches without touching raw blockchain tooling. This turns Soneium into a cleaner consumer funnel at a time when the network is already reporting millions of wallets and daily transactions. Introducing Startale App, your all-in-one SuperApp optimized for @soneium. Soneium is a bustling, fast-growing ecosystem with 10M+ weekly transactions and 90K+ daily active addresses. Startale App will become your gateway to explore, engage, and grow within this vibrant… pic.twitter.com/5SRKeUVF6g — Startale 💿 (@StartaleGroup) November 11, 2025 Related: Sony Launches “Soneium For All” Incubator to Fund Ethereum L2 Developers App Removes Seeds And Gas Fees For Soneium Users The Startale App uses account abstraction so anyone can spin up a wallet with just an email and start using Soneium straight away. Transactions are handled in the background, so there is no separate gas token to manage.  This solves the two biggest onboarding blockers and makes it easier for Soneium projects to drop rewards or run TGEs for non-crypto users. This keeps Soneium aligned with Sony’s wider goal of putting blockchain behind familiar interfaces. Mini…

Mainnet Launch: A Look at the Monad Ecosystem

Mainnet Launch: A Look at the Monad Ecosystem

Author: Haotian Rumors are circulating about a joint launch between Monad and Coinbase? Stop guessing and let's see what exciting early ecosystem surprises @monad has in store for everyone with the mainnet launch just around the corner: DeFi + Perp Dex: @KuruExchange: A fully on-chain order book DEX, Paradigm led an $11.6 million Series A funding round. Let's see how the CLOB model works on Monad. @DrakeExchange: Perpetual contract DEX, 50x leverage, CLOB+vAMM hybrid model. Will Perps, a high-frequency trading platform paired with a performance chain designed specifically for high-frequency trading, break through the ceiling of Perp DEX? @MondayTrade_: A comprehensive DeFi hub, handling spot trading, limited partners (LPs), and perps, positioned as "CEX speed + DeFi transparency." The concept of a full-stack on-chain trading center will be very trendy; @seertrade: An on-chain trading terminal, "one screen, all-in-one, integrating research, decision-making, and execution." The idea is to create a DeFi version of Bloomberg; the concept is good, but whether it can be successful remains to be seen. Prediction Markets + Games: @kizzymobile: Betting on influencers' social media performance, directly financializing the attention economy. The main focus is high-frequency betting + real-time settlement; @Levr_Bet: A decentralized leveraged sports betting platform with 5x leverage. It's important to know that the pain point of on-chain sports betting is oracle latency, which Monad aims to solve. @RareBetSports: A sports prediction platform with a fully blockchain-based design: smart contracts automatically verify match results and distribute rewards. Core gameplay includes combination betting and predicting player performance, offering a 100x multiplier return. GameFi Games: @LumiterraGame: An MMO game that focuses on "open economy + AI Agent". The AI autonomously trades within the game, and every action is an on-chain transaction, directly testing the underlying blockchain performance; @ExploreOmnia: A pet battle game made by the Sappy Seals team, positioned as a "Pokémon killer." It uses the old P2E+NFT formula; will it connect to a Pokémon blockchain narrative? @TeleMafia: Telegram gangster game, slap and fight interaction, play to earn. Light game + on-chain assets; @fluffleworld: A gamified wellness app that rewards you for putting down your phone, "Touch Grass." The "Focus" feature, which allows you to hatch dragon eggs offline, is a rather interesting anti-phone addiction design. AI Agent: @symphonyio: The AI Agent execution layer enables agents to execute DeFi strategies across protocols and chains. The challenge is to enable AI agents to conduct autonomous transactions; @KINETK_AI: An AI-driven content protection platform that helps creators monitor IP theft across the entire network and hashes content on the blockchain. A necessity for creators' economic needs. Social task type: @bro_dot_fun: A social task reward platform where you earn points by completing X/Twitter tasks. It features meme-style social interaction and lets you climb the leaderboards to win airdrops. Additional: Some of my insights and thoughts: 1) @monad will definitely enter the Perp DEX arena. After all, Hyperliquid's benchmark effect remains, and many projects are relentlessly pursuing it, but so far no newcomer has emerged to challenge it. It remains to be seen whether Monad can deliver a stunning performance after everyone has left the fray. This is definitely worth checking out. 2) Prediction markets + gaming will be the biggest application scenario for crypto in the future, and Monad naturally won't miss this high-frequency application scenario that gathers "attention + funding + daily active users". If Monad had launched a few years earlier, there's reason to believe that @Polymarket wouldn't have partnered with Polygon. Besides, Monad should have a firm grasp on making waves in the gaming industry; 3) AI Agent + x402: This is a long-term narrative that almost all blockchains are vying for, enabling "high-frequency trading + fragmented payments + gaming and heavy consumption scenarios." The x402 payment protocol is perfect for Monad.
