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.

will this Trump coin rebound soon?

will this Trump coin rebound soon?

The post will this Trump coin rebound soon? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The WLFI price continued its strong downtrend as investors stayed on the sidelines and memories of Trump’s original memecoin linger. Summary WLFI price has crashed, leading to billions of dollars in assets.  The crash has happened as many early investors sold their tokens. It also plunged as the price-discovery face continues. World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token plunged to $0.2230, down by 30% from its highest point since its recent launch. Its market capitalization has fallen from over $7.7 billion to $5.52 billion .  Why the WLFI price is tumbling There are four main reasons why the WLFI price is in a downtrend. First, the token is crashing as part of the price-discovery process that happens after airdrops. Most newly launched tokens tend to drop in the initial days of their launch. For example, Wormhole (W) plunged by 17%, while ZKsync fell by 30%. Second, the WLFI price is likely falling as some of the early buyers and insiders sell. Unlike in the stock market, there is no lockup expiration in crypto, meaning that insiders can start selling from the first day. Third, and most importantly, assets associated with Donald Trump don’t do well in the long term. Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin initially surged to $49.25 in January and has now plunged to $8, erasing billions of dollars in value. Similarly, Trump Media & Technology Group stock trades at $16, down by 70% from its highest point this year. Further, it is unclear how the millions of dollars in USD1 will benefit WLFI holders. Data show that USD1 has over $2.7 billion in assets, which could generate over $110 million if invested in 10-year U.S. Treasuries that yield 4.2%. Will the new Trump coin rebound?

Zero Fees + 500x Leverage: Understanding Avantis, the Largest Derivatives Exchange on Base

Zero Fees + 500x Leverage: Understanding Avantis, the Largest Derivatives Exchange on Base

Source: Alea Research Daily Newsletter Compiled by: Zhou, ChainCatcher Synthetic derivatives, decentralized oracles, and composable liquidity protocols enable traders to access everything from Bitcoin and ETH to gold and FX using stablecoin collateral. Since Avantis launched on the mainnet in February 2024, it has become the largest derivatives exchange on Base and the largest DEX in the RWA trading and market making field. The protocol has processed over $18 billion in cumulative trading volume and executed over 2 million trades for over 38,500 traders. With $23 million in TVL across 25,000+ LPs and over 80 markets, Avantis is solidifying its position as a hub for perps. This article will explore Universal Leverage, Avantis's architecture, and the launch of $AVNT. About Avantis Avantis is a perps DEX that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies, forex, commodities, and indices using stablecoin collateral. The protocol abstracts away individual order books and instead builds a “universal leverage layer” where any asset with a reliable price feed can be listed. Synthetic leverage is achieved through a USDC-based liquidity vault that acts as the counterparty for all trades, enabling capital-efficient exposure to multiple markets. Traders can choose up to 500x leverage, allowing them to express directional views with minimal capital, while liquidity providers (LPs) earn a yield by providing USDC to support their positions. Avantis distinguishes itself from other perpetual swap exchanges in that users can trade non-crypto markets like the Japanese Yen, gold, and US stock indices alongside BTC or ETH. The protocol's design also supports features like zero trading fees, loss rebates, and positive slippage, aligning incentives between traders and limited partners by returning a portion of fees or profits to users when they improve the protocol's risk profile. Avantis Architecture At its core, Avantis is a capital-efficient synthetic engine. Traders use the protocol's interface to open positions on supported assets. Instead of matching orders in an order book, Avantis pairs each trader with a USDC vault that takes the other side of the trade. This vault aggregates deposits from thousands of limited partners and acts as a single counterparty. This structure allows the protocol to offer deep liquidity across many markets without requiring separate liquidity pools for each pair, enabling Avantis to list over 80 markets, including 22 RWA assets. Avantis introduces risk tranches and time-lock parameters so that LPs can choose their preferred exposure. LPs can passively deposit in the senior tranche or take more risk in the junior tranche, which has higher return potential but also absorbs a greater share of losses. Additionally, LPs can choose a time lock (e.g., 30 or 90 days) to control the duration of their capital commitment, with longer locks incurring more fees. This design mimics the centralized liquidity model of Uniswap v3 while applying it to the risk management of perps exchanges. Trader <> LP Alignment Avantis' innovative mechanism further aligns the interests of traders and LPs. Loss Rebates: Traders who take the opposite side of open interest (helping balance the platform’s long/short skew) can receive up to 20% loss rebates. This encourages traders to arbitrage open interest and stabilize LP exposure. Positive Slippage: When a trader's order reduces the vault's risk (e.g., closing out a heavily long position), Avantis offers an entry price above the Mark Price. This "better-than-market" execution rewards traders for helping to balance flows. Zero Trading Fees: Avantis pioneered a product where traders pay no fees to open, close, or borrow positions. Instead, they pay only a portion of their profits when closing a winning trade. Available for $BTC, $SOL, and $ETH, with leverage up to 250x, this tool is popular with scalpers and high-frequency traders. Advanced Risk Management: LPs can act as passive lenders or active market makers by selecting risk tranches and time locks. Each tranche has its own share of fees and potential losses, enabling LPs to control risk and return. $AVNT: Token Issuance and Token Economics To facilitate its next phase of growth, Avantis has launched $AVNT, a utility and governance token. $AVNT has multiple functions: Security and Staking: Holders can stake $AVNT in the Avantis Security Module to support the USDC vault during periods of extreme market volatility. Stakers receive $AVNT rewards and discounted trading fees. Community Rewards: 50.1% of the total 1 billion token supply is reserved for traders, liquidity providers, referrers, and builders who contribute to Avantis. Airdrops (12.5% of the supply) will reward protocol activity starting in February 2024, while on-chain incentives (28.6%) will fund future XP seasons and community contributions. Builder and ecosystem grants (9%) will support the creation of new front-ends and trading tools, such as AI agents and Telegram bots. Governance: Token holders will be able to propose and vote on protocol decisions, ranging from asset listings and fee structures to buyback programs and cross-chain deployments. The remaining 49.9% of the supply is distributed as follows: Team (13.3%) Investors (26.61%) Avantis Foundation (4%) Liquidity reserve (6%)

Cardano Founder Says Chainlink Quoted Them An ‘Absurd Price’, Here’s Why

Cardano Founder Says Chainlink Quoted Them An ‘Absurd Price’, Here’s Why

Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, has clarified why the blockchain platform was excluded from a prominent US government initiative meant to publish official economic data on public blockchains. Blockchain networks like Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Optimism made the cut; Cardano didn’t. Hoskinson revealed during a YouTube AMA that the reason wasn’t technical or regulatory, but it was grounded in economics. Specifically, he said the integration fee quoted by Oracle specialist Chainlink was absurd, which made Cardano’s participation really unfeasible. Chainlink’s Absurd Fee As one of the biggest blockchain ecosystems, Cardano’s inability to participate in the US government’s recent blockchain initiative to bring macroeconomic data onto the blockchain took many crypto participants by surprise. However, while speaking at a recent surprise AMA on his YouTube channel, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says the reason boils down to money.  Related Reading: Is XRP Coming To Cardano? Founder Sparks Speculation After Midnight Airdrop According to Hoskinson, the main reason was due to its pending partnership with Chainlink’s oracle integration, which is yet to be finalised because of the absurd fee charged by Chainlink. Hoskinson did not shy away from strong language: “They gave us an absurd number for integration. I said ‘f– it, we’ll handle it. We’ll figure it out,'” he said. Despite the frustration, he tempered his critique with respect. He described Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov as “extremely smart” and “a very good businessman”, someone who “sees the future” and, in Hoskinson’s words, is “sitting on a golden egg”.  Chainlink’s oracle solutions are very important for connecting smart contracts to real-world data. As such, Hoskinson’s metaphor acknowledges Chainlink’s powerful position in the blockchain ecosystem.  How It Stalls Cardano’s DeFi Growth Without a cost-effective oracle integration, Cardano’s decentralized finance landscape has struggled to keep pace with other blockchain ecosystems. To put this into perspective, Ethereum’s integration with Chainlink has allowed large inflows into its DeFi ecosystem, with about $13.4 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) added from between August 2 ($78.222 billion) and August 31 ($91.595 billion), according to data from DeFiLlama. Related Reading: Cardano Price To Rise 300% To $4? Analyst Reveals When Meanwhile, Cardano’s TVL broke below $400 million in August, and daily active addresses have also fallen massively. At the time of writing, Cardano’s TVL is sitting at $367.91 million. The result is a disconnect between Cardano’s on-chain activity and ADA’s price action, which witnessed a steady increase in August alongside the rest of the crypto market. Nonetheless, Hoskinson is still optimistic. Talks with Chainlink are ongoing, and he’s determined to find common ground with Chainlink. He also revealed discussions with the team behind the USD1 stablecoin and hinted at potential collaboration with Aave, which he described as part of a bundle. If USD1 (already launched on Ethereum, BNB, and Tron) comes to Cardano, it could become the ecosystem’s largest stablecoin. Combine that with oracle access and lending support from Chainlink, and Cardano could strengthen its DeFi foundations significantly. At the time of writing, Cardano is trading at $0.8307, up by 1.1% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Staking Ethereum Is Part Science, Part Game, and Part Tax Puzzle

Staking Ethereum Is Part Science, Part Game, and Part Tax Puzzle

Ethereum shifted from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake to reduce energy use and strengthen security. Validators stake 32 ETH to propose and attest blocks, earning rewards but risking penalties or slashing for misconduct. The system relies on slots, epochs, committees, and signature aggregation to achieve consensus. Staking can be done solo or via pools, with rewards and penalties carrying tax implications depending on jurisdiction. Overall, Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake incentivizes honest behavior, punishes malicious activity, and reshapes participation in blockchain governance.

Ethereum Is More Than Just “Crypto”

Ethereum Is More Than Just “Crypto”

Ethereum is more than digital money—it’s a decentralized platform designed for smart contracts and applications. Unlike Bitcoin’s UTXO model, Ethereum uses accounts, enabling faster transactions, programmable contracts, and gas fees to manage computation. With its Turing-complete language and Ethereum Virtual Machine, it functions like a global computer that minimizes censorship and third-party risks, laying the foundation for DeFi, NFTs, and the broader Web3 ecosystem.
