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.

Nexchain Airdrop Launches $5M Reward Pool During Stage 26 Presale

Nexchain Airdrop Launches $5M Reward Pool During Stage 26 Presale

The post Nexchain Airdrop Launches $5M Reward Pool During Stage 26 Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Nexchain’s $5M airdrop is live with weekly quests and leaderboard rewards as Stage 26 crypto presale nears $10M raised. Nexchain has introduced a $5 million airdrop to reward early adopters. The program allows participants to complete tasks, climb leaderboards, and earn tokens during the ongoing crypto presale. With Stage 26 nearing completion at $9,500,000 of its $10,125,000  target, the airdrop adds another incentive for community growth. Reward Structure and Leaderboard Incentives The Nexchain airdrop is structured around weekly quests that keep users engaged. Tasks include wallet connections, testnet interactions, and social activities. By completing these missions, participants accumulate points that increase their leaderboard ranking. The leaderboard determines the share of tokens distributed from the $5 million reward pool. Those ranking higher receive greater allocations, encouraging consistent engagement. Unlike typical giveaways, this system is designed for ongoing activity rather than one-off claims, fostering long-term user involvement. The initiative ensures both retail investors and developers have equal opportunities to gain exposure. As new quests are added each week, the airdrop campaign maintains momentum throughout the presale. Integration with Live Testnet Participation The airdrop connects closely with Nexchain’s testnet, which is fully operational and open to the public. Participants are encouraged to test smart contract deployment, transaction processing, and validator activity. Completing these actions not only builds familiarity with the network but also contributes to leaderboard points. During the testnet release, we faced some unexpected technical challenges. They’ve been identified, fixed, and the system is now fully operational. 🔗 You can try it now:Faucet: https://t.co/mJuQl6Y9PhBlockscout: https://t.co/C08yWnQGh5To thank the community for patience,… pic.twitter.com/BnAFDUL16y — Nexchain (@nexchain_ai) August 15, 2025 The testnet explorer, now live, provides real-time tracking of all blocks, transactions, and validators.

BetterBank exploited for $5M through unauthorized bonus minting

BetterBank exploited for $5M through unauthorized bonus minting

The post BetterBank exploited for $5M through unauthorized bonus minting appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BetterBank, a Web3 protocol, was exploited for up to $5M based on recent estimations. The protocol lost from unauthorized bonus minting, based on user-generated liquidity pairs.  BetterBank, a Web3 protocol promising DeFi banking, was exploited for an estimated $1M to $5M. The losses came from unauthorized reward minting, based on rogue liquidity pairs.  BetterBank first noticed unauthorized minting and withdrawals in the past day, sparking speculations as to the source of losses.  BetterBank to relaunch reward smart contract The protocol team was active in handling the attack and ended up compensating losses through its reserves. BetterBank also plans to relaunch its reward program for LPs with a new token airdrop and a new smart contract. 🚨UPDATE BETTERBANKERS🚨 Yesterday was rough. Within minutes it went from “hmm, not normal liquidations” → to “this is so not good.” But we jumped into action: paused the protocol, kept comms open for hours, pulled in devs, and started saving what we could. Because of Favor… — BetterBank.io (@BetterBank_io) August 27, 2025 BetterBank originally awarded bonuses for providing liquidity for the FAVOR token. However, investigation showed the liquidity pairs were untracked, and users could create a FAVOR pair against any token, even worthless newly created assets.  Despite the rogue pairs, the exploiter still received ESTEEM tokens, managing to mint a significant amount. BetterBank claimed the contract used to issue rewards was audited, but there was no vetting of the quality of FAVOR liquidity providers. On-chain investigation also showed the rogue minting managed to avoid the tax on bulk-minting rewards, by using external liquidity pairs.  BetterBank was built on PulseChain, using niche stablecoins for its liquidity. The attacker holds a remaining amount of 700K pDAI, still requiring bridging to make the tokens usable. The project team reached out to the hacker by messaging the exploit address,…
