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.

Today’s top news: Crypto majors fall overnight; BTC -1% at $104,800 Coinbase unveils Coinbase Token Sales ICO platform, will host MON sale Monad shared tokenomics and public sale details for MON ($2.5B fdv) Uniswap plans to turn fee switch on, burn 100M UNI tokens (UNI +20%) US Treasury and IRS issue guidance to make staking easier for ETFs 🚀 Coinbase Unveils Its Own Token Launchpad, With Monad Up First And Monad stands to benefit first. 📌 What Happened Coinbase just unveiled a new “Coinbase Token Sales” platform as a regulated, transparent way for retail users to buy new tokens directly through the app. This is Coinbase effectively reintroducing public token launches to U.S. retail for the first time since the 2017 ICO boom. TLDR: The platform will host monthly sales, starting with Monad’s MON token from Nov. 17–22 Users can submit purchase requests in USDC during a one-week window, with allocations determined by a “bottom-up” algorithm that fills smaller orders first to maximize distribution. Tokens purchased will automatically be listed on Coinbase after the sale, giving projects immediate liquidity and visibility. Users who sell within the first 30 days of token launch are likely to be penalized for future distributions. This all comes after acquiring Cobie’s Echo platform for $400M just a month ago. 🗣️ What They’re Saying “We designed token sales to be the ideal way to launch – transparent, fair, and compliant.” – Coinbase blog “This is the first broad-based, retail-accessible token sale in the U.S. since 2018.” – Company statement “We’re excited to make MON our first listing, bringing Monad’s high-throughput tech to millions of new users.” – Coinbase announcement…
