Monad Airdrop countdown! A summary of 11 upcoming issue coin encryption potential projects

The cryptocurrency market is about to witness a coin issuance frenzy in 2025, with 11 heavyweight projects set to issue coins one after another, from the Meteora in the Solana ecosystem (TGE on October 23) to the high-performance public chain Monad (Airdrop available on October 14), and then to the RWA public chain Pharos backed by Ant Group, the NFT leader OpenSea, and the wallet giant MetaMask.

Meteora: Solana Ecosystem Liquidity Protocol TGE on October 23

On September 30, the Solana ecosystem liquidity protocol Meteora officially announced on social media that the project will have its TGE on October 23, with the token name MET. As an important DeFi infrastructure within the Solana ecosystem, the token issuance of Meteora is highly anticipated.

· Analysis of Meteora Token Economics

On October 8, Meteora announced the MET tokenomics, with 48% of the total supply set to circulate at TGE. This initial circulation ratio is relatively high, reflecting the project's emphasis on community distribution. According to Meteora's plan, 20% of the tokens are allocated to Mercurial stakers, 15% to Meteora users (through the LP incentive program), 3% to Launchpads and Launchpool ecosystems, and 2% to off-chain contributors.

In addition, 3% is allocated to the Jupiter staking incentive program, 3% is allocated to centralized trading platforms, market makers, etc., and 2% is allocated to M3M3 stakers. Jupiter is an aggregation trading platform in the Solana ecosystem, and its collaboration demonstrates Meteora's strategic positioning in the Solana DeFi ecosystem. M3M3 is Meteora's NFT series, and holders will also receive Airdrop rewards.

Of the remaining portion, 18% is allocated to the team with a 6-year linear vesting period, and 34% is allocated to the Meteora reserve, also with a 6-year linear vesting. The long-term lock-up of the team tokens demonstrates the project's long-term commitment, while the Meteora reserve is used for future ecological development and incentive programs.

· How to participate in the Meteora Airdrop?

If you want to participate in the Meteora Airdrop, the main ways to obtain tokens include: becoming a Mercurial staker, which is the highest priority allocation target; participating in the Meteora liquidity provision program to provide liquidity for various funding pools; holding M3M3 NFT; participating in the Jupiter staking program. Considering that the TGE time has been confirmed for October 23, the current interactions may no longer be counted in the snapshot, but you can pay attention to the project's subsequent incentive plans.

Monad: A high-performance Layer 1 with $225 million in funding

(Source: Monad)

On October 9, Monad tweeted that the Airdrop claim portal will open on October 14. This is one of the most anticipated public chain projects of 2025, with its technological innovations and strong financing background generating high expectations in the market.

· Monad's Technical Advantages and Financing Background

On April 9, 2024, according to Fortune magazine, Layer 1 blockchain Monad Labs completed a $225 million funding round, led by Paradigm, with participation from IOSG Ventures, SevenX Ventures, Electric Capital, and Greenoaks. Paradigm is one of the top VCs in the crypto space, and its leadership is often seen as a strong endorsement of project quality.

Monad focuses on high performance and EVM compatibility, claiming to achieve a throughput of 10,000 transactions per second while maintaining full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This technological approach attempts to find the best balance between performance and ecological compatibility, attracting projects from the Ethereum ecosystem to migrate seamlessly.

· MON token supply and expected price

On September 11, Keone Hon, co-founder of Monad, stated on the social platform X that “the initial total supply of the native Gas token on the Monad chain is 100 billion.” Currently, the price of the Monad token $MON in the pre-market contract on Hyperliquid is about $0.13. If calculated at this price, the fully diluted valuation (FDV) of MON would reach $13 billion, which is a quite aggressive valuation in the current market environment.

Pre-market contract prices often overestimate the actual listing price, as the main participants in pre-market trading are high-risk tolerant speculators. However, considering Monad's technical strength, financing background, and market enthusiasm, even with a discount, its listing performance is still worth looking forward to.

· Airdrop Collection Notes

After the Airdrop claim portal opens on October 14, eligible users need to connect their Wallet and complete the claim operation. Monad has not yet announced specific Airdrop eligibility criteria and allocation ratios, but it generally rewards testnet participants, community contributors, and early supporters. It is recommended to check your eligibility as soon as the official announcement is released and complete the claim in a timely manner to avoid missing the time window.

Abstract: The Layer 2 Rising Star Behind Pudgy Penguins

In May this year, Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz hinted during a live broadcast that the Layer 2 network Abstract Chain may have its TGE before the end of the year. “Before the end of the year means September, October, November, December, and users still have at least 3 months left.” Although we are already in October, the expectation of issuing coins before the end of the year still holds.

· Transformation from Flame to Abstract

Abstract was formerly known as Flame. After being acquired by Igloo, the parent company of Pudgy Penguins, and with the success of Pudgy Penguins' token $PENGU , NFT players and the entire market have been looking forward to this new chain, Abstract. Pudgy Penguins is a phenomenal project in the NFT market, with its IP value and community influence breaking through the crypto sphere and entering the mainstream consumer market.

Abstract Chain is positioned as a Layer 2 network optimized for NFT and creator economy, fully leveraging the brand influence and user base of Pudgy Penguins. This combination model of “IP + infrastructure” is relatively rare in the crypto industry, and if executed well, could pioneer new business models.

· Can the success of PENGU be replicated in Abstract

The token of Pudgy Penguins $PENGU created huge market enthusiasm at its launch, with extremely high community participation. Whether Abstract Chain can continue this success will depend on several factors: technical strength and actual performance, the attractiveness and incubation of ecological projects, the synergy with Pudgy Penguins IP, and the rationality of the token economics design.

For users who want to participate in the Abstract Airdrop, the most direct way is to hold Pudgy Penguins NFT or $PENGU token and pay attention to the activities of the Abstract testnet. Considering the timeline for issuing coins before the end of the year, the next few months may be a crucial period for accumulating interaction records.

Pharos: RWA Public Chain with Ant Group Background

In the community AMA at the beginning of October, the Pharos official revealed plans to conduct a TGE in the first quarter of next year. Pharos is an RWA Layer 1 public chain with an “ant system” background, which brings unique market attention to it.

· Technical Gene of the Ant System Team

CEO Alex Zhang was previously the CEO of the Web3 technology company @zan_team under Ant Group and also served as the CTO of AntChain. CTO Wish Wu was previously the CSO (Chief Security Officer) of the Web3 technology company @zan_team under Ant Group. This team background means that Pharos has enterprise-level technical capabilities and compliance experience, which is particularly important in the RWA (Real World Assets) domain.

RWA tokenization is the process of mapping traditional financial assets (such as real estate, bonds, stocks, commodities, etc.) onto the blockchain, which requires addressing complex legal, compliance, and technical issues. Teams with a background in traditional fintech have a clear advantage in this field.

· Strategic Investment of Yunfeng Financial

On November 9, 2024, Pharos announced the completion of an $8 million seed round financing, with participation from Faction, Hack VC, SNZ Holding, Reforge, Dispersion Capital, Hash Global, Generative Ventures, Legend Star, MH Ventures, Zion, and Chorus One Ventures.

On September 1st of this year, Yunfeng Financial announced a strategic cooperation agreement with Ant Group. At the same time, the group made a strategic investment in Pharos. Both parties will leverage the Pharos high-performance public chain platform to jointly and compliantly expand in cutting-edge fields such as the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and Web3. Yunfeng Financial's participation not only brings funding but, more importantly, resources and trust endorsement from traditional financial institutions.

· Opportunities and Challenges in the RWA Track

RWA is considered one of the key paths for the crypto industry to move towards mainstream adoption. By tokenizing real-world assets, it can enhance asset liquidity, reduce transaction costs, and increase transparency. However, this track also faces significant challenges: the complexity of regulatory compliance, the verification of asset authenticity, the coordination of cross-border legal frameworks, and the acceptance by traditional financial institutions.

The Pharos project plans to conduct its TGE in the first quarter of 2026, and the relatively late timeline may reflect the project's cautious approach to compliance and ecosystem building. For investors, this is an opportunity that requires patience but has the potential for significant returns.

OpenSea: The Late Issuance of the Leader in the NFT Market

As the former leader of the NFT market, OpenSea is finally going to issue coin. On September 9, OpenSea CMO Adam Hollander revealed in an article posted on Twitter that the OpenSea Foundation will announce the specific details of the TGE in early October.

· Changes in OpenSea's Market Position

OpenSea was once the absolute leader of the NFT trading market, occupying over 90% of the market share during the NFT bull market of 2021-2022. However, with the rise of competitors like Blur and the overall cooling of the NFT market, OpenSea's market position has been challenged. Issuing coins is seen as an important means to revitalize market share and incentivize user loyalty.

OpenSea's advantages lie in its brand recognition, user base, and years of accumulated data. If it can effectively incentivize users and creators through token economics, OpenSea still has the potential to reclaim market leadership.

· Airdrop Expectations and Strategies

Although the specific Airdrop rules have not yet been announced, it can be reasonably speculated that OpenSea will reward historical transaction users, active traders, long-term holders, and creators. Considering OpenSea's years of operational history, the user base eligible for the Airdrop may be very large.

For users looking to maximize Airdrop rewards, it may already be too late to engage in interactions, as the snapshot time has likely passed. However, one can keep an eye on whether OpenSea will introduce subsequent incentive programs and assess if it is worth conducting more transactions on the platform.

MetaMask: The Tokenization Transformation of a Wallet Leader

Like OpenSea, MetaMask was once the king of the wallet arena and is finally going to issue coin. On October 9, MetaMask announced the launch of perpetual contract trading features, and the MetaMask reward program will kick off at the end of October.

· Comprehensive Analysis of the MetaMask Points System

MetaMask has launched a points system and tiered rewards aimed at incentivizing on-chain trading activities. Users can earn points with each token swap and perpetual contract trade, and can also earn points by referring others. In the future, users will also earn points by spending with the MetaMask card and holding mUSD, extending rewards across the entire ecosystem.

The reward program is conducted quarterly every three months, allowing participants to earn over 30 million USD in LINEA tokens, perpetual contract fee discounts, points bonuses, and other rewards. The first season offers bonuses for exchanges on the Linea network, as well as for exchanges and bridging operations through MetaMask Mobile. Points can be accumulated for future seasons, at which time more exclusive benefits will be provided, including the upcoming MetaMask token.

· The Synergy Between Linea and MetaMask

The MetaMask reward program is closely tied to the Linea network, and this is no coincidence. Linea is a Layer 2 network launched by ConsenSys (the parent company of MetaMask), and the coordinated development of the two is part of the company's overall strategy. By incentivizing users to use MetaMask for transactions on Linea, it can simultaneously promote the adoption of Wallets and public blockchains.

The 30 million USD LINEA token rewards demonstrate the project's commitment to this initiative. For users, this is an opportunity to accumulate eligibility for both MetaMask and Linea Airdrop.

· How to Maximize MetaMask Points?

To maximize MetaMask points rewards, users should: prioritize token swaps on the Linea network, use MetaMask Mobile for bridging operations, try the newly launched perpetual contract trading feature, invite friends to use MetaMask, and maintain activity to accumulate points for future seasons. Considering that the first season has already started, now is the best time to participate.

Rainbow: A New Star in Web3 Mobile Wallets

On September 23, according to official news, the Web3 mobile wallet Rainbow announced that it will issue the token RNBW in Q4, with specific Airdrop and distribution details to be announced later by the official Twitter account. Rainbow occupies a place in the mobile wallet market with its exquisite user interface and smooth user experience, and the token issuance may further consolidate its market position.

Football.Fun: The Rise of the Sports Prediction Market

On October 9th, according to official news from the sports prediction application Football.Fun on the Base chain, its parent company Sport.Fun will issue the token $FUN in Q4 and plans to conduct an airdrop in Q4. This token will enjoy a share of the revenue from the prediction market under the company. In addition, the platform plans to expand its products into the basketball and rugby markets. The sports prediction market combines elements of gambling and encryption, offering huge market potential.

Limitless: Base Chain Prediction Market

On July 1, according to a report by Cointelegraph, the prediction market Limitless on the Base chain completed $4 million in strategic round financing, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, 1confirmation, Maelstrom, and others. Limitless had previously completed $3 million in seed round financing, bringing the total funding to $7 million. The new funds are intended to prepare for the upcoming TGE. The latest round of points activities for the project will end in January next year, with a chance of the TGE taking place in the first quarter of next year.

Lighter: Perp DEX on Ethereum L2

On October 2, according to official news, Perp DEX Lighter announced that its mainnet based on Ethereum L2 is officially online, fully open after 8 months of private testing. The first season points program has ended, and the second season will continue until the end of 2025. Currently, the probability on Polymarket that “Lighter will issue tokens before 11:59 PM EST on December 31, 2025” is 84%, indicating that the market has very high expectations for its issuance.

Grvt: A perpetual contract platform with zero-knowledge proof

On October 8, the decentralized perpetual contract trading platform Grvt announced on social media that the airdrop inquiry for the first quarter is now live, allowing users to check the distribution ratio of the airdrop. The main rewards are for early users and active contributors in the first quarter. The airdrop event for the second quarter is still ongoing, and the TGE is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2026. On September 19, Grvt announced the completion of a $19 million Series A financing, led by ZKsync and Further Ventures.

How to seize the opportunity of issuing coins in 2025?

During the recent National Day holiday, the meme coin market on the BSC chain was bustling. With the coin market being so lively even during the long holiday, it's no doubt that everyone is eager for the upcoming market. So, which projects that are about to issue coins can we look forward to, allowing us to get more funds to participate in the subsequent market?

· Decentralized participation reduces risk

In the face of numerous projects that are about to issue coins, investors should not concentrate all their energy and funds on a single project. Diversified participation can reduce the risk of a single project's failure or the airdrop being below expectations. It is recommended to choose 3-5 projects that are of the most interest or align best with one's capabilities for in-depth participation, based on one's own time and funding situation.

· Focus on the fundamentals of the project rather than speculation

Although the token price may be influenced by speculation in the short term, the long-term value is ultimately determined by the project's fundamentals. When assessing a project, one should consider: the team's background and execution ability, technical innovation and practical application, financing situation and investor lineup, community activity and market demand, and the rationality of the token economics design.

· Stay updated with the latest developments

The crypto market changes rapidly, and the project’s coin issuance schedule may be adjusted at any time. Airdrop rules may be modified temporarily. It is recommended to follow the project’s official Twitter, join the official Discord or Telegram groups, subscribe to the project’s Newsletter, use RSS, or other tools to track project updates.
