Important Airdrop News

  • Polymarket Head of Markets: Token Airdrop Snapshot Has Not Been Taken Yet

On February 13, in response to a user question asking if the (airdrop) snapshot had already been taken, Polymarket Head of Markets William LeGate responded, "Not yet (No)." Additionally, another Polymarket official, Mustafa, had stated that the POLY token airdrop is part of the next phase plan.

  • Jupiter DAO Initiates Vote on Jupuary Airdrop, May Return 700 Million JUP to Treasury

On February 17, Jupiter DAO began a governance vote on a proposal for "zero net emissions" of JUP tokens, which will last until February 22. The proposal aims to avoid further token dilution and improve JUP's current price performance, which is at a historical low, by canceling the 2026 Jupuary airdrop event.

The vote has two options: Option one is to proceed with the Jupuary airdrop as originally planned, launching the airdrop checker and distributing 200 million JUP about a week after the vote ends, while continuing the existing team distribution and Mercurial incentive programs. Option two is to indefinitely postpone the Jupuary airdrop, return the prepared 700 million tokens to the community cold multi-signature wallet, and pause the emission of the team's reserve allocation. If option two passes, Jupiter will use balance sheet funds to buy back tokens released into the market to offset the selling pressure from Mercurial holders.

  • Wu Jiezhuang: Hong Kong to Issue First Batch of Stablecoin Issuer Licenses in March, Suggests Promoting Use via Airdrops

On February 19, Hong Kong Legislative Council member Wu Jiezhuang stated on the program "Finance CHAT" that Hong Kong is expected to issue the first batch of stablecoin issuer licenses in March. He suggested that after the institutions receive their licenses, the government could distribute consumption vouchers in the form of stablecoins to eligible citizens for spending at local small and medium-sized enterprises to promote the use of stablecoins in Hong Kong.

Wu Jiezhuang pointed out that this move could draw on the experience of promoting electronic payments through previous e-voucher programs, using stablecoin usage scenarios to boost the local economy and enhance Hong Kong's positioning in the development of Web3 and digital assets. He stated that the related administrative costs could be borne by the licensed institutions.

Gensyn AI: Don't Let AI Repeat the Mistakes of the Internet

In recent months, the rapid growth of the AI industry has attracted significant talent from the crypto sector. A persistent question among researchers intersecting both fields is whether blockchain can become a foundational part of AI infrastructure. While many previous AI and Crypto projects focused on application layers (like AI Agents, on-chain reasoning, data markets, and compute rentals), few achieved viable commercial models. Gensyn differentiates itself by targeting the most critical and expensive layer of AI: model training. Gensyn aims to organize globally distributed GPU resources into an open AI training network. Developers can submit training tasks, nodes provide computational power, and the network verifies results while distributing incentives. The core issue addressed is not decentralization for its own sake, but the increasing centralization of compute power among tech giants. In the era of large models, access to GPUs (like the H100) has become a decisive bottleneck, dictating the pace of AI development. Major AI companies are heavily dependent on large cloud providers for compute resources. Gensyn's approach is significant for several reasons: 1) It operates at the core infrastructure layer (model training), the most resource-intensive and technically demanding part of the AI value chain. 2) It proposes a more open, collaborative model for compute, potentially increasing resource utilization by dynamically pooling idle GPUs, similar to early cloud computing logic. 3) Its technical moat lies in solving complex challenges like verifying training results, ensuring node honesty, and maintaining reliability in a distributed environment—making it more of a deep-tech infrastructure company. 4) It targets a validated, high-growth market with genuine demand, rather than pursuing blockchain integration without purpose. Ultimately, the boundaries between Crypto and AI are blurring. AI requires global resource coordination, incentive mechanisms, and collaborative systems—areas where crypto-native solutions excel. Gensyn represents a step toward making advanced training capabilities more accessible and collaborative, moving beyond a niche controlled by a few giants. If successful, it could evolve into a fundamental piece of AI infrastructure, where the most enduring value in the AI era is often created.

Why is China's AI Developing So Fast? The Answer Lies Inside the Labs

A US researcher's visit to China's top AI labs reveals distinct cultural and organizational factors driving China's rapid AI development. While talent, data, and compute are similar to the West, Chinese labs excel through a pragmatic, execution-focused culture: less emphasis on individual stardom and conceptual debate, and more on teamwork, engineering optimization, and mastering the full tech stack. A key advantage is the integration of young students and researchers who approach model-building with fresh perspectives and low ego, prioritizing collective progress over personal credit. This contrasts with the US culture of self-promotion and "star scientist" narratives. Chinese labs also exhibit a strong "build, don't buy" mentality, preferring to develop core capabilities—like data pipelines and environments—in-house rather than relying on external services. The ecosystem feels more collaborative than tribal, with mutual respect among labs. While government support exists, its scale is unclear, and technical decisions appear driven by labs, not state mandates. Chinese companies across sectors, from platforms to consumer tech, are building their own foundational models to control their tech destiny, reflecting a broader cultural drive for technological sovereignty. Demand for AI is emerging, with spending patterns potentially mirroring cloud infrastructure more than traditional SaaS. Despite challenges like a less mature data industry and GPU shortages, Chinese labs are propelled by vast talent, rapid iteration, and deep integration with the open-source community. The competition is evolving beyond a pure model race into a contest of organizational execution, developer ecosystems, and industrial pragmatism.

3 Years, 5 Times: The Rebirth of a Century-Old Glass Factory

Corning, a 175-year-old glass company, is experiencing a dramatic revival as a key player in AI infrastructure, driven by surging demand for high-performance optical fiber in data centers. AI data centers require vastly more fiber than traditional ones—5 to 10 times as much per rack—to handle high-speed data transmission between GPUs. This structural demand shift, coupled with supply constraints from the lengthy expansion cycle for fiber preforms, has created a significant supply-demand gap. Nvidia has invested in Corning, along with Lumentum and Coherent, in a $4.5 billion total commitment to secure the optical supply chain for AI. Corning's competitive edge lies in its expertise in producing ultra-low-loss, high-density, and bend-resistant specialty fiber, which is critical for 800G+ and future 1.6T data rates. Its deep involvement in co-packaged optics (CPO) with partners like Nvidia further solidifies its position. While not the largest fiber manufacturer globally, Corning's revenue from enterprise/data center clients now exceeds 40% of its optical communications sales, and it has secured multi-year supply agreements with major hyperscalers including Meta and Nvidia. Financially, Corning's optical communications revenue has surged, doubling from $1.3 billion in 2023 to over $3 billion in 2025. Its stock price has risen nearly 6-fold since late 2023. Key future catalysts include the rollout of Nvidia's CPO products and the scale of undisclosed customer agreements. However, risks include high current valuations and potential disruption from next-generation technologies like hollow-core fiber. The company's long-term bet on light over electricity, maintained even through the telecom bubble crash, is now being validated by the AI boom.
