Monad’s Airdrop Expectations Buzz Within the Crypto Community

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-10-03Última atualização em 2025-10-03

Monad’s upcoming airdrop has become a closely followed event in the crypto community.  The community is expecting Monad to hit mainnet within 90 days and the token will be launched subsequently. 

The excitement is building after updates on X revealed that the highly anticipated airdrop is already 51% complete. The rollout hints at a structured distribution tied to reputation and community activity.

In a post shared earlier today, Roman, a crypto commentator, mentioned that Monad has confirmed the airdrop. According to him the token most likely needs to wait three to eight months for the distribution to be finalized. 

“Wormhole’s founder hinted that holding $W tokens could earn you $MON tokens in an airdrop,” he added. He also mentioned that the KURU project, which supports Monad, said a token launch could happen within 91 days. 

Community reaction and ecosystem growth

The news sparked mixed reactions. Some users said they have given up on the project, while others said they are still involved. One X user, BW, urged caution. He warned, “Please don’t fall for random claim checkers, engagement bait, or meme accounts! The only reliable update will come directly from the monad official channels.” His warning shows that scams can pop up anytime when an airdrop is getting a lot of attention.

Moreover, Monad’s foundation has continued to strengthen the ecosystem. Just two months ago, it acquired Portal Labs, the team behind Portal, a stablecoin wallet infrastructure. In the announcement, the firm said the acquisition is expected to deliver a full-stack payments solution. Thereby amplifying efforts to make stablecoin-powered payments seamless across Web2 and Web3 businesses.

Trump's 'Bitcoin Retirement Plan' Hits Roadblock: Democrats Claim It Endangers American Workers' Pensions?

Democratic Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), along with Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), are urging the Labor Department to repeal a proposed rule that would open U.S. retirement savings accounts, like 401(k) plans, to investments in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In a letter to Acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling, they argue the rule would endanger workers' financial futures and contradicts long-standing legal precedents under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The rule, stemming from a Trump executive order, would shift the legal standard for plan fiduciaries. Instead of requiring them to prove they conducted due diligence on volatile assets, it would presume prudence if they followed a specified process. The lawmakers warn this exposes the $14.2 trillion in 401(k) savings to highly volatile and less-regulated assets, citing FINRA warnings on crypto's risks and FBI data on massive crypto scam losses. The letter also alleges a conflict of interest, noting that President Trump's adult children manage the family's crypto business, which has raised billions. They claim the rule could allow the Trump family to profit at the expense of workers and retirees. Consumer advocates echo concerns that it could turn retirement savings into a lifeline for a risky industry. The Trump administration defends the rule as expanding worker choice, with officials stating it ends the department "picking winners and losers" and requires fiduciaries to follow a prudent process.

Rules Change Mid-Game, Polymarket’s Billion-Dollar Bitcoin Prediction Market Mired in Settlement Controversy

A nearly $150 million prediction market contract on Polymarket is in turmoil after the platform refused to settle in favor of traders who correctly predicted that MicroStrategy (now Strategy) would sell Bitcoin. The core dispute revolves around a sale of 32 BTC, which occurred between May 26-31 but was officially disclosed in an SEC 8-K filing on June 1. The original contract stated it would resolve to "Yes" if Strategy sold any Bitcoin before May 31, 11:59 PM ET, using public disclosures and on-chain data as proof. After the filing on June 1, traders who saw the disclosure rushed to buy "Yes" contracts, believing it was conclusive evidence. However, Polymarket's operators later added a rule that the disclosure itself must occur by the deadline, not just the transaction, invalidating the filing as proof. This retroactive rule change has sparked accusations of market manipulation, leaving traders like "willo2," who invested $527,000, facing total losses. The controversy highlights a deeper structural flaw in Polymarket's decentralized settlement system, which relies on UMA's optimistic oracle. Disputed resolutions are ultimately decided by a vote among UMA token holders, a mechanism critics say is vulnerable to manipulation by large holders ("whales") who can vote in their own financial interest rather than on objective facts. Data suggests a high concentration of voting power and significant overlap between voters and Polymarket traders. The dispute emerges as prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi are experiencing massive growth and seeking mainstream financial legitimacy, having recently secured regulatory approval from the U.S. CFTC. However, the incident underscores the unresolved tension between decentralized, token-vote-based settlement and the need for transparent, rules-based outcomes in high-stakes financial contracts.

Ethereum Foundation Researcher: Quantum Day Is Approaching, Plans to Complete Quantum-Resistant Migration by 2029

Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake discusses the implications of a recent quantum computing breakthrough by Google’s quantum AI team, which demonstrated a 10x efficiency improvement in Shor’s algorithm against the secp256k1 elliptic curve used in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Notably, Google kept key algorithmic details confidential, using zero-knowledge proofs to verify the result without disclosure—a first in academia. Shortly after, the core optimization was independently reproduced, and an open-source competition (ecdsa.fail) emerged, further improving the algorithm by 8.4%. Meanwhile, startup Oratomic published research suggesting that neutral-atom quantum architectures could break secp256k1 with only 10,000 physical qubits, accelerating the timeline for "Q-Day"—the day quantum computers can break widely used cryptography. Drake estimates a 50% probability of Q-Day by 2032 and a 10% chance by 2030, contrasting with the U.S. government’s more conservative 2035 forecast. He warns against panic but stresses timely migration to post-quantum cryptography. Ethereum plans to complete its migration by 2029, covering consensus, data, and execution layers with hash-based systems. The Foundation is also developing leanVM, a formally verifiable zkVM, and has launched two $1 million initiatives to advance SNARK-friendly cryptography.
