This sets the stage for the distribution of MON tokens to early and active contributors ahead of the network’s eventual mainnet.
Earlier this year, the Foundation opened its airdrop claim portal on October 14, inviting users to link wallets, verify eligibility, and connect social accounts ahead of the distribution.
The portal allowed eligible users across five tracks, including core Monad community members to on-chain DeFi users and broader crypto participants, to register their claim status.
According to the foundation’s blog at the time, the allocation is designed to reward approximately 5,500 key community contributors and around 225,000 broader crypto users, via a stacked allocation model if a user qualifies under multiple tracks.
The share of tokens becoming available to these communities is still not known, but Monad co-founder Keone Hon did post on X earlier this year that there would be 100 billion MON tokens.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Ethereum Foundation makes post quantum security a top priority as new team forms
EF researcher Justin Drake says a new post-quantum team will drive wallet safety upgrades, research prizes and test networks as quantum timelines shorten.
What to know:
- The Ethereum Foundation has elevated post-quantum security to a top strategic priority, forming a dedicated Post Quantum team led by Thomas Coratger with support from leanVM cryptographer Emile.
- Researcher Justin Drake said Ethereum is shifting from background research to active engineering, including biweekly developer sessions on post-quantum transactions and multi-client post-quantum consensus test networks.
- The foundation is backing new cryptography with funding and outreach, launching two $1 million prizes, planning post-quantum community events and education, and stressing that blockchains must prepare early for quantum threats despite their long-term nature.
