Bitget Announces Phase 28 of Onchain Challenge Featuring a 120,000 BGB Airdrop Pool
Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has announced the launch of Phase 28 of its Onchain Challenge. This round features a total reward pool of 120,000 BGB, offering both credit-based rewards and leaderboard incentives for eligible participants. The campaign runs from November 20 at 12:00 AM to November 26 at 11:59 PM (UTC+8).
Participants who register through the official campaign page can earn credits by completing daily Onchain spot buy orders. Credit accumulation begins with a minimum transaction of 50 USDT, with larger trade volumes awarding progressively more credits. There is no daily cap on credit earnings, giving users greater opportunities to qualify for rewards.
The 120,000 BGB reward pool is divided into two activities:
Activity 1: Users who reach the minimum required credit threshold—announced by Bitget on social media after the event—will share 60,000 BGB based on their proportional credit contribution.
Activity 2: The top 828 traders by total trading volume (buys + sells) will receive direct BGB rewards ranging from 50 to 1,500 BGB, depending on their final leaderboard position.
Only orders placed after successful registration will count toward the promotion. Credits are calculated according to the actual execution date of Onchain buy orders and reset daily. New users who qualify for Bitget’s new-user bonus will be excluded from the existing-user reward pool to maintain fairness.
All rewards will be distributed within five working days after the campaign concludes and can be viewed in users’ spot accounts. API trades, sub-accounts, institutional participants, and market makers are excluded from this promotion. Bitget will disqualify any participants found engaging in fraudulent, manipulative, or automated trading behavior.
Aster Unveils Stage 4 Airdrop and $10M Trading Competition to Drive Ecosystem Expansion
Aster, a decentralized perpetual exchange, is entering a period of accelerated growth. After the strong performance of Stage 3, the platform has launched the Stage 4 “Harvest” airdrop program and will kick off the “Double Harvest” trading competition on November 17, featuring a total reward pool of $10 million. At the same time, Aster continues expanding its early-asset incubation product, Rocket Launch, broadening the pipeline of new token initiatives.
These incentive programs operate simultaneously, allowing users to earn multiple layers of rewards from the same trading activity, significantly boosting platform participation and market depth.
The Stage 4 airdrop pool represents 1.5% of the total $ASTER supply (around 120 million $ASTER) and is distributed evenly across six weekly Epochs. Running alongside it, the $10 million “Double Harvest” competition includes five independent weekly leaderboards, enabling users to receive both airdrop and competition rewards for identical trading behavior.
Rocket Launch Gains Momentum as a Core Growth Driver
Beyond the airdrop and trading competition, Aster Rocket Launch continues to gain traction. Designed to help early-stage projects accelerate by increasing liquidity and trading volume, the product has seen rapid adoption. In its first month, the platform launched five new token campaigns with a combined reward pool exceeding $3 million.
This growth reflects rising market demand for early-stage liquidity and token-launch mechanisms. Rocket Launch is quickly becoming the entry point for new projects seeking initial liquidity and user acquisition, while simultaneously becoming a major catalyst for Aster’s ecosystem expansion.
Infrastructure Expansion: Developing an On-Chain Order-Book Layer-1
In parallel with short-term incentive programs, Aster is fast-tracking its long-term infrastructure roadmap. During a recent AMA, the team confirmed active development of a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain featuring an on-chain order book with optional privacy. The chain is designed to execute order placement, matching, and cancellation directly at the protocol layer.
The goal is to deliver a CEX-like trading experience fully on-chain, combining transparency, self-custody, privacy, and high-speed execution. Internal tests and an initial public testnet are scheduled for late 2025, with mainnet launch targeted for Q1 2026.
Over the next two quarters, Aster also plans to expand the utility of $ASTER, including staking, governance, fee discounts, VIP tier benefits, airdrop qualification, and yield-enhancement integrations with DeFi protocols. The platform has added gold and index perpetuals and will further broaden its lineup of commodity- and equity-related instruments. Integrations with Trust Wallet, Safepal, Math Wallet, Lista DAO, and other ecosystem partners will also deepen.
Growing Global Presence and Industry Influence
Aster’s international profile continues to rise. CEO Leonard recently spoke at Binance Campus APAC in Korea, outlining the platform’s infrastructure vision to regional leaders. Aster is also scheduled to participate in Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai this December, reinforcing its global expansion strategy.
With multi-track incentives, a rapidly growing product ecosystem, and continued investment in core infrastructure, Aster is charting a steeper growth trajectory heading into 2026. The platform is advancing toward a hybrid model built on “on-chain order-book infrastructure + incentive-driven growth,” positioning itself to capture a larger share of the decentralized trading market and build the next generation of global on-chain trading infrastructure.
Monad Blockchain Launches With 100B Token Supply and Airdrop Program
The layer-1 Monad blockchain officially launched on Monday, accompanied by an airdrop of its native token, MON.
According to project documentation, MON has a total supply of 100 billion tokens, with 10.8% currently unlocked and in circulation. That circulating amount is split into two parts:
7.5% was released last week through a public sale on Coinbase’s Token Platform, priced at $0.025 per token.
3.3% is unlocking as part of the airdrop.
The Monad team describes the network as a high-performance blockchain designed to support a wide range of fast-growing sectors, including DeFi, payments and stablecoins, and institutional high-frequency finance use cases. The chain is also EVM-compatible, aiming to help scale the Ethereum Virtual Machine and support its next stage of development.
The remainder of the MON token supply is allocated as follows:
27% to the Monad team
19.7% to investors
4% to the Labs Treasury
38.5% for ecosystem development
Some community members on X criticized the distribution, arguing that the team allocation is higher than typical industry standards.
“Monad mainnet’s public launch marks a major step toward making high-performance blockchain infrastructure accessible to everyone. Developers shouldn’t have to choose between speed, security, and usability,” said Keone Hon, Monad co-founder, in a statement shared with CoinDesk.
“With Monad, we’ve worked to deliver all three—without requiring builders to abandon the tools and languages they already know. We’re excited to empower a new wave of applications and move blockchain technology closer to mainstream and institutional adoption.”
