Monad Airdrop in the Spotlight, Investors Still Questioning the Real Potential of the Project?

Jakarta, Pintu News – Monad Foundation recently announced the launch of its long-awaited MON token airdrop, attracting great attention from the crypto community. The airdrop will distribute MON tokens to 5,500 Monad community members and nearly 225,000 participants from the wider crypto ecosystem. The verified claim portal at claim.monad.xyz is now open and will remain active until November 3, 2025.

Divided Community: Enthusiasm and Doubt

The Monad Foundation emphasizes that this token distribution aims to reward those who “eat, sleep, and breathe crypto,” by giving priority to long-term blockchain users as key stakeholders before Monad’s public mainnet launch.

Initiatives such as the Monad Community Recognizer and Monad Cards have played an important role in the selection of eligible members. Recipients who meet the criteria of five categories-Monad Community, On-chain Users, Crypto Community, Crypto Contributors, and Monad Builders-can claim a combined allocation.

The Monad airdrop claim portal is live and offers authentication through Privy, allowing users to verify ownership through EVM or Solana (SOL) wallets, as well as Twitter, Discord, or email.

Monad Foundation warns to beware of copycat sites and emphasizes that there is no profit from premature claims. In addition, they have implemented anti-sybil protection by using Trusta AI to detect bots and manual verification to ensure account authenticity.

Market Doubts on Distribution Schedule

Although the claims portal has been launched, the market is still divided as to when full distribution will occur. Data from Polymarket shows that only 5% expect full distribution by October 31, while 93% expect it to happen by the end of November and 98% by December 31.

Reports from BeInCrypto reflect that despite the high enthusiasm, disappointment remains mainly because many testnet users did not qualify for the airdrop. MON targeted experienced Web3 users, ranging from DeFi traders to NFT collectors and developers such as members of SEAL 911 and Protocol Guild.

Broader Implications of Monad Airdrop

Analysis from Dragonfly in its “State of Airdrops Report 2025” shows that restrictive policies in the US have caused millions of American users to miss out on the opportunity to claim tokens, with losses estimated between $1.8 billion to $2.6 billion between 2020 and 2024.

Many blockchain projects choose to move abroad in search of regulatory certainty. Nonetheless, enthusiasm for Monad remains strong, and the timing and execution of MON’s airdrop will determine how much trust users will place in their mainnet debut.

Conclusion

With the claim window still open until November 2025, the crypto community is faced with an opportunity that might change the dynamics of ownership and participation in the Monad ecosystem. The success or failure of this airdrop will not only affect the perception of Monad but could also be an important indicator of future airdrop trends in the crypto industry.
