The MYTH Airdrop Distributes Rewards to Polkadot Users in a Large and Transparent Airdrop Event
Yesterday, the Polkadot DAO and Community commenced distributing an airdrop of 10 million MYTH tokens to over 450,000 Polkadot (DOT) wallets as an inaugural, collaborative action between the Mythos and Polkadot ecosystems.
The airdrop follows the previously announced collaboration between the two entities and is a historic milestone in the industry leaders’ successes at the forefront of blockchain gaming and Web3 innovation. Users can claim their rewards and “teleport” their tokens to the Mythos Chain via the airdrop portal at https://airdrop.mythos.foundation, transforming the airdropped tokens to native MYTH, which powers the Mythos gaming chain.
The airdrop distribution began on Sep. 30th and will conclude within seven days.
Airdrop Overview
This airdrop is more than just a distribution of tokens—it’s the product of several rounds of feedback from the Polkadot community, making it the most transparent airdrop ever created. The airdrop was refined with input from the Polkadot community, including input from key Polkadot ecosystem stakeholders and leaders from organizations including Scytale Digital, The Kusamarian, OpenGov.Watch, ChaosDAO, PermanenceDAO, and BlockDeep Labs.
The airdrop was constructed and published via Dune Analytics, led by blockchain services firm Colorful Notion, with an audit conducted by Parity Technologies, allowing full transparency and community insight throughout the process.
Users can login to the airdrop portal on desktop (mobile support coming soon) and claim the MYTH to a native Mythos chain address. With MYTH users can begin operating on the Mythical Marketplace, transacting on the Mythos chain and readying themselves for further incentives expected to be announced in the coming weeks. The 10 Million MYTH airdrop is also intended to complement the ongoing Mythical Forest campaign, in which holding native MYTH tokens gives users a multiplier effect on rewards, allowing them the chance to earn from a 2 million MYTH token pool incentivizing social tasks and quests.
Airdrop Criteria Looking to Reward the Most Active Users
The goal of the two campaigns is to spure participation, with the currently live Mythical Forest Campaign focused on social quests and the MYTH airdrop focusing on rewarding active Polkadot users—those who have engaged in core activities like staking, voting in governance, and executing cross-chain (XCM) transactions; Polkadot’s signature feature that highlights its unparalleled interoperability. A total of 128,796 active wallets are receiving rewards, with individual wallets receiving up to 1,337 MYTH based on their level of engagement.
Users who had participated more actively saw a significantly higher share of the rewards pool. For example:
- If one had staked their DOT, they could have received additional MYTH tokens.
- If one had engaged in cross-chain transactions (XCM)—Polkadot’s unique feature allowing seamless transfers across different chains.
- Even more rewards were available for voting in Polkadot’s governance system (OpenGov) and participating in crowdloans.
This airdrop incentivizes both active and passive participants in the Polkadot ecosystem, rewarding those who have fully embraced Polkadot’s unique advantages. For users who simply held DOT but didn’t actively participate, 347,885 “inactive” wallets still received MYTH tokens, ensuring everyone with a stake in Polkadot benefited from this community-driven initiative. In both cases the wallet must have held between 10 DOT and 5000 DOT at the time of snapshot.
The MYTH token: Expanding Across Chains
The Mythos blockchain gaming ecosystem, in collaboration with and support of Mythical Games, is demonstrating the power of multi-chain interoperability with the Mythos chain and MYTH token, which is now supported across four blockchains, three of which are secured by Polkadot:
- Mythos – The native blockchain of the Mythos blockchain gaming ecosystem. Users can interact with projects like the Mythical forest campaign by holding their MYTH here. [
- Hydration – Polkadot’s leading DeFi chain and most advanced decentralized exchange.
- Ethereum – Home of the MYTH ERC20 token, which can be bridged to the Mythos chain via Snowbridge.
- Asset Hub – A Polkadot system chain, which acts as the focal point of liquidity entering the Polkadot ecosystem and a hub to connect all parachains.
This multi-chain capability reinforces Mythos’ commitment to being chain-agnostic, aligning with Polkadot’s vision of interoperability across blockchains. Users are able to access and manage their tokens through all major ecosystem wallet UIs including Nova Wallet and SubWallet for mobile users, as well as Talisman and SubWallet on desktop, with initial support for the airdrop portal coming from Talisman and SubWallet on desktop devices.
Future Campaigns and Gaming Incentives
In addition to the current campaigns, the Mythos Foundation has reserved millions of additional MYTH tokens, for community building, gaming incentives and more, available to those with active accounts on the native Mythos Chain. An additional reserve will be used to drive long-term engagement of token holders and gamers.
More on the Mythical Forest Campaign: 2 Million MYTH Tokens Up for Grabs
Running alongside the airdrop is the Mythical Forest Campaign, where participants can complete social tasks and earn points towards a 2 million MYTH token rewards pool. The more tasks completed, the more MYTH tokens participants can claim, making it an exciting opportunity for the entire Web3 community. Holders of native MYTH tokens are further incentivized with bonus rewards.

The Huddle01 decentralized Real-Time Communications Network is a multi-sided network with Media Nodes, suppliers of dRTC bandwidth for participants and consumers of audio/video meetings
On November 6, 2024, Huddle01, a leading decentralized real-time communications layer, will launch its media node sale. Huddle01 is setting new standards in decentralized communication, offering a robust and efficient solution to the challenges faced by traditional real-time communication (RTC) providers. Since 2023, Huddle01 has hosted 6 million minutes for more than 100,000 events.
The first dRTC Network
Huddle01 is the first Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) for RTC or audio/video conferencing. Huddle01 coordinates unused internet bandwidth through node operators to enable seamless audio-video communication via its innovative decentralized, or dRTC network.
Unlike most DePINs, Huddle01 is built from the demand side, addressing the high operational costs and geographical latency issues faced by centralized RTC networks. Founded during Covid-19 as Indian schools moved online, Huddle01 replaced centralized communication systems, which route calls through distant servers — often halfway across the world — causing significant delays and poor performance for video conferencing.
By reducing the reliance on centralized data centers, Huddle01 also minimizes developers’ server costs for audio and video calls by up to 95% compared to AWS, ensuring cost-effective and high-performance communication.
Huddle01’s app layer Huddle01 Meet integrates Web3-native tools, allowing users to connect wallets, use NFT profile pictures as avatars, and host token-gated meetings. Video recordings can be securely stored on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), emphasizing the platform’s commitment to decentralization and security.
Led by CEO and Co-Founder Ayush Ranjan and Co-Founder and CTO Susmit Lavania, Huddle01 has an experienced team with 15+ years in RTC and 5+ years of token engineering. Key leadership positions at Huddle01 are held by alumni of BlockScience, ConsenSys, Polygon, Cardano, Persistence, CoinDCX, and Guardian Link.
Nodes lead to improved latency
Huddle01 Media Nodes – the atomic unit of Huddle01’s dRTC network – provide the necessary bandwidth to encode, decode and route audio/video packets for uninterrupted audio and video communication across the globe.
“Google Meets and Zoom streams 300 million minutes per day. If Huddle01 captures just 1-5% of this market in the next 12 months, we would have triggered the highest web3 adoption ever.” CTO Susmit Lavania explained.
While latency issues, or lags and glitches, in the developing world hinder innovation, in truth, they hinder productivity everywhere. Distance education, streaming, gaming and healthcare can all be improved by better internet services.
“These nodes will power a network that already outperforms the incumbent web2 competitors on latency where there is a large cluster of nodes, and is capable of improving lags across the globe,” says Ayush Ranjan, CEO of Huddle01.
“We are excited to launch this node sale, because as we sell more nodes, the benefits for consumers and businesses will only grow. Node operators are incentivized to run a node, allowing them to create more value for themselves but more importantly, they can actually notice the improvement in latency in all their applications,” added Ranjan.
Huddle01: Revolutionizing Real-Time Communication with DePIN
Huddle01 Media Node Sale features
- 46,900 Huddle Media Nodes are available with pricing starting at $320

About Huddle01
Huddle01 is a decentralized real-time communication (dRTC) network for audio and video streaming – DePIN for RTC – that has clocked in 6 million+ minutes of meetings to date. The dRTC network eliminates the dependency on centralized servers for real-time communication across the globe.
Huddle01 is democratizing connectivity over cyberspace by enabling people to access best in class bandwidth without relying on local physical infrastructure. The network has raised $6M to date and is backed by marquee angels like Balaji Srinivasa, Stani Kulechov and leading VC funds like Hivemind, Protocol Labs, Superscrypt, Consensys and others.
Huddle01 makes it possible to build high-quality audio/video applications in minutes. Leveraging its suite of SDKs, multiple web3 applications have integrated the composable Huddle01 SDKs as their video communication layer.

The BITmarkets crypto exchange has published its end-year update for its crypto study on the game-changers for crypto in 2024, entitled “Revisiting the Game-Changers for Crypto”.
Amongst the listed assets, which include cryptocurrencies and other digital assets with the potential to transform the crypto world as we know it, an emerging newcomer is Sui—a blockchain token that is gaining popularity and significance within the decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and technology.
“Sui’s continued innovations and strategic partnerships position it as a leader in the DeFi space. With its low transaction fees, high-speed performance, and growing ecosystem, Sui is set to further expand its influence in the blockchain sector,” commented Ali Daylami, Head of Data Analytics at BITmarkets, on why Sui deserved to be listed among this year’s game-changers, alongside Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum, Solana and Cardano.
The list of crypto game-changers is part of the updated crypto market study. BITmarkets’ analysis recognizes Bitcoin’s historical significance as a pioneer in the cryptocurrency space, but the exchange does not expect it to be among the assets driving major market shifts in 2024.
About BITmarkets
BITmarkets is a cryptocurrency exchange that offers 24/7 support in 15 languages.

In many cases, crypto exchanges and the cryptocurrency industry in general have been criticized for lack of security. This is because, throughout the history of crypto, many scandals have occurred regarding security. Often crypto exchanges have failed to protect themselves and their users from cyber attacks, thus being hacked and losing millions. However, in recent years, with the increase in cryptocurrency adoption and the involvement of large institutions in the industry, security has begun to be taken more seriously.
To prevent such problems and to have high user security Bitunix the fastest-growing exchange in the world has successfully completed a thorough penetration test and bug bounty program in collaboration with Hacken, a major cybersecurity firm specializing in the blockchain and crypto industry. A penetration test is a planned hacking attempt on a system or network to find weaknesses and improve its security. As part of this test, the exchange underwent a thorough security audit to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
This 2024 penetration test shows Bitunix’s commitment to user security and the seriousness with which it treats this matter by taking a significant step in ensuring the highest standards of security for its users. It also proves that Bitunix security protocols surpass industry standards and that transparency is a priority for the exchange.
User Security Enhanced with Bug Bounty Program
Bitunix treats the security of user funds and data with the highest priority. Bitunix believes that exchange failures have increased user uncertainty, raising concerns about the security and integrity of platforms.
Therefore, in addition to the penetration test, Bitunix also implemented a bug bounty program, which will serve as an extra layer of defense for the exchange. Through this program, Bitunix encourages the global community of security experts and ethical hackers to continuously test the platform and report any issues or vulnerabilities.
According to Bitunix, this program strengthens the platform in terms of security, helping it to be one step ahead of any potential attacks and ensuring that any possible issues are quickly resolved before they can affect users. Furthermore, this demonstrates Bitunix’s commitment to safeguarding user assets by leveraging external expertise.
Bitunix Strengthens User Protection by Partnering with Hacken
User confidence and trust depend on how secure they feel; if security is not taken seriously by the exchange, this can lead to user uncertainty and panic. Cyberattacks can result in stolen assets and trust loss, leaving users unsure about their funds.
Therefore, as proof of its commitment to user security and following many efforts for users to have peace of mind, Bitunix has partnered with Hacken. From now on the latter will perform constant audits of the exchange. With Hacken’s ongoing audits, Bitunix is committed to maintaining a safe environment for its users. Hacken is a leading and trusted blockchain security auditor and plays a key role in securing digital platforms. This partnership with Bitunix, the fastest-growing exchange in 2024 underscores their dedication to advancing security standards within the digital finance sector.
“Our partnership with Hacken is part of our mission to provide the most secure trading experience possible”, said Arron Lee, Co-founder at Bitunix. “We’re ensuring that our platform stays ahead of cyber threats, giving users tranquility each time they trade.”
These steps to strengthen security have been made as part of the efforts to improve the overall experience of platform users since Bitunix has also recently launched its Proof of Reserves (PoR), in which case the exchange has verified that it has the reserves for users. This also shows the commitment that Bitunix has for full transparency with users. Furthermore, CoinGecko, a top cryptocurrency data aggregator and asset management platform, has ranked Bitunix as the 13th exchange globally based on trust score.
About Bitunix
Founded in 2021, Bitunix is one of the fastest-growing crypto derivatives exchanges in the world, achieving millions of users around more than 100 countries in just one year, and already offering over 250 coins for trading. Recently, major exchange rankings like CoinGecko have positioned it in the global Top 15 (by trusted rate).
Bitunix offers unique features that make it the most advanced crypto trading platform in the world (such as multi-window systems where the user can trade simultaneously on up to 8 different charts).
Thus, ease, security, and transparency are the main reasons why traders choose Bitunix for their daily trading, with advantages such as: Leverage up to x125, deep liquidity, lower trading fee, 24/7 customer support, reserve verification/audits, and a strong adherence to regulatory compliance.

According to the team, the gaming industry, which is projected to reach $125 billion by 2032 according to Global Market Insights, is undergoing a shift with the rise of Web3 gaming. Web3 is changing how gamers interact with the digital world by promising digital asset ownership and earnings opportunities within games. The W3GG protocol acts as a part of this transformation by offering players ownership of in-game assets and empowering developers to try and reward users directly.
W3GG’s decentralised gaming protocol allows gamers the chance to earn blockchain-based rewards, with the intention that contributions like in-game achievements, time spent, and community building are recognized and rewarded. Furthermore, the W3GG token offers gamers the ability to engage and shape the future direction of the ecosystem.
Expanding Market Reach
The listing of $W3GG on Gate.io, one of the top 10 global exchanges by trading volume, and MEXC, another global exchange known for its focus on emerging blockchain projects, ensures that the token will be available to a wide and diverse user base. Additionally, the decentralised nature of Uniswap allows users to trade $W3GG seamlessly and directly, providing the ability for liquidity and ease of access for decentralised finance enthusiasts.
Position in the Web3 Gaming Ecosystem
According to Delphi Digital, Web3 games and metaverse projects raised nearly $673 million from January to June 2024, underscoring the rapid evolution of this space.
W3GG, with its decentralised gaming protocol, and growing ecosystem of over 70 different web3 games, is hoping to capitalise on this growth. The protocol’s native token aims to not only fuel in-game transactions and rewards opportunities, but also enable users to participate in the governance and future direction of the platform. By leveraging the potential of blockchain technology, W3GG is aiming to establish itself as a key player in this multi-billion-dollar market.
