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:

1. 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. [
2. Hydration – Polkadot’s leading DeFi chain and most advanced decentralized exchange. 
3. Ethereum – Home of the MYTH ERC20 token, which can be bridged to the Mythos chain via Snowbridge.
4. 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.

About the Mythos Foundation:

The Mythos Foundation is primarily responsible for the governance and development of the MYTH token and its ecosystem. It oversees initiatives and partnerships aimed at expanding the adoption of blockchain technology in gaming, including managing token distribution and supporting gaming incentives. It emphasizes the broader ecosystem, governance, and strategic partnerships, such as the collaboration with Polkadot for token swaps and airdrops.

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to unveil the World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2024, the world’s longest-running crypto trading competition. This year, WSOT pushes boundaries, integrating centralized and decentralized trading, allowing participants to experience the trustless trading of the future. 

Game-Changing Features Traders Will Love

Individual traders can battle in three arenas depending on their capital size: lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight. With separate prize pools for each league, the competition is fairer and ensures that talent wins the day, not account size. 

Furthermore, traders can add up to four subaccounts within their Unified Trading Account (UTA) and rack up PnL across multiple accounts and markets, increasing their chances of winning. Bybit’s UTA calculates margin across positions, unifies collateral, and improves capital efficiency so traders can operate multiple positions from one account, making it a killer tool for the rigors of competitive trading. 

Expanding into Decentralized and Centralized Trading

WSOT also includes Bybit Web3’s DEX Pro trading platform so participants can trade over 1 million decentralized tokens, including memecoins, DeFi, GameFi, and more. Participants can also take part in the first-ever Web3 Idol competition.

To play, traders earn votes through trading and completing daily tasks. Voters can support up to three projects daily and have the chance to win from a 1,000,000 MNT prize pool, including a 600,000 MNT grand prize for those who vote for the winning project and 200,000 MNT daily rewards. The winning project will receive exclusive CEO backing, prime listing, and marketing support, making it a key event in shaping the future of Web3.

Over 100 ecosystem partners and decentralized projects such as MomoAi and Tars Protocol from Solana, and Catizen, KTX Finance via Mantle will participate in the DEX Pro competition as part of WSOT. By marrying centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) trading, all crypto lovers can experience the wave of the whole ecosystem.

“Bybit aims to create industry best practices for onboarding users for both CEX and DEX to help create a broader landscape of crypto adoption,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO. “By combining these two elements, we are enabling the smaller projects and specialist traders to rise up the competition ranks.” 

10,000,000 Prize Pool and Participation Details

The prize pool for WSOT 2024 is bigger and better, with rewards including yacht cruises, Rolex watches, world travel tickets, and up to 10,000,000 USDT. The more participants join, the larger the prize pool grows, making this year’s competition the juiciest in crypto. 

To participate, simply sign up for WSOT when the event opens on October 1 and maintain at least $500 in your Bybit UTA account. All participants can invite friends to join WSOT and get more chances in the lucky draw. 

Over the years, Bybit’s WSOT has grown to historic heights, with nearly 117,000 traders entering competitions between 2020 and 2022. And in 2023, the competition attracted almost 120,000 traders globally. This resulted in a remarkable year-on-year trading volume surge of 42%, reaching a total trading volume of 70.5 billion.

World Mobile, the pioneering global web3 wireless network, has announced the launch of its blockchain infrastructure on Base today. This strategic launch will connect World Mobile’s unique communications-centric Layer 3 blockchain, World Mobile Chain (WMC), with Base’s Ethereum-based Layer 2 blockchain, and use Base as its settlement layer. A key outcome of this decision will be the incorporation of the Coinbase Smart Wallet into the World Mobile app, creating a seamless onboarding experience for new onchain users.

By launching on Base, World Mobile is set to accelerate its mission of building one of the world’s most extensive Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). The World Mobile network’s recent launch of its ‘triple play’ services—encompassing cellular, broadband, and value-added services—complements the launch on Base and EVM blockchains.

This announcement follows 12 months of significant achievements for the World Mobile network, including the rollout of global commercial network services across three continents and a groundbreaking aerostat deployment in Mozambique in collaboration with Vodacom and the GSMA. Additionally, World Mobile has recently celebrated the rapid sell-out of its first batch of decentralized wireless network infrastructure nodes (AirNodes) in under 36 hours, spurring its recent milestone of 100,000 daily active users.

Micky Watkins, CEO of World Mobile Group, stated: “Launching on Base marks a monumental step forward for World Mobile. Through combining our strengths, we can accelerate growth and innovation within the World Mobile network. By incorporating the Coinbase Smart Wallet, we will simplify user onboarding, making it easier for everyone to participate in our mission to connect everyone, everywhere.”

“Embarking on this journey with Base and our foray into the EVM ecosystem is a testament to our dedication to constructing the preeminent DePIN network on blockchain,” stated Zachary Vann, Head of Token at World Mobile Token. “By leveraging Base’s infrastructure, we can accelerate the development of our decentralized ecosystem, enhancing both the scale and functionality of World Mobile Chain.”  

The launch of World Mobile on Base underscores the rapid growth and importance of DePIN networks. These networks represent a shift towards more decentralized and resilient infrastructure, where users themselves become part of the network fabric. This model is crucial for extending connectivity to underserved regions and ensuring that everyone has access to essential digital services.

World Mobile’s innovative approach to decentralized wireless networks, coupled with its successful deployment of AirNodes and triple play services, positions it at the forefront of this transformative movement.

The launch will take effect on September 30, 2024. World Mobile remains dedicated to its vision of a world where everyone, everywhere, is connected. This milestone represents not just a technological advancement but a step closer to bridging the digital divide.

About World Mobile Group

World Mobile Group is democratizing global connectivity through its blockchain-based decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN).

Calyptus, the leading platform for Web3 job seekers, has released its inaugural Talent Titans Top 100 Web3 Employers list, highlighting the best companies to work for in web3.

Talent Titans is the definitive ranking of the Web3 industry’s best employers, based on the career prospects, salaries, job security, work environment and more. 

When hunting for a place to work in Web3, most people see few options other than to look at CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko to try and identify the most promising companies. Of course, this approach is ineffective, as those sites merely rank Web3 projects based on their market cap. But in fact, more than half of all employers in Web3 don’t even have their own token, which excludes them from those lists. 

Calyptus, the career platform for Web3, wants to give job seekers a better way to identify the most promising employers. With Talent Titans, it’s creating a place for newcomers in the industry to figure out where they should aspire to land their next job and get the best possible start in their new career. With all of the scams, doubt and uncertainty in the crypto industry, job seekers can benefit from a comprehensive ranking of Web3’s most rewarding companies to work for – namely, the organizations that put their people first, with a positive culture, opportunities for career progressions, and most importantly, a focus on unleashing innovation so their employees can fulfill their true potential. 

For Web3 companies, the Talent Titans list can be just as rewarding, providing an opportunity for them to stand out in terms of how they treat their employees and nurture their talents. 

“As the creators of Talent Titans, we’re proud to offer an invaluable guide for anyone looking to break into the world of Web3. This list shines a spotlight on the companies that are not only pushing the boundaries of innovation, but are also leading the charge in creating outstanding workplaces. It celebrates the people, culture, and talent teams that make these organizations exceptional, showcasing how they foster unique, work environments that define Web3. Talent Titans serves as both a celebration of excellence and a benchmark for companies to aspire to, encouraging continuous improvement in employee conditions and culture. At its core, it’s about elevating the standard for how we work in this new digital frontier.”

— Callum Crombie, CCO & Co-Founder of Calyptus

A Meticulous Selection Process 

The process of identifying Web3’s best employers is truly a collaborative effort, requiring input from every stakeholder. To that end, Calyptus has developed an inclusive methodology that combines community involvement with expert judgment to a balanced and accurate evaluation of every crypto company nominated. 

The top 20 companies that made it to the list are OP Labs, Consensys, Avara, Solana Foundation, Nethermind, Parity Technologies, Chainlink Labs, Matter Labs, Mantle, o1Labs, Rarible, Biconomy, Zerion, Trust Wallet, EtherFi. Li.Fi, Offchain Labs, Eigen Layer, Request Finance and Polygon Technology.
