🚨 Monad’s MON Airdrop: A Clown Show or a Masterclass in Exclusion? 🤡

by

Well, butter my blockchain, if it isn’t another crypto drama unfolding faster than a Bill Bryson road trip goes off the rails. Layer-1 blockchain Monad has flung open its digital doors for the MON token airdrop, but let’s just say the party invites are as exclusive as a British tearoom at 4 PM sharp. 🍵

The claiming period ends on November 3, but the real fireworks started when the crypto crowd-especially those on X (formerly Twitter, because why not rename everything?)-realized the eligibility criteria were about as clear as a London pea soup. 🌫️ Hyperliquid (HYPE) traders and HypurrNFT holders are left scratching their heads, wondering if they accidentally wandered into a blockchain version of *The Hunger Games*. 🏹

Hyperliquid and HypurrNFT: The Forgotten Stepchildren of the Airdrop

Monad promised the moon to Hyperliquid users, Phantom perps enthusiasts, and HypurrNFT holders. But as it turns out, the moon was just a mirage. Reports suggest that HypurrNFT holders are about as eligible as a penguin at a desert party. 🐧☀️ Even traders with volumes over 200 million on perps are getting the cold shoulder. One disgruntled user summed it up perfectly: “This airdrop is a joke.” 🤡

Monad plans to sprinkle its tokens across 235,500 users, including social media cheerleaders, NFT whales, DAO voters, and anyone who’s ever coded in their sleep. But here’s the kicker: only 5,500 wallets-a measly 0.74% of their Discord crew-made the cut. The rest? Well, they’re getting airdrops to 225,000 random addresses, presumably because Monad loves making new friends, even if those friends have no clue who Monad is. 🤷‍♂️

Critics Sharpen Their Keyboards: Monad’s Airdrop Under Fire

DeFi researcher Coin Metrika didn’t hold back, calling out Monad’s airdrop strategy with the kind of sarcasm that would make Bryson proud. In a scathing takedown, Metrika quipped:

You have roles in Discord that are difficult to obtain-thank you, we’re not interested in you because you’re poor! You participated in our testnet-thank you for helping us test the product for free, which we sold to investors for a lot of money. Dressed up in clown costumes and shot viral videos to promote the @monad brand-thank you, we laughed out loud at you. You have money that you’ve shown on the blockchain-let’s be friends, here’s your airdrop!”

Ouch. That’s got more sting than a British summer’s worth of wasp encounters. 🦟

The Hyperliquid and HypurrNFT communities are fuming, and HYPE’s price isn’t helping-it’s down 13% in the past week, trading at $39. At this rate, the only thing dropping faster than the token price is Monad’s reputation. 📉

So, what’s the moral of this crypto tale? Maybe it’s that airdrops are like British weather: full of promise, but ultimately disappointing. Or perhaps it’s that Monad should’ve taken a leaf out of Bryson’s book and kept things simple, clear, and-most importantly-fair. 🧐
