The TON Foundation opted against a point-based system for airdrop rewards, instead relying on various on-chain metrics for users. Users trading 2-4 NFT collections were allocated 1 point, with points increasing proportionally with the number of collections traded.
Points were also assigned based on the number of NFT deals executed, NFT trading volume per user, and other factors. Participants could claim rewards in TON, the native token of the Ton blockchain, based on their accumulated points.
Participants with 2-5 points were eligible for a reward of 40 TON, with rewards increasing in line with accumulated points. This initiative, aimed at invigorating the NFT sector amidst its recent sluggishness, garnered significant attention from crypto market participants.

Meanwhile, amidst the airdrop event, the TON token experienced a price decline, increasing by 0.20% in the past 24 hours to reach $5.41. This decline mirrors the broader downtrend in the crypto industry today, contrasting with the positive momentum generated by the aforementioned development.
It’s noteworthy that the TON Foundation continues to make strides, recently launching Memelandia to promote institutional involvement in meme coins, further enhancing its cryptographic endeavors and fostering optimism among crypto enthusiasts.
