TON airdrop is aimed at spurring growth within its network

The Ton Foundation continued its incentive program to attract users on Thursday after announcing an airdrop of $600,000 worth of TON tokens to NFT traders and holders. The airdrop was targeted at active traders and holders on Ton's NFT marketplaces Getgems, xRare and TonDiamondsNFT.

According to an announcement on X, Ton said it had already taken the snapshot, and active traders across the above marketplaces between April 11 and April 23 were eligible for the airdrop. The airdrop distribution criteria would be based on points earned from activities, including the number of NFT collections traded, total NFT trading volume and number of NFT deals performed.

3/ Points system & rewards

Participants earned points based on their activity across various metrics, such as:

▪️ Number of NFT collections traded: Up to 3 points for more than 5 collections
▪️ Number of NFT deals performed: Up to 3 points for more than 12 deals
▪️ Total NFT…

The airdrop follows earlier airdrops from Ton's Open League campaign, which aimed to boost activity within its blockchain ecosystem. For example, the Ton Foundation airdropped $120,000 worth of TON tokens to holders and traders of top tokens in The Open League's hackathon on Wednesday. Following this, Ton also reduced fees by 2.5x to continue attracting users.

These efforts are important since despite Ton's meteoric rise to break into the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, its on-chain metrics remain weak. Its total value locked of $156.56 million and on-chain trading volume of $8,484 is quite tiny compared to other top smart contract blockchains, according to data from DeFiLlama. Hence, Ton may be doubling down on integrations and reward programs to improve activity within its network.

In the past week, Ton has also partnered with Telegram and Tether to allow users of the social media platform to send and receive the USDT stablecoin for free.
