Linea Surge (2024 program) optimized airdrop farming via early liquidity provision in "Volts" (monthly epochs). Key strategies: Join Volt 1 for max rewards (10% decay per Volt), secure early adopter boosts (pre-May 2024 LP), diversify across protocols (DEXs like SyncSwap, lending like Mendi), use whitelisted assets (ETH/USDC), and monitor Surge Heatmap for multipliers. TVL surged to ~$1.2B pre-TGE (Sep 2025) due to incentives, but much was mercenary capital. Post-airdrop (9.36B tokens to 749K wallets, fully unlocked), significant selling pressure emerged, causing ~93% price crash initially. Sustained unlocks and incentive phaseout risk TVL outflows, testing organic growth.

Cardano's Voltaire era (fully activated in 2025 via CIP-1694 and Chang/Plomin hard forks) empowers ADA holders to directly influence network decisions, including protocol upgrades and treasury spending, through on-chain voting. ADA holders vote via delegation to DReps (liquid democracy), with power proportional to staked ADA. This decentralizes control from developers, enabling community-driven governance. Treasury allocation: Funded by 20% of transaction fees (plus reserves), the self-sustaining treasury (1.7B ADA or ~$1.1B in Q1 2025) is now managed transparently via smart contracts. Withdrawals require community votes (DReps, SPOs, Constitutional Committee approval), ensuring efficient, democratic funding for ecosystem development.

Polymarket has confirmed a POLY token launch and airdrop, expected in 2026 after its U.S. relaunch. The airdrop will reward active users based on trading volume, profitability, and genuine engagement, not farming. The POLY token's key mechanism is decentralized governance: holders can vote on platform decisions like market listings, fee structures, upgrades, and proposals. Impact on users: It empowers the community, shifting from centralized control to user-driven direction, fostering engagement and ownership. Active traders gain influence proportional to holdings, incentivizing long-term participation while aligning incentives for accurate predictions.
