June is proving to be a busy month for EOS. First came their much anticipated mainnet launch and the 20% market growth which accompanied it. Then the mainnet launch stalled, and this was accompanied by the sudden global market dip of ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’; which saw EOS lose 30% of its value.
The mainnet launch attracted a lot of attention over the course of the last month, with much of it being positive. But now the headlines have soured, and questions are being raised about the team’s ability to clean up the hundreds of bugs still plaguing the platform; as well as the failure to reach a consensus among the platform’s block producers.
Regardless of the furore of the last couple of weeks, EOS remains a much hyped blockchain operating system, and it has a host of projects looking to launch themselves to success by starting on the EOS launchpad.
EOS is host to 18 projects who have announced airdrops for the month of June alone. Some of these have already passed, while some have gone relatively unnoticed. But there’s still plenty to come, so let’s take a look at some of the tokens are going to be airdropping to EOS holders before the month is out.
Lab Ledger aims to corner a very specific market – the scientific journal industry.
According to Lab Ledger’s problem-statement, they are seeking to redress the imbalances of the peer-review journal industry, which have seen subscription prices rise
in under twenty years. At the same time, leading scientific journals have become unbelievably
, and can afford to charge what are unreachable prices for many scientific researchers. This oligopoly which has emerged threatens to shut out serious scientific voices, simply because they can’t stump up the bribe required to have their research seen.
At least this is the picture painted by Ledger Labs, who aim to circumvent the ridiculous pricing of journal industry by moving the process over to the blockchain – in this case, the EOS blockchain.
While the idea may seem incredibly niche, this is one of the few attempts to transfer an industry onto the blockchain that actually seems to have some merit. The main obstacle for Lab Ledger will be adoption. How many scientists will publish their papers on a platform which no one knows exists? But that’s the same problem which faces many blockchain services, so Lab Ledger isn’t alone on that front.
Atidium are airdropping 900,000,000 ATD tokens on a 1:1 ratio for EOS holders.This amounts to 60% of their total token allocation, with the rest being split among the team and the marketing department.
Atidium aims to provide a cryptocurrency that will help users keep track of their finances, and includes a few unique features to help with general financial management.
One example is the proposed ability to ‘color’ coins – that is, to mark them as being for a very specific use. At the same time, Atidium proposes a shared wallet system, where you could allocate your son a token amount which could only be spent in a certain place.
The Atidium roadmap is still a long way from completion, and their level of ambition would require untold amounts of work; both technical and social. For Atidium’s application to be worth anything, it would need to secure adoption by hundreds, if not thousands of real world vendors. It’s not impossible, but certainly ambitious.
HorusPay is an upcoming EOS project which aims to provide a platform for payroll services. According to HorusPay’s website, typical payroll vendors charge up to 40% for their services, and HorusPay wants to cut out the middle-man and provide an automated system for the management of payrolls.
Users would presumably benefit from the core blockchain values of security and decentralization, and while the transfer of financial services to the blockchain is a viable idea, there are also many crypto projects looking to invade this space.
Blockchain platforms which focus on purely financial services tend to miss out on much of the typical cryptocurrency hype. The average crypto investor can’t tell the difference between the hundreds of ‘decentralized payment and remittance platforms’ which pop up every year. For HorusPay to make an impact, one would think they’d have to either show up with some kick-ass technology in tow, or ramp up the hype train with some partnerships or similarly promising announcements.
Prospectors is what’s known as a Massive Multiplayer Online Real Time Economic Strategy (MMORTES) – a game which focuses resource management and economic strategy.
The gameworld models the economic situation of the late 19th / early 20th century, and players must compete in the process of mining for gold.
The game has been alpha-tested for a while now and the team recently announced the transition to beta-testing towards the end of May. Gameplay videos can be found on YouTube, and Prospectors seems like it may have the potential to do well, even among the currently saturated blockchain-gaming ICO market.
By all accounts, Prospectors appears to have more going for it than the many CryptoKitties knock-offs that appear on a daily basis. While the game does involve buying assets and selling them on (the entirety of CryptoKitties), it also involves the extra layers of strategy afforded by the requirement that you actually set up a prospecting business.
This means that before you get to the gold mines, you’ll need to get your tools, resources and team all in order.
PGL tokens represent said gold and fuel the in-game economy. The marketing materials for the game claim that it operates on free-market principles; with in-game prices being reflective of the supply and demand of its user base.
If previous blockchain games are anything to go by, this probably means that game items will be priced exorbitantly upon launch, when there are too few players to make up the economy. However this is speculation, and Prospectors could yet prove to be the blockchain game that bucks the trend.
Many EOS airdrops are scheduled for the month of June, but some of them have undefined dates.
CETOS, for example, is a blockchain project which aims to become a facilitator for day-to-day healthcare services. They’ve set an airdrop date of ‘June/July’.
EOS Cafe aims to airdrop its BEANS tokens to users some time around June, but no clear date has been set. EOS Cafe has the long term goal of setting up EOS-focused coffee-shops and hack-spaces.
Another undefined airdrop date in June belongs to EOX – a proposed global crypto commerce platform where everything can be bought with cryptocurrency.
While the ONO Social Network rounds off those airdrops listed for unspecified dates in June, and will release their tokens in a 1:1 ratio against EOS tokens.
Many tokens have already dropped this month, with projects such as
Several are launching right now, or are due to launch in the next few hours, such as

Thanks Hacked team for this, please how does one get the air drop token, will they be available if you keep your EOS token on Binance for example, kindly guide on this, thanks
While some tokens have been airdropped automatically in the past, most of the time you’ll need to sign up with an email address. Sometimes you’ll need a Bitcointalk forum account, and sometimes you’ll need to be following the team’s Telegram page.
As for Binance, they just announced airdrop support for the following EOS-based projects: IQ, DAC and EON. The EON tokens just dropped a few hours ago, and all seems to have gone well. But don’t rely on exchanges to do airdrops; it’s not very common just yet.
For best results just go directly to the project website and follow the airdrop instructions.
I am holding my EOS in my Trezor. Do I have to do something in order to receive those airdrops or just wait and see them get in into my Trezor.
I know that Trezor interacts with the MyEtherWallet website to receive and store airdrops, but since EOS isn’t ERC20 any more I honestly don’t know what the protocol will be now.
I’ll reply to your comment again if I find an answer. In the meantime, just make sure you actually go and sign up for the airdrops. It’s very unlikely that they’ll just appear in your wallet automatically.
NEO and Gas Both Surge Into Double-Digits as Global Volumes Spike 21%

blockchain are glowing green for the day (Aug 27) as NEO (NEO) and Gas (GAS) both surge to double digit growth over twenty-four hours.
The spike comes in line with a surge in global trades which has seen a sudden influx of $1.8 billion within the last day – or 21% more than the previous figure of $9.14 billion seen earlier in the day.
NEO reached a daily low of $17.31 at around midnight (UTC) on August 26th. Throughout the wee hours of the morning the trade volume almost doubled, from $35 million to $70 million, and the price peaked at $20.18 just moments ago at around 20:00 UTC.
That brings NEO back to a weekly high, and a coin price not seen since the surge of Aug 17, when NEO recovered 25% of its price in four days. That was during the market rebound from yearly lows experienced in early August. The coin is still some way off its monthly high of $34.32 regardless of recent growth.
, the sister token to the NEO coin, and transactional currency on the NEO blockchain, has grown in lockstep with with its elder sibling today. From a daily low of $5.68 recorded at 04:00 UTC this morning, GAS grew steadily throughout the day but accelerated greatly as night time rolled around.
At around 18:00 UTC GAS spiked from $5.95 to a daily peak of $6.99 within two hours. That’s a 17% price hike in just over ninety minutes, and leaves GAS on 23% net gains for the day.
Today’s movements take GAS to a price not seen since August 8th, right before the token underwent the worst of the early August dip. Trade volumes have increased from $2.2 million to $3.7 million over the course of the day, with the majority of trades coming from OKEx.
When global trade volumes fell to $9.14 billion earlier today it marked the lowest point that daily trades had fallen since the dip of late March/ early April.
Over the course of the day traders returned to the crypto scene as global volumes increased 21% up to $11.1 billion. That number continues to edge upwards, and at the same time has been accompanied by a 2.8% leap in global market cap, with the total combined valuation of the crypto market rising from $214 billion to close to $220 billion.
With everyone wondering if we’ve hit bottom, today’s sudden surge could end up being significant. Although, the signs would be more promising if we saw Bitcoin and Ethereum take a similar path – something that hasn’t happened just yet.

It sort of warms the heart to see crypto pricing finally reacting to fundamental news after so many months where fear and greed seem to have been the dominant forces. Even so, that doesn’t necessarily mean we should simply accept just any news at face value. Take the case last week of Tron.
The price of Tron’s TRX currrency was up over 3% and nearly 6ovin the previous 7 days. That is a pretty impressive short term performance for the #6 ranked crypto. This brings its total cap to $1.3 billion.
In the interest of fairness we should mention that TRX is one of the most volatile of all. In the last two months the price has dropped over 50%. Wow, it took Bitcoin nearly 6 months to achieve that dubious distinction. So we don’t want set off a three alarm fire here but let’s take a quick look at what is going on.
On Friday CryptoNews featured the following headline: “
The headline refers to the listing of TRX on the Coinpayments platform. This represents good progress for Tron as it will allow the spending of TRX through the CoinPayments network. These guys appear to be the global giant with over 2.2 million businesses. If this is right, Tron is truly getting a huge boost on competitors.
CoinPayments wallet accepts over 960 different altcoins (including ERC20) and operates worldwide. The CoinPayments wallet is claims to be free for non-commercial applications. Merchants using the checkout system and API’s are charged a small 0.50% fee on incoming transactions, which is deducted during payment.
If the 0.50% fee is the complete change, If the 0.50% fee is the complete change Cryptocurrency Signal Finder Api
The fact that Tron developers are out to be the Ethereum killer puts them right along side of TenX that raised over $64 million last year as well Electrum BTC Wallet, Unocoin and other Ethereum wannabes. So, is it time to get crypto crazy over the Tron news? Let’s take a closer look.
I have a bias toward projects involving payment processing or just about anything that promotes the acceptance and use of crypto. Critics may scoff at some projects that don’t provide total anonymity. But that dismisses a key issue. While privacy is a vital tenant of the crypto world, until crypto can be used to buy goods and services, it will lack the status as a legitimate currency. Projects like Tron and others can change the picture.
A quick look at CoinPayments shows that Tron is making progress but has a way to go before reaching perfection. Estimates of revenues for this five year old company is around $6+ million. This places them toward the bottom rung of the top five closest payment competitors whose revenues run as high as $300 million.
With the agreement, TRX tokens can be used with some 2.2 million CoinPayments customers worldwide. This is nothing to ignore. However, much like the early days of Square, most of these customers are tiny online stores that are drawn to CoinPayments for their bargain fees. There are no big box stores or even large online retailers like Target.
So while the TRON news is good and the market has given the price as warm response, it’s too early for a standing ovation.

Loopring’s ERC20 LRC Token Soars on NEO-Based Token Airdrop
The Money Makers Club now has 6 of 15 available seats. Learn more here!
Loopring may be trading near its 2018 lows, but it’s currently enjoying a double-digit percentage gain in its ERC20-based LRC token. Loopring, which is behind a protocol for decentralized exchanges, is among the top ERC20 gainers in today’s market, having advanced 11% to $0.125 at last check on trading volume of approximately $3.5 million. But LRC remains a far cry from month-ago levels when it was trading at $0.274, not to mention early June levels of $0.544 or its January 2018 high of $2.12.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Loopring hovers at a neutral rating of 42, while the MACD level, which reflects momentum, is bullish. Indeed, Loopring appears to have momentum on its side, as evidenced by a 10% gain in the last week or so.
Loopring has issued separate tokens for the various networks on which it runs, including LRN, which is its NEO blockchain-based token. The NEO-based token has advanced a more modest 1.2% in the last 24 hours. Incidentally, Loopring is in the midst of an LRN airdrop, which will be directed to holders of the LRC token on Sept. 5 and which is serving as a catalyst for the gains in the ERC20 token.
To be eligible for the airdrop, investors must bind their Ethereum and NEO addresses. The airdrop ratio is “2 LRN per 100 LRC,” with a cap of 5,00 LRN. And investors must have completed a minimum of one trade using the Loopring protocol.
A token giveaway is a great promotion for generating attention, but it’s going to take more than that to dig this coin out of its lows. Let’s run through some of the recent developments.
Sydney, Australia-based XBrick exchange on Twitter touted its support of the LRC/ETH trading pair,
There has been a flurry of activity surrounding blockchain projects building on the Loopring protocol, including Upblockchain, There has been a flurry of activity surrounding blockchain projects building on the Loopring protocol Cryptocurrency Signal Finder Api ,” according to Upblockchain
. UpWallet is designed for P2P trading and “is built on top of [the] open-sourced loopr-ios app solution with a native Loopring DEX and a decentralized P2P trading feather via qr code sharing.”
AltDEX, which oversees cryptocurrency indices that are market-cap weighted, added Loopring’s LRC token to its top-100 index, according to Loopring Protocol creator Daniel Wang.
Over the last week, Loopring has bolstered its trading platform with the addition of a trio of altcoins — TUSD, TRUE and MOT.
Loopring is the N0. 88 cryptocurrency based on value and boasts a market cap of $71 million.
