Arthur Hayes details how to claim the airdrop for his personal newly launched project Flop Network

Arthur Hayes has shared a four-step detailed airdrop guide for his new venture Flop Network. The steps are: 1) Generate an Ed25519 DID key pair for the AI agent, formatted as did:key:z6Mk..., which will serve as the agent’s on-chain identity and future airdrop receiving address; 2) Publish the public key to the Technocore Registry to let the network recognize the identity; 3) The agent signs a check-in message with the private key and sends an HTTP GET request to /lobby; 4) Securely store the private key locally to claim the airdrop allocation during the Q4 snapshot. Earlier on the 19th, Hayes announced in a post that he would end his retirement to lead Flop Labs and launch the FLOP token. He stated that FLOP will act as "food for AI agents", with no presale or VC involvement, adopting a 100% fair launch model to build a currency for the Agentic Economy. More project details will be revealed later, with a large-scale airdrop expected in Q4 2026.

Kinetiq is set to launch its new Hyperliquid Layer 2 (L2) network, Elysium, with HYPE as the native gas token.

Hyperliquid ecosystem project Kinetiq has announced the launch of Elysium, a new Hyperliquid L2 network designed to address key pain points including HyperEVM’s performance bottlenecks and the complexity of its dual-block architecture. Elysium will use HYPE as its native gas token, enabling seamless integration with HyperCore and HyperEVM. Deployed in close synergy with the Hyperliquid mainnet, Elysium’s initial block production performance is projected to far outpace HyperEVM levels. The network will support token issuance: projects can launch starting with a long-tail asset AMM, then gradually integrate Elysium’s PropAMM, HyperCore spot order book, and qualify for perpetual contract listings via HIP-3. For its economic model, 25% of Elysium sequencer fees will be allocated to application builders that consume block space, 25% will go to the Kinetiq treasury, and 50% will be used for programmatic purchases of KNTQ tokens on the open market. All purchased KNTQ tokens will be burned and transferred to the Hyperliquid Aid Fund.
