The Core DAO hype is building stronger as the mainnet should be coming before the 'incoming' airdrop.
The Core DAO community was given an update on the details of the incoming airdrop, confirming the allocation percentage for airdrop participants and Web2 compatibility.
The anticipation for the Core DAO mainnet and the airdrop is building as the community of millions braces for the historic launch. The latest blog update from January 10 confirmed that the airdrop will be Web2 compatible along with being Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible, making the CORE airdrop open to the best of all the internet has to offer.
As mentioned in our last post, 25.03% of Core’s total supply is being airdropped to our vibrant community! Here are more details on how that works, as we strive together to make #CoreDAO the most decentralized blockchain 🫡 Airdrop Incoming! https://t.co/zEUvvjxeRB
Most importantly, no date was given, but the airdrop will come after the imminent mainnet launch.
The airdrop will also not give entire allocations immediately. All recipients will receive 25% of their allocation upfront, with the remaining three-quarters to be unlocked after two years. This initial 25% allocation will be available for staking and can also prevent potential coin dumping.
The Core DAO team informed the community that further updates are on the way and users should follow its social media accounts to stay appraised.
Core DAO is the official decentralized organization developing the Satoshi Plus ecosystem. It represents an opportunity for miners to access new revenue streams by contributing hash power to the chain. Inspired by the principles of both blockchains, Core displays a deep appreciation for the history of the crypto ecosystem paired with an even greater excitement for Core’s role in its future.

Users have a chance to become apart of NFT history with Sun's collection potential.
You could own a piece of art history! Justin Sun has announced he will be turning art from his personal collection into Non-fungible Tokens (NFT) available for purchase.
From classic names like Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol to more contemporary internet innovators like Beeple and Murat Pak, Sun has grabbed headlines for his acquisitions of influential art pieces over the years. Now, according to a tweet from January 11, Sun will turn an undisclosed number of pieces from his personal collection into NFTs.
🤗As a supporter of the arts and innovation of all kinds, I have collected works by @beeple, @muratpak, @fewocious, #AndyWarhol, #Picasso, and more great artists, and have made them into #NFTs.
🤩Now I’m bringing some of them together and debuting them to you. STAY TUNNED! pic.twitter.com/Uuvn9WpOYC
Sun, well-known for his tech entrepreneur roles like the founding of Tron Network and advising for Huobi, is a billionaire with exquisite artistic taste. He reportedly spent over $100 million on art in 2021 alone.
He’s already known for spending lavishly on expensive pieces, including $20 million on a Picasso piece, $2 million on a Warhol, and a $1.2 million bid for NFTs of the 12 Chinese Zodiac Heads. He is not afraid to bid big too. He won a $78 million bid for a piece called “Le Nez,” and notably failed on a $69 million bid for a collection of Picasso pieces in early 2021.
NFTs have held a transformative role across the art world in recent years, and Sun believes that they are not just a flash in the pan. He reportedly aims to create a fund of artworks registered as NFTs, using his personal collection to get it started.
He told Sotheby’s in a sitdown interview in 2022 that NFTs are the art of his generation.
More details are to come about how to participate in a piece of the history Sun is building. No mention yet of the chain the NFTs will launch on, but it will likely be Sun’s own Tron Network.
Tron is an open-source blockchain-based decentralized digital platform with its own cryptocurrency, called Tronix or TRX. Established in 2014 by Justin Sun and founded in 2017 by a Singapore non-profit organization, Tron Foundation aims to host a global entertainment system for the cost-effective sharing of digital content.

Less than two weeks into 2023, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has been tested on his New Year's resolution to "ignore" FUD, fake news and attacks.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has a magic number to deal with public criticisms leveled in 2023 at the world’s largest crypto exchange: “4.”
The number four represents one of CZ’s New Year’s resolutions he tweeted on Jan. 2, specifically: “4. Ignore FUD, fake news, attacks etc.”
That resolution has been tested as the public spotlight has intensified on Binance following the spectacular collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX/Alameda Empire and the sudden downfall of an erstwhile media darling that largely went unpredicted in the mainstream press.
Will try to keep 2023 simple. Spend more time on less things. Do's and Don'ts.
1. Education
2. Compliance
3. Product & Service
4. Ignore FUD, fake news, attacks, etc.
In the future, would appreciate if you can link to this post when I tweet "4". 🙏
CZ seems to be sticking to his resolution, for now, amid reports that Binance is losing more value than it said it had and that the exchange hadn’t kept up with rebalancing for its wrapped Binance-Peg BUSD token in the past.
More FUD incoming, will ignore!
4
In response to the BUSD article, Binance itself issued a response, saying that “the timing mismatch” issue had been identified and resolved last year.
Meanwhile, the separate issuer of the actual BUSD coin on ERC-20, Paxos, published a Twitter thread emphasizing that its coin is highly regulated and always backed 1:1 and that it does not issue the wrapped versions, such as Binance-Peg BUSD, which in turn is backed by Paxos’ ERC-20 BUSD.
1/ BUSD on ERC20 issued by Paxos is the largest regulated stablecoin in the market. It is always backed 1:1 and offers the highest level of transparency and oversight.
Then again, it appears CZ may have fudged a bit on his anti-FUD commitment, quoting a Tweet from a Binance supporter dismissing the report on Binance’s loss in value, adding “Think they may need an app to check the crypto market. 📷📷”
Think they may need an app to check the crypto market. 😂🤷♂️
Alright, will do 4, and ignore from here. https://t.co/GP67A5iThk
At a Davos event in Switzerland, CZ struck a far more positive tone. According to reports, he told an audience that Binance grew its employee headcount from 3,000 to 8,000 in 2022 and wants to expand a further 15%-30% in 2023.

New Hackathon will be a great opportunity to build before mainnet launch, but success will lay in the Core Team's speed of integration.
The Pi Network Hackathon begins on January 9, and over 1800 projects have signed up to participate.
The Pi Network Hackathon will run from January 9 to February 28, with over $30,000 in prizes up for grabs. The hackathon will be the second in the history of Pi Network, with the first coming in October 2021.
The latest iteration of the hackathon will focus on three themes: social media, games & entertainment, and consumer utilities. Participants are also welcome to develop on any innovation they choose.
The hype for the Pi Network hackathon is huge. The hackathon is a great opportunity for projects participating in the Enclosed Mainnet to showcase their work to a larger audience while also giving new projects a chance to build within the enclosed Pi Network.
BSC News Co-Founder and CFO, and notable Pi influencer, Ben Antes, believes the hackathon will attract attention from venture capitalists. This VC attention could be a welcoming sight to Pi Network projects which have been building behind closed doors for years.
My guess is this hackathon will have a lot of attention from the venture capital world. I hope a lot of great projects get the attention they deserve to build out top quality Dapps. And then it all ships quickly and mainnet opens 🙂
Many around the community expect projects to make great strides in the chosen themes, especially around the concept of Pi Coin and its utility. Pi Coin still has no connection outside the network, and pressure has been building as more exchanges and aggregators have begun listing the coin unofficially.
Ultimately, the success of the Pi Network Hackathon will rely on the Core Team’s launch of the mainnet. The timeline for integrating successful projects and applications will be key, as many projects on Pi Network already face financial difficulties due to the lack of Pi Coin fiat connections.
The Pi Network Hackathon has plenty of momentum, and the BSC News team will follow the developments as they come.
Pi Network is a novel cryptocurrency and developer platform that allows mobile users to mine Pi coins without draining the device’s battery. Pi’s blockchain secures not only economic transactions via a mobile meritocracy system but also a full Web3 experience where community developers can build decentralized applications for millions of users.
