He told Cointelegraph:\n\n “If you can't transfer it, you are forced to sell it through them, which has the 1.5% fee… Which is kind of ironic, they bring this strong ‘we are anti-VC’ vibe to the table while being a profit factory for Paradigm.)”\n\nThe new potential token, POINTS, will function as a utility token, allowing the creation of social clubs on the platform, which may cost a 1.5% platform fee according to CBBFOE:\n\n “New smart-contract called Clubs. Anyone can create multiple clubs and a bonding curve among several options. 1.5% platform fee and 1.5% staking contract. Club keys are bought with $POINT.”\n\nThe new tokens will also be offered as rewards for users staking their Ether (ETH) and Points tokens in the Friend.tech smart contract.\nThe announcement caused concerns among crypto enthusiasts. Pseudonymous crypto trader MK commented:\n\n “I hate Eigen so much for starting this non-transferrable meta.”\n\nRelated: EigenLayer sees over 12,000 queued withdrawals — How far will TVL fall?\nNon-transferable tokens could reduce initial airdrop selling pressure\nWhile non-transferable tokens have been causing significant community outrage, they could benefit the long-term price action of the cryptocurrency, as tokens tend to see drastic declines following the airdrops.\nAt the end of April, The Omni Network’s OMNI token fell 55% in less than 18 hours following the airdrop, losing over half of its market capitalization.\nWormhole’s token (W) is another example, falling nearly 25% in value only a couple of hours after an airdrop on April 3. The token is down over 47% since the airdrop, according to CoinMarketCap.\n\nW/USDT, all-time chart. Source: CoinMarketCap\n\n\nCrypto airdrops are often riddled with professional airdrop hunters (or squatters) that farm the same airdrop with multiple cryptocurrency wallets with no intention of using the protocol in the long term and market selling the rewards after claiming.\nIn March 2023, it was revealed that airdrop hunters consolidated $3.3 million worth of tokens from the then Arbitrum (ARB) airdrop from 1,496 wallets into just two wallets they had controlled.\nRelated: LayerZero cross-chain interoperability protocol completes first airdrop snapshot","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2432851672"}
