MegaETH

How the token was tied to milestones

MegaETH did not set a fixed date. Instead it tied the MEGA release to on-chain performance conditions. The first milestone was cleared, which started a seven-day countdown to a token generation event on 30 April 2026, according to Unchained.

Where the rewards came from

The project said it would not pay for listings or run promotional airdrops to exchanges. Rewards came instead through the MEGA Sonar Bonus Pool, which paid buyers in the public sale who ranked in the top 5,000 for mainnet activity, and through the Terminal points programme, where on-chain activity earned points. A separate piece of coverage says Terminal Season 1 ran to 23 June 2026 and distributed at most 2.5% of supply.

What we cannot confirm

Our sources mostly date from before April, so they do not prove the launch happened on schedule. A headline from DEXTools mentions airdrop claims being live with a 10 June deadline, but we could not read the article. We therefore mark the programme as ended on the strength of dates, and recommend checking the project's dashboard for the true state.

For anyone who took part, the most useful lesson is how this programme was built. Rather than a snapshot of past activity, MegaETH tied rewards to ongoing on-chain behaviour and to purchases in a public sale, and tied the token release to measurable network performance. That design reduces the chance that rewards go to people who did nothing, but it also made the process complicated, with several overlapping programmes.

Anyone trying to understand their own result should look at each programme separately, since the terms differed, and should not assume a guide written before April describes what actually happened.
