PopCoin

The game's rule for the token launch is unusual: the token arrives when the airdrop campaign ends or a "pop target" is reached. That gives the team a flexible trigger, which can be useful for them and unclear for players, since neither date is fixed in advance. AirdropAlert marks the airdrop as closed, so it may no longer be claimable.

A tap-to-earn game of this kind rewards time spent clicking, which is cheap for the project to run and expensive in attention for the player.

Several unrelated projects share the name, and it matters. A play-to-earn game called Popcoin on BNB Chain has a maximum supply of 1 trillion POP, according to CoinMarketCap and Zerion, though its listings are thin and look like boilerplate. Popcorn's governance token and an EOS raffle token are also called POP, and there is a memecoin too. Price pages for those tokens say nothing about the Hyperliquid game.

The honest conclusion is that the game probably ran a campaign that has now ended, and that the sources conflict on whether anything can still be claimed.

Click-to-earn mechanics also tend to favour automation. If rewards track clicks, people will script them, and teams then respond by trimming allocations. Players who clicked by hand often receive less than they expected.
