About the Verse Airdrop and Rewards Program

The Verse airdrop program is part of our broader strategy to drive sustainable growth within the Bitcoin.com Verse ecosystem. In addition to the airdrop program, we’re set to release an in-app, quest-based rewards system. This will boost acquisition and retention by supporting and guiding users in their journey from Bitcoin newcomers to power users who can benefit from the full range of decentralized finance opportunities available.

Airdrops of VERSE tokens, as well as quest-based rewards, will be allocated from the 35% of total supply dedicated to ecosystem incentives, as outlined in the Verse white paper. Additional airdrop proposals will be made for our community to vote on via Bitcoin.com’s Verse Community Governance mechanism.
