Infinex's Token Launch Playbook: Why This Airdrop Strategy Matters

Cross-chain DeFi platform Infinex just dropped major news—after raising $65.3M, they’re gearing up for $INX token generation with a twist that’s worth paying attention to.

Here’s what caught our eye:

The Airdrop Mechanics Infinex is rewarding early believers with a 1:100,000 ratio to Patron NFT holders. Translation: hodl your NFT, get $INX, keep the PFP. That’s a cleaner approach than the usual “burn your NFT” plays circulating lately.

Broader Distribution Strategy They’re not betting everything on the airdrop. Sonar sales and Craterun events (their gamified engagement layer) will handle additional token distribution. Craterun rewards range from $INX vouchers to actual NFTs—Pudgy Penguins, CryptoPunks style assets. Users farm rewards through:

• Historical on-chain activity snapshot
• Perpetuals trading volume
• Platform engagement metrics

This multi-layer approach mirrors how serious projects are thinking about token distribution now—spreading risk, capturing different user segments.

The Infrastructure Play They’re adding Monad, MegaEth, and Fogo support. For a cross-chain aggregator, this matters. More chains = more surface area for trading volume, better gas abstraction story.

Why It Matters In a market where airdrop fatigue is real, Infinex is betting on participation depth over list size. The Craterun gamification + multi-chain support suggests they’re thinking about retention post-TGE, not just launch hype.

Worth tracking when it goes live.
