“Biggest Airdrop Ever”: What’s Behind Cardano Founder’s Bold Claim?

• Charles Hoskinson plans to airdrop to 37 million users across eight blockchains.
• The airdrop excludes venture capitalists and insiders, focusing on retail users.

Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson has unveiled what he calls the “biggest airdrop ever,” which will distribute tokens to 37 million blockchain addresses. He reiterated the announcement during his appearance at Consensus 2025 in Toronto and further detailed it at Paris Blockchain Week 2025.
