The second week of June was all about competition and registration windows: Pod Network is giving away a Rolex to its top trader on testnet, Backpack opened its stock-and-ETF beta to everyone, Doma kicked off Season 1 points, and every major exchange and prediction-market platform launched a World Cup activity at once.
Here is what to claim, register for, and trade before it closes.
Claims and Token Drops
TEA went mainnet earlier this month and the public drop interface is now live at itn.tea.xyz. Eligible wallets – anyone who passed Sepolia attestation or earned ITN Base points – can confirm destination and pull their allocation.
Bulk distributed a fresh round of AURA points to pre-deposit farmers this week. Active depositors who keep balances and trade volume get daily AURA accrual on Solana.
Base is publicly stress-testing its anti-sybil claim infrastructure at baseverifydemo.com – a working airdrop demo gated by Base Verify. Useful preview of how the next wave of Base Mini App drops will gate claims (one social account = one claim).
Pod Network: A Rolex for the Best Tester
Pod Network opened its Trading Challenge on June 3 and it runs through June 24, 14:00 UTC. Free testnet perps, leverage up to 20x, and one prize: a Rolex Submariner (Ref. 124060, ~$10–12K). Scoring is absolute P&L on a paper account that starts between $9K and $10.5K depending on registration timing and a waitlist deposit. Verify X (100+ followers or blue check), trade, place at #1.
Backpack Goes Live with Stocks
Backpack Securities moved from invite-only to public beta on June 9. Trade real U.S. stocks and ETFs alongside crypto and perps in one account, 24/5, with zero commissions through the end of June. Shares are held as real security entitlements under New York law – not synthetics – and cash dividends, brokerage transfers, and corporate actions are rolling out across the beta. Mobile is in the works.
Points Programs Worth Farming
Doma Protocol Season 1 is live. The cleanest task is Click & Claim: 100 free points every day, no transactions required. Larger multipliers come from trading domain tokens (10K pts per $1 in fees), liquidity provision, and the Hold-through-graduation mechanic on partner sites like boner.com, brag.com, and software.ai. Genesis/Founder badges from earlier phases still apply.
Curated × Coinshift launched a TVL campaign offering up to 30% APR on USDC for six months. Deposit through the Curated front-end into the Coinshift vault and the boosted yield is locked for the duration – straightforward stable yield with no farming gymnastics.
World Cup Special: Where to Predict, Trade and Earn
The 2026 World Cup turned every major CEX and prediction-market platform into a campaign engine this week. Pick the venue that fits your wallet:
- Binance – Pick & Win Football Challenge – Yes or No every matchday, $4M in rewards. Free daily pick, 8 picks per week unlocks the weekly prize pool.
- Polymarket – Thousands of markets: match winners, group results, first scorer, and more. $1.8B+ volume on the winner market alone. Trade odds like stocks, earn on every move – and yes, everyone is still waiting for that token and airdrop 👀
- Predict.fun – Predict Cup – $2M USDT prize pool. Pick up to 5 teams, earn Fan Points by holding shares in match markets. Top-500 paid USDT every round through group stage, R16, QF and beyond.

- Ourbit Super Cup 2026 – $4,000,000 USDT prize pool. Prediction market trading, daily tasks, Team Cards collection – all synced with the World Cup schedule.
Syndicate’s DropDaily echoed the theme three times in seven days: prediction markets on June 9, a fresh launch from ex-Polymarket builders on June 11, and a permissionless launchpad on OKX’s L2 on June 13 – free testnet, early on-chain activity, ecosystem still fresh.
Trading Competitions
Nado Season 2 is still open after canceling the invite system in May. Direct registration, weekly cash competitions, and a points pool tied to platform volume. A new round of prize boards is rolling on the “Trading Competition” tab.
Product Launches
The Sandbox Studio announced an AI-native game engine on June 10, with applications open for closed alpha. The pitch: idea → live multiplayer game in under two hours, six TypeScript templates, 300K+ voxel assets, and integration with Cursor, Codex, and Claude Code. Public access targeted for Q4 2026 – early creators get AI token grants and game-jam access.
Things to Watch
MegaETH Mainnet Campaign unlock lands on June 23: 250M MEGA (≈22% of float) hits in a single day. Worth pre-positioning around the Echo cohort and Terminal Season 1 distributions.
Monad shipped v0.14.5 to mainnet on June 11 and to testnet on June 4. Network upgrades have driven the ~25% speed improvement noted in early June; mainnet TGE timing still a moving target.
Carry-overs still open: Plume Season 2 claim, Ethereal Season 0, Ostium S2, Limitless Season 4, Pacifica points, and Printr Season 1 eligibility.
