Mitosis Foundation Launches MITO Airdrop With Pre-Funded Gas Fees

On August 28, 2025, the Mitosis Foundation activated the MITO Genesis airdrop, set to end on September 11, 2025, with gas fees covered for participants.

This airdrop, distributing 10% of MITO’s total supply, highlights growing interest in protocol-centric innovations, potentially affecting market dynamics and participant engagement.

MITO Genesis Airdrop Kicks Off with Covered Gas Fees

The MITO Genesis airdrop went live with gas fees pre-funded for participants, indicating a strategic move by the Mitosis Foundation. Eligible users, such as protocol testers and NFT holders, have until September 11, 2025, to claim.

Participants have options to claim their MITO tokens or lock them for potential additional benefits. This approach aims to increase user engagement by providing clear incentives.

“Claimants can either claim all MITO immediately or lock claim as tMITO, redeeming for 2.5x MITO after 180 days.” — Mitosis Foundation

Currently, no statements from government bodies or key opinion leaders have been made about the airdrop. Community reactions have been cautious but optimistic, reflecting broader interest.

Market Insights and MITO Token Performance

Did you know? The Mitosis Foundation’s approach of pre-funding gas fees is reminiscent of earlier strategies in the industry like Uniswap, which also aimed at lowering barriers for new users in its ecosystem.

Mitosis token (MITO) trades at $0.21 with a market cap of $40.57 million according to CoinMarketCap. Trading volume experienced a 49.53% increase over the past 24 hours. The token’s supply is capped at one billion.

Coincu experts argue that the air-drop-driven market activities might spur short-term volatility. However, the Mitosis Foundation’s systems could enhance its modular liquidity protocol’s sustainability in the long term.
