Web3 This Week: Abstract Airdrop Hype, Trends.Fun, Cetus Relaunch & Polymarket’s X Partnership

Stay ahead in Web3 with the latest trends, potential airdrops, and emerging projects. This week, we’re covering the hype around Abstract’s potential airdrop, a look at Trends.Fun, Cetus Protocol’s relaunch, and the new Polymarket x X partnership making waves.

Airdrop Spotlight: Abstract’s XP System and Potential Rewards

Abstract is a new Layer 2 blockchain from Igloo Inc., the team behind Pudgy Penguins. The name comes from the idea of abstraction—basically, making complicated things simpler. That’s exactly what they’re going for: building a blockchain that’s easy to use and open to everyone, not just crypto pros.

Why an Airdrop Seems Likely

Since its mainnet launch in January 2025, Abstract, a Layer 2 blockchain built on Ethereum, has been turning heads with its XP points system. This system rewards users with points and badges for engaging with applications on the Abstract chain, from trading to minting NFTs.

While Abstract hasn’t officially confirmed a token airdrop, the crypto community knows that XP systems are often a prelude to token distributions. Projects like Optimism and Arbitrum have used similar strategies to reward early adopters, making it likely that Abstract could follow suit. The system tracks user activity, which could determine eligibility for future rewards, making now a great time to get involved.

How to Position Yourself for a Potential Airdrop

Besides earning XP and collecting badges through community engagement, many users have started speculating that holding the PENGU memecoin could play a role in potential token allocations or provide a boost in future airdrop rewards. While nothing official has been confirmed yet, this theory has been gaining traction among the community.

What we do know is that there’s already an existing XP boost tied to the ecosystem—holders of Pudgy Penguins NFTs, as well as PENGU holders, can get a special Discord role that increases their XP earnings. This setup has only fueled further speculation that PENGU could offer additional benefits down the line, especially with Abstract’s upcoming developments.

Safety First: Always stick to official Abstract channels to avoid scams. No airdrop is guaranteed, so only invest what you can afford to lose and keep an eye on updates from Abstract’s official X account.

Web3 Project Updates: What’s New and Noteworthy

Trends.Fun: Monetizing Your Social Media Presence

Trends.Fun is a new platform that’s shaking up how content creators earn in Web3. It lets you monetize your posts by having them “trended” through a community-driven network. When your post gains traction, you earn payouts via bonding curves—a mechanism that rewards creators based on engagement. Recent X posts from Trends.Fun show it’s all about capturing the moment and turning your influence into tangible rewards. For example, creators can earn from posts about crypto trends or hot topics, with payouts tied to how much attention their content gets. This is a fresh take on social media monetization, blending blockchain with content creation.

Polymarket x X: Betting Meets Social Media

In a game-changing move, X announced on June 6, 2025, that it’s partnering with Polymarket as its official prediction market partner. Polymarket, a decentralized platform built on Ethereum, lets users bet on real-world events, from elections to sports. This partnership means X users can now engage in prediction markets directly on the platform, making it more interactive and financialized.

Here’s why this is huge: Prediction markets outperform polls, pundits, and press cycles because truth has a price. Now imagine this built natively into the world’s largest media engine (X) and its agentic layer (xAI). In a world that runs on AI agents, agents need verifiable information. And agents will query markets, not media.

This is what truth looks like in a decentralized world:

  • Fast

  • Transparent

  • Democratic

  • Scalable
