Binance Airdrops 305M Towns Tokens: Possible Ownership Prior to Aug 5 Listing on Exchange
Binance Announces TOWNS HODLer Airdrop
Binance, the global cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that it will be distributing Towns (TOWNS) tokens to eligible users as part of its HODLer Airdrops program. The airdrop will take place on August 5, 2025, and will include five trading pairs: TOWNS/USDT, TOWNS/USDC, TOWNS/BNB, TOWNS/FDUSD, and TOWNS/TRY.
Eligibility and Snapshot Period
To be eligible for the airdrop, users must have subscribed their BNB holdings to Binance's Simple Earn (Flexible/Locked) or On-Chain Yields products during the snapshot period from July 14 to July 17, 2025 (UTC). Binance will take an average of each user's BNB holdings during this window to determine their proportional share of the total airdrop pool, which consists of approximately 305.8 million TOWNS tokens, representing about 3% of the token's Genesis supply.
Distribution and Requirements
The distribution of the airdrop will be automatic, with eligible users seeing the TOWNS tokens deposited directly into their Binance Spot Wallets at least one hour before TOWNS trading begins. No manual claim is required. However, users must have completed KYC verification and be in eligible jurisdictions per Binance's policies. Users from certain regions are excluded, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Crimea, and non-government-controlled areas of Ukraine, among others.
About TOWNS
TOWNS is a token powering a new type of decentralized social protocol, an open-source, private group chat protocol with on-chain memberships and programmable access. It is designed to give communities complete control over who joins, who governs, and how they interact without centralized intermediaries like Discord or Telegram. TOWNS is launching on three networks: BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Base.
TOWNS raised $10 million in Series B funding in April 2025, led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z crypto), with contributions from Coinbase Ventures and Benchmark. The Base TOWNS address is 0x00000000A22C618fd6b4D7E9A335C4B96B189a38, the BNB Chain TOWNS address is 0x00000000bcA93b25a6694ca3d2109d545988b13B, and the Ethereum TOWNS address is 0x000000Fa00b200406de700041CFc6b19BbFB4d13.
The Future of Web3 and Social Interaction
TOWNS is the future of Web3 and social interaction with privacy, decentralization, and community governance as its means and ends. It allows users to create and govern online communities that are censorship-resistant, encrypted, and natively on-chain. These communities are called "Towns." Spot trading for TOWNS begins on August 5, 2025, at 14:30 UTC. Deposits for TOWNS open on August 4, 11:00.
