Pod Network
Airdrop (Retrodrop)
Active
24 Apr 2026 - TBA
Pod Network is a pioneering L1 chain tailor-built for on-chain DEX trading. It replaces "block"-based validation with transaction streaming, where every node independently conducts attestation and the transaction is executed once enough nodes confirm its validity. On top of that, it delivers advanced features such as a built-in order book, batch auction matching engine, optimistic auctions, and more.
On April 24, 2026, Pod Network announced the testnet phase of its chain, granting access only to users who signed up on its waitlist and made a minimum 10 $USDC deposit. The CoinLaunch team assumes that the project may release a Pod airdrop at the end of the campaign.
Pod Network - Airdrop (Retrodrop) Overview
How to join Pod Network - Airdrop (Retrodrop)?
As of May 2026, the Pod Network testnet is not open to everyone. It whitelists only users who have engaged with the Pod Network waitlist, which is still open to join.
To proceed, you first need to get in the queue for network access. Visit the Pod Network waitlist page, connect your wallet, and submit a deposit of at least $10 USDC on Arbitrum. You can withdraw them anytime.
Once done, follow the project's X channel for updates on when the next batch of users will be granted access.
Upon receiving access, you are to interact with Pod Network in paper trading mode, as the product is still in its testnet phase.
There, you can conduct perp trades on available pairs, or even run multiple accounts to hedge assets across them in order to preserve your paper funds, which are likely limited on the platform.
Good Luck! 🍀
