BUTTER Airdrop by ButterSwap: How to Participate and What You Need to Know

If you’ve heard about the BUTTER airdrop from ButterSwap, you’re not alone. Many crypto users are curious - is this real? How do you get in? And more importantly, can you actually earn something valuable? The short answer: yes, but it’s not as simple as signing up and waiting. ButterSwap’s airdrop campaigns are tied to specific actions, partnerships, and timing. And if you miss the window, you might not get another chance anytime soon.

What is BUTTER Token?

BUTTER is the native token of ButterSwap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) and yield farming platform built on the HECO Chain. Unlike many other tokens that were pre-mined or sold to investors upfront, BUTTER has no pre-sale and no private allocations. The only way to get it is by providing liquidity (LP mining) or staking in CREAM pools. This design was intentional - to give everyone an equal shot at earning tokens, no matter how big or small their wallet is.

The total supply of BUTTER is capped at 10 billion tokens. But here’s the catch: as of late 2025, there’s no circulating supply listed on CoinMarketCap. That doesn’t mean the token doesn’t exist - it means most of the supply is still locked in farms, staking pools, or treasury reserves. The platform uses a deflationary model: 0.05% of every trade fee goes into a buyback and burn fund. That means over time, fewer BUTTER tokens exist in circulation, which could increase scarcity and value.

How the CoinMarketCap BUTTER Airdrop Worked

The biggest BUTTER airdrop to date was run in partnership with CoinMarketCap in mid-2021. It offered 30,000 BUTTER tokens total, split among 500 winners. That’s an average of 60 tokens per person - but winners could get anywhere from 100 to 6,000 BUTTER tokens, depending on luck.

To enter, users had to:

1. Log into their CoinMarketCap account
2. Follow @butterswap on Twitter
3. Retweet the official airdrop tweet and tag five friends
4. Join the ButterSwap Telegram channel
5. Join the ButterSwap Discord server
6. Add BUTTER to their CoinMarketCap watchlist

Each step was verified automatically. No manual review. No exceptions. If you didn’t complete all six tasks, you were disqualified. The campaign didn’t require any deposit, wallet connection, or transaction. Just social engagement and account verification.

Winners were chosen randomly from all qualified participants. There was no way to increase your odds by doing more - only by doing all the required steps correctly. And the rewards were sent directly to the winner’s CoinMarketCap wallet address, which had to be linked to a compatible crypto wallet like MetaMask.

Other Airdrops: The UXUY Collaboration

ButterSwap didn’t stop at CoinMarketCap. In 2022, they partnered with UXUY, a wallet and DeFi aggregator, to run two separate airdrop campaigns - but this time, they didn’t give out BUTTER tokens. Instead, users earned MAPO tokens.

There were two ways to earn:

• Interaction Airdrop: The first 1,000 users each day who accessed ButterSwap through the UXUYbot Wallet received 5 to 100 MAPO tokens, randomly assigned. You could only do this once per wallet address.
• Swap Airdrop: The first 1,000 users each day who completed a trade (swap) via UXUYbot got 20 to 200 MAPO tokens. You could do this up to seven times a week - once per day.

No minimum trade size. No lock-up period. Rewards were automatically sent to your UXUYbot Wallet within 3 to 5 business days after the event ended. This was a smart move by ButterSwap - they incentivized real usage, not just sign-ups. People had to actually use the platform to earn, which helped drive real activity on HECO Chain.

How to Know If a New BUTTER Airdrop Is Live

There’s no public calendar for ButterSwap airdrops. They don’t announce them months in advance. Instead, they drop announcements suddenly on their official channels:

• Twitter: @butterswap - this is where most announcements happen first
• Telegram: t.me/butterswap0 - real-time updates and community alerts
• Discord: discord.gg/tmqTZ96gpd - often used for verification and support
• Official website: butterswap.org - check the "Airdrop" or "News" section

Always verify the source. Scammers often create fake Twitter accounts or Telegram groups pretending to be ButterSwap. Look for the blue checkmark on Twitter. Check the URL of the Telegram group - it must be t.me/butterswap0. If it’s anything else, it’s fake.

When a new airdrop launches, the post will include:

• Exact start and end dates
• Required actions (social follows, wallet connects, etc.)
• Token type (BUTTER or partner token)
• Eligibility rules (geographic restrictions, wallet compatibility)
• How and when rewards will be distributed

If any of those details are missing, treat it as suspicious.

Why ButterSwap Uses Airdrops

Most DeFi projects use airdrops to solve one problem: user acquisition. ButterSwap operates on HECO Chain, which is less popular than Ethereum or BSC. Without a big user base, liquidity dries up, and the platform becomes useless.

Airdrops fix that. By giving away free tokens, they attract users who might otherwise never try a lesser-known DEX. Those users bring liquidity. They trade. They stake. And eventually, they stick around - even after the airdrop ends.

The partnership model (like with CoinMarketCap and UXUY) is especially smart. It lets ButterSwap tap into existing communities instead of building from scratch. CoinMarketCap has millions of users. UXUYbot Wallet has thousands of active DeFi traders. By partnering with them, ButterSwap gets exposure without spending a dime on ads.

What You Should Avoid

There are scams everywhere in crypto. Here’s what never happens in a real ButterSwap airdrop:

• You’re never asked to send crypto to claim rewards
• You’re never asked to connect your wallet to a random website
• You’re never told to pay a fee for "early access" or "priority listing"
• You’re never promised guaranteed high returns

If someone says, "Send 0.1 ETH and I’ll send you 5,000 BUTTER," that’s a scam. Always assume it’s fake until proven otherwise. ButterSwap has never asked for money in any airdrop. Ever.

Also, avoid third-party airdrop aggregators. Sites that list "all active airdrops" often include expired, fake, or low-quality campaigns. Stick to official channels only.

Future of BUTTER Airdrops

ButterSwap says they "periodically do airdrop of BUTTER and Blind Box with different partners." That means more are coming. But when? No one knows. The team doesn’t give timelines. They work quietly, then announce when they’re ready.

What’s likely next? More partnerships with wallet providers, DeFi dashboards, or blockchain analytics tools. Maybe airdrops tied to NFTs or new features like options trading or lending. The platform is still evolving.

If you want to be ready, do this now:

1. Follow @butterswap on Twitter
2. Join the Telegram group
3. Join the Discord server
4. Add BUTTER to your CoinMarketCap watchlist
5. Set up a HECO Chain-compatible wallet (like MetaMask with HECO network added)

That’s it. No deposits. No fees. Just staying informed. When the next airdrop drops, you’ll be one of the first to know - and one of the few who can actually qualify.

Can You Still Get BUTTER Tokens Today?

Yes - but not through airdrops. Right now, the only way to get BUTTER is by providing liquidity on ButterSwap’s Farms or staking in CREAM pools. You’ll need to swap another token (like HT or USDT) for BUTTER on the DEX, then lock it in a farm to earn more.

It’s not free. But it’s fair. And if you’re serious about DeFi, this is how real yield farming works - not by chasing free tokens, but by contributing to the ecosystem.
