The Liquidus (old) LIQ airdrop never really happened the way people remember it. If you’re searching for details about a big token drop from the original Liquidus project, you’re chasing ghosts. There’s no official record, no snapshot date, no claiming portal, and no public list of recipients. What you’re seeing online is a mix of outdated forum posts, confused traders, and bots republishing old price charts as if they were airdrop announcements.

The original Liquidus token, LIQ, was launched in 2020 as part of a mobile app that promised to simplify crypto earnings. It wasn’t a DeFi giant like Uniswap or a Layer-1 chain like Solana. It was a simple app - deposit your crypto, earn interest, get LIQ tokens as rewards. That’s it. No staking, no liquidity pools, no governance votes. Just a basic yield tool with a native token attached.

By late 2021, LIQ hit its peak at $4.80. People were talking about it on Reddit, Twitter, and Telegram. Some got rich. Others bought in late and got crushed. Then, in early 2022, the team quietly stopped updating the app. No announcement. No warning. Just silence. The website went down. The app vanished from app stores. And the token? It kept trading - but on tiny exchanges like BitMart and DigiFinex - with almost no volume.

Then came the split.

In 2024, a new team rebranded the project as Liquidus Foundation. They launched a new LIQ token on a different blockchain (Ethereum-compatible chain, not the old one). New contract address. New supply. New team. New app. They didn’t call it a fork. They didn’t say they were taking over. They just started marketing it like it was the same project - but better.

Here’s the problem: the old LIQ token never got migrated. There was no airdrop. No exchange. No claim window. If you held LIQ before 2022, your tokens are still sitting on that old blockchain - now worth about $0.008 each. The new Liquidus Foundation says they’re focused on building for the future. They don’t mention the old token. They don’t offer compensation. They don’t even acknowledge it publicly.

So why do people still talk about a Liquidus (old) airdrop?

Because of Gate.io.

In March 2024, Gate.io ran a trading competition for the new LIQ token. They offered $51,000 in rewards. The first 600 users who deposited LIQ got a share of $15,000 in LIQUIDUS tokens. That’s $25 each, roughly 6,100 LIQ tokens per person. But here’s the catch - this was a trading competition, not an airdrop. You had to trade. You had to deposit. You had to be fast. And it was for the new LIQ token, not the old one.

Some users confused this with a “retroactive airdrop” for old holders. They posted screenshots on Twitter: “Got my Liquidus airdrop!” But they were just lucky traders who qualified for a promo. No one got paid for holding LIQ from 2020.

There’s another red flag: the total supply of old LIQ is 93 million. Circulating supply? 6.55 million. That means over 86 million tokens are locked, burned, or lost. No one knows where they are. No one knows who owns them. The old blockchain hasn’t had a single meaningful transaction in over 18 months.

If you still have old LIQ tokens in your wallet, here’s what you’re looking at:

Price: $0.008165 (as of October 2025)
Market cap: $55,440
24-hour volume: $194
Holders: 4,680
Blockchain: Ethereum-based, but abandoned
Exchange support: Only 3 small exchanges still list it

There’s no way to swap these tokens for the new LIQ. The new team doesn’t recognize them. There’s no bridge. No contract interaction. No airdrop. Nothing.

Some people think this is a scam. Maybe it is. But it’s more accurate to call it a ghost project. The original team vanished. The new team built something similar - but legally, financially, and technically separate. They didn’t steal anything. They just started over. And the old holders? They got left behind.

There’s one more twist. In June 2024, a third-party platform called Galxe ran a “Liquid Crypto Airdrop Campaign” worth 1,100 USDC. It was tied to a different project - “reddex.” Not Liquidus. Not LIQ. But because the names sounded similar, it got reposted as “Liquidus airdrop” on crypto Twitter. Now it’s in Google search results. Confusion is everywhere.

If you’re looking to claim an old Liquidus airdrop, you won’t find it. There’s no website. No email. No Discord channel. No Twitter thread from the team. The only thing left is a token with no utility, no demand, and no future.

But here’s the real lesson: crypto airdrops aren’t free money. They’re marketing tools. If a project wants to reward you, they’ll tell you how. They’ll give you a deadline. A wallet address. A step-by-step guide. They won’t hide it in a forum from 2021. They won’t rely on you finding it through a Google search.

The Liquidus (old) LIQ token is a cautionary tale. It’s not about the money you lost. It’s about the trust you gave to a team that disappeared. The new Liquidus Foundation is building something real - but they didn’t inherit the old community. They started fresh. And if you’re holding old LIQ, your only option is to sell it for pennies - or keep it as a reminder of how quickly crypto projects can vanish.

Don’t chase ghosts. Check the contract address. Look at the trading volume. Read the official docs. If it’s not on the team’s website - it’s not real.

This is what happens when amateurs think crypto is a get rich quick scheme. You didn't earn this. You didn't build anything. You just hoped someone else would make you money. Pathetic.

I remember when people were so excited about Liquidus. I even gave my friend a tutorial on how to deposit. It's sad how fast things vanish in crypto. No one even says goodbye anymore.

Look the entire situation is a textbook case of how decentralized finance fails when there's no accountability the original team just ghosted no legal recourse no whitepaper update no community vote and now the new team is just exploiting the brand recognition like a corporate parasite you think they care about you no they care about their next funding round and your emotional attachment to a dead token is just a statistic to them

There's something poetic about a token that outlived its purpose. We build these systems to be trustless, but we still put our faith in names and logos. The real airdrop was the lesson: don't confuse momentum with value.

The new Liquidus Foundation is operating in a legal gray zone. While they haven't technically committed fraud, the deliberate ambiguity in branding and marketing constitutes ethical malpractice. This is not innovation; it's brand hijacking dressed as progress.

The fact that people still believe in this is why crypto will never be taken seriously. You wait for free money from a team that vanished? That's not investing. That's gambling with delusion.

You people are pathetic. You held a token from a project that had no roadmap, no audit, no real team, and now you're crying because it died? You didn't lose money. You lost the illusion that crypto is magic. Wake up. The market doesn't owe you anything. You were never a holder. You were a sucker.
