Overview of Based One App Airdrop
Based One App is a mobile-first super-app built on Hyperliquid (a HIP-3 ecosystem builder for perpetuals, spot trading, and DeFi), enabling seamless trading, Polymarket predictions, and stablecoin spending via Visa card. Backed by Ethena Labs, it focuses on unified asset management across chains like Arbitrum and Solana. The native $BASED token TGE is slated for Q1 2026, with airdrop eligibility based on Season 1 XP (snapshot October 6, 2025) and Season 2 Based Gold (ongoing 3-day epochs until early January 2026). Points convert to $BASED allocations at TGE, with boosts for lockups (up to 6 months). Recent update: sENA (staked ENA) holders earn Based Points directly via Ethena integration, viewable on Ethena's dashboard. No minimums for entry, but organic volume (e.g., $10+ trades) is key; sybil checks via wallet verification apply.
