What happened

Axis Robotics' token has the Base contract 0x5be75e3b0aff5d1a042a5363ae36acb1d6d755ea and had a TGE/listing on Oct 21 tied to a Kaito-based airdrop @yichuan_drive said the TGE would happen later that day at 12:00 UTC and most farmers received 50–250 $AXIS, about $35–45 @mztacat claimed 1 post = 13k $AXIS (~$5k), with a checker breakdown, listing that day, token sale taking approx. 90% of allocation and airdrop 10%

Why it matters

Axis is the first Base+Kaito airdrop that CT broadly called a win after months of InfoFi pain, so it resets expectations for the next launch; the same week's argument over its $100M ICO and $330M FDV shows the fight has moved from 'did the drop happen' to 'were the terms fair.'

Observed reaction

Split, leaning positive on the drop, critical on valuation. @mztacat, @0xaasim, @_mlnbro, @enmaart1 and @isebelanick are upbeat (a 'decent' airdrop, 'good vibes', strong bear-market execution, a browser-robot training pitch), while @yichuan_drive and @tinzeyxyz attack the numbers — 10% unlocked at TGE / 90% vesting at a $100M ICO versus a $330M launch FDV. Argument is about terms, not whether the drop happened.

Axis Robotics' token has the Base contract 0x5be75e3b0aff5d1a042a5363ae36acb1d6d755ea and had a TGE/listing on Oct 21 tied to a Kaito-based airdrop

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

05

@yichuan_drive criticized the ICO at $100M FDV with 10% unlocked at TGE and 90% vesting, versus a $WHUF ICO at $42M FDV with an 85% price guarantee, calling it an 'IQ test'

[1]

Angles

  • Build a '1 post = 13k AXIS' screenshot carousel using the stated allocation ranges (50–250 AXIS, $35–45; claimed $500–$5,000), always labelled as account claims
  • Explain the tokenomics fight with a side-by-side graphic: $330M launch FDV vs $100M ICO vs $WHUF's $42M / 85% guarantee — no price predictions
  • Answer the 'is this InfoFi's comeback or just one good drop?' question using @0xaasim's crackdown framing and the Kaito claim window

Formats in use

  • quote-tweet with checker screenshot
  • short narrative/commentary post
  • side-by-side FDV and unlock comparison
  • project explainer post
  • link post to allocation checker
  • Farsi congratulation post

Risks

  • The $500–$5,000 airdrop range, the 13k AXIS screenshot and the $330M/$100M FDVs are account-posted figures, not verified data; no price predictions allowed
  • The 50–250 AXIS and 13k AXIS claims contradict each other — present as 'accounts reported different figures', do not pick a side
  • @_mlnbro's pro-project post coupled with @0xsexybanana's reply reads as coordinated defence of Axis; don't present it as neutral sentiment
  • Translate the Chinese Farsi posts rather than amplifying '割韭菜' accusations; avoid harassment of individual critics

Airdrops before VS Airdrops now. Part 2 😅 ✍️ I saw folks on CT were farming @axisrobotics for the past year - Been skipping this stuff all the way (didn't have any conviction in it) - Seem like those who were playing with robotic arms... faded a bit - Discord roles I saw up to

People're complaining about $WHUF ICO at a $42m FDV with 85% price guarantee n 100% unlocked at TGE Meanwhile, base:0x5be75e3b0aff5d1a042a5363ae36acb1d6d755ea did its ICO at $100m FDV: 10% unlocked at TGE, 90% vesting and no details on the team allocation Yeah. Definitely an IQ

Airdrops are back. InfoFi is back. 👀 Today, CT finally got a decent base:0x5be75e3b0aff5d1a042a5363ae36acb1d6d755ea airdrop after a long time, and people look genuinely happy. I still remember the excitement of the InfoFi era, when airdrops like this were dropping almost every
