74% of $NATO's 1 trillion token supply was distributed in one of the largest airdrops ever — now trading live on Uniswap, AscendEX, and Poloniex

The Nation Token ($NATO), a decentralized token on the Base blockchain, has announced its official launch following a historic airdrop to one million active Base wallets.

The Nation Token, a decentralized token on the Base blockchain, has announced its official launch following a historic airdrop to one million active Base wallets, and is now trading live on Uniswap, Poloniex, and AscendEX.

One of the largest and most distributed token airdrops in blockchain history, 74% of the total 1 trillion $NATO supply was evenly distributed to 1 million randomly selected Base wallets. Each wallet received 740,000 $NATO, and the airdrop was completed in December 2024.

Those who missed out on the airdrop can now purchase $NATO on Uniswap, where it is listed in a triple-liquidity pair with WETH, and has been locked until January 1, 2030, further attesting to the project’s commitment to long-term decentralization. The contract address for $NATO on Base is: 0xd968196fa6977c4e58f2af5ac01c655ea8332d22.

Why the Nation Token Was Created

$NATO was born out of a growing concern with the direction of many modern cryptocurrencies — specifically, the increasing trend toward centralization. From token allocations to liquidity control and governance influence, too many projects are dominated by a small group of insiders, leaving everyday holders with little to no say.

The Nation Token aims to break that pattern by creating a truly community-owned and community-governed asset, where every decision and milestone is driven by the people, aligning of its mantra of #PowerToThePeople. A governance platform is currently in final development to enable token holders to vote on proposals and roadmap decisions — completing one of the final pillars of $NATO’s decentralization framework.

Speaking about the recent listings of $NATO, CMO Andrei Popescu said “This is a true experiment in decentralized financial empowerment, proving that the power of the people can shape the market like never before. Our goal is simple yet ground-breaking—to make $NATO the first token in history to reach high goals purely through collective effort.”

Momentum and Growth

Following its initial Uniswap listing, $NATO saw rapid growth in trading activity. In the two weeks, both Poloniex and AscendEX listed $NATO, resulting in a 10x increase in trading volume. Additional exchange listings are already in the pipeline.

To drive even further awareness and participation, the team has launched a community growth campaign at TaskOn. Participants can compete for a $1,000 USDC monthly prize pool, which will be split among the top 50 members of the TaskOn leaderboard, based on their engagement and learning activities around the project. This gives a further incentive for both airdrop recipients, as well as new token holders to retain their tokens.
