Quick Takeaways

• ButterSwap’s native BUTTER token is distributed only through LP mining and staking - no pre‑minted supply.
• The most visible airdrop was a partnership with CoinMarketCap that handed out 30,000BUTTER to 500 winners.
• To qualify you needed to follow ButterSwap on Twitter, join their Telegram and Discord, retweet a specific CMC post, and add BUTTER to your CMC watchlist.
• Partner airdrops (e.g., with UXUY) often reward different tokens like MAPO, but the participation rules are similar.
• Keep an eye on the 0.05% fee‑buy‑back‑burn mechanism - it can affect future token availability.

What is ButterSwap and the BUTTER Token?

When you hear about BUTTER is a native utility token of the ButterSwap decentralized exchange, built on the HECO Chain, you’re looking at the core asset that fuels trading, liquidity mining, and staking on the platform.

ButterSwap is an automated market maker (AMM) and yield‑farm operating on the HECO Chain. It launched with a clear goal: give users equal chances to earn tokens by providing liquidity, rather than handing out pre‑minted coins.

The BUTTER token has a hard cap of 10billion units. All tokens enter circulation only through LP mining in farms or by staking in CREAM pools - there’s no initial allocation for founders or team members.

Tokenomics & the Deflationary Model

ButterSwap embeds a modest deflationary feature: 0.05% of every transaction fee is siphoned into the project’s treasury and used exclusively to buy back and burn BUTTER. Over time, this reduces supply and can increase the token’s scarcity.

Because the platform currently shows a zero circulating supply on public trackers, it likely reflects the early stage of LP mining. Once users start farming and staking, the circulating figure will rise.

Major Airdrop Campaigns

ButterSwap has run several airdrop campaigns, but the most publicized one was in partnership with CoinMarketCap. The campaign allocated 30,000BUTTER tokens to 500 winners, meaning each winner could receive up to 6,000BUTTER.

In addition to the CMC event, ButterSwap collaborated with UXUY. That partnership didn’t hand out BUTTER directly; instead, participants earned MAPO tokens through two mini‑airdrops - an “Interaction Airdrop” and a “Swap Airdrop”. Both used random reward ranges (5‑100MAPO for interactions, 20‑200MAPO for swaps).

How to Join the CoinMarketCap BUTTER Airdrop

The CMC airdrop required a mix of social‑media engagement and wallet setup. Follow these steps in order:

1. Make sure you have a HECO‑compatible wallet (MetaMask configured for HECO, Trust Wallet, or the built‑in UXUYbot Wallet if you plan to claim MAPO later).
2. Visit ButterSwap’s official Twitter account @butterswap and hit the follow button.
3. Locate the official airdrop tweet (ID 1407613165517475847). Retweet it and tag five friends in the comment.
4. Join the ButterSwap Telegram group at t.me/butterswap0 and say hello - the admins sometimes verify participation.
5. Sign in to your CoinMarketCap account, add BUTTER to your watchlist, and confirm the airdrop claim on the CMC airdrop page.
6. Finally, join ButterSwap’s Discord server discord.gg/tmqTZ96gpd. Some rounds required a Discord username link.

After completing all tasks, the system randomly selects 500 eligible addresses and distributes the tokens within a few weeks. Winners receive theirs directly to the wallet address they used on CoinMarketCap.

Partnership Airdrop with UXUY (MAPO Rewards)

While NOT a direct BUTTER giveaway, the UXUY collaboration shows how ButterSwap leverages external partners for community growth.

Two separate activities were offered:

• Interaction Airdrop: The first 1,000 daily users who accessed ButterSwap via the UXUYbot Wallet earned a random 5‑100MAPO.
• Swap Airdrop: The first 1,000 users to execute any swap on ButterSwap through UXUYbot received a random 20‑200MAPO.

Each wallet could claim the Interaction reward only once, but the Swap reward could be earned up to seven times per week, with no minimum trade size.

Rewards were credited to the UXUYbot Wallet 3‑5 business days after the event, making the process fairly quick.

Tips for Maximizing Airdrop Rewards

• Stay Active on Social Channels - ButterSwap often launches surprise airdrops on Twitter or Discord. Enable notifications.
• Use a Dedicated HECO Wallet - Keeping a separate address for airdrop participation makes it easier to track eligibility and avoid accidental token loss.
• Watch the Countdown - Many partner airdrops, like the UXUY interaction event, reset daily. Set alerts so you’re among the first 1,000 users.
• Verify Smart Contract Addresses - ButterSwap’s contract is 0xbf84…9eD943. Always double‑check before approving any token claim.
• Monitor the Buy‑Back‑Burn - The 0.05% fee‑burn can reduce future supply, potentially increasing the value of tokens you receive today.

Potential Risks & Red Flags

Even well‑intentioned airdrops can hide pitfalls:

• Phishing Links - Only use official URLs (twitter.com/butterswap, t.me/butterswap0, discord.gg/tmqTZ96gpd). Scammers copy the branding and ask for private keys.
• Wallet Compatibility - HECO is an Ethereum‑compatible chain, but not every wallet supports it out of the box. Using an unsupported wallet can lock your rewards.
• Tax Implications - In many jurisdictions, airdropped tokens are considered taxable income at the fair market value on receipt.
• Supply Dilution - While the burn mechanism offsets inflation, massive future airdrops could still dilute token value if demand doesn’t keep pace.
