8lends, a decentralized crowdlending platform, has launched its ecosystem token 8LNDS on the Base blockchain. The token directly rewards users for activity on the platform through a transparent on-chain system, rather than relying on paid marketing or speculation.
About 8LNDS token
- token name: 8LNDS
- blockchain: base
- Initial supply: 100 million
- Initial price: 0.001 USD
- liquidity: 100% pairing with 100,000 USDC
- Emission model: Control of minting via on-chain reward system contract (minting can be disabled)
Unlike most tokens, 8LNDS is a marketing asset designed to reward user activity on the platform. They cannot be purchased and can only be earned by participating, but once received they are subject to a vesting schedule and can be sold immediately.
Tokens are minted solely for the purpose of matching real USDC-based rewards, reducing dependence on fiat currencies. Before each minting event, the system purchases and burns an equivalent amount from the open market, fixing the total circulating supply at 100 million. This ensures transparency, balance and long-term sustainability.
Token utility and reward program
The token is directly integrated into the platform’s ecosystem through an integrated reward smart contract and supports a variety of incentive mechanisms.
- Investment bonus:
All investors will earn 6% of their investment in 8LNDS, vested for 10 months. - Retrodrop and Airdrop campaigns:
The reward pool for Zealy and Galxe is approximately 5 million 8 LNDS. The final amount a user receives depends on a snapshot of their holdings at a given point in time.
Release roadmap
8LNDS deployment will occur in two stages.
- Stage 1 – Initiation and Benefit Activation:
Liquidity has been added and the reward system is now live, distributing 8LNDS through investment, airdrop, and retrodrop programs. This token will not be sold to the general public at launch, but holders will be able to freely trade it on DEXs. - Stage 2 – Ecosystem Expansion
Following the initial launch, 8lends continues to expand the token ecosystem and user accessibility. The next phase will focus on broader market exposure and deeper integration within the platform’s financial infrastructure, with details to be announced at a later stage.
This phased approach ensures sustainable growth of the token and rewards long-term community engagement while preventing spikes in speculation.
community incentives
To reward early users, 8lends is launching two community campaigns: Retrodrop and Airdrop.
Retrodrop is available to users who invest at least $100. Snapshots will be taken in mid-November and rewards will be automatically distributed shortly thereafter. The tokens follow a 10-month vesting schedule. 2.5% will be unlocked immediately and the rest will be released weekly. No billing required. All rewards are processed by the on-chain reward system and displayed on the user’s dashboard.
An airdrop will also follow, highlighting active contributors to the Zealy and Galxe campaigns. Exact distribution details and timing will be announced soon. What is confirmed: Rewards will be issued directly to eligible wallets based on verified engagement. Airdrop tokens are not subject to vesting.
Both campaigns are designed to strengthen long-term communities and ensure tokens reach users who actively support the platform. All rewards are issued through the on-chain reward system and displayed on the user’s dashboard.
“The launch of 8LNDS is our way of proving that DeFi can make a difference in the real world.” said Alexandr Lang, CFO and co-founder. “Our community isn’t here to chase the next hype cycle. They help real businesses get funding, grow, and make an impact. Crowdlending makes cryptocurrency participation tangible. That’s the future we’re building together.”
