It’s been a long wait—TermMax airdrop query opened this afternoon.
After guessing for so long, we finally see the real thing today~
First, let me do some quick math. Now TermMax’s market cap is about $180 million, total supply is 1 billion tokens, and 1% is roughly 1.8 million U. Previously, Booster already distributed 0.2%. If Alpha can still get 0.8%, then the pool would be 1.44 million U. Assuming 50,000 people participate, that’s only about 30 U per person.
So I don’t think there’s a need to desperately grind for distribution right now. The real threshold likely lands around 200–220 points. Pushing much higher hard may not be the best value.
That said, it’s still possible that Alpha stays at 0.5%—since the current TVL is already at 90 million, registered wallets are 1.5 million, and daily active users are 90,000.
But what I care about more is the project itself.
Previously, I treated TermMax as a fixed-interest lending protocol. But this time, I’ve taken it apart again—FT, XT, and limit orders—and it feels like the ambition is actually bigger.
FT/XT break down the returns, terms, and risks of the separated capital. And limit orders are even more interesting: lenders can set their own minimum return, while borrowers can lock in the maximum cost. Interest rates are no longer entirely dictated by the protocol—capital can quote its own rates and match with the right counterparties.
So from this perspective, what TermMax is doing isn’t just lending—it’s more like building a matching market for on-chain liquidity.
Of course, liquidity is the final test. If the order book lacks depth, even beautifully designed pricing could still turn into “no demand at the price.”
So after the airdrop, I’ll focus on order depth, the aggregator’s slippage, and whether the XT price can truly reflect market sentiment.
As for the airdrop this afternoon?
I’ll check first.
This time I’m not guessing—how much actually lands in my wallet is the real answer.
