Fogo Drops Presale Plan, Chooses Airdrop-First Token Launch

Distribution Becomes the Centerpiece
Reframing Ownership Before Day One
Technology Takes the Lead
A Different Kind of Launch Bet
The move represents a clear philosophical break from the typical launch playbook, where pre-sales are often used to set early valuations and attract capital ahead of a network going live. For Fogo, the weeks before mainnet are now being treated as a distribution phase rather than a fundraising window.
Key Takeaways
Fogo has canceled its token presale ahead of its January mainnet launch.
The allocation will now be distributed via an airdrop to early users instead.
The project is prioritizing on-chain participation and community ownership over fundraising.
Fogo’s leadership says the decision was not prompted by market conditions or a lack of demand, but by a reassessment of priorities. With the core infrastructure already built and the network preparing to go public, the team concluded that selling tokens added complexity without materially improving the launch.
Rather than spreading attention across execution and capital allocation, Fogo chose to simplify. The supply that had been earmarked for sale will now enter circulation through an airdrop, shifting the emphasis toward early participation instead of capital contribution.
The project’s foundation described the change as a necessary pivot – one that allows the team to concentrate fully on mainnet readiness while ensuring that early users, not buyers, form the base layer of ownership.
Distribution Becomes the Centerpiece
This decision amplifies the role of Fogo’s existing points-based system. Over the past months, early testers and ecosystem participants have been interacting with the network through a variety of activities, from testnet applications to cross-chain asset transfers.
