Iași, Romania, March 28th, 2025, Chainwire – 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. As of today, NATO is trading live on Uniswap, Poloniex, and AscendEX.
In December 2024, 74% of the total 1 trillion NATO supply — 740 billion tokens — was airdropped evenly to 1 million randomly selected Base wallets, with each wallet receiving 740,000 NATO. This marks one of the largest and most distributed token airdrops in blockchain history. Uniswap liquidity has been locked until January 1, 2030, reinforcing the 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, Andrei Popescu, CMO 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 (paired with WETH), NATO saw growth in trading activity. In the two weeks following, both Poloniex and AscendEX listed NATO (paired with USDT), resulting in a 10x increase in trading volume according to the team. Additional exchange listings are already in the pipeline.
To drive further awareness and participation, the team has launched a community growth campaign at https://taskon.xyz/TheNationToken.
Participants can compete for a $1,000 USDC monthly prize pool, split among the top 50 leaderboard members, based on 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.
