Bybit Megadrop offers users early access to SHARDS, distributing 60 million tokens ahead of the WorldShards game listing.
Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is giving users early access to SHARDS, the native token of the upcoming Web3 game WorldShards, ahead of its official listing on September 5.
According to an official announcement, the token will debut as the eighth project on Bybit’s Megadrop platform, which allows users to access new tokens before they hit the open market.
The campaign, running from August 28 to September 3, offers participants a share of a 60 million SHARDS prize pool.
WorldShards is a cross-platform role-playing game that combines traditional MMORPG gameplay with blockchain-based ownership through NFTs.
Players on PC, mobile, and consoles will be able to trade in-game assets using SHARDS tokens as the backbone of the game’s virtual economy.
Unlike many token launches, SHARDS is a fair launch token, with no allocation reserved for developers or early investors.
Earning SHARDS Before the Listing
Bybit’s SHARDS campaign uses a points-based system to determine allocations. Users who lock USDT or MNT in the exchange’s Fixed Term Earn product earn points toward their share of the token pool. Additional points can be gained through daily spot trading and completing platform tasks.
Apart from that, each participant can receive up to 1% of the total 60 million SHARDS allocation, with rewards distributed in three phases between September 5 and 9, 2025.
How Megadrop Gives Early Token Access
Launched in early 2024, Bybit’s Megadrop platform is designed to give users structured access to new tokens while also offering returns from fixed-term savings products.
The system allows participants to earn tokens without purchasing them directly, combining staking yields with airdrop allocations.
The SHARDS launch follows several notable projects on Megadrop. For example, COA, tied to the Alliance Games ecosystem, set a record with more than $105 million staked within 14 hours of its launch, demonstrating strong user demand for early token access through the platform.
Why This Matters
SHARDS allows users to access new tokens early without purchasing them, offering potential rewards with lower upfront risk. It also allows gamers and crypto enthusiasts to join a Web3 game economy from the start.
