NUUM Airdrop Details: How Bit.Country’s MNet Distributed Tokens

Key Takeaways

• The NUUM airdrop was distributed via the Kusama‑based Pioneer network using NEER tokens.
• Eligibility required participation in Crowdloan ID 2096‑39 (209,494KSM) from Nov2021 to Oct2022.
• 30% of rewards were released at the Token Generation Event; the remaining 70% vests linearly over 12months.
• Referral bonuses added 5% extra rewards, split equally between referrer and referred.
• Current NUUM price sits around $0.002 with low liquidity; claim windows have closed but you can still track vesting.

Imagine signing up for a crypto crowdloan in 2021, only to find out months later you earned a handful of tokens that are now worth a few cents. That’s exactly what happened to many early supporters of Bit.Country’s MNet ecosystem. The project ran a multi‑stage airdrop that blended Kusama’s experimental Pioneer network with a Polkadot parachain called Continuum. If you missed the original claim window or you’re still curious about how the distribution worked, this guide breaks everything down - from the token’s purpose to the exact vesting timeline.

What Is NUUM and Where Does It Live?

NUUM is the native utility token of MNet - a metaverse‑focused blockchain infrastructure built by the Bit.Country team. MNet operates two parallel networks:

• Continuum on Polkadot, where NUUM powers 3D world creation, NFTs, and play‑to‑earn economies.
• Pioneer on Kusama, a canary chain that runs experimental features and distributes rewards in the form of NEER tokens.

Continuum currently holds Leased Core ID 34 on Polkadot, with its lease secured until 20October2025. That means the parachain will stay online for at least another year, giving NUUM a solid chain foundation.

How the NUUM Airdrop Was Structured

The airdrop didn’t drop NUUM directly to participants. Instead, early backers earned NEER on the Pioneer network, and those NEER tokens were later swapped for NUUM after the Token Generation Event (TGE) on 29February2024.

Key elements of the distribution:

1. Crowdloan participation: Users locked KSM (Kusama) to help MNet win Kusama Auction 13. The total raised was 209,494KSM (≈$3.17M).
2. Reward rate: 72+NEER per 1KSM contributed.
3. Immediate release: 30% of earned NEER was minted at the TGE.
4. Linear vesting: The remaining 70% streamed out over 12months, with monthly checkpoints.
5. Referral bonus: An extra 5% of the total reward pool was split 2.5% to the referrer and 2.5% to the referred user, but only the first 1,000 participants qualified.

Because NEER only trades on Gate.io, many participants had to first move their NEER to a supported wallet before swapping for NUUM on the Continuum parachain.

Distribution Schedule at a Glance

Current Market Snapshot for NUUM

As of 12October2025, NUUM trades around $0.001958 per token, giving the project a market cap of roughly $259K and a fully diluted valuation of $1.95M. The daily volume sits at $8.84K, which translates to a volume‑to‑market‑cap ratio of about 3.4% - a sign that liquidity is still thin.

Supply numbers are a bit confusing because the self‑reported circulating supply (132.43M) slightly exceeds the total supply (132.41M). The maximum cap is 1B NUUM, with a sizeable employee reserve of 30M tokens that remains largely locked.

Price history shows a dramatic swing: an all‑time high of $0.6046 on 12March2024 (a 99.68% drop since) and a low of $0.0009996 on 2April2025, from which the token has recovered about 95%.

How to Claim Any Remaining NUUM Rewards

If you participated in the original crowdloan, you should have already received the initial 30% and be on the monthly vesting schedule. To see your balance and claim pending installments:

1. Visit the official MNet dashboard (login with your Polkadot/Kusama wallet).
2. Navigate to the “Airdrop” tab - the UI shows a breakdown of “Claimable NUUM” and “Vested NUUM”.
3. Connect your wallet (e.g., MetaMask with Polkadot.js or Fearless Wallet) and hit the “Claim” button for the available amount.
4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet; the claim incurs a small network fee (≈0.001DOT).
5. After claiming, the tokens appear in your account and can be transferred to supported exchanges (currently only a few, like Binance’s “Other” listing) or kept in a staking pool on Continuum.

Note: The claim window for the initial release closed in March2024, but monthly vesting claims are still open until the final tranche drops in early 2025. If you never linked a wallet to the dashboard, you’ll need to open a support ticket on the Bit.Country Discord and provide proof of KSM contribution.

Risks and Things to Watch

• Liquidity crunch: With only a handful of exchanges listing NUUM, large sell orders can move the price sharply.
• Vesting delays: If the project misses a monthly distribution, the vesting schedule stretches, delaying your full payout.
• Contract migration: In late2024 the team moved NUUM to a new contract. Always double‑check you’re interacting with the latest address (0x… new address as announced on the official blog).
• Regulatory outlook: As a utility token tied to metaverse services, NUUM may face classification changes in certain jurisdictions.

Staying active in the community channels (Telegram, Discord, Reddit) is the best way to get real‑time updates on these risk factors.

Future Outlook for MNet and NUUM

The Polkadot lease runs through October2025, meaning Continuum will stay on‑chain for at least another year. The team has hinted at a “Phase2” rollout that includes:

• Cross‑chain bridges to Ethereum and Solana, enabling NUUM to be used in broader DeFi ecosystems.
• Enhanced land‑minting tools that reduce the cost of creating a new Bit Country from 5NUUM to 1NUUM.
• A revamp of the rewards engine so that community‑driven events can distribute NUUM directly, bypassing the NEER conversion step.

If those milestones hit on time, the token could see a fresh influx of demand, especially as more creators adopt the “12‑second metaverse builder” workflow.
