On January 28, Moonbirds’ official X (formerly Twitter) account @moonbirds announced that $BIRB has officially gone live on Binance Alpha and several DEXs, and revealed the only official contract address as:
G7vQWurMkMMm2dU3iZpXYFTHT9Biio4F4gZCrwFpKNwG
The official also reminds that the Claim (distribution) function has not yet been activated. All information should be based solely on official X announcements and Discord notices. Community members are urged to stay vigilant and ensure asset security.
Regarding the token price performance, according to the latest data from Binance Alpha, $BIRB surged after listing, reaching a high of approximately $0.355, with a market cap exceeding $350 million.
According to official information, the total supply of $BIRB is 1 billion tokens, deployed on the Solana blockchain, serving as the core token of the Moonbirds ecosystem. Its positioning is not only for governance or rewards but also carries the long-term goal of expanding Moonbirds’ IP influence.
The Moonbirds team states that in the future, they will combine meme culture, physical merchandise, gaming, and multi-chain applications, aiming to develop Moonbirds into a crypto-native consumer brand with annual revenue potentially reaching $1 billion. 65% of the token supply will be allocated to community and holder-related reward mechanisms to enhance community engagement.
Moonbirds is a well-known NFT series launched on the Ethereum chain in April 2022, issued by PROOF Collective, consisting of 10,000 pixel-style owl PFPs. Each NFT is generative art with unique visual features, initially minted at 2.5 ETH.
The series quickly ignited market enthusiasm, accumulating billions of dollars in trading volume in a short period, becoming one of the most representative blue-chip NFTs at the time. Moonbirds features a “Nest” long-term holding mechanism, encouraging users to lock up NFTs to receive future benefits, airdrops, and priority access to physical goods.
The project was later acquired by Yuga Labs (BAYC team) and transferred to Orange Cap Games in 2024 for operation, with strategic focus gradually shifting toward IP licensing, game integration, and cross-chain development.
The Moonbirds team reiterates that the official airdrop claiming function is not yet fully open, and some NFT and SBT (Soulbound Token) holders still need to wait for further announcements.
Recently, multiple fake airdrop websites have appeared online, suspected phishing or scam pages, which could lead to wallet theft or asset loss. The official strongly urges:
