World’s Largest Crypto Exchange by Trading Volume Announces Airdrop for New Layer-1 Altcoin

In a new update, Binance says that it’s adding decentralized finance (DeFi) project Mitosis (MITO) to its HODLer Airdrops program, which rewards users based on their balance of BNB, the native asset of the crypto exchange.

“Binance is excited to announce the 34th project on the HODLer Airdrops page – Mitosis, a Layer 1 blockchain designed to unify fragmented crypto liquidity by enabling assets to be deployed across multiple chains simultaneously.”

By aggregating individual deposits, Mitosis gives all participants access to preferential yields previously reserved for large-scale providers.”
