Status (October 2026): $DAO mining in TONxDAO ended on August 11, 2025, when XDAO launched its main app and froze all farming (XDAO). The token, now called XDAO, has not launched, and no TGE date has been announced. In 2026 the team collected Solana wallets and then Arbitrum wallets, which it says are needed to claim. That window closed on October 2, 2026, with more than 107,000 wallets connected (XDAO).
Key Takeaways
- In October 2024, Blum announced a partnership with XDAO through TONxDAO, a Telegram mini-app.
- TONxDAO allows users to create and manage their own Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), transforming Telegram chats into income-generating communities.
- Users could use the mini-app to mine $DAO tokens, participate in tasks, and qualify for rewards until mining ended on August 11, 2025.
Disclaimer: Crypto airdrops are promotional events where tokens are distributed to existing holders of a cryptocurrency or to individuals who meet certain criteria. While airdrops can be a way to acquire tokens at no cost, they also involve risks. There’s no guarantee that the airdropped tokens will increase in value, and there may be associated fees or requirements. Additionally, airdrops can be susceptible to scams and phishing attempts. Always exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of any airdrop opportunity before participating.
What Is TONxDAO?
TONxDAO, launched in 2024, is a Blum Labs partner project that allows users to create and manage their Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).
The Telegram-based application was created by XDAO, a DAO platform that allows individuals and groups to create and manage their own decentralized autonomous organizations within Telegram or The Open Network (TON) blockchain.
How To Qualify For An Airdrop?
For the mechanics of this airdrop campaign, users only had to press and hold the button in the center of the screen instead of tapping.
Users could use the mini-app to mine $DAO tokens, participate in tasks, and qualify for rewards. In June 2026, XDAO relaxed the airdrop rules: everyone who took part in its educational campaign on TON will get tokens, even users who did not create a DAO, and those who created one and met all the conditions will get significantly more (XDAO).
These were the steps to join before mining ended in August 2025:
👉 STEP 1: Head over to https://t.me/tonxdao_bot and launch the bot.
👉 STEP 2: Press and hold the button in the center of the screen until the energy runs out to mine $DAO tokens.
👉 STEP 3: You can also create or join a DAO to boost your rewards.
👉 STEP 4: Complete simple tasks to earn more $DAO tokens.
👉 STEP 5: Invite other users to earn more $DAO tokens.
👉 STEP 6: Follow XDAO’s official channels (t.me/xdaoapp and x.com/xdaoapp) for TGE and claim news.
How To Check Your XDAO Airdrop Status
Open the Airdrop section in the XDAO mini app (@xdao_ton_bot) or at ton.xdao.app. A green “Bound” label next to your 0x address in the Arbitrum wallet section means your wallet is on the list. If the label is missing or the address is wrong, XDAO asks users to contact @xdao_support (XDAO).
XDAO says it will announce the tokenomics, TGE date and listings only through its own channels, and that tokens with similar names, such as $XDAO or $DAO, already listed on third-party platforms are not its token (XDAO).
