Gate Web3 BountyDrop web version launched, Shib Owes You airdrop campaign starts with 10 million SOU distribution

Gate Web3’s airdrop aggregation platform BountyDrop has not only launched a web version but also introduced the Shib Owes You (SOU) airdrop campaign. There is an important background behind this activity: after Shibarium was hacked last September, the Shiba Inu team launched the SOU NFT as part of the recovery plan. Now, through Gate Web3’s activity, affected users and ecosystem participants have the opportunity to earn SOU token rewards.

BountyDrop Platform Upgrade, Dual-Device Experience Takes Shape

BountyDrop under Gate Web3 is now officially live on the web. In addition to the original app version, users can now intuitively browse the profiles and interaction processes of popular airdrop projects via PC, achieving synchronized experiences on both mobile and desktop.

Web version’s core advantages

• Large-screen interactive experience, project details at a glance
• More precise interactions, supporting seamless connection via Gate Wallet plugin
• Real-time task progress and rewards center
• One-click access to interaction page without KYC

This upgrade is very practical for airdrop participants. Some users are accustomed to completing complex operations on desktop, and no longer need to switch to mobile, significantly improving efficiency.

Shib Owes You Airdrop Campaign Details

Core Mechanism

Gate Web3 has launched the Shib Owes You airdrop activity on BountyDrop, where users can enter the BountyDrop module via the “Activities” page to participate in tasks. According to official announcements, 2,000 participants will be randomly selected from all who complete the tasks to share 10,000,000 SOU.

Participation Conditions

Activity Duration

From January 13, 2026, to February 12, 2026, lasting one month. The entry threshold is relatively low; basically, holding some assets and doing social follows gives a chance to participate.

The Story Behind Shib Owes You

This activity didn’t appear out of nowhere. According to relevant information, last September, Shibarium experienced a serious hacker attack. Attackers used complex flash loan attacks combined with compromised validator keys to drain about 2.4 to 4.1 million USD worth of assets from the bridge contract, including approximately 224.57 ETH, 926 billion SHIB, and other tokens.

Two-layer Recovery Plan

To compensate victims, the Shiba Inu team developer Kaal Dhairya launched the “Shib Owes You” (SOU) NFT and recovery plan:

• First layer: Official SOU NFT on Ethereum, used to track debts caused by the attack, with each user’s specific owed amount recorded on-chain and verifiable
• Second layer: Community-driven layer on BSC, involving projects like Woofswap, supporting recovery through transaction volume and fees

This Gate Web3 BountyDrop activity is essentially implementing this recovery plan. By distributing SOU tokens to participants, it not only offers users a chance to profit but also helps establish liquidity and market recognition for SOU.

Basic Project Overview

SHIB is currently ranked 25th in the cryptocurrency market cap list, with a current price of about $0.000009. It has increased by 4.24% in the past 24 hours and 8.70% over the last 30 days. Market cap is approximately $524 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $159.25 million.

From the Shiba Inu team’s recent activities, they are actively promoting ecosystem development. According to the latest news, team member Lucie emphasized the early 2026 growth momentum of the Shiba Inu community and praised proactive builders within the community. This attitude is reflected in the Shibarium recovery plan, the launch of SOU, and collaborations with platforms like Gate Web3.

Summary

The launch of Gate Web3 BountyDrop’s web version makes airdrop participation more convenient and efficient. Meanwhile, the launch of the Shib Owes You airdrop activity marks the Shiba Inu team moving from paper plans to actual implementation of the Shibarium recovery plan. For SHIB ecosystem participants, this is a good opportunity to get involved, learn about BountyDrop’s features, and earn SOU tokens through participation. From a broader perspective, it reflects the ecosystem’s active response to last year’s hacking incident, rebuilding community confidence through transparent recovery frameworks and ongoing development.
