## Summary

CryptoGorilla breaks down the MegaETH presale on Echo, covering key dates, investment terms, potential returns, and allocation criteria. He also shares airdrop alerts and NFT opportunities, along with his trader perspective on recent NFT launches.

### Key Points

- **MegaETH Raise Announced** [00:15] — The MegaETH raise takes place Monday, October 27th on Echo, a platform just acquired by Coinbase for $375M, making a day-one Coinbase listing likely.
- **KYC and Registration Required** [01:10] — Participants must KYC and dox their wallet; registration ends October 27th, the same day as the raise, so don't wait until the last second.
- **Key Dates Revealed** [01:51] — White paper timeline: registration closes Oct 27, bidding Oct 27-30, allocation decisions up to 5 days, refunds begin Nov 5, opt-out until Nov 19, mainnet in December, and TGE in January 2026.
- **Bidding is Not First-Come** [02:43] — All bids are considered equally based on metrics; it doesn't matter if you're first or last. Overallocation means some will be reduced or rejected.
- **Raise Terms and Minimums** [04:51] — Minimum investment is $2,650 and maximum is $186,282 per person. The raise is expected to occur at around a $1B FDV based on hype.
- **Past Raise Rounds** [05:35] — Seed round in June 2024 raised $20M led by Dragonfly Capital, with Vitalik and Joseph Lubin involved. Second Echo round was at $220M FDV with $3,700 tickets.
- **Pre-Market Valuation and Returns** [06:29] — Hyperliquid pre-market shows a $4.8B FDV. At $1B entry, that's a 4.8x return: $2,650 becomes ~$12,620, and max allocation becomes ~$887,000. Fluffles bought at $550M FDV are now worth $23,000.
- **Unlock Terms** [08:07] — 100% of tokens unlock at TGE, which is rare and attractive. US investors face a mandatory 1-year cliff but get a 10% discount.
- **Bonus Campaign to Double Allocation** [08:59] — Fluffle supply was cut from 10K to 5K. A bonus campaign after mainnet lets top 5,000 leaderboard participants double up to 100% token bonus.
- **Allocation Selection Criteria** [10:09] — Total wallet history (testnet + Ethereum activity), NFT holdings (Fluffles, CryptoPunks, Pudgy Penguins, etc.), and early support via Kaido leaderboard determine allocations in case of oversubscription.
- **BNB and Axiom News** [11:44] — Trump pardoning CZ is good for BNB. Axiom now supports BNB trading, and a tutorial is coming next week.
- **Airdrop Alerts** [12:24] — Apriori gives allocations to Madlads/Moonbirds holders. Monad claims must be done before Nov 23. Meteora token is live at a $580M FDV and available on OpenC.
- **NFT Opportunities** [15:01] — Moonbirds holders can claim a soulbound token (1:1) by linking Solana and ETH wallets. NCO airdropped free rabbits (9.9 SOL) and moths (4.5 SOL). Cambria Islands minted at 0.1 ETH and 2x'ed.
- **Token Works Pump-and-Dump** [18:06] — Good Luck Have Funers launched with a day-one pump then dump. Treasury sweeps provide buy pressure, but the NFT narrative is considered dead outside of trading pumps.

### Conclusion

The MegaETH presale offers strong upside but involves locking funds until January 2026. If you want in, register before October 27th, understand the allocation criteria, and be mindful of the US-specific cliff and market sentiment risks.

## Transcript

you could enter with pre-market currently trading at a 5x return free token airdrops you can claim today and what's going on in the world of NFTts. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another CryptoGorilla video. As usual, I
am not a financial adviser. Let's get this video to 100 likes. If you can hit that like button, it's free to do. And let's jump right into today's video. Starting off with the Mega ETH raise which is taking place on Monday, October
27th. Now, if you have no idea what Mega ETH is, not to worry. Hit the subscribe button because I will be dropping a explainer video on Mega ETH as a side. However, I wanted to keep these two videos separate because this is more
about the raise, which is like a one-time event. And let's face it, a lot just wondering, how do I make money off of this thing? So, if you're interested in the educational side, hit the subscribe button and it will be my next
video. Now, as for the raise, it is going to be taking place on Ekko, who going to be taking place on Ekko, who just got bought out by Coinbase for $375 million. And that's really cool because in my opinion, Mega E being the first
raise, it seems very likely that they're going to get a day one listing on Coinbase. If you want to enter the raise on Echko, yes, you are going to have to KYC and dox your wallet. It is what it is. There is no way around this. So,
that registration period is ending on October 27th, the same day as the raise. So, I would not put this off to the last second if you are interested because, you won't be able to enter it. So, personally, I have docked my wallet.
It's already docked anyways and I did register because I do plan on sending. Now, since my last video, a ton of information has been released as well as revealed in a white paper that somebody found on their website. So, let's go
through all of that because there's a lot of details to go through here. Now, the first thing I want to focus on are the key dates because everybody's become bullish. Like, the amount of people KYCing their little cousin for their
wallet is very high. Like, everybody's super bullish. They want to max send, which I don't think is a bad strategy, especially when you look at XPL. If you did the investment for XPL, everybody just got air dropped thousands of
dollars on top. Even if you invested 20 bucks, you got air dropped like at the highs. I think it was $9,000. So, it's not bad to enter this if you're actually bullish on it. But, I think too many people feel the token is dropping in the
next week or two when it's actually going to be months before we actually get the tokens from our investment. So, let's go through the key dates first. or the white paper. I'm going to show you everything, but the first date of
course is the registration. Closes on October 27th, then it's the raise. So, when you give them your money, this is happening on October 27th until the 30th. So, 3 days. And no, you do not need to pump gas and be first one in in
order to increase your allocation. We're going to go through how you can get a here, one of the co-founders says, "Everybody has three days to bid. It doesn't matter if you're first or last. If you bid, you're going to be
considered based on the metrics that they're looking at. After that, they are going to take up to five days to decide who is going to be accepted if it's overallocated because not everybody's going to be able to get anything. Some
there's also going to be different amounts. So, they're going to either increase or reduce those. After that, the refunds are going to begin as of November 5th, but I think it takes up to 48 hours. And this is going to be a
aird dropped to your wallet. If you invested money, you're going to have to go and get your money. So, don't forget which wallet you used. If you were accepted, you will have until November 19th to say, "Hey, I no longer want to
invest in this. Give me a refund." In which case, the refunds, I believe, are going to begin on November 21st. Then, according to the white paper, mainet is supposed to be dropping in December of this year. And we aren't getting TGE
until January 26th. And there's multiple places where I grabbed this date. The first place is here where they mention TGE. They say it takes a minimum of 40 days post sale. I'm assuming this includes all the refunds. So, as of
manually claiming if they don't want to invest anymore, 40 days after that is going to be January 1st. However, there is no concrete date in this document. So is no concrete date in this document. So here they say TGE in January 2026. So
approximately 3 months where you aren't going to have access to your funds or your tokens. They're going to be locked into this sale. So something you need to very seriously consider, especially if you're considering going heavy. As for
the terms of this raise, if you are accepted, the minimum amount that you have to put in is $2,650, which is the same amount that we spent on Fluffles, but at a different FDV. And the maximum amount per person is
$186,282. I do not expect many people to get this. In fact, I think a majority of people are probably not going to get anything going to enter this. But anyways, this raise is going to start at 1 mil FTV. I
don't think that's it's not happening, right? It's probably going to one bill FDV, which is the higher end of this just based on the hype on the timeline. So, if we look at the first raise here in June of 2024, they did a private
raise, a seed round for $20 million led by Dragonfly Capital, which attracted the likes of Vitalik, who he's actually the idea behind Mega Ethan, and like a paper that he wrote. And then Joseph Luben, the co-founder and current CEO of
Consensus, the team behind MetaMask and Lineia. Then they did a second raise on Echko, the same platform for uh 220 million FDV. The tickets were $3,700.
you did that round, you can check how much it's worth. We'll check that in a second. After that, we had the Fluffle Rays, which is a soulbound NFT. However, fun fact, it seems like they have it on their road map that eventually these
will not be soulbound and you'll just be able to trade them. Not that I would ever ever sell my Fluffle. Um, but again, if you did the fluff round, we have this calculator at the current FTV. And then finally, we have the round
put 2,650, the minimum round. And I'm getting the current FTV from Hyperlid because the pre-market per so you could long and short and get liquidated, right? Get wrecked, are currently live on Hyperlid.
wrecked, are currently live on Hyperlid. It is at a 4.8 billion FDV. So for the echo round, which if it goes to the top end, which I'm just assuming it is, that's going to be a 4.8 8x return on your money. So if you put $2,650 the
your money. So if you put $2,650 the base amount, that's $12,620. impossible, that would be, you know, 186,000 becomes $887,000.
Amazing returns. If you did the fluff like I did, let's just close this. your like I did, let's just close this. your 2,650 bucks because it's almost half the 2,650 bucks because it's almost half the FTV at 550 mil is worth $23,000. That is
amazing. I am very happy at the moment at least with my Fluffles investment. Now, the downside here is again the TGE isn't happening until minimum January. So, one, we don't know what the sentiment of the market is going to be
like in January. Maybe it's World War III, you know, and markets went to zero or Satoshi came back or something. And then the other thing is we don't know what these sentiments are going to be around me. Right now, everybody is mega
bullish, myself included. But, you know, 3 months is a very long time in crypto. So, keep that in mind if you are investing or considering investing into below. Really cool. You can check different FTVs built by Ultra. Uh, great
Now, the next thing I want to talk about are the uh lock up periods because for Fluffles, I remember it was a s 50% unlock on day one and then 6 months of
vesting where you could increase that vest or decrease the vesting time, I guess, based on your onchain activity. However, in the white paper, if we look However, in the white paper, if we look up uh the unlocks here, they say 100% is
going to be unlocked at TGE, which I find this amazing. This is exactly what I want. Unfortunately, if you're from the United States of America, you have a mandatory 1-year cliff. So, you don't get your money for 1 year. The bonus
here is you get a 10% discount. Personally, that's not enough for me to opt in. However, the other thing I'm thinking here is there's going to be this bonus campaign because there was supposed to be a second Fluffle sale
be 10K. Right now, it's only 5K. They raised 5,000 ETH uh 8 months ago and there was 5K left. Now they're no longer doing that sale, but they are going to be doing a bonus campaign where you can actually double up on your investment.
So right here in the white paper, they say that you are able to double up a 2x on your original allocation up to 100% uh token bonus if you invested. So, it
seems like if you invested in any of the three rounds and only 5,000 people are going to be able to achieve this because they are going to have a leaderboard and on your network activity. So, maybe a little bit of test net, but they're
going to launch a campaign in December for 30 days once mainet goes live. And, you know, this is a good way to encourage people to bridge over to me to provide liquidity to use different apps and so on. In which case, you can get
free money, right? you can double up your investment. So, I really like this. really happy that the fluff supply was just cut in half because if there's any air drops for other stuff, you know, now they can give us a bigger allocation.
Now, the last thing I want to talk about before moving on is who is going to get chosen if the sale is overallocated. And there's a few different things they're going to be looking at. One big thing
wallet history both on the test net of Megath but also your Ethereum activity right what apps did you use how early were you to them and so on you know how did you play with DeFi and all that
they're also going to look at your NFT holdings so what mega ETH NFTs do you have bad buns megallios megaachi I guess on test net and then the fluff if you minted those that's probably going to be the main one but also things on ETH like
cryptounks Fidenzas, hypers, pudgy penguins, and so on. Yes, the snapshot for all of these was already taken, so no point in going to buy one just to other thing that they're going to look at is how much of a supporter were you
of Mega ETH before this week, right? Cuz everybody's bullish now, but over the past one year, how supportive were you? And for this, they're using the Kaido leaderboard, which your boy is number 14th in the last 3 months, a little
lower for like 12 months. I think I'm up to 35th, but still top 50. Come on. And I have a fluffle. Uh I really hope this helps me and I get a bigger allocation. Like I said, I do plan to send here. Please do not just send because I'm
know, this is something you really need to consider for yourself. But I've been bullish on this for a long time. So, I'm looking to increase my exposure on top of the fluffle investment that I did. But moving on to other token stuff, we
But moving on to other token stuff, we have uh Trump pardoning CZ, which here he says, you know, it's oh, the the previous administration just went after him. He wasn't guilty. You know, some sus stuff happened recently, but it's
good for BNB. The BNB Meta and memecoins have been popping off. And what perfect timing because Axiom just went live with BNB trading on their platform. So, I will have a referral link with my code for trading BNB on Axiom in the
description down below. Helps me out a lot when you guys use my links. No worries if not. I will have a tutorial next week on how to trade BNB coins using Axiom. But enough of me shilling my referral codes. Let's take a look at
some airdrops. The first of which is a pryori. Personally, I had never heard of this. Um, there is an airdrop. The reason I saw this is because they are giving an allocation to Madlads and Moonbirds holders. I'm taking this with
a grain of salt. If you go through the comments, everybody's dunking on them, right? Everybody just seems really upset here showing that they have zero. So, I don't know how well this is going to play out, but I'm waiting because they
do say if you claim early, you get a small portion. You know, maybe that's a zero everybody's seeing, but if you claim uh later after Monad mainet, you get a larger portion. So, we all know that Monad is launching in a couple in
that Monad is launching in a couple in like 5 days now. So, uh make sure you go check on Monad because you have to claim before November 23rd. You are not claiming an airdrop technically because it's not live yet, but you are claiming
it to you. It's really weird, but you're claiming it in advance. They're going to which I'll show you how you can check what this means in just a second. But in down and click the button that's here, and it's going to give you a spot. If
they tell people you don't get your airdrop because you didn't click this button, that would be a rug. Okay? That would be not cool. So, make sure you hit the time you watch this video. But the link I wanted to show you guys is
there's these levels here uh based on you know within your tier within this tier there are many tiers that they have and there's a way to check this. So what you do is you open the monad page you connect your wallet and all that and
going to link in the description down below and it should automatically load this info for you and you are looking for your strength of your wallet. So, this strength level is going to determine the size of or how many people
giving numbers of, you know, what your airdrop's going to be. I'm taking these currently trading. It's doing well. 7 12 know, I'm just going to wait and see what happens. Hopefully, it does well
because I do have an allocation. If not, send it to zero. No, I'm just kidding. zero because I do not have an allocation, just joking, is the Meteora token. This just went live yesterday. Currently trading at a 580 mil FDV. So I
will link this down below if you want to check if you have uh an allocation for it. It's also trading on OpenC. So if you're farming OpenC with tokens, which I don't think you should do. You should do legit swaps, not just farm because
you're just paying fees. But if you want to do it, it is available on OpenC. Now moving on to NFTts. There is another Soulbound token available for Moonbird holders. you are going to have to link a Salana wallet where you claim it as well
as your ETH wallet and you're able to claim one to one. So if you have a Moonbirds, if you have um mythics or if you have oddities or if you have multiple, you are able to claim multiple. This goes on for one month.
I'm trying to claim as many as possible. I saw already six. Unfortunately, I only I've held Moonbirds for a while. I just missed these. But I'm wondering if they do do something like Pudgy Penguins did
where their soulbound coins, you know, gave you thousands of dollars of free token airdrops. The other thing they might do is maybe this is just a booster or it's just a way to prove how long you held other than taking a snapshot. So
links to all that in the description down below. After that, in actual NFTts, the NCO project that I put in my whitelist video the other day, I will link that above if you want to go watch that. They did the air drops for their
first two phases. So they have the rabbits, they have the moths, and soon out. However, they air dropped these for absolutely free. They were higher when trading for a lot more. Currently the moths are trading for 4.5 soul and the
moths are trading for 4.5 soul and the rabbits are trading for 9.9. So 10 soul absolutely free. $1,000, you know, $900 or whatever salon is at for absolutely free. And then the next airdrop phase, like I said, is going to be the snakes
going to trade at like one or two soul, right? It always trades less than the previous one, especially since the supply is going to be higher at 835. And in order to get this, you have to engage with their content. You have to
character. So, go watch my previous video. I explained it all. Uh, and good video. I explained it all. Uh, and good luck getting a DM to get a free airdrop. airdrop to your wallet for free, even thousands if you manage to get the first
two rounds. As for a paid mint this week, we had the Cambria Islands go live, which this was a 0.1 ETH mint on the expensive side, but I had no doubt that it was going to sell out. It did. It managed to pull a 2x, so 2 at the
top. There's a 5% fee, so that's pretty hefty, but still a 2x at the top. But this one did mint out really fast. I thought it was a guaranteed round. Unfortunately, it wasn't. They did tweet out that if you had the priority phase,
not a guaranteed phase, priority phase, and you weren't able to mint, they are going to be setting up a claim where you could mint it for 0.1. This worries me going to be? Are they using their treasury or are they just upping the
supply? Hopefully treasury and not upping the supply because people are longer profitable, right? They're going to mint it, dump it, and then it's no longer profitable and they're increasing the supply. Like, it just sucks for
people who didn't get to mint who are already mad or you're pissing off the people who minted and now the floor just nukes, right? So, it's a tough, you situation, but it is what it is. But our final story of the day is around Token
Works. Their latest NFT strategy coin launched today. It was completely times. They are making it more like stealth launches. It was the good luck have funners which is the prequel collection to the gigverse on abstract.
Now it's doing really well as all of them do on the first day. We did see a sweep here but that's normal. That's the treasury wallet. They have money from rares or their honoraries for you know 10 plus. Then they use that money to
sweep the floor and burn them. So they came in and swept like they normally do. But then a huge candle once they announced it dumps like it always does. If we look at, you know, Chimpers, it did the same thing. Pump, dump, and then
slowly recovered. Same thing on Good Vibes Club. And now it is back up. Now, I've been I tweeted last week, got a lot of uh haters for it, but too bad. Coming from a NFT trader perspective, this narrative is kind of dead. As you can
see, like on the day of, if you catch the pump, amazing. Then it dumps. This is this has been a good area to buy on that initial dump and then it slowly grinds up because there's money in the treasury for them to go and buy the
NFTs, right? There's buy pressure in my opinion not enough to actually make a longlasting impact, but it's never going to be perfect, right? Anyways, so this did well. Happy for good luck, have funers. They did seem to add some stuff
here to make it exciting towards the token work stuff, you know, just like good vibes club. They made it their official coin. They have the badges for not like the official ecosystem coin, but they have a lot of stuff that
they're doing with the coin. So, I love to see it, but to me, this narrative is just dead outside of a pump and dump as a trader. Again, nothing against these collections. I love these collections. Okay, I'm tight with the Gigverse team.
You know, I have no fe like Good Vibes Club I don't have any affinity to, but it's cool. Like, they they are the collection that did the best this cycle. And then the Chimpers team, like I'm a Chimpers OG. I minted. I still hold my
mint. You know, I gave them a lot of exposure. And uh so a lot of people were I'm talking as a trader. Like you could be both a collector and a lover of NFTts and a trader. Like people need to get over it. It makes no sense to me that
they'll nuke a memecoin, but because it has a monkey picture on it, like they narrative I just find boring now. I haven't really been following it for the Token Works stuff. So, if you catch it, like I still have notifications on. I
just missed it. If you catch it and you get a nice pump and dump, great. You know, you made some profit. If not, I don't know. It's gotten boring. Personally, I think these coins, like most of them, unless the teams, like the
something cool with the coins. Most of these are just going to be forgotten. Like, I would rather see the money go into the NFT collection than here. My personal preference. But with that being said, that is the end of today's video.
I hope you enjoyed it. Like I said, my next video will be explaining Mega E, the blockchain, the ecosystem, what apps I'm excited about. If that's the kind of thing you're into, would you kindly hit that subscribe button, smash that bell
notification. Thank you for watching another Cryptogorilla video. another Cryptogorilla video. Peace.
