Nyan Heroes, the cat-themed hero shooter game built on Solana, announced its largest token airdrop to date on Thursday, with 6.7 million NYAN tokens (nearly $200,000) to be distributed during its upcoming Playtest 4 event.
The airdrop, running from March 26 to April 13, represents a 34% increase from the previous distribution, and allocates 250,000 tokens to the top-ranked player. The reward structure, designed by former EVE Online economy director Asimakis Reppas, features three tiers: Challenger, Leaderboard, and Genesis NFT.
Players can earn points by completing in-game missions and challenges, with additional opportunities through web missions like connecting accounts and inviting friends. Genesis NFT holders receive multipliers that boost points based on rarity.
Playtest 4 introduces several new gameplay elements, including a pilot named Coco who operates Guardian Gizmo, a mech built from scraps that can deploy turrets and create magnetic platforms.
The update also features Fishball, a competitive game mode where teams score by carrying or throwing a ball into opponents’ goals. There’s also a new Tokyo-themed map designed for vertical movement.
Developer 9 Lives Interactive has positioned this distribution as part of Nyan Heroes’ community rewards program, with the current allocation representing 2% of the total community rewards pool.
