RACA x BSC MVBIII September Star Airdrop: Who Got Tokens and How It Worked

The RACA airdrop tied to the BNB Chain Most Valuable Builder III (MVBIII) September Stars program was one of the most structured token distributions in late 2023. Unlike random giveaways, this airdrop targeted specific NFT holders with clear rules, deadlines, and rewards-making it a textbook example of how blockchain projects reward early adopters. If you held a Metamon NFT or an MPB during the snapshot, you got paid. If you sold your NFT before the cutoff, you got nothing. No exceptions.

Who Was Eligible for the RACA Airdrop?

The airdrop wasn’t open to everyone. It was locked to two groups: Metamon NFT holders and Metamon Planet Badge (MPB) holders. These weren’t just any NFTs-they were part of Radio Caca’s gaming ecosystem, built on BNB Chain. The project used NFT ownership as proof of commitment, not just speculation.

Metamon NFTs came in three types: Old Metamon, New Metamon, and Rare Metamon. If you held any of these during the snapshot, you received one Potion NFT and 20,000 $RACA tokens. That’s 20,000 tokens per wallet, no matter which version of Metamon you owned. It didn’t matter if you had 1 or 10-each NFT qualified for one reward.

MPB holders got a much bigger payout. Each MPB holder received 200,000 $RACA tokens. That’s ten times the amount given to regular Metamon holders. The MPB was a rarer, higher-tier NFT tied to the Metamon Planet ecosystem. Only a few hundred existed, and holding one signaled deep involvement in the project.

When Did the Snapshot Happen?

Timing was everything. The snapshot-when the blockchain recorded who held what NFT-happened before the game launch, specifically on October 12 at 16:00 UTC. This was a hard cutoff. If you bought a Metamon NFT five minutes after that time, you got nothing. If you sold your NFT five minutes before, you got nothing. The system didn’t care about your intent or how long you held it. It only saw the wallet balance at that exact second.

Radio Caca made it clear: if your NFT was listed on OpenSea, Magic Eden, or any other marketplace at the time of the snapshot, you were disqualified. The project wanted real users, not traders flipping NFTs for quick gains. This rule blocked a lot of potential claims. People who thought they could buy an NFT the day before and sell it right after the airdrop were left empty-handed.

What Did You Actually Get?

The rewards weren’t just tokens. You got two things: $RACA and a Potion NFT.

The $RACA tokens were the main incentive. At the time of distribution, $RACA was trading around $0.0002. That meant 20,000 tokens were worth about $4, and 200,000 tokens were worth about $40. Not life-changing money, but it was free. And for NFT holders, it was validation that their asset had utility beyond just being a digital picture.

The Potion NFT was more interesting. It wasn’t just a collectible-it was a functional item in the Metamon game. Once the game launched, Potion NFTs could be used to upgrade Metamons, increase stats, or unlock special abilities. This turned the airdrop from a one-time payout into a long-term asset. If you held your Potion NFT and played the game, it could grow in value over time.

What About the Tesla Cybertruck Airdrop?

There was a separate, earlier perk for MPB holders. When MVBIII was first announced in September, Radio Caca ran a promotional event for the top 1,000 MPB holders (#0 to #999). Each of them received a virtual Tesla Cybertruck NFT. It wasn’t real, of course-it was a digital collectible. But it was a clever marketing move. It tied a high-status NFT to a globally recognized brand, creating buzz beyond the crypto space.

That Cybertruck NFT didn’t give you tokens. It didn’t unlock game features. But it added social proof. Owning one meant you were among the earliest supporters. Some holders later sold these NFTs for a profit on secondary markets, turning a promotional gift into cash.

Did the Airdrop Work?

Yes, but not in the way most people expected. The token price didn’t spike after the airdrop. $RACA stayed flat, then slowly declined. That’s because the market had already priced in the distribution. The real win wasn’t the token value-it was the community growth.

After the airdrop, Metamon game traffic jumped 300%. Players who got the Potion NFTs started logging in, experimenting with upgrades, and joining Discord channels. The airdrop didn’t just distribute tokens-it activated users. That’s what projects need: not a price pump, but active players.

Radio Caca also partnered with five other MVBIII Monthly Stars-Kine, Mars Ecosystem, O3 Swap, and Thetan Arena-for a six-day event in November 2023. These events included live streams, giveaways, and cross-project promotions. If you held any of the partner NFTs, you could earn bonus $RACA tokens just by participating. This turned the airdrop into a multi-week ecosystem event, not a one-off drop.

What Happened After the Airdrop?

The $RACA tokens were distributed on October 16, 2023. By November, most eligible wallets had received their tokens. The Potion NFTs were also delivered and linked to users’ wallets. Radio Caca published a public list of recipients, but only for verification purposes. No one was allowed to claim more than their allotted amount.

The Metamon game officially launched in December 2023. Players who had the Potion NFTs could use them right away. Those who didn’t get the airdrop had to buy potions in-game using $RACA tokens-making the airdrop recipients the first to access advanced features.

There were no refunds, no appeals, and no exceptions. If you missed the snapshot, you missed out. Radio Caca didn’t make any public statements about late claims. The rules were clear from the start.

Why This Airdrop Matters

This wasn’t just another crypto giveaway. It was a test of how well a project could align token distribution with real user behavior. Radio Caca didn’t hand out tokens to random Twitter followers. They gave them to people who already owned and used their NFTs. That’s smart. It rewarded loyalty, not luck.

It also showed how NFTs can be more than JPEGs. The Potion NFT had a function. The MPB had status. The Cybertruck NFT had cultural weight. Each item tied back to the ecosystem. That’s the future of Web3 rewards-not just free tokens, but meaningful assets that grow with the project.

Could This Happen Again?

Probably. Radio Caca has already run multiple airdrops-Round 3 of the CMC mystery box drop gave out 5,686 mystery boxes to collectors. The pattern is clear: hold an NFT, get a reward. The rewards change, but the logic stays the same.

Future airdrops will likely follow this model: snapshot before launch, rewards tied to utility, no market listings allowed. If you’re waiting for the next RACA airdrop, don’t just buy NFTs. Buy the ones that matter. Hold them. Don’t list them. And pay attention to announcements-because the next snapshot could come anytime.
