Taiko announced a partnership with liquidity platform Avalon Labs to provide Taiko users with exclusive airdrop opportunities through the new Taiko Takeoff program to promote the development of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem of the network. As Avalon prepares for a Token Generation Event (TGE), Taiko community members have the opportunity to participate and earn rewards, allowing users to make zero gas claims on the Taiko network. Ben Wan, Taiko's Chief Community Officer, said the collaboration will focus on developing the Taiko network's DeFi infrastructure.
