Decentralized crowdlending platform rewards early adopters with Bitcoin-inspired tokenomics.
8lends, a decentralized crowdlending platform connecting traditional investors with Web3 opportunities, announces the start of its retrodrop campaign and the launch of its deflationary native token.
The token follows a scarcity-driven model inspired by Bitcoin, featuring a fixed maximum supply, controlled emission schedule, and automatic burn mechanics that permanently reduce circulating supply. This approach is designed to sustain long-term value for token holders and active platform users.
Key Highlights of the Launch
Deflationary Tokenomics:
- Fixed maximum supply ensuring long-term scarcity
- Automated token burns tied to platform performance
Retrodrop Campaign:
- Early supporters can already start collecting rewards via Zealy and Galxe
- Bonus allocations for engagement and referrals
- Tokens distributed in phases, aligned with the deflationary schedule
“Our deflationary token is designed to reward those who believed in 8lends from the start,” said Ivan Marchena, Chief Commercial Officer at 8lends. “By combining Bitcoin-inspired scarcity with a transparent reward model, we’re creating a long-term value ecosystem for our community.”
Retrodrop Timeline

Designed for accessibility and security, 8lends brings high-yield, asset-backed investing to the crypto economy.
