What’s Next for W-Coin: Mining Ends, Tokenomics Revealed Amid Community Anticipation

For months, the W-Coin community has been holding its breath, eagerly awaiting the Token Generation Event (TGE) that promises to bring their hard-earned efforts to fruition. But as delays stretch on, frustration is brewing among some members. Many feel caught in a cycle of anticipation, with additional fees and unclear timelines adding to their discontent. This article dives into W-Coin’s latest developments, from the end of mining to the unveiling of its tokenomics, and explores how the community is responding to these changes.

Mining Closes and Claim Phase Begins

On May 7, 2025, W-Coin officially announced the end of its mining phase, a milestone that marked the conclusion of the "W-Farm" era. The project froze user balances and began calculating the airdrop, with the claim phase opening immediately and running until May 14. Users were encouraged to claim their $WCOIN tokens during this window, though the process wasn’t without controversy. A fee of 1 TON (approximately $3 as of writing) or 179 in-game stars was required to claim—a detail that caught many off guard. 

For those who had already invested in features like W-Galaxy, which promised "100% unlock on TGE," the additional cost felt like a betrayal. One user, @ErindMeca, voiced a common sentiment on X: "When we paid for W-Galaxy, we were promised the airdrop with no extra cost. Now you’re asking us to pay again for the same thing."

Tokenomics Unveiled: A 100 Billion Token Supply

Just two days later, on May 9, W-Coin shared its tokenomics, offering a detailed breakdown of its structure and allocation. The total supply is set at 100 billion $WCOIN tokens, with a significant emphasis on community involvement. According to the announcement, 70% of the supply is dedicated to the community, split into 60% for the airdrop allocation and an additional 10% for a staking pool to reward active participants, often referred to as "W-Coin Mates." This community-driven approach highlights the project’s focus on its users. 

Beyond the community allocation, 9% is set aside for the ecosystem fund to support future development, another 9% goes to Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and communities to boost outreach, 8% is reserved for centralized exchange (CEX) liquidity and market making (MM), and 4% is allocated for marketing efforts. Notably, there’s no team allocation, ensuring the token distribution prioritizes participants and ecosystem growth. While this clarity was welcomed, the absence of a confirmed listing date left many in the community questioning how these tokens might perform once they hit the market.

$WCOIN is Minted and On-Chain

By May 12, W-Coin confirmed that $WCOIN had been minted and was now on-chain, a significant technical milestone. The project outlined the next steps: a whitelist phase, followed by the now-completed mining stop, balance freeze, and airdrop calculation. With the claim phase concluded, the focus has shifted to a potential token listing. The team stated that the delay aims to optimize conditions for the airdrop and ensure a smoother launch supported by partners and the community. However, the extended timeline has sparked mixed reactions, with some users trading $WCOIN vouchers on external pre-market platforms, despite concerns about liquidity risks.

Community Reactions: Frustration and Skepticism

The W-Coin community’s response has been a blend of cautious optimism and outright frustration. Some users have gone further to label the project a "scam", calling out platforms like Trust Wallet for their involvement. The additional claim fee has been a particular sore point. Some expressed disappointment, noting that Telegram airdrops often take more from users than they give back.

Despite the criticism, some community members remain hopeful. The project’s focus on community allocation and its transparent tokenomics have been praised as steps toward building a sustainable ecosystem. For those who paid for features like W-Galaxy, which offered perks such as 3x rewards and 2x claim bonuses, the promise of future value keeps them engaged—though they’re vocal about wanting clearer communication.

What To Do Next

As W-Coin continues to prepare for listing, the community should stay proactive. The team has assured that every user who made it into the whitelist would receive their tokens. Keep an eye on W-Coin’s official X account (@wcoin_io) for updates on the listing and any potential changes to the airdrop distribution. If you’re considering pre-market trading on external platforms, be mindful of the risks—low liquidity could lead to significant price volatility. 

Finally, review the tokenomics to understand how the 100 billion token supply might impact $WCOIN’s value at launch. With 70% of tokens in community hands, early adopters could play a key role in shaping the project’s future—but only if the team delivers on its promises.
