Telegram Airdrop Tokens Worth $4 Million to be Burned: Why?

Tomorrow, October 9, Dogs (DOGS) and Notcoin (NOT) will jointly burn $4 million worth of tokens that have remained unclaimed since both projects distributed tokens in Telegram airdrops.
This event has sparked speculation about the potential impact on their respective prices. As the community awaits this moment, BeInCrypto examines how the dynamics of demand and supply could affect NOT and DOGS.
Both Notcoin and Dogs have decided to burn their tokens after receiving the green light from the community. To encourage participation, the official channels of these Telegram-native projects announced that the event will be streamed live on X (formerly Twitter) at 1 p.m. UTC.
For context, projects engage in token burning by permanently removing tokens from circulation to enhance scarcity and potentially increase the long-term value of their cryptocurrencies. In total, DOGS will burn 4.8 billion tokens, while Notcoin will contribute the remainder, bringing the total burn to approximately $4 million
However, it is important to mention that Dogs and Notcoin did not launch around the same period. While Notcoin distributed over 80 billion tokens in Telegram airdrop in June, Dogs gave out about 400 billion tokens to eligible users.
Currently, DOGS changes hand at $0.00072, 55% down from its launch price. Notcoin’s price is down 46% from its all-time high. Despite this, the Weighted Sentiment around the projects has jumped, suggesting that the broader community is bullish about the event.

Meanwhile, a DOGS representative spoke to BeInCrypto regarding the recent decision surrounding their event. The representative clarified that the decision-making process was transparent, with every token holder given the opportunity to participate.
However, they noted that there was a collective decision not to burn all unclaimed airdrops, indicating that this choice was made with input from the community and based on a majority consensus.
“Instead of opting for a short-term gain by burning all (or at least a higher proportion of) unclaimed tokens — which would have likely boosted immediate value — our community voted to allocate a significant portion of these tokens to charitable causes,” the spokesperson told BeInCrypto.
DOGS and NOT Prices Target Breakout
A look at the 4-hour chart shows that DOGS’ price is attempting to rise above the descending triangle, characterized by a flatter horizontal trendline and a descending one. When the price falls below the horizontal trendline, the token in question could undergo another correction.
On the other hand, if the price breaks above the descending trendline, a rally occurs. As seen below, DOGS’s price is far above the horizontal part and could rise past the triangle. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), which measures momentum, also backs this prediction as it is above the zero signal line.

Should this remain the same after the token burn, DOGS could jump toward $0.00088 and likely hit $0.0010 afterward. The prediction might, however, be invalidated if the token drops back to the horizontal line at $0.00068.
Meanwhile, Notcoin’s market structure on the daily chart is similar to DOGS’ technical setup. From the chart below, NOT’s price is looking to break the $0.0085 resistance. If successful, Notcoin’s price could jump toward $0.11 and eventually $0.014. However, if the token fails to rise above the overhead resistance, a decline to $0.0072 could be possible.

In the meantime, the Dogs team noted that it would donate the remaining 6 billion unclaimed Telegram airdrop tokens to charitable causes related to children and animals.
“All the donations made have always been and will always be clearly presented to the community ensuring accountability. The most active community members will in the future be able to take part in real-life charity initiatives,” the project’s representative added.

Vitalik Buterin Proposes to Replace EVM with RISC-V

Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed overhauling the blockchain’s smart contract infrastructure by replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with RISC-V, a widely adopted open-source instruction set architecture.
This shift aims to address one of Ethereum’s key scaling bottlenecks by dramatically improving the efficiency and simplicity of smart contract execution.
Buterin Proposes Ditching EVM for RISC-V
The proposal was detailed in a post on the Ethereum Magicians forum. In it, Buterin suggested that smart contracts could eventually be compiled to RISC-V rather than EVM bytecode.
According to Buterin, this shift addresses long-term scalability challenges. This particularly includes keeping block production competitive and improving zero-knowledge (ZK) EVM-proof efficiency.
“It aims to greatly improve the efficiency of the Ethereum execution layer, resolving one of the primary scaling bottlenecks, and can also greatly improve the execution layer’s simplicity – in fact, it is perhaps the only way to do so,” he wrote.
Current ZK-EVM implementations spend around half of their proving cycles on EVM execution. By switching to a native RISC-V VM, Ethereum could potentially achieve up to 100x efficiency gains.
Importantly, many fundamental aspects of Ethereum’s architecture would remain unchanged, preserving continuity for developers and users. Core abstractions such as accounts, smart contract storage, ETH balances, and cross-contract calls would function exactly as they do today.
Developers would still write contracts in familiar languages like Solidity or Vyper. These would simply be compiled to RISC-V rather than EVM bytecode. Tooling and workflows would remain largely intact, ensuring a smooth transition.
Crucially, the proposal ensures backward compatibility. Existing EVM contracts will remain fully operational and interoperable with new RISC-V contracts.
Buterin outlines several potential implementation paths forward. The first would support both EVM and RISC-V smart contracts natively. The second suggests wrapping EVM contracts to run via an interpreter written in RISC-V. Thus, it would enable a full transition without breaking compatibility.
The third, more modular approach, builds on the second by formally enshrining interpreters as part of the Ethereum protocol. This would allow the EVM and the future virtual machines to be supported in a standardized way.
Buterin stated that the idea is “equally as ambitious as the beam chain effort.”
“The beam chain effort holds great promise for greatly simplifying the consensus layer of Ethereum. But for the execution layer to see similar gains, this kind of radical change may be the only viable path,” Buterin added.
For context, the Ethereum Beam Chain is a redesign of Ethereum’s consensus layer (Beacon Chain). It focuses on faster block times, faster finality, chain snarkification, and quantum resistance. The development will likely begin in 2026.
This proposal fits into Ethereum’s broader vision of modularity, simplicity, and long-term scalability. Previously, BeInCrypto reported on Buterin’s privacy-centric plans for the blockchain.
The proposal focused on integrating privacy-preserving technologies. Moreover, the Pectra upgrade is also nearing, with the launch expected on May 7.
Meanwhile, ETH continues to face market headwinds, trading at March 2023 lows. This year has been quite hard for the altcoin, as it saw a decline of 50.8%. In fact, Ethereum dominance hit a 5-year low last week.

Nonetheless, BeInCrypto data showed a slight recovery over the last 14 days. ETH rose by 6.1%. Over the past day alone, it saw modest gains of 1.7%. At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $1,639.

Solana Rallies Past Bitcoin—Momentum Tilts In Favor of SOL

Solana started a fresh increase from the $120 support zone. SOL price is now consolidating and might climb further above the $142 resistance zone.
- SOL price started a fresh increase above the $125 and $132 levels against the US Dollar.
- The price is now trading above $130 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
- There is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $137 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- The pair could start a fresh increase if it clears the $142 resistance zone.
Solana Price Gains Over 5%
Solana price formed a base above the $120 support and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL gained pace for a move above the $125 and $132 resistance levels.
The pair even spiked toward the $145 resistance zone. A high was formed at $143.06 and the price is now retreating lower. There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $135 swing low to the $143 high.
Solana is now trading above $130 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $137 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. The trend line is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $135 swing low to the $143 high.
On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $142 level. The next major resistance is near the $145 level. The main resistance could be $150. A successful close above the $150 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $155. Any more gains might send the price toward the $165 level.
Pullback in SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $142 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $138.50 zone. The first major support is near the $137 level and the trend line.
A break below the $137 level might send the price toward the $132 zone. If there is a close below the $132 support, the price could decline toward the $125 support in the near term.
