Amadeus launches Season 1 points campaign, Flop Labs opens role applications, and GTE starts early registration

Odaily has rounded up three interaction-driven crypto updates dated Aug. 20, covering Amadeus Protocol, Flop Labs, and GTE. Amadeus Protocol, a Layer 1 chain built for agentic finance and positioned as a settlement layer for AI agents, said its Season 1 points campaign went live on Aug. 13. Users can take part by connecting a wallet on the project website, adding the Amadeus Wallet extension, and completing tasks such as daily check-ins and linking social accounts. Flop Labs, the new project that BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said marked his return in an Aug. 18 post on X, is described as a native money network for the AI agent economy. Hayes called it 「food for your AI agent」 and said the project is designed to serve as the native currency and verifiable compute settlement layer for the agentic economy. According to the article, Flop Labs has no presale, no VC participation, and a 100% fair launch model, with a large-scale airdrop planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. Current participation centers on applying for project roles, with forms open for GPU providers, validators, and KOLs or creators. GTE, a decentralized trading platform built on MegaETH, has also opened early preregistration. The platform says users can sign up with an email address and connect social accounts including X.
