About ELMON

Current Price $0.0007 per token

All-Time High $3.32 per token

The Elemon (ELMON) token was distributed through the CoinMarketCap airdrop in September 2021. Today, the token is trading at around $0.0007, down over 99% from its peak value. Most trading volume has ceased, with both CoinMarketCap and Binance showing zero activity. This calculator helps you understand the current value of your tokens.

The Elemon x CoinMarketCap airdrop happened over four years ago - September 24 to 28, 2021. It was a short, five-day window where users could claim free ELMON tokens just by signing up on CoinMarketCap. Back then, blockchain gaming was exploding, and Elemon was trying to get in fast. They promised a simple, idle RPG experience where you could earn crypto without grinding hours a day. It sounded perfect for people who wanted to dip into play-to-earn without quitting their jobs.

Thousands signed up. CoinMarketCap’s reach gave Elemon instant visibility. The airdrop wasn’t huge in dollar terms - most people got between 1,000 and 5,000 ELMON tokens - but it worked. Over 37,900 wallets now hold ELMON. That’s not a flop. It’s a solid base. The problem? Almost no one is trading them.

Today, ELMON trades at around $0.0007. That’s down over 99% from its all-time high of $3.32. The 24-hour trading volume? Zero. On both CoinMarketCap and Binance, the numbers show nothing moving. No buyers. No sellers. Just a pile of tokens sitting in wallets, quietly losing value.

What Was the Elemon Airdrop Really For?

Elemon wasn’t trying to build a currency. It was building a game. The ELMON token was the fuel - used to buy monsters, upgrade them, enter battles, and claim rewards inside their idle RPG world. Think of it like a digital pet game where your creatures grow over time, and you earn tokens just by leaving them idle. No daily login grind. No complex strategy. Just set it and forget it.

The airdrop was a way to seed the game with users. If you got free tokens, you’d have to try the game. If you liked it, you might buy more tokens. If you brought friends, you might earn bonuses. It was a classic growth hack: give people something valuable, hope they stick around.

At the time, this model was everywhere. Axie Infinity was hot. Gods Unchained was rising. Elemon jumped in with a cleaner, simpler pitch: no daily tasks. No farming. Just passive income through gameplay. That’s why the airdrop worked. People were tired of being told to play 30 minutes a day just to survive. Elemon said: sit back. Earn.

Why Did ELMON Crash So Hard?

There’s no mystery here. It’s the same story you’ve seen a hundred times.

First, supply exploded. Elemon started with a 2 billion token supply. Only 644.9 million are circulating - but that’s still a massive amount. When the airdrop ended, thousands of wallets got flooded with tokens. Most didn’t know what to do with them. They didn’t trade. They didn’t stake. They just held.

Second, the game never caught fire. The graphics were okay, the concept was decent, but the platform never got marketing, updates, or community events. No new monsters. No tournaments. No partnerships. No roadmap updates. By mid-2022, the project went quiet. The website still loads, but the last major update was in 2022. The Discord server? Mostly bots and spam.

Third, the crypto market collapsed in 2022. GameFi projects were hit hardest. Investors fled. Exchanges delisted low-volume tokens. ELMON was never on a major exchange to begin with - only Binance’s Lite platform. When volume dropped to zero, even that got pulled. Now, you can’t buy ELMON on any top exchange. You’d have to find someone on a decentralized exchange willing to trade it - and good luck finding a buyer.

Today, ELMON is ranked #2571 on CoinMarketCap. That’s near the bottom. Most tokens in the top 1000 have real volume, active teams, and community support. ELMON has none of that.

Can You Still Claim ELMON Tokens?

No. The airdrop ended on September 28, 2021. The claim window is long closed. CoinMarketCap’s campaign page is gone. Elemon’s website doesn’t even mention the airdrop anymore. There’s no way to get new tokens through official channels.

If you participated back then, your tokens are still in your wallet - assuming you claimed them. You can check your balance on Etherscan or any wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens (ELMON is on Ethereum). Just paste your wallet address into Etherscan, search for ELMON, and see if you have any.

If you didn’t claim them during the five-day window? You missed out. No extensions. No refunds. No second chances. That’s how most airdrops work.

Is ELMON Worth Holding Today?

If you’re holding ELMON, you’re holding a gamble - not an investment.

There’s no team activity. No new features. No exchange listings. No news. The token’s value is based entirely on hope - hope that someone will revive the game, hope that someone will start trading again, hope that the price will bounce back from $0.0007 to even $0.01.

Realistically? The chances are slim. Most tokens that drop this far and stay dead for this long never recover. Look at other GameFi tokens from 2021: most are either dead or trading at 1% of their peak. ELMON isn’t unique here.

But here’s the twist: the game itself might still work. If you have ELMON tokens, you might still be able to log into the Elemon platform and see your monsters. The backend might still be running. The NFTs might still exist on-chain. The game could be a ghost - but it’s not completely gone.

If you’re emotionally attached to your monsters, or if you believe in the idle RPG model, holding ELMON might make sense. But if you’re hoping to cash out? Don’t count on it.

What Can You Learn From This Airdrop?

The Elemon x CoinMarketCap airdrop is a textbook case of how not to sustain a crypto project.

It got the launch right: big platform, clear rules, easy claim. But it failed at the next step: keeping users engaged. Airdrops are not magic. They’re just the first step. Without ongoing development, community building, and real utility, tokens die.

Here’s what to watch for in future airdrops:

  • Is there a working product? Or just a whitepaper?
  • Is the team public? Do they post updates?
  • Is there real trading volume after the airdrop?
  • Are tokens locked? Or are they all dumped immediately?

Most airdrops are marketing stunts. Only a few become real projects. Elemon was a stunt that never grew up.

Where Is Elemon Now?

The Elemon website is still up. You can still log in with your wallet. You can still see your monsters. The game might still run. But there’s no new content. No updates. No support.

It’s like a video game studio that made one game, got funding, launched it, then vanished. The servers are still on. The code still works. But no one’s home.

Some people still log in out of nostalgia. A few still trade tokens on obscure DEXs. But the momentum is gone. The community is silent. The project is in limbo.

Elemon didn’t fail because the idea was bad. It failed because no one cared enough to keep it alive.

    ELMON is a ghost town. I claimed my 3,000 tokens back in 2021. Still have them. No one’s buying. No one’s selling. The game still loads if you log in-but it’s like visiting an abandoned amusement park. The rides are there. The lights are off.

    It’s not about the token. It’s about the idea. Passive gaming was supposed to be the future. But no one built the future. They just dropped a token and walked away. That’s the real tragedy.

    The Elemon airdrop was a cultural artifact of the 2021 crypto euphoria-a moment when we all believed in digital pets and passive income as a lifestyle. Now, it’s a museum piece. A relic of a time when we thought blockchain could be fun, not just financial.

    Let’s be real-this was a rug pull disguised as a game. CoinMarketCap knew. They used their platform to pump a project with zero team transparency. Look at the dev wallet. 80% of tokens are still locked. That’s not a game. That’s a honeypot.

    The lesson here is not about tokens. It is about human nature. We are drawn to ease. We crave passive rewards. But sustainability requires effort. Without effort, even the most elegant ideas wither.

    Zero volume. Zero updates. Zero future. This is what happens when you trust a team with no LinkedIn profiles. 🤡

    Wait-so you’re telling me I could’ve been playing a game with my digital monsters for the past four years… and I just… didn’t? I logged in once. Saw the graphics. Thought it looked like a 2015 Flash game. Walked away. Now I feel like I missed out on something… beautiful? Sad? Both?

    So ELMON is the crypto equivalent of a high school crush who texted you once and then vanished? Cute at the time. Now you just feel weird every time you see their name pop up.

    I still log in every few months just to check on my monsters. They’re still there. Still idle. Still waiting. I don’t know why I keep doing it. Maybe I’m the only one who still cares. Or maybe… I just don’t want to admit it’s over.

    CoinMarketCap is a government puppet. This was a coordinated devaluation scheme. The airdrop wasn’t to promote a game-it was to flush out retail investors and dump on them. The 99% drop? Pre-planned. The silence? Tactical. Wake up.
