Ethena said USDe-linked token incentives have fallen by about 85% since the first airdrop in 2024, according to a post reported by Wu Blockchain. The protocol added that the remaining incentives and future inflation related to USDe will be reduced to zero by the end of this month.

Long taper after the first airdrop

The update gives a clearer view of how Ethena has scaled back reward spending after its initial launch phase. Token incentives are usually used to attract early participation and support product growth. In this case, the post ties the reduction directly to USDe and says the cumulative decrease since the first airdrop is about 85%.

End of incentives and inflation

The most concrete change is the timeline. By the end of the month, Ethena says USDe-related token incentives will stop, and future inflation connected to that incentive structure will also fall to zero. The team thanked community users who joined early and helped the product through its cold start and development.

What readers should watch

For readers, the post is mainly an incentive update rather than a price signal. The next detail to watch is how the end-of-month transition is carried out and whether Ethena provides further information about participation, rewards, or the role of USDe once the incentive taper is complete.
