Drift has partnered with
AlliumLabs, a leading blockchain data platform, to identify and penalize accounts involved in sybil and wash trading activities.
The
allocation of these accounts has been redistributed.
Eligible wallets will receive a bonus for waiting to claim.
This innovative claim design aims to:
- Reduce the advantage of bots racing to claim.
- Minimize network congestion and spam from bots.
- Distribute claims more evenly.
The bonus will unlock gradually over a 6-hour period from the launch. This means that the longer you wait to claim, the higher your total claim amount will be.
If you claim early, any locked bonus amounts will be returned to the DAO.
We are dedicated to creating exceptional decentralized experiences and fostering a thriving DeFi ecosystem. The Launch Airdrop is a significant step towards realizing this vision.
The exact date for claims will be announced soon.
