Cross-chain protocol Wormhole (W) provided information about its forthcoming airdrop. The qualification list for the airdrop has been revised, and the recipient group has been broadened to encompass multiple categories.
The number of eligible wallets surpassed 400,000, and the total airdrop supply amounted to 678,823,000, constituting 6.78% of the overall supply. On-chain users represent approximately 81% of the airdrop supply, equivalent to around 549 million W tokens, while community groups make up approximately 19% of the airdrop supply, totalling around 129 million W tokens. The snapshot was taken at 23:59 UTC on February 6.
Additionally, Wormhole reported that its contributors collaborated with external experts from Allium to implement Sybil detection technology. This measure is taken to ensure that legitimate Wormhole users are appropriately rewarded.
Since its launch, Wormhole has prioritized the distribution of rewards towards early adopters and ecosystem applications. Eligibility for rewards depended on users meeting a minimum cumulative value transferred requirement, calculated across all linked wallets. The raw value was adjusted based on scoring weights associated with factors such as timing, assets, chains, and other characteristics.
