Shardeum(SHM) Airdrop: Phase 1 Update

SHM Airdrop: A Three-Phase Journey

Shardeum Foundation plans to execute the SHM airdrop in three phases. The SHM allocation for respective phases are as below.

• Phase 1: Early Contributors 3,661,600
• Phase 2: Incentivized Testnet 3,296,500
• Phase 3: Mainnet Campaign 18,441,900

Shardeum Eligibility Criteria Overview

SHM airdrop rewards are evaluated based on these two core factors across the board:

High performers in each category: This includes contributors who exhibit exceptional activity or contributions within specified categories. It rewards those who stand out due to their performance and engagement.
Randomly selected contributors who meet specific eligibility criteria: To ensure wider participation, rewards will also be distributed to individuals who are randomly chosen from a pool of users meeting predefined criteria. This approach broadens the opportunity for rewards, ensuring that all eligible participants have a chance to benefit.

Note: To ensure fairness and prevent potential misuse, the exact eligibility criteria for some of the contributors will be disclosed after the Phase 1 cut-off date. And as mentioned previously, our final announcement on Phase 1 airdrop will also have the finer details of the selected contributors. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to maintain the integrity of the process.

High performers in each category: This includes contributors who exhibit exceptional activity or contributions within specified categories. It rewards those who stand out due to their performance and engagement.
Randomly selected contributors who meet specific eligibility criteria: To ensure wider participation, rewards will also be distributed to individuals who are randomly chosen from a pool of users meeting predefined criteria.
