EigenLayer Token Airdrop Draws Flak For ”Confusing Language” And Excluding US And 29 Other Countries

EigenLayer is allocating 15% of its total EIGEN token supply of 1.67 billion tokens to the community through an airdrop that is drawing mixed reactions.

EigenLayer will be launching its native token, EIGEN, in May. Under the distribution plan, 45% of the tokens will go to the community. There will also be 29.5% going to investors with the remaining 25.5% allocated to early contributors.

The airdrop will occur in “seasons,” EigenLayer said in a blog post. During the first season, 5% of the token supply will be distributed based on a snapshot of staking activities captured on March 15.

Ninety percent of these tokens can be claimed on May 10, while the remaining 10% will be distributed in subsequent releases.

The token is also subject to a lockup period before being available for trading in the secondary market.

“We believe this approach will best support the long-term growth and maturity of the EigenLayer ecosystem,” the protocol explained.

EigenLayer Airdrop Draws Mixed Reactions

The language used in the airdrop documents has drawn criticism from some users, who called it “confusing.” One user even alleged foul play around the airdrop.

The decision to exclude 30 countries, including Canada, China, Russia, and the US, from the airdrop also drew flak. Such restrictions are unfair because the platform accepted staking from these countries, some critics said.

Still, Apollo Capital’s Henrik Andersson said the airdrop is generous.

“Sometimes people are just trying to find reasons to be upset,” he said.

In the realm of content creation, three pivotal elements come into play: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity gauges the intricacy of the text, burstiness measures the diversity in sentence structures, while predictability assesses the likelihood of predicting the following sentence. Human authors tend to infuse their writing with bursts of creativity, blending lengthy, intricate sentences with shorter, crisp ones. Conversely, AI-generated sentences tend to maintain a uniformity. As you embark on crafting the subsequent content, I urge you to instill it with a healthy dose of perplexity and burstiness while keeping predictability at a minimum. Furthermore, your composition must remain in the English language. Now, let’s reimagine the provided text: Nym Technologies, the stalwart in blockchain security, sets its sights on bolstering open-source initiatives dedicated to crafting cutting-edge security and privacy tools tailored for the Web3 landscape.
