Everything you need to know about Zircon Gamma native token airdrop.

We’ve announced an upcoming airdrop in the previous post. Now it’s time to dive into details.

A total of 8% of the 1 billion ZRG token supply is dedicated to airdrops and split as follows:

🎯Whitelisted Users

The whitelisted users get 1.5%, spread along their Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers. The tiers were calculated by our Discord bot and required users to tweet about the project, be active in Discord and invite their friends.

Each tier gets the following amounts of tokens:

Platinum, > 250 Poinz: 125,000 ZRG
- The Platinum category includes only the most active users, including mods and ambassadors who kept supporting us through these months.
Gold, > 100 Poinz: 56,250 ZRG
Silver, >= 70 Poinz: 43750 ZRG
Bronze, >= 50 Poinz: 31250 ZRG

We decided to give a high base to all tiers since getting into the whitelist was not easy. While we initially promised some of our M2 NFTs, we have temporarily paused the project due to the state of the NFT market and the need to focus on our core product.

🗣Beta Feedback

We valued the feedback supplied in our beta test form. While there were no reports of system-breaking bugs, most submissions were useful. We graded them between 0 and 3, and assigned 25,000 ZRG for each point. Multiple submissions per person were accepted, and the bonus stacked with the whitelist.

Over 120 people provided some useful feedback to the project, so thank you!

🌧The DeFi User airdrop

We’ve decided to give a little something to active DeFi users across the space.

The total 4% share is split in 2 sides: one given to liquidity providers, and one to traders.

The conditions for the liquidity providers were:

At least one addition of liquidity to one of the protocols we included.
For at least $50.
Done between August 8 and September 8.

The protocols we included were:

Moonbeam and Moonriver:
- Moonwell Artemis, Moonwell Apollo, StellaSwap, BeamSwap, Solarbeam, Solarflare.
Ethereum:
- Sushi, Uniswap V2.
Arbitrum:
- Sushi.
BSC:
- PancakeSwap.
Polygon:
- QuickSwap.

Except for Moonbeam and Moonriver, we chose to include protocols that are the most similar to ours and the most likely to find value in our single-sided IL mitigation mechanisms. In total, there were 4600 wallets in this category.

For traders, the conditions were:

At least one swap with one of the protocols we included.
For at least $2,000.
Done between August 8 and September 8.

The protocols we included were:

Moonbeam and Moonriver:
- Moonwell Artemis, Moonwell Apollo, StellaSwap, BeamSwap, Solarbeam, Solarflare.
Ethereum:
- Sushi, Uniswap V2.
Arbitrum:
- Sushi.
BSC:
- PancakeSwap.
Polygon:
- QuickSwap.

There were about 26000 traders in the list,

The individual amounts given to each user are assigned semi randomly. For example, some of the lucky liquidity providers may get 18,000 ZRG each, while traders might get up to 4,300 ZRG.

The 1 month cut-off was decided on because of the bear market: it’s very likely that many of the older users left, so taking only users active right now ensures we don’t waste the drop.

👨‍🔧Beta test transactions

We rewarded users for transacting with our latest beta test, which was deployed in April. But for us, just using the beta without providing any feedback isn’t particularly valuable, so the amounts distributed are more limited.

About 1700 wallets received 1% of the supply, equal to about 6,000 ZRG.

We decided to avoid automatically giving tokens to our early beta testers in March and April, where there were obvious signs that the beta test was actively farmed.

It’s very easy to create fake wallets on testnet, and rewarding them without any filtering can be unfair to the honest users.

We have reserved about 0.5% of the supply for these beta testers, which includes those who used a form on our website to pre-sign up to the beta test.

However, to receive their share, participants who used the first beta tests in March and April need to send an email to hello@zircon.finance and include a transaction hash that interacted with our beta. To find them, head over to Moonscan and search for your wallet.

Only one submission is allowed per person. If we detect fake email addresses, we will also disqualify these extra entries from the drop.

💡Frequently Asked Questions

I should’ve gotten an airdrop but can’t find anything to claim on the beta.

Outside of March-April beta participants, if you were whitelisted or supplied feedback to the beta but didn’t get anything, send an email to hello@zircon.finance explaining why you think there might be a mistake, and attaching your wallet address.

Do I need to claim ZRG on the beta test?

No, the beta airdrop is a simulation that only exists to let you check everything is correct before mainnet. You can claim them or ignore them, it doesn’t change your mainnet distribution.

What to do if I didn’t get an airdrop?

You can still help us test Zircon Beta. Check out the app, test each feature, and let us know if you find anything sus: https://forms.gle/hPpJFu44CBXUNm2s9
