Shardeum, a layer 1 blockchain network, is preparing for its mainnet launch with an airdrop campaign aimed at early contributors.
Airdrop Phases and Distribution Method
Shardeum's airdrop is structured in two phases. Phase 1 covers participants from Liberty Alphanet and Sphinx Betanet, eligible for 3.3 million SHM for engagements from February 2022 to June 2024. Phase 2 targets Atomium ITN contributors from June 2024 to March 2025, with a total of 2.1 million SHM allocated. Token distribution will be based on network interactions and involvement, including transactions, smart contract interactions, and maintaining network stability.
Fairness Measures
Shardeum has implemented a strict exclusion policy to prevent abuse and Sybil attacks. Wallets belonging to the Shardeum Foundation, partners, and sanctioned entities are disqualified. A multi-layered Sybil detection process uses advanced clustering algorithms and machine learning models to detect fraudulent activity.
Next Steps and Shardeum's Future Plans
Eligible individuals can register for the airdrop from March 14 to March 21, 2025, via the official registration page, where they can verify their eligibility. Upon successful registration, SHM tokens will be allocated and distributed at the Token Generation Event (TGE). Those registering later will receive tokens in June 2025. Shardeum plans to continue expanding with future campaigns to enhance ecosystem growth and engagement.
Shardeum's airdrop represents a significant step in the network's development, fostering community engagement ahead of the mainnet launch.
