Sybil Resistance Measures

  • Their allocations were redistributed

Additional Information

  • Bonus Mechanism: Users receive a bonus for delaying claims, unlocking linearly over 6 hours from launch.
  • Early Claims: Partial bonuses can be claimed within the first 6 hours, but unclaimed bonus tokens will be forfeited to the DAO.
  • Top Drifters: Users with large allocations will have a 3-month cliff and 9-month vesting on remaining tokens after claiming a portion on Day 1.
  • Security Warning: The claim process is not live yet. Users should verify links and avoid phishing attempts.
