💸Airdrop
How are we airdropping? To who? How do you get it?
TLDR;
We're airdropping allocation over 4 seasons, with Season 1 being the biggest, through a new concept the transparent airdrop (transpAirdrop) where you'll know exactly what your airdrop allocation is and exactly when you're getting it.
For Season 1 we're working with Rainmaker to offer our instant transparent airdrop for stakers in the Rainmaker APS pools.
Available Early September 2024.
Intro
Airdropping tokens is especially important for kickstarting Aperture because it helps us quickly build a diverse and engaged community that is essential for the platform's success. Given that Aperture relies on deep liquidity and active participation from a wide range of traders and liquidity providers, distributing tokens through an airdrop ensures that these key players are incentivized to join and contribute from the very beginning. By starting with an airdrop, we can decentralize ownership, align the interests of our users with the platform's growth, and create a strong foundation for Aperture to thrive as a robust and liquid marketplace for perpetuals trading.
70% to our Supporters
We are committed to ensuring a fair distribution of APEX tokens, with 70% of the total supply being allocated in a transparent and equitable manner. To kick off this process, we will distribute 30% of the token supply in the first season through a collaboration with Rainmaker, a platform known for its fair and community-driven token distribution.
Our approach is designed to reward those who actively engage with the APEX network, whether by providing liquidity, participating in governance, or contributing to the ecosystem. By doing so, we aim to distribute tokens broadly across our community, avoiding concentration in the hands of a few.
By spreading the distribution across multiple seasons, we ensure that new users can join and benefit from the platform as it grows. This method helps us maintain a decentralized and community-driven network, where a wide base of token holders is aligned with the long-term success of APEX.
30% to the Protocol
We are committed to a fair and balanced distribution of APEX tokens, with 70% of the total supply being allocated to the community. The first 30% of this allocation will be distributed during the initial season through our collaboration with Rainmaker, a platform known for its fair and transparent token distribution methods.
The remaining 30% of the token supply will be strategically allocated to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the APEX network. This portion will be balanced between several key areas:
Treasury: A portion of the tokens will be reserved for the APEX treasury to fund future development, ecosystem initiatives, and other strategic needs.
Angel Investors: A share will be allocated to our early supporters and angel investors who have believed in our vision and provided the initial backing necessary to bring APEX to life.
Future Investors: We will also set aside tokens for future investment rounds, ensuring we have the resources to continue scaling and expanding the platform.
Team Members: To align the interests of our team with the success of the network, a portion of the tokens will be allocated to our team members. This incentivizes continued dedication to the platform's growth and innovation.
Liquidity Providing: Finally, a portion of the tokens will be used to support liquidity provision across various platforms, ensuring that APEX remains a liquid and accessible market for all users.
By carefully balancing these allocations, we aim to build a strong, sustainable, and decentralized network that benefits all participants. This strategic distribution approach ensures that our community, early supporters, and team are all aligned with the long-term success of APEX.
