According to the announcement, the airdrop will be distributed to loyal Drift users, including long-standing traders (OGs) and Trader Points members.
There will soon be more details on eligibility criteria and a location to check and claim your allocation, as per the team.
The airdrop targets 180,000 of Drift’s most active users, recognizing their engagement and contributions to the platform. This move follows a three-month points program designed to boost participation by traders, borrowers, lenders, and airdrop farmers.
The Drift DAO Foundation will oversee the coordination of initiatives and decision-making among token holders and the DAO, ensuring a decentralized governance structure.
There will be a substantial distribution of DRIFT tokens over five years, with 53% allocated for community and ecosystem initiatives, 25% for protocol development, and 22% reserved for strategic participants.
The anticipation builds as Drift takes comprehensive measures, including multiple snapshots and extensive activity analysis over the past three years, to prepare for this significant airdrop.
Since its 2021 launch as one of Solana's first DeFi projects, Drift has facilitated over $20 billion in cumulative trading volume and boasts a total value locked exceeding $256 million.
Notable venture capital firms such as Polychain Capital and Multicoin Capital, alongside Solana founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal, have invested over $25 million in Drift.
