Breaking News: Solana DEX Drift to Distribute 100 Million Tokens in Airdrop Event!

With a total token supply capped at 1 billion, Drift has earmarked 10% of this supply, equivalent to 100 million tokens, for distribution through a meticulously orchestrated airdrop, announced the team on Tuesday. This generous allocation will be dispersed among 180,000 fortunate Drift users, their activity on the platform serving as the basis for eligibility.

According to Cindy Leow, co-founder of Drift, the specifics of the token generation event and the subsequent airdrop claim window will be unveiled in due course, coinciding with the imminent launch slated for the upcoming weeks.

Harnessing data from ‘multiple’ snapshots taken over the past three years, Drift has meticulously analyzed user activity to ensure fairness and transparency in the distribution of tokens during the airdrop.

Drift’s Vision for Decentralization: Introducing a Multi-Branch DAO Framework

Embarking on a journey towards decentralization, post-token launch, Drift envisions a multi-branch DAO framework. This multifaceted DAO will comprise a Realms DAO dedicated to general protocol development, a Security Council entrusted with governance over protocol upgrades, and a Futarchy DAO focused on funding technical grants. Facilitating the orchestration of decisions and initiatives from token holders and the DAO, the Drift DAO Foundation will play a pivotal role in ensuring seamless coordination.

Pioneering the DeFi landscape on Solana since its inception in 2021, Drift boasts a stellar track record, facilitating a cumulative trading volume exceeding $20 billion and currently locking in over $250 million in total value.

DRIFT Token Distribution Strategy: Empowering the Community for Long-Term Growth

The distribution of all DRIFT tokens will unfold over a five-year period, with a significant majority (over 50%) earmarked for the community’s benefit. Token allocation delineates 53% for community and ecosystem development, 25% for protocol enhancement, and 22% for strategic stakeholders.

Highlighting Drift’s commitment to long-term sustainability and alignment of interests, Leow disclosed that both team members and venture capital investors will be subject to a vesting period ranging between 24 to 36 months.

In tandem with Drift’s groundbreaking initiatives, Solana DEX Zeta Markets recently announced its own token launch, accompanied by a riveting airdrop of 100 million Z tokens, underscoring the vibrancy and innovation inherent in the Solana ecosystem.
