- Other prominent projects under the top 15 receivers are SushiSwap, Balancer, Aave, and DODO, with 4.25 million ARB, 3.01 million ARB, 2.7 million ARB, and 2.2 million ARB, respectively.
- The team behind Arbitrum had previously clarified that the airdrop was not a retroactive grant. Instead, the main aim is to empower the sub-communities on the layer 2 networks to localize governance decisions.
- The platform also mentioned that the airdrops would be distributed only to projects with a DAO and a community treasury, with an exception for The Protocol Guild – an organization made up of Ethereum core protocol contributors.
- Factors such as – the DeFi project’s deployment date, whether it was multi-chain or native to its ecosystem, the transaction volume, the total value of assets locked, and native liquidity moved to the ecosystem – were weighed in for eligibility of fund allocation.
- The development follows the much-anticipated ARB airdrop to early adopters.
