- Holding Requirement: Users must have held these tokens at their all-time low prices, with a minimum holding threshold of $50 USD worth of tokens at the all-time low price.
- Example: If a token’s all-time low was $0.10, the user needed at least 500 tokens in their wallet at that time.
- Wallet Compatibility: Eligible wallets must be on Ethereum, Mina, StarkNet, and Polygon. Tokens must not have been staked or used in liquidity pools.
- Registration Deadline: Eligible addresses must have registered their wallets by December 23, 2024 via genesis.alignedfoundation.org.
- Anti-Sybil Measures: All-time low price snapshots (which occurred at different times for each token) were used to prevent manipulation. No scoring metrics favor airdrop farming—this strictly rewards long-term holders.
