Shiba Inu’s Layer 2 blockchain, Shibarium, is poised for great excitement with news of a forthcoming airdrop. The news comes from a conversation between Lucie, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, and Buzz, the pseudonymous founder of K9 Finance, a project partnering with Shiba Inu and built on Shibarium.
According to Lucie, the airdrop will reward users for participating in the Shibarium ecosystem. This includes bridging assets to Shibarium, actively using the network for transactions, and holding specific tokens like $LEASH and K9 Finance’s $KNINE. The more involved you are, the bigger your share of the free token pool will be.
“I’m excited to share some insights about the forthcoming Airdrop on #Shibarium. Yes, it’s coming! You’ll be able to earn points simply by bridging to Shibarium, using Shibarium, and holding specific tokens like $LEASH and $Knine. Free tokens will be distributed to everyone involved, with the amount depending on your holdings and activities,” Lucie said in an X post.
While details are still under wraps, the basic structure is clear: engage with Shibarium, and you’ll be rewarded. This incentivizes early adoption and fuels the growth of the Shibarium network.
However, a note of caution has come from Buzz, founder and developer at K9 Finance.
“Careful #SHIBARMY the $KNINE retroactive airdrop is not yet live. Wait for official announcements from the @K9finance official account,” he said.
As per Buzz, the $KNINE token will have a separate, retroactive airdrop planned for Q4 2024. While the official qualification criteria will be revealed closer to the airdrop date, K9 Finance is currently gathering data on wallets that demonstrate engagement with the ecosystem. The focus will be on rewarding actions that actively contribute to the success of Shibarium.
