Arcade, the leading Ethereum-based DeFi protocol for NFT lending, is shaking up the airdrop scene with its innovative Clash of Claims event. In a departure from traditional airdrops, Arcade is introducing a PvP-style competition where holders of selected NFT collections have the chance to win 3% of the total supply of the native ARCD token.
Next week, 4,000 lucky wallet holders will be able to claim 750 ARCD each. The airdrop is exclusively available to holders of select NFTs such as Pudgy Penguins, Lil Pudgys, Sappy Seals, Mad Lads, Tensorians, Bitcoin Puppets, NodeMonkes, and RSIC.
To ensure fairness, a snapshot of eligible wallets will be taken on February 19. However, not all countries will be eligible to participate in the airdrop, including the United States. Raffle winners from the selected NFT collections will have a two-hour window on February 21, starting at 1pm EST, to claim their ARCD tokens.
Originally, the entire 3 million ARCD airdrop was meant to operate on a first-come, first-served basis. However, in response to community feedback and concerns about fairness, Arcade decided to introduce the Clash of Claims competition. This will allow any holders of the eligible NFTs and Ordinals to claim any unclaimed spots in the airdrop after the initial winners have claimed their tokens.
Arcade co-founder Robert Masiello expressed the company’s commitment to expanding beyond Ethereum, stating, “We’re fans of those communities, and in the future, we can envision Arcade having its own protocols on those networks.” This airdrop serves as a strategic move to strengthen Arcade’s presence on Solana and Bitcoin.
The ARCD token, currently locked to prevent transfer or sale on secondary markets, will play a vital role in ArcadeDAO’s governance. After the upcoming airdrop, the circulating supply of ARCD will increase to approximately 6.5 million out of the eventual total token supply of 100 million.
While the exact date for unlocking ARCD and permitting its sale is not yet determined, Masiello hinted at it being relatively soon. The upcoming airdrop sets the stage for this unlocking, signaling exciting developments on the horizon for Arcade and its growing community. Keep an eye out for further updates and developments from Arcade as they continue to revolutionize the world of airdrops and NFT lending.
