But we believe we have made reasonable trade-offs. We are rewarding hundreds of thousands, creating life-changing opportunities for many of them.

To address this, we have developed an initial FAQ."We are preparing a more systematic way to collect and prioritize feedback from the community, and we will do our best to answer the remaining questions in a fully transparent manner. Dozens of ecosystem projects have committed to allocating their tokens to the community, and nearly 50% of the total token supply is still reserved for the community.Airdrop claims will begin on June 17.
