The airdrop amount is determined based on the scores from OverWallet tasks and testnet participation. Currently, users can check their airdrop allocation in the Airdrop Checker within the OverFlex application (currently OverWallet).Among them, 30 million tokens (3% of the total supply) are distributed to OverWallet users, with 418,215 effective participants; 10 million tokens are distributed to OverNode users, with 52,607 effective participants; 10 million tokens are allocated to Nethers NFT holders (3,945 people); 3 million tokens are distributed to participants of OKX Cryptopedia Season 16 (469,869 people); and 1 million tokens are distributed to participants who completed the Sybil detection task on HashKey Global.Over Protocol states that the airdrop program is based on three key criteria: honesty, diligence, and scores, and verifies honesty through two rounds of Sybil detection to prevent multiple accounts and bots. "Diligent contributors" who cannot be fully assessed through Sybil detection can obtain additional verification opportunities via a Google form.
