Airdrop Mechanics
Each Tharwa airdrop is tied to a Points Season - and each season is structured to reward participation that actually benefits the protocol.
We don't do surprise retroactive giveaways or gamified point farming. Airdrops are structured, publicly tracked, and merit-based. If you're using the system as intended, you'll see that reflected in your points - and later, in your TRWA.

General Airdrop Framework
While specific mechanics may evolve with each season, the general structure follows this pattern:
Track engagement over a fixed season (3 months)
Snapshot point balances at season close
Convert points into TRWA based on the season’s emission cap
Distribute TRWA via claim portal, with optional locking incentives
Airdrop events are not random. They’re announced in advance and tied to measurable activity.
Allocation Curve
TRWA from each season is distributed along a weighted curve - not 1:1 with points.
This avoids whales dominating the drop and ensures that smaller but consistent contributors are meaningfully rewarded.
Designs may include:
Weighted brackets that favor sustained engagement
Caps on maximum allocation per wallet
Bonus multipliers for early actions or multi-season participation
Optional boosts for locking or converting to sTRWA
Each season’s model will be disclosed ahead of time, including total emissions and distribution logic.
Airdrop Oversight
Airdrops in the early seasons - including Genesis - are coordinated by the Tharwa core contributors.
Future community governance via sTRWA may eventually guide:
Emission caps for each season
Conversion ratios
Eligibility criteria
Seasonal adjustments and exclusions
But for now, the focus is on delivering fair, transparent distributions that reward early alignment - while laying the groundwork for decentralization later.
Sybil Protection
Each season includes backend sybil resistance logic to protect against abuse, including:
Wallet clustering and behavioral heuristics
Anti-bounce LP score modifiers
Referral abuse detection
Potential disqualification for known exploit patterns
The intent is to make farming hard - and actual participation worthwhile.
