SEI has designed a problematic airdrop process for the "Seilors" of the new Layer 1. Earlier, the team declared that they were preparing an exceptional airdrop for the crypto ecosystem. The expectation was huge from the project as there was a deep disappointment in the airdrop of SUI a couple of months ago.
SEI Foundation tweeted an update regarding the airdrop. When they said it is unlike any other, nobody believed in them 😅
SEI decided to follow a unique strategy to bring thousands of active blockchain users to the new Layer 1. The team targetted those who use other blockchains, such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon L2, Solana, Arbitrum and Osmosis, to add value to their ecosystem. Basically, the active blockchain users will be airdropped some free SEI tokens to take part in the new world.
However, there are some criteria of the team, as well.
First of all, you need to bridge your assets to SEI via Wormhole.
To be able to do that, you need to download Compass wallet that you will receive your funds on SEI blockchain.
Personally, I transferred some funds from my Polygon wallet. However, you may choose not to trust the developers as there is no sign of life in the new place where you give your money with no question.
It is likely more Sei Wallets will be mainnet-ready in the coming days.
please ensure you have the latest version, have imported your wallet to one that is mainnet-ready and are connected to Pacific-1 Mainnet.
Actually, it is like transferring your money and waiting for mainnet to be launched. Yet, why did not the team launch it beforehand? This is a question that nobody has successfully answered.
For those who used the testnet, there is a website where they can check their wallet eligibility.
Incentivized Testnet Eligibility Check
If eligibility is true, then you will get an airdrop. Congrats 🎉
Those who are eligible will also see eligibleAmount with a couple of numbers.
For the number of tokens you will get, you are expected to make a calculation to get the exact number. For that, you will divide the number by 1 million.
If you see 18M over there, you are eligible for 18 SEI tokens on the mainnet.
According to some sources you can claim mainnet tokens on Blog Sei. However, it is too new and I have not double-checked. The blog site is official but maybe the distribution has not started.
Overall, there is nothing clear yet but this ambiguity is also a problem for the project. People do not want to bear the shady actions of a new developer team that tries to bring crypto whales. Actually, even before the mainnet settles down, they lost their potential community.
Atlantic Contributor Rewards and Cross-chain Airdrop programs are active. Some people tweeted about the error that the website is restricted in their country. Yet, they can try it on 2 different links below:
App Sei CrossChain Link
App Sei Rewards Link
Either SEI will reward everyone well for their efforts on testnet or there will be nobody to use their blockchain as SUI suffered. There are not many options for the developers because the community is frustrated already. A satisfactory airdrop is the only possible choice for SEI to survive. Otherwise, welcome to the new left-behind Layer 1.
The rules of this airdrop game are simple, "pay them well". Besides, airdrop hunters do not tolerate such activities. I hope SEI team is doing something logical behind the stage.
We will keep the crypto community updated on Hive blockchain via LeoFinance. Honestly, it is too hard to find information about the case of SEI on Twitter, Youtube or crypto news platforms.
Hive On ✌🏼
