The Ardor launch will happen in 2017, but the distribution of the main ARDR tokens will be based on the Nxt 1.0 balances. It is the first scalable blockchain platform using 100% proof of stake.
Starting July 14th, the Nxt network will take a snapshot of all the account balances every hour. This will last for three months. At Nxt network block 1,000,000, sometime in October, every Nxt account will receive an amount of Ardor assets equal to the average of all the snapshots taken - so you'll get as many Ardor tokens as the average of your NXT balance during those three months. So anyone who holds NXT during the snapshots period, regardless of when the NXT were acquired, will participate in the initial Ardor distribution.
After Nxt network block 1,000,000 your account still keeps the NXT you are holding at that block, as usual. And from that moment, ARDR assets also become tradable in the Nxt asset exchange.
This is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor for this updated platform. Get some free coins and profit! Good luck!
