# Airdrop

## Goals

I see building this community as like building a bonfire. Just like it doesn't make sense to start a bonfire by using a lighter on a log, it doesn't make sense to start this community by trying to get the widest possible reach. Instead, I'm optimizing for *a small, engaged group of people who are emotionally and financially aligned with the Meta-DAO's success*.

## Overview

Here are the high-level bullet points:

- The airdrop will distribute 1% of the META supply; the rest will be held by the DAO.[^1]
- I split eligible recipients into two categories: *cyber-capitalists* and *techno-analysts*. 5000 META will be distributed to the cyber-capitalists, and 5000 to the techno-analysts. There are 16 people elligible to become cyber-capitalists and ~70 elligible to become techno-analysts.
- To be elligible, you had to be in the Discord by 11/8, before we announced that there was an airdrop. I broadcast that we were going to have an auction, not an airdrop, explicitly to preclude people who would only join for the airdrop.
- To receive the aidrop, recipients will need to take a quiz, which functions both as an explainer of the Meta-DAO's mechanics and as a sorting mechanism.
- The Meta-DAO's treasury will be bootstrapped with 10,000 USDC. So each META token would start with a book value of $1.

### Cyber-capitalists

I wanted to give more META to the people who are likely to be a part of the small, engaged group that will drive the Meta-DAO's success. Of course, I don't expect any commitment from anyone, but I can try to lure you in! :)

I decided cyber-capitalist elligibility based on prior engagements / contributions and on my own intuition. I make no claims of fairness! Here's the list of people who are eligible to become cyber-capitalists:

- 0xNallok (@0xTuti on Twitter) CLAIMED
- 7LayerMagik (@7LayerMagik)
- bigz (@bigz_pubkey) CLAIMED
- BlockchainFixesThis (@M_Danger_Bick)
- doctor.sol (@doctor_solana)
- Dodecahodr0x (@Dodecahedr0x) CLAIMED
- frank (@soundsonacid) CLAIMED
- King (@DefiSolar) CLAIMED
- LegalizeOnionFutures (@dj_d_sol)
- limez (@0xLimez) CLAIMED
- Madhatt3r (@pokerchessman)
- Nicovrg (@nicovrg_)
- Proph3t (@metaproph3t) CLAIMED
- rar3 (@stayrar3)
- StrategicHash (@StrategicHash)
- Taipan (@itsTaipan) CLAIMED

That's 16 people. Given that 5000 META is going to the cyber-capitalists, each cyber-capitalist will receive at least 312 META.

### Techno-analysts

This is the list of people who are eligible to become techno-analysts:
- .tom0nly
- 0xn4te
- Alkine CLAIMED
- amilz
- apdesign
- bc513
- chill22
- Deanmachine
- ebu
- farhanrao897
- Kaash
- Lysimach
- Mark B.
- nikkon
- PJLYUN
- Quisius CLAIMED
- slyrrp
- stanleyvinci CLAIMED
- Takisoul
- Wattson
- wessa
- .marie
- 0xMert
- aaaaa
- adamdelsol
- Ainz
- alesca
- alex_dp00
- ascend
- Astro_Droid
- Aursen
- Baba
- Binye
- Block Enthusiast
- Boneman
- Butter
- Craft
- crispheaney
- Davido
- georgekourou
- hop_alert
- J
- Jeffrey
- Jolly
- KingJon
- krane
- Lacedup
- MetaGhost
- mintmantemope
- mm CLAIMED
- okeiasammy
- Orage Zen
- Ozymandias
- Padi
- resiquents
- Rhii
- RYU pat
- smoothie
- Sumatt
- tanny.sol
- tROOent
- tsapsuy
- Wattson
- Yogz
- Zenllama
- JasperCPS
- harkl
- connan
- laine
- XerifBill
- emrata
- Wattson
- Cus Andara
- lui
- Durden
- joebuild
- r0bre

That's 78 people. So each techno-analyst will receive at least 65 META.

### Claiming

Claiming will be the same for both cyber-capitalists and techno-analysts. I'm not going to give you the whole claim process right here (this is a sorting process too, remember? :slightly_smiling_face:), but the general gist is this:

- like and retweet the original announcement thread
- at some point in the next week, the @metaDAOproject Twitter account will tweet about a quiz
- you will have 24 hours to complete the quiz and claim the airdrop

I estimate that ~50% of those who are eligible will make it through the claiming process.

glhf!


[^1]: This isn't a 'high float low FDV' situation because the DAO should only issue those tokens for accretive activities (activities that drive more value per token), and could even burn them if it wanted to.


### Tweet thread

The Meta-DAO is launching today, on @solana. Details below

--

The Meta-DAO is the first market-governed organization in the history of human civilization.

It uses futarchy, a mechanism invented by GMU economist @robinhanson, to make decisions.

You can learn more at themetadao.org.

--

What we're announcing today is the launch of the Meta-DAO and the distribution of its native token, META.

Over the next week, 10,000 META will be airdropped to eligible participants.

--

These META will be the only ones in circulation. All other META will be held by the DAO's treasury (H6RBUqJTyu6KXZtaBc59Na8xg1tabv613t3Nxo7aQxRn)

@metaproph3t has seeded the treasury with $10,000 in USDC, which gives each META a book value of $1.

--

The airdrop will be done in two tiers: 'cyber-capitalists' and 'techno-analysts.'

Each tier will receive 5,000 META.

There are 16 people eligible to become cyber-capitalists and ~70 eligible to become techno-analysts.

--

So a minimum of 312 META per cyber-capitalist and 65 META per techno-analyst.

Those eligible are listed at the bottom of this thread.

--

To be elligible, you had to be in the Discord before this anouncement. 

@metaproph3t broadcast that we were going to have an auction, not an airdrop, explicitly to preclude people who would only join for the airdrop.

--

Claiming is a two-step process.

Step 1: like and retweet the announcement

Step 2: at some point in the next week, this account will post a quiz on the Meta-DAO's mechanics. Claimants will have 24 hours to complete this quiz.

--

The goal with the claiming process isn't to get the widest possible distribution.

Instead, we're optimizing for a small, engaged group of people who are emotionally and financially aligned with the Meta-DAO's success.

--

This is also how we chose who was eligible to become cyber-capitalists: "who is most likely to be a part of the small group of people that drives the Meta-DAO's success?"

In the end, it came down to engagament in the Discord, contributions to the codebase, and intuition.

We make no claims of fairness!

--

Without further ado, this is who's eligible to become a cyber-capitalist:
