Arbitrum: Airdrop Confirmed

The Arbitrum Airdrop has finally been confirmed and with it a whole flurry of expectations and speculation as to what will happen next. We here at Stormrake have been anticipating this for some time now and had informed our clients as early as mid October 2022 to prepare for this incredible opportunity. Read on to get prepared for one of the biggest airdrops of 2023.

Arbitrum Airdrop Overview

The token will launch and be claimable on Thursday, March 23. So if you see scam ARB tokens already trading, you should obviously avoid them. The snapshot for the airdrop was taken on February 6th of this year. If you are curious about how the eligibility criteria for the airdrop was designed, the below snapshots from Nansen will help. While obviously you can’t attempt to get the airdrop now if you were not eligible, you can take note of these criteria for any other upcoming major airdrops.

There were 625k wallets that ended up getting the airdrop, the distribution of which you can see below. If you had a wallet that received 10,250 ARB tokens, congratulations on being a supreme airdrop farmer! It is interesting to note that most of the distribution is heavily weighted towards small amounts per wallet. You can check out a pretty good dune dashboard on the airdrop here.

Tokenomics

In terms of tokenomics, the total supply of ARB is 10bn tokens, with 1.275bn being airdropped. The insider allocations for the token are higher than the UNI and OP airdrops, with the treasury, the team and Arbitrum investors owning 87% of the token. In terms of initial airdrop distribution, ARB is on the higher end vs other major airdrops like OP and 1INCH and in terms of emissions, the ARB supply schedule looks pretty good, especially for the first year.

Having looked at the distribution and qualification metrics, we can tell that a lot of thought and effort has gone into this airdrop to ensure it's rewarding the most genuine users of the Arbitrum ecosystem. The ARB token itself will be supported by most major exchanges on the day of the airdrop and will enter price discovery almost immediately.
