We're thrilled to share the official details of the $KERNEL Season 2 airdrop distribution with our loyal community. 

The Numbers That Matter

Let's cut straight to what you're here for. After running our comprehensive eligibility assessment, we've identified approximately 20,000 users who qualify for the Season 2 airdrop. To be part of this exclusive group, participants needed to accumulate at least 150 Kernel Points throughout the season.

Every allocation is proportionally distributed based on your total accumulated Kernel Points. The more you participated, the more you'll receive. Simple, fair, and transparent.

Building a Sybil-Resistant Future

One of our biggest challenges in Web3 is ensuring that rewards go to real users, not bot farms or multi-account schemes. That's why we've implemented what we believe is one of the most robust verification frameworks in the space.

Our Two-Pronged Approach

1. Advanced Sybil Detection We've deployed sophisticated cluster ring analysis using first funder methodology. Without getting too technical, this means we can identify patterns that suggest multiple wallets are controlled by the same entity. We've also leveraged onchain activity models that flag suspicious behavior patterns common to Sybil attacks.

2. Commitment-Based Filtering Here's where we made a bold decision. Users who unstaked more than 90% of their holdings from both Kelp and Kernel protocols have been excluded from this distribution. Why? Because airdrops should reward believers, not mercenaries. If you stuck with us and kept your stake in the ecosystem, we're sticking with you.

What This Means for the Community

This distribution methodology represents our commitment to building a sustainable, community-driven ecosystem. By filtering out short-term speculators and rewarding genuine participants, we're sending a clear message: KernelDAO is here for the long haul, and we want you to be too.

The minimum threshold of 150 Kernel Points ensures that recipients have shown real engagement with our protocol. It's not about having deep pockets,  it's about being an active participant in what we're building together.

What's Next?

The distribution is commencing as scheduled for 30th June at 5PM UTC. If you're among the eligible participants, you can check your allocation through our official portal here. Make sure you're using the correct link from our verified channels, security first, always.

For those who didn't make the cut this time, remember that Season 2 is just one chapter in the KernelDAO story. Stay engaged, keep participating, and keep building with us. The best is yet to come.

A Personal Note

To every single one of the ~20,000 eligible participants: thank you. Whether you've been with us from day one or joined during Season 2, your belief in our vision and your active participation have brought us to this moment. This airdrop isn't just a distribution of tokens, it's a celebration of what we've built together.

Here's to the builders, the believers, and the long-term thinkers. Here's to you.
