Amendments to Airdrop #2
Aquarius governance proposes five amendments to Airdrop #2 including AQUA token valuation, rewards for liquidity providers, staggered unlock timing, and optional token locking for up to 3x reward boost. Snapshot moves to January 15.
Aquarius DAO proposes revising its Airdrop #2 distribution rules with five amendments designed to align token distribution with its liquidity provision mission. Key changes: including AQUA token holdings (at average market value) in the airdrop formula, counting XLM/yXLM/AQUA held in liquidity pools toward distribution, implementing randomized unlock delays over 30 days to prevent price crashes, and introducing an optional AQUA lock mechanism that can boost rewards up to 3x based on lock duration and amount. The amendments address concerns that the original formula incentivized asset withdrawal from pools and that synchronized AQUA unlocks created predictable downward price pressure. Development time requires moving the snapshot date from December 15 to January 15, 2026.
