Social CGP 11 - Extension of Airdrop Claim Period

Abstract:

This proposal advocates for extending the claim period of Connext’s airdrop for users who missed out due to lack of awareness, specifically targeting those who did not engage with Twitter trends regarding the airdrop announcement. The extension aims to offer fair opportunities for users to claim their airdrop rewards, fostering inclusivity within the Connext community.

Motivation:

The community should implement this CGP to rectify the inadvertent exclusion of users who did not engage with Twitter trends but are active participants in the Connext ecosystem. Extending the claim period aligns with our community’s values of fairness, inclusivity, and support for user engagement.

Rationale:

This CGP aligns with the community’s mission of creating an inclusive environment where all users have equal opportunities. By extending the claim period, we ensure that users who support Connext but may not be active on Twitter are not unfairly excluded from receiving their airdrop rewards. This initiative reinforces our commitment to fostering a supportive and accessible community.

Key Terms:

1. Airdrop: Distribution of free tokens or coins to users of a platform.
2. Claim Period: Designated timeframe during which users can claim their airdrop rewards.

Specifications:

• Extend the claim period for the Connext airdrop by either one week or three days to provide ample time for users to claim their rewards.
• Consider offering users who missed the initial claim period the opportunity to claim at least half of their airdrop rewards to ensure fairness.
• Implement clear communication channels to inform users about the extended claim period and provide guidance on how to claim their rewards.

Steps to implement:

1. Proposal submission and community review: Allow community members to review and provide feedback on the proposal.
2. Finalization and voting: Conduct a community vote to determine the acceptance of the proposal.
3. Implementation: Upon approval, communicate the extension of the claim period through various channels and provide necessary support for users to claim their rewards.
4. Monitoring and evaluation: Monitor the effectiveness of the extended claim period and gather feedback from users to ensure a smooth implementation process.

Timeline:

Relevant timing details, including but not limited to start date, milestones, and completion dates.

Overall cost:

The overall cost to implement this CGP is at least 21 million NEXT (the amount of unclaimed tokens in the Arbitrum contract). Additionally, there may be minor expenses associated with additional support resources for users during the extended claim period, and communication efforts to inform users about the extended claim period.
