Second-Chance Distribution: 10-Day Extension for Unclaimed $PUMP Airdrop Claims

Summary

This proposal authorises a one-time, 10-day extension of the $PUMP airdrop-claim period, allowing eligible wallets that missed the original deadline to claim the remaining 2,754,760.9813 $PUMP (≈0.275 % of total supply) currently held in the claim contract 0xC98565cEDd1aA49cdD00C9855E10F181cEEf4b32 on BNB Chain. Several other DAOs have successfully granted extra time to claim tokens when technical or UX hurdles delayed community uptake.

Motivation

1. Fairness & Inclusivity – Governance tokens are meant to broaden participation. Data from comparable drops show that 5-15 % of eligible wallets routinely miss initial deadlines because of custody constraints, lost private keys, or onboarding confusion.
2. Stronger DAO Legitimacy – Extending the window signals that the DAO values genuine users over purely deflationary optics, echoing community feedback seen in other forums.
3. Precedent from Peer DAOs –
   • Optimism continues to run multiple seasonal drops rather than close claims forever.

These examples illustrate how a transparent, time-boxed extension can improve goodwill without permanently bloating supply.

Pros

• Boosts decentralisation and voter roll size.
• Strengthens community goodwill and reputation for fairness, as highlighted by governance best-practice docs.

Cons / Mitigations

• Slight inflationary pressure – capped at <1 % and completely visible.
• Execution risk – limited to one parameter call; rollback plan is to keep previous deadline if the tx fails (no funds move).
• Precedent – proposal states this is one-time; any additional extensions would require new governance.

Voting Options

| Choice | Meaning | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | FOR | Extend claim window by 10 days; allow unclaimed wallets to claim; any leftovers after that period require fresh governance to burn or reallocate. | | AGAINST | Do not reopen the claim window; unclaimed tokens remain subject to the existing burn proposal. |

Conclusion

Re-opening the claim portal for a brief, clearly communicated period is a low-risk, high-goodwill action that aligns PumpBTC with inclusive governance norms while still preserving the option to burn remaining tokens later. The DAO’s next step is to decide via Snapshot vote and, if approved, execute a single deadline-update transaction on BNB Chain.
