SEAM airdrop
The total supply of the SEAM token is 100 million, the community contributor said, adding that 69% of that would go to the community, with the rest to ecosystem support and foundation (20%), core contributors (8%) and community contributors (3%).
Over 5,000 Seamless users are eligible for the SEAM airdrop, the snapshot for which was taken on Dec. 8, the community contributor said. Those are "early supporters of the protocol who acquired OG Points (soulbound, non-transferrable tokens) and other community quests that were hosted on Galxe and other platforms."
Users can claim the airdrop for the next three months, the contributor noted.
