TEN Airdrop: Chapter One of Our Community Rewards Story

TEN Airdrop: Chapter One of Our Community Rewards Story

We've traveled a long and exciting path. The time has finally come.

Let's look back and remember what happened during TEN's evolution from a small Discord community into a full-fledged, first-of-its-kind L2 network with TEEncrypted execution.

🔟 / 🔟 Recognizes 🔟 / 🔟

This airdrop recognizes those who saw the limitations of first-generation L2s that only scaled, and joined us in building something that goes beyond.

You weren't just users, you were builders, testers, and evangelists.

You didn’t chase hype. You tested something most didn’t believe could exist.

While others waited for proof, you acted on conviction. You helped us push the edges of what a network can be.

And for that, we're eternally grateful.

TEN Testnet Journey

TEN Testnet Journey

It's worth noting that we haven't listed all activities, as the list is quite extensive. During this time, we also:

  1. Played quizzes, poker on Discord, geo guesser and other games
  2. Held competitions for creating memes, illustrations, emojis, and use cases
  3. Launched online hackathons
  4. Supported community-builder applications

From establishing the DeWork contribution tracking system in Q1 2022 to launching the House of TEN in Q1 2025, our community has grown tremendously through multiple campaigns, activities, and initiatives.

Now, we're excited to announce the details of our token airdrop to reward those who have been part of this remarkable journey.

So who is eligible to receive the distribution? Let's find it out.

The TEN Airdrop allocates 5% of the total token supply across three strategic recipient categories. The largest portion (3.5%) rewards Campaign Participants using a points-based tiered system spanning multiple platforms including Galxe, Intract, Zealy, Poker Pre-Launch, and the 10/10 Army. T-Points holders receive 0.98% through proportional allocation based on accumulated points. Discord Role holders earn the remaining 0.31% through fixed rewards assigned to specific community roles, recognizing long-term engagement and contribution. Unallocated 0.21% of total supply is moved to the next rewards pool. Below you can find more details about each category.

The TEN airdrop is being distributed to a total of 43,433 addresses.

Campaigns Allocation

The Campaigns Allocation rewards participants across multiple engagement platforms using a points-based system. Each participant earns activity points from various sources, which are then used to calculate their share of the allocation.

How Points Are Earned:

Campaign XP Range Points Awarded
Galxe 0-595 0
596-696 0.25
697-796 0.5
797-996 0.75
997-1280 1.0
1281-2000 1.5
2001+ 2.0
Intract 0-49 0
50-60 0.1
61-80 0.25
81+ 0.5
Zealy 0-599 0
600-900 0.1
901-1499 0.25
1500+ 0.5
Poker Pre-Launch At least 1 TX 0.5
10/10 Army Role Role holder 0.5
MAXIMUM POINTS 4

The total Campaigns Allocation budget is distributed proportionally among all eligible participants based on their total activity points. The more points earned across all campaigns, the larger share of the allocation a participant receives. One activity points is equal to 1040 TEN tokens allocated.

The minimum XP threshold for the platforms used was calculated by determining the amount of XP received after completing one of the stages specified by a particular company, for example, Galxe Stage 1 + points received from mandatory KYC.

Galxe/Zealy/Intract Snapshot Date: 07/02/2025, 12:00 UTC

At the conclusion of Stage 3 of the Galxe campaign, 1010 unique Space Musketeer NFTs were distributed through a raffle and landed on the Sepolia Network of winners. Due to the nature of these NFTs origin (distribution through a lottery), owning this NFT does not provide an increased allocation in the first season of the airdrop. However, the NFTs will be migrated to the TEN Mainnet and may serve as one of the most significant ways to verify early participation in TEN ascent. Please note that participants who own a Space Musketeer NFT are recipients of the TEN airdrop thanks to their participation in the Galxe campaign.

T-Points Allocation

The T-Points Allocation rewards community members who actively contributed to the TEN ecosystem through both DeWork platform and later via the Discord Rewards Bot. Unlike tiered points systems for specific campaigns or fixed rewards for predefined roles, this allocation follows a fully proportional distribution model designed to reflect genuine community effort.

Key Principles of the T-Points Allocation:

  1. Proportional distribution: The entire allocation budget — 0.98% of the total token supply — is distributed based on each individual’s share of total T-Points earned. The more you contributed, the larger your share.
  2. No minimum threshold: Every contribution counts. Whether large or small, all earned points contribute to your final reward.
  3. Fairness and meritocracy: This model ensures that contributors who consistently invested time, skill, and dedication into building the TEN community are recognized and rewarded accordingly.
  4. Maximum cap: To maintain equitable distribution and avoid outsized rewards, a maximum cap of 500,000 tokens per person has been implemented.

This means contributors who invested more time and effort in building the TEN ecosystem & community receive a larger share of the allocation, creating a fair and meritocratic distribution.

Discord Roles Allocation

The Discord Roles Allocation rewards active community members who held specific roles in our Discord server. Each role has a fixed token reward amount, independent of the number of participants.

Role Rewards:

Discord Role Tokens per Person
OG Musketeers 75,000
Musketeers 50,000
Server Booster 20,000
β TENster 17,500
Event Master 5,000
Meme Master 2,500
Gigabrain 2,500
Hidden Horizoner 2,500

Important Note: OG Musketeers and Musketeers roles are not stackable - you can only receive rewards for one of these roles, not both. All other roles are stackable, meaning rewards for multiple roles will be added together for eligible participants.

Excluded Roles:

The following roles were excluded from the airdrop for specific reasons:

  1. Contributor Program Roles: Buidler, CG, Creator, Writer (already rewarded via DeWork allocation)
  2. Galxe Campaign Roles: Squire, Novice, Maven, Tenosaur, Tenium, Tenior, Journeyman (already rewarded via Campaigns allocation)
  3. Special Reward Roles: Poker Shark (rewarded with T-Points)

Sybil Protection Measures

To ensure fair distribution of tokens and protect against fraudulent activity, we implemented comprehensive Sybil detection and prevention measures across all allocation categories.

Verification Methods:

Method Description
KYC Verification Gitcoin/Galxe Passport verification (For Galxe Campaign)
Multichain Activity Required activity on at least 2 EVM chains with 5+ transactions each
Behavioral Analysis Detection and removal of suspicious activity patterns
External Sybil Lists Exclusion of addresses identified in Optimism & HOP Sybil Lists

Important Note: Our Sybil detection measures were designed to prioritize genuine community members while filtering out fraudulent activity. False positives were minimized through a careful, multi-layered approach that considered activity across platforms and known EVM networks.

Token Claim & Distribution

We're calling this Chapter One for a reason.

The final network has bigger plans for how we reward our community. This first distribution recognizes our earliest builders, but it's hardly the complete picture.

Not part of this round? The story continues.

Made the cut? There's more where this came from.

The Final Chapter of this initial airdrop begins one week after the release of the Airdrop Checker. Think of it as the bridge between what just happened and what's coming next.

Important: Once the Final Chapter concludes, the Claiming Phase will officially go live. At that point, eligible participants will be able to claim their allocated TEN tokens.

What's Next?

Keep an eye on our official channels for the exact timeline of the Final Chapter and claiming instructions.

But more importantly, be a proud 🔟/🔟 and show us your support.

You're not just users or token holders, you're part of something bigger. Being part of the TEN community means you're at the forefront of what's possible in Web3.

Whether you're claiming from Chapter One or joining us for what comes next, you're home here. The final network is taking form, and every member of our community has a role in what we're creating together.

This isn't the end - it's barely the beginning.

This is where the new internet runs.

Legal Considerations

The TEN Network Association reserves the right to implement lockup periods that may apply to all participants or specific participant categories at its sole discretion. Individual participants or certain groups may be subject to different lockup conditions based on various factors determined by the TEN Network Association.

The allocation displayed in the TEN Airdrop checker might differ slightly from the original amounts shown at the time of the website's publication. These adjustments may occur due to technical, compliance, or strategic reasons.

Continuous activity and engagement within the TEN ecosystem may positively impact your allocation. The TEN Association encourages ongoing participation and might provide additional rewards to consistently active community members.

By claiming the airdrop, participants acknowledge and agree to these terms, including any applicable vesting schedules or lockup periods. All determinations regarding final allocation amounts, distribution schedules, and eligibility requirements are made at the sole discretion of the TEN Association.
