The $vNIL first redistribution sequence has been executed on Feb 3, 2022 - 2:53:41 PM. ~350 Nilistadors have received a welcoming pack of at least 3,250 $vNIL. Welcome to the fam. Among them, ~30 are joining as part of full time contributors. We are impressed by the quality of the profile joining the team. The Nil future is exciting!
For an emerging DAO, distributing ownership isa powerful leverage to rally thousands of people around a mission.
Why should airdrops last for a minute?
So far, most airdrops have taken the form of brutal distributions, usually followed by dumps. We believe that token sharing could be more than that.
Show me the incentive
DAO compete to capture participants' attention and, moreover, builders' interest. In order to favor long-term appetite in the community, we introduce the Tantric Airdrop (TA).
This practice offers DAOs the flexibility they need to progressively inspire and reward specific community activists.
Tantra from Sanskrit: तन्त्र literally means "loom, warp, weave". According to Padoux, the verbal root Tan means: "to extend", "to spread", "to spin out", and "compose". This is exactly what the Niliterium is about.
Based on the esoteric Hinduist traditions, TA consists of the progressive distribution of ownership through various recurring airdrops.
The distribution can be done based on a wide range of evolving criteria. You might prefer to initially vampire attack a community before incentivizing in-house behaviors. This is what Nil did, airdropping most of the initial liquidity to N holders and artists.
However, today we chose to nurture long term community development with an innovative recurring distribution design.
