TL;DR

As we make final preparations for our imminent token launch, we have several important announcements to highlight for our community:

• WHO qualifies for our airdrop

• WHAT to expect from our unique token launch process

• WHY we chose EVM and Base

• HOW to onboard to Base and best prepare for TGE

WHO qualifies?

A MAJORITY portion of our total token supply will be allocated for current and future airdrops to our community of holders and players. To qualify for our upcoming airdrop, you MUST set up a wallet via the “Connect Wallet” feature in the Settings menu within our Farm Frens Telegram game before our TBA snapshot date. Here’s a direct link to do so.

Airdrop allocation will primarily be determined by:

• Total $NUTS, $DIRT, and $DUNG earned in Farm Frens

• Total Everseed Ranger, Sprout, and Diddit NFTs held

Again, to reiterate, ALL recipients MUST set up a wallet via the “Connect Wallet” feature in the Settings menu within our Farm Frens Telegram game before our TBA snapshot date. (For Everseed holders, please stand by for additional instructions on how to link your Everseed wallets with your Farm Frens wallet.)

WHAT to expect?

We will be issuing our token on a TBA memecoin launchpad, but will prevent any bot sniping because we will be scooping 100% of the supply at start. We will then distribute the tokens via airdrop to our community, and the tokens can then immediately become tradable via decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

We will not be announcing the airdrop date ahead of time. It will be a surprise (but with teasers), so make sure to ONLY pay attention to announcements on our official social media channels. Those familiar with crypto know all too well that the early bird gets the worm, so keep your eyes peeled. 👀

• Farm Frens: Twitter, Telegram

• Everseed: Twitter, Discord, Email, Telegram

WHY EVM & Base?

We have made the decision to embrace the EVM ecosystem and launch our token on Base (Coinbase’s ETH L2) for various strategic reasons. These include, but are not limited to:

• EVM has the largest body of publicly accessible smart contract code

• Ethereum has the greatest history of on-chain art and culture

• Historical structural advantages of being more established, especially in certain key countries that are especially relevant for our community

• Recent structural tailwinds, like Phantom’s Base support

• Interoperability with any EVM chain

Note that the above opinions are based upon a given snapshot in time now, so like with anything in crypto they may change and evolve in the future.

HOW to onboard?

Because we will be surprise announcing our airdrop on our official social media channels, we STRONGLY encourage our community members to prepare well in advance should you want to take advantage of any early marketplace opportunity. For anyone unfamiliar with crypto in general or Base in particular, we have taken the time to publish the below onboarding guides, categorized by section:
