The moment you’ve been waiting for is here!
In August, the 17M RBC retrodrop for our esteemed OG holders, chosen through a December vote for the new tokenomics, will be available in RBC on the Arbitrum network.
Carefully chosen unlock dates will contribute to the stability of the RBC price.
The eligibility criteria for the retrodrop are the following. To qualify, you must have held RBC during at least one of the first three snapshots and maintain your holdings in the last two.
If you’ve been a steadfast RBC holder since our inception snapshot (from launch to 03/31/2021) through all four snapshots, you’ll receive the highest coefficient (C1) as a token of our sincere appreciation.
The next retrodrop snapshot spans a period from 03/31/21 to 12/21/21, granting holders from this period a C2 coefficient. If you’ve held from 12/21/21 to 11/01/2022, your loyalty earns you a C3 coefficient.
The grand finale approaches with the last snapshot set from 12/12/2022 onwards. Your journey of commitment and loyalty is on the brink of being rewarded. Your dedication holds immense value!
