Airdrop farmers are furious as layer 2 network Scroll (SCR) announced its airdrop allocation this week, with 7% reserved for early adopters while centralized exchange Binance will receive 5.5% for Launchpool users.

Scroll's proposed SCR token will be used for governance purposes with plans to evolve into a protocol utility token as Scroll becomes more decentralized.

The total supply of SCR will be 1 billion tokens, of which 15% is allocated for future airdrops, including 7% to be distributed on October 22; 17% will go to investors, while the Scroll Foundation will receive 10%.

The frustration stems from the 5.5% allocated to Binance Launchpool. Binance users can increase their allocation by “staking” larger amounts of Binance’s BNB tokens to the launchpool, skewing the distribution in favor of those who hold more.

"Are you still farming airdrops like it's 2022? Time to face reality; Scroll made 7% after 2 years of hard work while Binance Launchpool only made 5% in a few days, shows how we are being squeezed and how VCs are being favored. Airdrops have changed!" wrote X Axel Bitblaze user.

One of Scroll's core contributors, who goes by the name sandyzkp on X, responded to the criticism by saying, "Binance is more than just an exchange, it's the best channel to access global distribution, it will open up input and output channels and help us grow to the next stage, especially in emerging markets."

It’s also worth noting that some tokens launched on Binance Launchpool have had disappointing starts to their trading performance. Arkham’s ARKM fell from a launch price of 90 cents to 30 cents, while Portal’s PORTAL fell from $3.60 to $2.08 three days after its launch. Ether.fi (ETHFI) also debuted at $4.13 and has since fallen to $1.44.
