The market keeps falling, and the only hope in the near future is OMNI. Although the number of airdrops found so far is lower than expected, the fact that OMNI was first launched on#Binanceis indeed far beyond expectations.

The total number of OMNI tokens is 100 million, with only 10,391,492 in circulation initially. Of these, 3.5 million can be mined in Binance Lanchpool, with less than 3 days left: https://launchpad.binance.com/zh-CN

The OMNI project is really familiar to everyone. Their predecessor was the DAO liquidity provider Rift. In February 2022, they announced the completion of 18 million financing, led by Pantera and participated by Coinbase. Last year, they transformed into L1 and changed their name to OMNI.

I started the CX project in February 2022 and participated in almost all activities, including MOD, Contributor, AMA/Deposit POAP, etc. Later, the project transformed, and the MOD and Contributor identities were removed, leaving only OG (a total of 162 communities).

It is common sense that the OMNI airdrop will give weight to OG and POAP holders, but the currently announced rules do not take both into account at all. Fortunately, the current airdrop plan does not seem to be the final version. I hope the team will listen to the opinions of the community and focus on taking care of OG and POAP holders. After all, we are the old friends who have been with the project for 3 years.

Fortunately, with my repeated CX, many group members have won $OMNI. Some group members temporarily rushed with multiple accounts and easily won hundreds of them in one night. Congratulations in advance.

Through the OMNI airdrop, I want to emphasize two points: You may think that the amount given is too little, but there are actually many more people who are carrying the burden forward, such as me; for projects with a history of transformation, if you continue to be optimistic about them, you should invest as vigorously as you would a new project.

Complaints aside, we still can't forget why we started out in the first place. It's like you've worked hard to lick a goddess for many years, but in the end, the goddess marries someone else and has children. All you can do is wish her happiness. Next, let's get to know the "goddess" OMNI in a comprehensive way:

①Project Overview

Omni, formerly Rift, is currently an interoperability layer based on Ethereum that enables developers to program global applications that span Ethereum's entire Rollup ecosystem.

The official adopts a dual staking model of re-staking ETH and its own OMNI tokens, protecting its validator set through re-staking ETH, making its security consistent with Ethereum L1, thereby achieving higher stability.

②Team background

All core members of OMNI have a Harvard background, which is top-notch in the entire Web3 field.

@0xASK: CEO, graduated from Harvard University and Stanford University, worked at Ripple and Microsoft

@ttarsi_ : CTO, graduated from Harvard University, and then worked as a teaching assistant in Harvard's Department of Mathematics

@MattPoreda : COO, graduated from St. Petersburg State University and Harvard Business School, worked at IBM and Harvard Kennedy School

As one of the earliest contributors to OMNI, I would like to give a sincere suggestion to the bosses: the airdrop scope should include community OG and POAP holders as much as possible, as they are the earliest supporters.

③ Financing situation

According to Binance research report, Omni raised US$18.1 million through two rounds of private token sales, with a total token sales of 20.1%. The unit prices in the two rounds were US$0.18 and US$1.5 respectively.

Omni has good investors, including large institutions such as Pantera and Coinbase, as well as the founders of Ma Ti and Aave/Lens.

④Project Highlights

According to Binance Research, Omni has the following four highlights:

Dual Staking Model: Omni is a Proof-of-Stake network secured by the combined value of re-staked ETH and staked OMNI.

Sub-second Verification: Omni nodes use CometBFT consensus to process cross-summary messages and Omni EVM transactions within one second, using alternative finalization mechanisms such as pre-confirmation and transaction insurance to provide sub-second finalization for cross-summary messages.

Diverse rollup support: Omni is designed with minimal integration requirements to ensure compatibility with any rollup virtual machine, programming language, and data availability architecture.

Backward Compatibility: Applications can integrate Omni without modifying existing smart contracts. Instead, applications can use modified front-end instructions to send cross-aggregate messages through Omni.

⑤Airdrop Rules

According to the Genesis airdrop rules previously announced by the official, 3% of the total tokens will be used for airdrops. The distribution plan is as follows↓

Omni community allocation: 1.5 million, accounting for 50%

EigenLayer re-staking users: 400,000, accounting for 13.3%

Beacon Chain Solo Stakers: 300,000, accounting for 10%

Milady Maker and Redacted Remilio Babies NFT holders: 380,000, accounting for 12.7%

Pudgy Penguin NFT holders: 170,000, accounting for 5.7%

Ninjas NFT holders: 75,000, accounting for 2.5%

Strategic cooperation agreement allocation: 175,000, accounting for 5.8%

After reading this rule, I was both happy and sad. I was happy that my fat penguin could get dozens of them, which is more than many users who participated in the test from beginning to end. But I was sad that the roles and POAPs I got during the Rift period did not have any weighting.

At present, the airdrop plan is controversial, focusing on two points:

1) The airdrop share given to the external NFT community is relatively large, diluting the proportion of members in this community

2) The OG status representing loyal supporters has no weighting, and the POAP that costs dozens of dollars in gas to deposit on the main network is useless

Today's DC means that the airdrop rules are still being revised, and a last-minute reversal is not ruled out. It is recommended that early supporters unite and calmly report their demands, and at the same time, I hope the team will listen to the opinions of the community.
