There will be no utility or value, so please don't FOMO. After the test token, the token economics and the official ME token TGE will be announced.
Puffer explains the design concept of TGE, which will avoid the distribution of tokens being heavily biased towards witches or whales
Puffer officially announced on October 3 that the distribution of its tokens will prioritize the following three matters: first, true participation in the Puffer ecosystem; second, bringing long-term value to Ethereum; and third, consistently adhering to its sharing principles.
Puffer mentioned that it is not easy to design a correct airdrop. Many communities have been split due to improper airdrop designs. Although there is no absolutely perfect design, Puffer will focus on rewarding community members who are most in line with their values. If the token distribution is heavily biased towards witches or whales, it may split the community’s common goals and values, and then the collective vision.
As for the specific token economic model and token distribution details, Puffer reminded the community to pay close attention to subsequent developments.
