EVM-compatible public blockchain Fuse Network has extended Season 1 of its highly anticipated Airdrop Program, a consequence of recent issues involving referral recalculations and bad actors trying to game the system.

Fuse, which hopes to become the primary payment layer for global transactions, is delaying the program’s end date until June 16, a decision that it says will enable the team to review and secure its airdrop distribution to guarantee that only legitimate participants receive tokens.

“Our goal is to maintain a transparent and equitable distribution for all genuine participants,” read a tweet from Fuse Network.

Fuse To Be Lit on Airdrop Season 2

One of the main reasons cited for the extension related to an error in the referral program which caused users who made referrals earning more points than they should have. Having fixed this bug and recalculated the points tallies for all those making referrals, the decision was made to delay the end of Season 1.

As well as extending the program itself, the total token allocation has been enlarged to 3.5 million FUSE tokens (equivalent to around $175,000), 1 million of which will be distributed shortly after Season 1 ends and the remainder allocated for Season 2.

The second season of Fuse’s Airdrop Program will get underway on June 17, a day after its predecessor concludes. In addition to a greater bounty of tokens, Fuse has promised that Season 2 will be characterized by a slew of new and exciting quests designed to “enhance engagement and discovery”, including quests designed by its partner Layer3. 

Unlike Season 1, Season 2 will run on a rolling basis to enable continuous engagement from Fuse community members, who will be incentivized to interact with the network and maximize their rewards.

Among other tasks, new and existing users can qualify for airdrop points by following Fuse on Twitter or Telegram, using a referral link, completing a bridging task with the Fuse Console bridge, providing liquidity to Voltage DEX pools, and liquid staking FUSE tokens for sFUSE.

A business and consumer-friendly ecosystem committed to driving mainstream adoption of web3 payments, Fuse Network’s appeal stems from its low transaction costs, instant clearing and finality, and decentralized validator set. As well as boasting over 150 projects and integrations, the network has processed 135 million transactions while maintaining uptime of 99.99%.
