The recent airdrop announcement by Manta has sparked concern within the Celestial community. The requirement to bridge $TIA through the Hyperliquid protocol excludes dedicated stakers, who many consider the project's backbone.
Knowing fully well that $TIA stakers are the backbone of the celestial blockchain.
The recent airdrop criteria for the airdrop distribution have been viewed by many as a fud to the celestial community and have urge the celestial developers to look into projects using the $TIA user base and popularity while claiming to airdrop the community.
The criteria for the Manta bridge campaign rewarded only top 3 of
@Hyperlane_xyz
@ApertureFinance
@pacificswap
@KiloEx_perp
@goku_stable
@LayerBankFi
This decision is perceived as "fudding" the community, as it seemingly contradicts claims of rewarding Celestial users. The airdrop focuses solely on the top 3 users of specific DeFi protocols, with no direct allocation for $TIA stakers.
In essence nothing for the stakers. All eyes is now on $ALT Layer, who also promised airdrop to $TIA stakers but never announced the tier or the $TIA requirements.
With this ongoing trending many are speculating that the price of the $TIA may become bearish in the next 20 days (stalking unbounding period) as many users may likely be unstaking their $TIA following the fud tweet by $MANTA Blockchain.
Hopefully more truthful projects like $Dymension protocol will emerge until then we would love to hear what guys think about this, share your thoughts in the comment section.
Thank you.
