Kamino, known for its innovative borrowing, lending, and yield-earning strategies within the Solana ecosystem, has been gearing up for this moment since last year.
The KMNO token is not just another digital asset; from the get-go, it will act as a governance token, giving its holders a voice in key decisions surrounding Kamino's future. This includes influence over incentive programs, protocol operations, and risk management strategies.
The launch is poised to see 10% of KMNO's total 10 billion supply circulating, alongside a reserved 7% for initial community distribution.
By introducing a points program to incentivize engagement, Kamino has prepared the ground for a significant airdrop event. This points system's distribution mechanism is designed to ward off any exploitation by airdrop farmers.
Thomas, a contributor to Kamino, explained:
The amount of points you have will contribute to the amount of tokens you will get.
The snapshot of eligible users is set for March 31st.
Kamino's commitment to its community is further underscored by plans for continued airdrops across subsequent "seasons," with a particular focus on rewarding loyalty and consistent usage of its platform.
This airdrop represents not just a milestone for Kamino but a testament to the evolving dynamics of user engagement and reward mechanisms in the crypto domain. With governance at its core, the KMNO token is set to empower its holders and redefine participatory finance on the Solana blockchain.
