We’ve been working hard to finalize the airdrop process for the last two days. According to our calculations, the airdrop amount is much more significant than our original expectations, but we are keen on keeping our word and paying back the community.

With that said, this process has many angles that create difficulties to resolve: legal, shallow market depth, our relationship with other parties, and time limitations.

Pangolin DAO aims to mitigate any price-related issues due to our actions. Our original plan was to reimburse users in SGB tokens. We’ve realized it’s not a feasible option anymore. It could create high volatility and a massive price impact for both SGB and PSB. Instead, we’ll refund in PSB tokens.

Because decentralized finance can be a legally grey area, Pangolin DAO tries to ensure all actions are legally compliant. Due to that fact and the difficulty of finding good lawyers with experience in web3, we sometimes find ourselves in non-ideal situations where we have to change promises to ensure we stay safe from regulators.

Here’s what’s happening next:

  • Taking PSB from team allocation, treasury funds, and protocol-owned liquidity
  • Multi-stage airdrop (at least 3) happening over the coming weeks
  • First airdrop on Friday, Sept 16th
  • Total amount paid in PSB

We want to refund our early supporters as soon as possible, but unfortunately, paying the total amount in PSB will take time. We will be using our treasury allocation, which vests linearly. This means we don’t have all the PSB on day 1 and is why it must be in multiple stages.

All airdrops will go live here: https://app.pangolin.exchange/#/airdrop
