A snapshot for the Man vs Machine competition was taken at 3 pm EST. Congrats to the humans who came out on top. The prize pool will be distributed pro rata to all qualifying winners to the wallet used in the competition, based on total account value as of the snapshot.
3/ To keep the airdrop allocation aligned with the community of users, we use the following conversion model with 3 distinct zones:
✦ Cut-off at 10k points
Low effort farmers are excluded from the airdrop. Anyone with less than 10k points did not really use Arcadia.
✦ Linear conversion
To limit sybils, we apply a linear conversion up to the point where sybil clusters where detected. It doesn't matter whether you had 1 wallet with 5M points or 100 with 50k points, we keep the game fair for everyone.
✦ Lots of points = quadratic conversion
To increase decentralization of the protocol, we apply a quadratic conversion for large point holders. Used in protocols like Gitcoin, it is generally accepted as a fair method, rewarding smaller users over whales.
