No one commits to a token for the long term, they commit to the product. If you believe in your product, you don’t need to force your community to commit under the pretext of a 10% unlock, and vesting.
Your statement is too template, not creative. I’d rate it 3/10 😹😹
Before we get to our biggest announcements, we’d like to respond to the very thoughtful feedback from @Crypto_SunnyS. We appreciate constructive input and don’t want to leave it unanswered.
Let’s go through your points one by one:
1️⃣ Why not reward more than 25K people?
We’d love broader distribution, but it comes with a trade-off: Heavy dilution. Expanding the pool reduces reward size for everyone significantly. Our priority is meaningful rewards for those who contributed the most, rather than distributing smaller, less impactful amounts arbitrarily. This TGE airdrop is just the beginning, participation itself will continue to carry value over time (e.g. via your unlocked FanScore multipliers).
2️⃣ Why don't we allow wallet updates?
We understand the frustration of lost wallet access. However, enabling wallet changes introduces a serious security risk. If exploited (e.g. by impersonation), it could compromise allocations of people with secure wallets. Meaning we had to choose between flexibility for some or protecting everyone. In doubt, safeguarding the community will always take priority for us.
3️⃣ Can vesting terms be improved?
Incentives shape outcomes. Our structure is designed to support sustainable growth and a committed community. Increasing the TGE unlock (e.g. from 10% to 50%) would likely:
▫️ Create heavy day-one sell pressure
▫️ Rendering token value less meaningful for all participants
▫️ Encourage short-term extraction over long-term support
If most choose the 9-month contract, it shows strong long-term commitment. If many pick shorter options, we can reallocate tokens to others - either way, we learn who’s truly here for the long-term.
On your last point: We couldn’t announce terms upfront due to key unknowns - number of participants, token launch timing and evolving tokenomics all directly influence fair distribution and vesting. Also, European crypto regulations impose strict limits on what can be disclosed publicly and when, which must be contractually defined in advance.
We appreciate you and everyone that feels the same way and hope this helps. We’re listening.
I didn’t have any role and only used one wallet for the @monad testnet. Even when it wasn’t announced as incentivized, I kept transacting daily, hoping there’d be hidden rewards like @berachain. Seeing the claim portal now, no regrets. Thank you.

The announcement of the $BOOST cliff extension from October 5th to December 5th is a direct betrayal of the community's trust. This isn't a "strategic adjustment" it's liquidity manipulation that blatantly disrespects our time and effort.
This action is disrespectful and disrespectful, causing deep disappointment and hurt to the community involved. The community has the right to protest and provide a rating.
Thank you
If the goal is "growth," why announce this December 5th target just days before the claim was due? It's a last-minute tactic to hold TVL hostage on the backs of early users.
We need promises kept, not manufactured "new opportunities."
