BlockDAG’s 100M Token Airdrop Mirrors Uniswap’s 2020 Strategy with Builder-Centric Approach

BlockDAG, an emerging LAYER 1 project, is launching a 100 million BDAG token airdrop structured to reward ecosystem builders rather than passive recipients. The initiative echoes Uniswap's landmark 2020 airdrop that created millionaires among early adopters, but with a more technical focus on network development.

The airdrop features four participation tracks: Testnet engagement for infrastructure feedback, Presale involvement for economic commitment, Social contribution, and Referral incentives. Testnet participants interact with the EVM-compatible network through smart contract deployment and bug reporting, while Presale contributors demonstrate long-term alignment ahead of the mainnet launch.

Unlike typical claim-and-dump distributions, BlockDAG's model prioritizes ecosystem stress-testing and developer onboarding before exchange listings. The phased approach mirrors Uniswap's successful ownership distribution while incorporating lessons from subsequent airdrop campaigns.
