Below are the details regarding the benefits and structure for our Berachain Partners (Partner Squad NFTs):

Qualification for EDA Airdrop/Rewards:

Exclusive Qualification: To qualify for the EDA airdrop and rewards, users must own a EDA Squad NFT, which indicates membership in either a Ranger Squad (RS) or a Partner Squad (PS).

Limited Airdrop Recipients: Only 169 wallets will receive the airdrop, divided as follows:

  • 20 Rangers*
  • 80 Ranger Squad wallets*
  • 69 Partner Squad wallets
  • There are currently 20 Rangers, but the number may vary

Partner Squad Structure:

Partnership Allocation: Official D2 Finance Berachain partners, where there is an integration (in progress or finalized) by mainnet will receive 4 Squad NFTs as part of the partnership agreement.

Distribution of 69 Partner Squad NFTs:

  • 40 NFTs: Allocated to the top 10 integrations that have been developed, with multiple announcements expected in the coming weeks.
  • 29 NFTs: Dedicated to special initiatives within the Berachain ecosystem for projects without immediate integration with eBERA.

Weighting System:

Incentive Structure: The weighting system for the airdrop is based on a Formula 1 points system, creating strong incentives to achieve top ranks.

  • 1st Place: Eligible for 24.75% of the Season 1 Airdrop
  • 2nd Place: Eligible for 17.82% of the Season 1 Airdrop
  • 3rd Place: Eligible for 14.85% of the Season 1 Airdrop
  • 4th Place: Eligible for 11.88% of the Season 1 Airdrop
  • 5th Place: Eligible for 9.90% of the Season 1 Airdrop
  • 6th Place: Eligible for 7.92% of the Season 1 Airdrop
  • 7th Place: Eligible for 5.94% of the Season 1 Airdrop
  • 8th Place: Eligible for 3.96% of the Season 1 Airdrop
  • 9th Place: Eligible for 1.98% of the Season 1 Airdrop
  • 10th Place: Eligible for 0.99% of the Season 1 Airdrop

Achieving Top Ranks:

Investment and Allocation: To boost your Partner squad’s rank:

Season 1: All public vaults, pre-berachain mainnet, will have a 1x multiplier regardless of the strategy, same as xD2.

Season 2: The focus will fully shift exclusively to allocations in the eBERA flagship strategy after the Berachain mainnet launch (eBERA will open for deposit shortly after Bearchian mainnet).

eBERA long-term commitments: Users who deposit into the eBERA strategy for multiple epochs will have a higher multiplier. The flagship strategy will remain set at 30 day maximum limit for epoch length before allowing withdrawal at NAV (original deposit +/- pnl).

Partner Treasury:

Treasury Allocation: Partner Treasuries will receive 20% of the airdrop allocated to their squad as referral if they end up in the top 10 of the rankings.

Example:

If Partner 1 allocates the NFTs to 4 wallets, each investing $500k, resulting in a total allocation of $2M (plus potential multiplier).

If this total is enough to achieve the first rank, the squad receives 24.75% of the total EDA airdrop/rewards. Each investor gets 4.95% of the airdrop/rewards, and the partner team also gets 4.95% as a referral reward.

This structure incentivizes strategic allocations to maximize rewards for both the team and individual investors.

Additional Mechanisms for the Remaining 29 NFTs:

Pre-Mainnet Opportunities: For the remaining balance of the 29 NFTs, multiple mechanisms will be introduced to provide opportunities for users to benefit from eBERA, eBERA derivatives, and Berachain before the mainnet launch.

Conclusion: “I am a BERA i like double dipping”

These detailed benefits and structures for the 69 Partner Squad NFTs are designed to foster active participation, strategic investment, and collaboration within the D2 Finance ecosystem.

Real partners who contribute to growing the overall pie will receive meaningful upside, benefiting from both the top organic volumes generated by eBERA (when its live) and the additional opportunities for double-dipping rewards.

FAQ

Any limitations on how partners can pick their squad?

  • No, the only filtering would be related to OFAC/compliance requirements.

Can I invest in the upcoming vaults for Season 1 and later switch to eBERA for Seasons 2?

  • Yes, that’s a completely valid strategy. D2 strategies are liquid after each Epoch allowing users to withdraw at NAV after each trading epoch.

We have more than 4 people in our community interested in receiving an NFT. What can we do?

  • The only solution is to advise them to join another Partner Squad, D2 Ranger Squad if there’s a place available, or become a D2 Ranger themselves. Join the discord for full details.

Is the NFT transferable?

  • If you transfer the NFT, you will not receive an airdrop (e.g. your points will go to zero).

Where do I see my Eda Points?

  • Edamame.fun is current a placeholder, the leaderboard will be updated with Season 1 data closer to Berachain mainnet
