Vara Claim Interface is Live

With user-friendliness at its core, this dynamic platform ensures every eligible community member can effortlessly receive their VARA tokens. Navigate through the interface easily and claim your share in the decentralized ecosystem.

Airdrop Allocation and Distribution Stages

Central to Vara’s decentralized strategy is community network participation. Seven percent of the token economy is allocated to encourage community engagement through the airdrop program. Notably, 1% of the airdrop is exclusively reserved for early adopters from the total 7% airdrop pool, as outlined in the Vara Network’s comprehensive tokenomics report. This allocation will be distributed over an extended period, fostering education and on-chain learning activities.
