Note: this is a living document and is subject to change.

Aperture’s incentivized private beta will be launching July 10th, 2023 on Arbitrum & Ethereum and will last for 1–3 months depending on feedback and usage. The product is a suite of tools for UniV3 LPs (read more here). If you have not signed up already for the private beta, click here.

Aperture NFA: The Barbarian

How can I earn the airdrop? What actions qualify?

To prevent “wash trading” Aperture is not disclosing the exact criteria but users who automate normal LP mgmt activities will be rewarded. As a recap our private beta contains 4 main features for UniV3 LPs:

  • Automated Rebalance (Move Range)
  • Prescheduled Position Close (Range Order)
  • Auto Compound
  • Revenue Earning Limit Order

Users who place limit or range orders will also be rewarded. Users who do such activities more frequently or with larger size will also have a better chance at getting the full airdrop.

How big is the airdrop?

  • The entire allocation for the private beta is 10,000,000 Aperture Tokens (1% of total supply)
  • Each user is eligible to receive up to 66,666 Aperture Tokens
  • Users can also receive more than 66,666 for referrals or content bonuses (see below)

How will I receive the airdrop and what is an NFA?

  • Shortly after the private beta users will be able to mint an NFT / NFA (or several NFT / NFAs) that correspond to the amount of tokens they will receive prior to TGE
  • NFA stands for “non-fungible airdrop” and is a way for protocols to distribute an “I owe you” for tokens that is tradable on any NFT marketplace
  • There will be approximately five types of NFAs - each of which will correspond to a certain amount of Aperture tokens (e.g. Barbarian NFAs = 5,000 Aperture tokens & Not-Yoda NFAs = 20,000 Aperture tokens).
  • However, Aperture will not disclose the exact amount of tokens each of the 5 types of NFA correspond to. Users will know certain NFAs are rarer / worth more but the exact values will not be disclosed immediately.
  • Tokens will be airdropped to whoever has the NFA prior to our TGE event in Q1 2024 (which could change based on market or regulatory factors).
  • Users are free to trade their NFT on secondary marketplaces (OpenSea / Blur) if they wish to transfer the airdrop rights to a different user.
  • For more information on NFAs (which were pioneered by Arken Finance) read this Cointelegraph article.

Referrals & Other Bonus Tokens!

🔥Referrals up to +16,666 per referral🔥

  • Referees get 25% of their referrals airdrop they bring in
  • Example: you refer someone who earns 33,333 Aperture tokens through their usage of the private beta. You will then receive an additional (33,333 x .25 = 8,333 tokens)
  • No cap on number of referrals!
  • Tell your friends to share your email address or wallet address when they fill out the Typeform (same form you filled out to join the private beta waitlist)
  • Referred users still have to be accepted into the beta

🐣Twitter or Medium Bonus📝

  • Aperture will also award 3,333 tokens for beta users who submit quality twitter threads or Medium articles about their LP strategy and how Aperture’s tooling was used (or can just be a general thread on our tooling and not discuss your own strategy)
  • To be eligible submit your thread or article to Aperture in our Discord by opening a ticket or submit your thread directly to Aperture team members via email or DM
  • Aperture will grant unlimited content bonuses based on quality of thread or volume of engagement
