A snapshot of the Stellar blockchain on January 15, 2022, at 00:00:00 UTC, decides who is eligible for AQUA Aqidrop #2. Eligibility gets decided on the base criteria of a wallet holding a minimum of 500 XLM/yXLM and at least 1 AQUA. The more XLM, yXLM, and AQUA a wallet holds, the higher the airdrop reward.

All the details can be found in our medium article, Announcing AQUA Airdrop #2.

Exchanges have the option to take part in the airdrop, with a few changes to the rules due to the amount of XLM they can hold for their users. If an exchange registers their wallets with Aquarius, we lift the 10 Million AQUA cap on their wallets that hold at least 1 AQUA at the time of the snapshot.

Users of participating exchanges only need to hold XLM on the exchange to be eligible for the airdrop, as the exchange’s Stellar wallets hold 1 AQUA to signal the airdrop on chain. This also means exchange users can hold less than 500 XLM, as exchanges will distribute proportionally to their users. Exchanges will distribute AQUA to their users in accordance with their internal snapshot of users’ XLM holdings on January 15, 2022, at 00:00:00 UTC.

Exchanges can reach the Aquarius team at airdrop@aqua.network if they would like to participate. Participating exchanges will distribute AQUA to their users according to their balances on their exchange at the snapshot time. Aquarius will distribute equal portions of total airdrop rewards in intervals over three years.
