Supra Achieves World Record with 500,000+ Verified Users for Airdrop Ahead of TGE

• Supra made sure that its Blast Off campaign was arguably the fairest airdrop in cryptocurrency history.
• The team is nearing the end phases of their TGE and will make a formal announcement in the coming weeks.

Supra, the fully vertically integrated L1 blockchain with Multi-VM support, in-protocol oracles, VRF, bridges, and automation features, disclosed that it has successfully verified and qualified over 500,000 users for one of the fairest airdrops in cryptocurrency history, ahead of its scheduled Token Generation Event (TGE).

Supra’s ‘Countdown to Blast Off‘ learn-and-earn airdrop campaign was able to overcome the problem of bot plagues, which have generated significant criticism in dozens of high-profile airdrops in recent months, by doing KYC checks and qualifying more than 500,000 verified human users. While the majority of cryptocurrency projects often try to address the problem of farming bots after the fact, Supra’s choice to include a KYC filter supplied by Onfido.com helped avoid any significant problems from the beginning.

Through the verification of each user’s liveness and evidence of personhood in over 190 countries, Supra made sure that its Blast Off campaign was arguably the fairest airdrop in cryptocurrency history. It ensured that no sybil accounts or bots could take over the process, and that all 500,000+ participants are distinct, KYC-verified people who are excited to join its already thriving community.

World Record TGE and $100 million Ecosystem Fund

As Supra moves closer to TGE and the start of its high-performance, vertically integrated Layer-1 blockchain, CEO Joshua Tobkin thinks it’s probably verifiable that 512,332 authenticated users is a world record for any L1 launch ever.

Tobkin said:

“To recruit so many users and have them commit to the KYC process is a significant achievement for us. I’m not sure the industry has ever seen such a large number of KYC’d human users become token holders from day 1 of a new blockchain, and we’re really proud of the support the crypto community has shown us.”

More than half a million users of Supra’s ‘Countdown to Blast Off’ campaign and those who took part in their October 2023 public token sale will get their native $SUPRA token in the following months. As the founding members of Supra’s core community, these people will shortly be onboarded to the Supra Layer-1 blockchain, and Supra is honored to have them join.

CEO Tobkin stated:

“We’re incredibly excited about distributing the $SUPRA token to over half a million real humans across the world in 190+ countries at our coming launch. Implementing KYC wasn’t easy, it came with its own unique challenges, but it was crucial to protect our community from bots and farmers. Even with liveness and proofs of personhood checks in place, our Project Blast Off has amassed one of the largest user bases in Web3, and soon they’ll all be onboarded to our L1 blockchai.”

Supra recently unveiled the “Super dApp Showdown” in preparation of TGE. This initiative provides developers searching for the ideal platform to launch their dApps with a $100 million ecosystem fund. In addition, it allows these developers to reach 512,000 verified and active users, making it a launchpad unmatched in the cryptocurrency world.

With its industry-leading price feeds, verifiable randomness generator, automation, and bridges, the Supra blockchain provides a complete vertical integration of key services into a single, high-performance Layer-1. Supra’s L1 is designed to minimize the difficulties associated with Web3 user experience and onboarding.

It is driven by the innovative Moonshot consensus process, which provides its network with lightning-fast speed and strong security gurantees. Supra outperformed many competing consensus mechanisms during its advanced global testing phase, demonstrating Moonshot’s capacity to process 530k transactions per second throughput across 125 nodes distributed globally, with 500-millisecond optimistic finality and ~1.5 – 2 secs full finality. The team is nearing the end phases of their TGE and will make a formal announcement in the coming weeks.
