Eligible Users Had Six Months To Claim $1.7B ARB Airdrop From Leading Ethereum Layer 2 Network<\/p>\n
Sometimes there\u2019s a free lunch and people just don\u2019t take advantage of it \u2014 on Sept. 25, the Arbitrum Foundation moved<\/a> $56.5M worth of unclaimed ARB tokens left over from the Layer 2 network\u2019s token airdrop in March<\/a>.<\/p>\n ARB is the governance token of Arbitrum, the leading Ethereum scaling solution with $5.6B in total value locked (TVL).<\/p>\n Early adopters of the network who were eligible for the airdrop could have claimed their tokens for nearly no cost. Now, the unclaimed tokens will go back to the Arbitrum DAO, said<\/a> the Arbitrum Foundation, which was established alongside the airdrop and is the organization that stewards the Arbitrum ecosysem.<\/p>\n The $56.5M of unclaimed tokens is remarkable \u2014 airdrop hunting is so popular that a niche industry has emerged around establishing eligibility for what have often been five-figure windfalls. It\u2019s likely many people simply aren\u2019t aware they can claim ARB tokens. Others may have lost track of their wallets\u2019 private keys.<\/p>\n To be sure, eligible addresses were still claiming their ARB allocations until the deadline, according to Arbiscan<\/a>. Given that the maximum claim for an individual address was 10,250 tokens, however, tens of millions of ARB remained unclaimed.<\/p>\n Some on social media<\/a> are theorizing that Arbitrum may distribute its reacquired ARB tokens to participants in a growth initiative called Odyssey<\/a>, which the foundation reinstated<\/a> last week. The program was so popular that network congestion pushed the Arbitrum team to pause it<\/a> when the Odyssey first launched in summer 2022.<\/p>\n The Arbitrum DAO has already voted to support a new incentive program<\/a> geared towards growing the Layer 2\u2019s ecosystem. The ARB airdrop<\/a> remains the largest in crypto history with tokens worth $1.7B distributed at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eligible Users Had Six Months To Claim $1.7B ARB Airdrop From Leading Ethereum Layer 2 Network Sometimes there\u2019s a free lunch and people just don\u2019t take advantage of it \u2014 on Sept. 25, the Arbitrum Foundation moved $56.5M worth of unclaimed ARB tokens left over from the Layer 2 network\u2019s token airdrop in March.
