And were does it end? this second airdrop wave would cost us 40m USD, is that the best way we can spend 40m USD on marketing? should we keep doing more airdrops then? It doesn’t make any sense
Because those users never bothered to even interact with the Uniswap protocol directly in the first place, most likely they don’t really care about it… they are Dharma users, before the airdrop they didn’t even tried to use Uniswap directly (otherwise they would have been included)
No, someone who willingly tried Uniswap before the 1st of September, or provided liquidity to Uniswap v1 doesn’t belong to the same community as someone who happen to be routed using Uniswap by pure chance.
The airdrop wasn’t perfect, that doesn’t mean that we need to keep accentuating the problems of the initial airdrop.
The Argent case was different, the users that used wallet connect to interact with Uniswap received their airdrop just fine, that’s because they opened https://uniswap.exchange/ and did the trade there, Argent was just a wallet in that sense, they are Uniswap users. On the contrary some users traded using the Argent “exchange” integration, those users are Argent users and they didn’t interacted with Uniswap directly, they didn’t received the airdrop.
InstadApp users shouldn’t have received the airdrop, but at some point they cannot be distinguished from “Real” users without having to implement complex rules for that, so it’s a known inefficiency of the original airdrop, that doesn’t mean that we need to keep worsening the situation.
