Monad Cards and Monad Monad Boxes are our team's attempt to create a memorable, fun, and unique experience while distributing airdrop tokens ahead of the public network launch. Significant input went into the airdrop design. On the community side, we built completely new tools like the Recognizer app to gather community input. We analyzed a huge volume of social activity data using techniques like graph analysis. The Community team spent months manually reviewing profiles. And after the initial strength indicators became public, there also was a vouching process for community members to vouch for people that might have been missed. Your initial stake in the Monad network was a result of these factors. The airdrop also included wallets and social identities that are not currently members of the Monad Community. Monad is a big project, with big ambitions to be a significant epicenter of financial activity. It is important to offer people who are very active in crypto more generally and who create significant value through their DeFi/trading activity, investing activity on platforms like Echo or Legion, or membership in other communities, an opportunity to be a stakeholder in the future Monad network. I recognize that not everyone is satisfied with their allocations. It is an imperfect process, and when the stakes are this high, emotions run high. This is the start of the Monad Mainnet, and there will be many more opportunities. I would encourage everyone to be kind to each other, now but also more generally. Monad is a big and ambitious project, and if what our team - and all of the developers and community builders in the Monad Ecosystem - have built is meaningful, then it will be a point of discourse on Crypto Twitter for many years. In the future, critics will make Monad a big part of what comes out of their mouths, oftentimes preying on emotions, because cynicism and negativity get strong engagement. It is part of the price of relevance. To the members of the Monad Community, your voices have grown substantially over the past few years. As the mainnet begins and the Monad world grows, it is your time to step into your role as a larger commentator in the crypto community. What you do and say shapes the direction of the space, so wield the power with kindness and judiciousness.
