BUILD is more than a memecoin. It's an onchain builder economy, with a fair-launched token, a decentralized community and a powerful brand.
Visit build.top/airdrop1 to see your potential $BUILD token allocation. Claiming $BUILD tokens will open on June 12th, for most eligible users, and stay open until June 30th. No need to rush.
Let's push for a collective commitment of >50% on Airdrop 1 and keep building. We're just getting started. If we all commit, BUILD can really succeed!
All tokens committed go to the BUILD Summer Fund, and will be redistributed to builders during Onchain Summer, while we work on Airdrop 2.
Building is hard and should be nurtured. That's why BUILD exists, to help discover and reward onchain builders with both social and financial capital.
But what's a builder?
We believe that anyone can be a builder, but becoming one requires courage, creativity and commitment:
Courage: taking risks, accepting challenges and pushing boundaries.
Creativity: curiosity, optimism and creating value.
Commitment: effort, accountability and the resilience to keep building.
If your vibe is generosity, collaboration, and finding new builders to connect with, the BUILD community is for you. Builder is an attitude, not a skill or a role.
Don't forget to mint the Manifesto for Onchain Builders.
BUILD is more than a memecoin, it's an onchain builder economy, that includes a fair-launched token, a decentralized community and a powerful brand.
We believe all builders deserve some recognition, but most builders are still unknown, while popular builders get most of the credit. BUILD Airdrop 1 was our answer to this problem, and aimed at reaching as many builders as possible and setting a baseline reputation for the BUILD community. The airdrop was a successful first experiment, allowing us to reach 200K+ people.
BUILD Airdrop 2 will be about building a sustainable and decentralized builder economy. We plan to run experiments around UBI (Universal Builder Income), that can reward committed builders with both social and financial capital. Because even a small reward can motivate builders to keep building.
The BUILD economy runs on nominations to redistribute value, and is designed to power more builder activity onchain. Funds enter the economy from organizations and sponsors that want to appeal to builders, and also from individuals that want to give back to a new generation of builders.
Airdrop 1 was a successful first experiment, but BUILD is just getting started. Now the community has a choice: we either commit or quit.
We can commit to grow BUILD into a real onchain builder economy 🫡
Or we can all claim our $BUILD tokens and quit this experiment
A collective commitment of >50% from Airdrop 1 (75B $BUILD), will be a very strong signal for the team to keep building during Onchain Summer, and to start preparing Airdrop 2 for September.
BUILD is only sustainable if we continue to pay it forward.
All $BUILD committed goes to the BUILD Summer Fund (details below).
The more $BUILD you commit, the more reputation you are building
Visit build.top/airdrop1 to see your potential $BUILD token allocation for Airdrop 1. Claiming $BUILD tokens will open on June 12th, for most eligible users, and stay open until June 30th, so no need to rush.
In the claiming flow, you will be presented with 3 options:
Commit 100% of your token allocation to the BUILD Summer Fund.
Airdrop allocation multiplier applied to tokens committed.
Participate in BUILD governance (in the future).
BUILD Budget for future airdrops based on tokens committed.
Featured in new leaderboard, ranked by tokens committed.
Commit 50% of your token allocation to the BUILD Summer Fund.
Claim 50% of $BUILD tokens now, with allocation multiplier.
BUILD Budget for future airdrops based on tokens committed.
Featured in a new leaderboard, ranked by tokens committed.
Wait another week, and claim tokens only on June 18th.
Allocation multiplier is not considered.
Lower BUILD budget for the next airdrops.
Tokens committed from Airdrop 1 will be redistributed to builders during the summer, using new variations of the nominations game. This will give the team time to prepare a great Airdrop 2 experience. It's important to move fast, but also not to rush things.
Currently, our summer priorities are:
Make nominations more natural and intrinsic-driven, for example by tagging @buildbot on Farcaster to nominate.
Receive notifications via Farcaster Direct Casts and XMTP.
Promote more composability, by improving the BUILD API and creating more public bounties to integrate with BUILD.
Kick-off ecosystem grants, to reward builders that are actively contributint to make BUILD better.
Create fun ways to spend $BUILD tokens and points, for example merch or lotteries.
Organize or sponsor IRL meetups. There's 2 already events planned, one for Lisbon (June 29-30) and another for Brussels (July 12).
Will you quit or commit?

There is one major difference though. Many of us purchased WAPCAST to be eligible as opposed to build. So I would expect people to be willing to receive some amount of cash
@macedo what are the plans for Season 2?
Check here: https://paragraph.xyz/@macedo/build-announcement-4?#h-build-summer-fund
Airdrop 1 is now fully unlocked for eligible users. If you don't want to commit any tokens, you can claim your $BUILD (without allocation multiplier) until June 30th. There's also news regarding governance and first payments to contributors. https://paragraph.xyz/@macedo/build-announcement-5
Is there any way to change the claiming wallet? Haven't claimed because of the error when not using the FC one
Hey @miguelgarest.eth For now, the only solution we have is using your FC custody address to claim. We will reassess the scale of this issue after June 30th and decide how to process from there.
@miguelgarest.eth please fill this form, so we can help you with the Farcaster custody address issue, after June 30th. We will need to create a airdrop new smart contract, with your new address whitelisted. Thanks! https://app.deform.cc/form/2d5c0428-f0e1-47d2-b352-30971dfb5cb7/
Is the wallet claiming issue fixed? Not the one where we need to enter seedphrase in different wallets to claim...
We don't have another solution at the moment. We will reassess the scale of this issue after June 30th and decide how to process from there.

@buildbot nom
@buildbot nominate
I've been tryna commit all my rewards but I keep getting this metamask warning to proceed with transaction (like:higher fees may imply) proceeding to sign the txn...could take over $10 in Eth base Is that how it's meant to be ? @macedo
great update and loved reading inline from the feed!

beware of scam!

hi, what's next for $build?
There's some info here: https://paragraph.xyz/@macedo/build-announcement-4 more will be shared soon
thanks. I see you shared about /talent so just wondering if you will switch your focus into $talent instead of $build
This week I built an Airdrop claiming mechanism for /build, that tried to persuade people to commit (aka donate) half or all of their token allocation. In less than 48h, 26k people already committed 67B $BUILD tokens, and claimed another 27B (from a total of 150B allocated to Airdrop 1). All tokens committed will be redistributed to builders during the summer, using new variations of the nominations game. Note: to claim all their tokens, participants need to wait until June 18th. https://paragraph.xyz/@macedo/build-announcement-4
let's collaborate → /herocast open-source Farcaster client for power users with active contributors https://github.com/hero-org/herocast/
I am pumped by how you are running this Great stuff
now that we committed all our tokens back, will we be able to put in requests/proposals for allocation or is it all going to be nomination based?
it will be nomination based, but if you have ideas/proposals on how to better allocated these tokens to reward great builders, please let us know
Be interesting to think through normalizing the popularity vote by trickling down any over voted nominees to lower-ranked nominees. (ie: if the top 20 have X% over the average votes then the overage is redistributed but not affecting their rank) &/or categorize nominees into groups like Developer, Leader, Creator, and Viber to allow nominees to add another layer of builder identification. 🤔 🤷
happy to commit. Lets Build! 500 $degen

Let Go /Build 🔥🔥
curious what % of the tokens for Airdrop 1 still need to be allocated (i.e., across split, commit, claim)?
I was more than happy to commit 100% of mine. The project deserves to succeed and I hope my contribution helps in some tiny way
GM f4f! The Airdrop 1 token claiming period is open. Eligible users can start claiming until June 30th. Read more about the future of BUILD here (thx: @macedo).
