# The EXA Airdrop is Here!

Last Tuesday, we introduced [our next step in the Exactly Protocol’s path to decentralization](https://medium.com/@exactly_protocol/the-exa-token-is-here-88a2449c4eb3), which involves the launch of the [EXA token](https://docs.exact.ly/guides/exa-token) in OP Mainnet, which will function as the native governance token in the Exactly DAO.

Today, we are proud to announce the beginning of the **EXA airdrop** to foster community engagement, awareness, and protocol adoption.

**EXA Airdrop**
===============

Exactly Protocol users that have already used the protocol in OP Mainnet since the inception of the [OP token rewards program](https://medium.com/@exactly_protocol/op-rewards-are-now-live-at-exactly-protocol-1f119d483e6) last April, will receive an airdrop of 1% (100,000 EXA) of the total token supply (10,000,000 EXA). The eligibility criteria will be proportionate to the OP rewards previously distributed through our [Rewards Controller](https://docs.exact.ly/guides/protocol/rewardscontroller) as of July 18th, 2023, 19:00 UTC. Users assigned OP rewards but didn’t claim them will also be eligible for the airdrop.

**Users can claim their stream of tokens on July 25, 2023, at 4 pm UTC.**

To keep our community engaged and ensure a steady EXA supply, we will implement a gradually **linear stream of 4 months** for airdrop tokens, beginning from the claim date. Eligible users will receive their EXA airdrop through a gradual stream facilitated by [Sablier](https://sablier.com/). All related activities and processes will happen through the Exactly web app in the new [Governance section](https://app.exact.ly/governance).

Once you make your initial claim, the Sablier stream commences, unlocking your funds linearly over a period of 4 months. The value of your airdrop is divided into 9,676,800 seconds, equivalent to 4 months or 112 days. With each passing second, a portion of your funds becomes available for withdrawal.

**Airdrop Eligibility**
-----------------------

Users who want to check if they are eligible for the EXA airdrop can do so at this [link](https://github.com/exactly/protocol/blob/main/scripts/airdrop.json). There you will find a JSON file with all the recipient addresses of the EXA airdrop and the amount of EXA tokens that correspond to each of them. Users can also check the criteria used to generate the JSON at this [link](https://github.com/exactly/protocol/blob/main/scripts/airdrop.ts).

The amount in the JSON file is defined with 18 decimals. So if the value for an account address is _1000000000000000000,_ then the account will receive **1**EXA token (to be streamed during 4 months). As another example, if the value is _123,_ then the account will receive a total of **0.000000000000000123**EXA.
