Bluefin Airdrop Explained

Welcome to the Bluefin Community for those who are new! For the returning ones, we’re grateful to have you. It’s been four years since our inception, and in many ways, we’re just getting started. We’re glad you’re here with us.

In early 2023, Bluefin decided to build on Sui. We believe that the underlying technology best supports our vision to accelerate the adoption of decentralized finance. Here’s an overview of the protocol’s current state:

• Product: Decentralized spot and derivatives trading platform on the Sui blockchain. Spot went live one week ago and is scaling quickly!

• Metrics: The largest protocol on Sui by total volume, with over $37B traded since launching in September 2023. 57,754 total unique depositors and $27.1M TVL currently.

• Backers: Polychain, Brevan Howard, SIG, Tower Research, Wintermute, Alliance, and more.

In an effort to welcome users to join the Bluefin journey, the Bluefin Foundation has allocated up to 17.15% of the Bluefin total supply to users across existing and new users as detailed in the article below.

The airdrop portal is now live - access it here, check your points, and claim according to the vesting schedule!

How The Airdrop Was Designed

Bluefin Airdrop design considerations

• Existing participants on Bluefin were rewarded.

• Our long-standing community members were recognized - this includes Trader Alliance, Firefly Pioneers, Bluefin Ambassadors and Bluefin Leagues participants.

• We collaborated with the Sui ecosystem projects, because we are all stronger together.

• We were able to welcome users outside of the Sui ecosystem (this is important for us to grow the Sui ecosystem). As such, we have collaborated with the teams at Jupiter, Aerodrome, Wormhole, Pyth, and Elixir.

• We welcomed and partnered with key NFT communities, including Pudgy Penguins, MadLads, Azuki, and Prime Machin.

Bluefin Leagues Breakdown

Vesting

• Users have been accumulating points through various campaigns throughout Bluefin's history (Trade & Earn, Stable Pools, LPing on Spot, etc.). These points will be directly converted to tokens and form part of the user's "Historical Rewards", with 80% of them being claimable at TGE. The remaining 20% will be unlocked in the following 2 months (10% each month).

• The other part of the tokens unlocked at TGE will correspond to the Bluefin Airdrop. Users will be able to claim 50% of their airdrop allocation at TGE and the remaining 50% will be unlocked in the following 2 months (25% each month).
