Eclipse, layer 2 which combines the technology of Ethereum and Solana blockchains was put online with an Airdorp of his $ es token.
The team behind the network shared that the initial distribution will occur over the next 30 days.
According to a press release shared with Coindesk, a total of 1 billion tokens were struck. Among the offer, 15% are allocated to air and liquidity provisions for members of the basic community and developers who supported the network from the start. 35% will support the growth and research and development of ecosystems, aimed at helping to evolve the network.
Contributors will receive 19% of the offer, including team members, with a four -year acquisition period and a three -year locking calendar. The remaining 31% concern the first supporters and investors, who are subject to a three -year locking calendar in order to engage in the long term with the Eclipse roadmap.
The team also said that the $ es token is used for several purposes on the network. It acts like the gas token for the eclipse chain, and it also allows decentralized governance. The holders of tokens will be able to vote on the key upgrades of the protocol and the cost structures, such as the maximum extractable value (Mev) Redistribution rate. The team also stressed that the usefulness of the token could evolve over time with its decentralized governance.
The Eclipse network was put online in November 2024, but not without controversy. Neel Somani, co-founder and former CEO of Eclipse Labs, was ousted from the company in May 2024 after receiving allegations of sexual misconduct against him on X. Another controversy came in July when a Coindesk survey revealed that Somani had secretly attributed a share of freedom of the supply of $ E to a Polychain partner. This agreement with Polychain partner no longer exists, said an Eclipse spokesperson in Coindesk.
