Protocol Airdrop

The protocol and community airdrop is intended to be a major step for Orvex on Status.
It is designed to:

  • Attract meaningful TVL and governance participation
  • Onboard key partners into the Status ecosystem
  • Incentivise aligned communities to become part of the Orvex flywheel

veORVX protocol airdrop

A dedicated share of the initial ORVX supply will be reserved for protocol airdrops to projects that are meaningfully aligned with Orvex’s liquidity layer.

Selection criteria may include:

  • Existing or potential TVL on Status
  • Historical and projected trading volumes
  • Technical quality and security of the protocol
  • Strategic fit and collaboration potential with Orvex and Status
  • Balance between native Status projects and protocols from other chains

The intention is to create a virtuous cycle, where recipients:

  • Use veORVX to vote emissions towards their own key pools
  • Reinforce liquidity for their tokens on Orvex
  • Potentially recycle part of their rewards into further incentives for their gauges

This helps build a self-sustaining ecosystem in which partner protocols are active participants rather than passive recipients.

  • Airdropped allocations are expected to be locked as veORVX for a defined period (for example, up to 24 months), to align recipients with long-term governance and liquidity goals.

Confirmed protocols to receive airdrop

The list of protocols and exact allocations will be announced closer to launch, once:

  • Tokenomics are finalised
  • Partner discussions are complete
  • Governance has had an opportunity to review the framework

Details of the protocol airdrop (eligible protocols, percentages and lock terms) will be published here once the final list is agreed.
