About the Perpetual Airdrop Experiment
The Perpetual Airdrop Experiment Project issuer is a non-profit company incorporated in Costa Rica. It was founded with the purpose to initiate the Perpetual Airdrop experiment to evaluate the adoption of a standard with the dynamics as described in the white papers.
Coding the Project gave rise to the idea of building two experiments: the Original Perpetual Aidrop based on 9 tokens and an ultra-simplified clone of the Original Perpetual Airdrop but using a unique token: The Token ONE token. Then, focused solely on the experiment of 9 independent but linked tokens, the global project expanded to include the Token "ONE" experiment. The aim is to test two different approaches and learn by comparing their parallel and overall evolution.
The first part of the Project is the Original Perpetual Airdrop experiment. The Experiment relies on 9 ERC-20 tokens: Token 7, Token 8, Token 9, Token 77, Token 88, Token 99, Token 777, Token 888 and Token 999. On a regular basis, tokens will be airdropped to the participants of the experiment based on various criteria. They form a structure of independent tokens linked together through multiple mechanisms.
The second part of the Project is Token "ONE" experiment which is, by design, an innovation whose ambition is to develop a virtuous whole, an experiment aimed at testing, demonstrating the relevance of an on-chain ultra-simplified architecture.
Randomness
Randomness is a key part of the Original Perpetual Airdrop and Token ONE mechanisms. At launch, the smart contracts will use Chainlink VRF v2.5 technology as a random number generator, which is a transparent and recognized solution. Chainlink VRF v2.5 is a decentralized random number generator that uses state-of-the-art cryptography to ensure that the allocations are completely unpredictable and fair. This means that the users ready to take part in the experiment can be sure that they have the same fair chance (on a like-for-like basis) if they all meet the requirements listed herein. Chainlink VRF v2.5 is an open-source technology that is collectively developed by a large community of developers, researchers, and users who share the goal of building Chainlink into a public good for the benefit of the entire blockchain ecosystem.
​
While Chainlink VRF v2.5 is used at launch, as the project evolves the community can propose and vote on new randomness contracts to improve security or reduce costs. The entire system is supported by automation services, which help ensure that airdrops are executed on schedule without manual intervention. Potential future options include:
-
Ethereum VRF: A native Ethereum-based verifiable random function that could provide an alternative randomness source with lower fees and faster execution times.
-
Custom randomness contracts: The community may choose to develop custom randomness solutions tailored to the project's specific requirements.
One Project, Two Experiments
The Original Perpetual Airdrop
​​It consists in a combination of 9 tokens (Tokens 7, 77, 777, 8, 88, 888, 9, 99, 999) which are digital tokens designed to form a structure of tokens that are independent but linked through multiple airdrop mechanisms. Due to the structure formed by these airdrops, each token is reinforcing the structure in its entirety.
It is a paradigm shift for the concept of token creation. Usually, a token is created as a stand-alone token and is vulnerable by itself. Here, the group of tokens, "the structure" is designed as a self-defending mechanism, not invincible, dedicated to being more robust and secure than a stand-alone token, especially due to the random distribution of the ongoing airdrops as designed and further described in the present whitepaper. The Original Perpetual Airdrop Token is an experiment to test such structure.
Thereby, Original Perpetual Airdrop tokens are, by design, an innovation whose ambition is to develop a virtuous whole. The Original Perpetual Airdrop is an experiment designed to test the relevance of an architecture that combines several independent tokens linked by a moderating mechanism.​
Token ONE
It is a novel experiment in decentralized, on-chain token distribution using a perpetual airdrop mechanism. The project’s aim is to create a self-sustaining system. Token "ONE" achieves this by using randomness as a core element to ensure fair distribution, leveraging blockchain technology for transparency and security.
The system operates independently of human intervention, ensuring that token distribution is governed by code rather than intermediaries. Through this mechanism, Token "ONE" eliminates the need for trust in any single entity, making the distribution process automated. This innovative approach offers a new perspective.
Token "ONE"'s primary objectives are:
-
Test the feasibility of an on-chain, perpetual airdrop mechanism.
-
Evaluate the effectiveness of on-chain randomness in decentralized distribution.
-
Explore the potential for community-driven governance.
-
Set a new standard for fair and transparent token distribution.
