XRP Holders Get New Dates for Hotly Anticipated Airdrop

Evernode, a Layer 2 smart contract platform built on top of XRP Ledger (XRPL), has provided an update regarding its highly-anticipated airdrop intended for XRP holders.

Evernode Announces New Date for Airdrop 

On September 1, the Evernode team conducted a snapshot to determine the eligibility of XRP holders for the airdrop of its native token dubbed “Evers” (EVRS).

According to Evernode, the airdrop will include a two-step process: a snapshot of XRP holdings on mainnet and then an airdrop to eligible accounts on the Hooks sidechain based upon their owner’s XRP holdings on mainnet. Evernode revealed intentions to distribute approximately 5,160,960 EVRS to eligible XRP holders.

The airdrop had been delayed by the release of Xahau, a new smart contract sidechain that will facilitate the creation of the EVRS tokens. However, with the launch of Xahau earlier this month, the airdrop event is now edging closer. Evernode had mentioned that the airdrop would only happen if the sidechain is released.

Meanwhile, in its latest update, Evernode stated that it will commence the “formal process of preparing for the airdrop” on November 27. The platform noted that it will share a tool for users to register safely for the airdrop and calculate the amount of EVRS tokens they will receive based on the snapshot taken on September 1. 

Token Launch Delayed 

However, Evernode mentioned that its native token might not launch until December 18 because the XRP-based wallet XUMM has been “unexpectedly delayed” in supporting the cloning of XRPL accounts on Xahau. 

“On the positive side, we have completed the successful audit of our 3 Hooks, so a major milestone towards being ready for launch has been completed,” Evernode said.

Evernode said it has already created the Xahau address for issuing its native token. The platform urged XRP holders to be aware of this address and use only it to set trust lines and receive their EVRS airdrop.
