FOAF Foundation Airdrops

The FOAF Foundation uses airdrops to distribute FOAF tokens, bootstrapping adoption of the GrowOperative app and building the trust-layered ecosystem behind the future FOAF marketplace.

FOAF tokens are issued directly to gardeners, resilience communities, node builders, and contributors — enabling them to earn RHEO via staking, participate in governance, and extend access to others through trust chains.

Airdrop Overview

  • Allocation: 2.5M–3M FOAF tokens (10–12% of 25M total supply)
  • Purpose:
  • Jumpstart network participation in targeted pilot regions
  • Seed trust chains for RHEO flow
  • Reward contributors and early adopters
  • Eligibility:
  • Join through an approved trust chain or community
  • Complete one or more qualifying tasks (below)
  • All airdrops are traceable to a FOAF holder or verified node organizer

Tiered Airdrop Tasks

Tier Criteria FOAF Reward
Level 1 Sign up + list at least one garden item 10–25 FOAF
Level 2 Complete a trade (cash, credit, or RHEO) 25–50 FOAF
Level 3 Refer a new user who also completes a trade 25 FOAF
Level 4 Participate in a DAO vote or governance pilot 50 FOAF

All activity must be verifiable through the app or trusted contact linkages. Referrals and rewards are chain-aware.

Phased Distribution Plan

Q1 2026 – Early Airdrops

  • Regions: Crawford Bay, Kaslo, Nelson, Victoria, Boulder, Asheville, and other gardening-centered communities
  • 750K FOAF allocated for users who:
  • Sign up through trusted contacts or verified groups
  • List produce with local pricing
  • Share onboarding content or complete their first trade

Q2 2026 – Alpha Launch Campaign

  • Expanded airdrops tied to native app rollout and real trade activity
  • 1.25M FOAF distributed based on:
  • Completing trades and credit cycles
  • Referring new users into trust chains
  • Participation in onboarding or feedback loops

Q4 2026 – FOAF Marketplace Testing

  • 500K–750K FOAF for testing new verticals (services, tools), submitting bugs, and DAO governance pilots

2027 – DAO-Led Expansion

  • Further airdrops determined by on-chain proposals and treasury approval
  • Focus: new node launches, rural network growth, long-term contributors

Example Airdrop Flow

  • Task: A gardener in Boulder lists “Zucchini, $2 USD/lb” and completes a trade
  • Reward: 50 FOAF, stakable for RHEO generation or DAO voting
  • Outcome: That user becomes a trusted source of liquidity and expands the network

Why Airdrops Matter

  • Incentivized Growth: Gardeners earn tokens for contributing abundance
  • Trust Chain Expansion: FOAF creates credit pathways even for users without tokens
  • No Barriers: Participation is free — tokens are earned, not bought
  • Sustainable: Funded by the DAO treasury and reinforced by circulating RHEO fees
