Anzen $ANZ Airdrop

Dear Anzen Community,

We’re excited to announce the final details for the $ANZ airdrop — a distribution designed to reward those who have engaged with our protocol over the past six months. Read more about $ANZ and $veANZ. As we unveil our plans, we want to provide clarity about our decision-making process and the rationale behind the chosen tier structure.

Balancing Early Support With Long-Term Alignment

Our community includes a diverse range of participants—from those who contributed millions in total value locked (TVL) to those who thoughtfully allocated what they could. If we distributed tokens in a linear fashion purely based on contribution size, the largest depositors—many with over $1M in positions—would receive nearly all the tokens. Coming up with a model that satisfies a wide range of users is a challenging problem to solve when some participants added $100 and others over $1 million, but we believe the following approach best honors everyone’s role in supporting our ecosystem.

This is why we’re employing a tiered distribution model, rather than a purely linear one:

• Tier 1: Top 500 wallets receive tokens on a linear scale, with 50% vesting over 6 months.
• Tiers 2–6: Each tier, consisting 2,000 wallets, receives an equal token allocation

By using flat distributions in Tiers 2–6, users in those tiers receive far more than they would under a pure linear model. This ensures that everyone who participated meaningfully, regardless of scale, can become an $ANZ token holder.

We recognize that fairness is a tough balancing act, but we’ve done deep analysis to make this as equitable as possible. The goal of the airdrop is not to make millionaires overnight but to take an important step toward decentralization and acknowledge the breadth of supporters who believed in Anzen’s mission. The greater value lies in the stable, real yield, users have been earning since the beginning and the future growth of the Anzen ecosystem.

Important Note: The tokens circulating at launch will be those from the public sale, which was open to everyone, and from this airdrop distribution—also open to all who contributed. The team and investors have a 6-month cliff. The vast majority of $ANZ tokens will come into circulation over time as ecosystem rewards, ensuring that the token supply and incentives remain focused on long-term growth and alignment.

We’re in This for the Long Haul

At six months old, Anzen is a young protocol. We remain committed to building a stable, sustainable protocol designed to become a blue chip protocol. Our vision is to create a stable, reliable cornerstone for DeFi—backed by real-world yields, composable strategies, and fair incentive structures.

The value, utility, and growth potential of ANZ will unfold over the next months and years as we continue to deliver real yields, encourage stablecoin adoption, and expand our platform’s composability.

Next Steps

We’ll release more information soon on how to claim your tokens. In the meantime, thank you for your continued support, trust, and feedback. Your participation has helped shape Anzen’s path, and we’re honored to have you with us as we build the future of stable, sustainable DeFi.
