Hello everyone,
A lot has happened throughout 2025, and it’s clear that DIA is becoming stronger, more resilient, and increasingly respected across the Web3 ecosystem. With the successful launch of Lumina and the shift toward a fully trustless, transparent oracle architecture, DIA is entering a new stage of maturity, one that requires stability, focus, and long-term strategic execution.
After reviewing the 2026 treasury proposal, the community i represent is fully aligned with the DIA core team’s position and direction. We support the decision not to introduce any airdrop at this stage.
The rationale is clear:
• DIA is prioritizing adoption, decentralization, and infrastructure scaling rather than short-term incentives.
• Staking has only recently been introduced, and its long-term benefits must be allowed to develop organically.
• Voting participation in 2025 was low, making this an unsuitable moment for any distribution model tied to governance activity.
• The treasury allocation for 2026 is designed to accelerate growth, expand integrations, attract top talent, and strengthen the Lumina ecosystem, not to dilute the token supply through an airdrop.
For these reasons, I and the community behind do not support an airdrop at this moment. Instead, we believe the most sustainable and meaningful approach is to allow DIA’s foundations to solidify through staking, network participation, and consistent governance engagement.
If conditions evolve as expected and the ecosystem grows throughout 2026, we anticipate presenting a large, well-structured, staking-and-voting-based airdrop proposal around Q3 2026 , one that rewards true long-term contributors, strengthens decentralization, and echoes across the broader crypto community.
Until then, we encourage everyone to:
• stake their DIA,
• participate actively in governance,
• and support the continued decentralization of the network.
But, if other users or the broader community feel differently, then a dedicated vote to decide whether an airdrop is desired or not would be the most transparent and fair way forward.
Historical context of latest airdrops:
2022 – Vote-Weighted Airdrop
• Distributed 91,500 DIA to DAO voters based on voting power and holdings.
• Result: whales captured over 50% of the airdrop, leaving smaller participants with minimal rewards.
• Lesson: weighted voting can recognize contribution but can disproportionately favor large holders.
2023–2024 – Equal-Share Model
• Distributed 91,500 DIA equally among all voters from prior years.
• Result: fairer for small holders, practically got a bonus from 2022, but less than 50% of allocated tokens were claimed;
• Now we see that a door is open to sybil wallets and low-effort participation. Thank for your research @AFFKKT .
• Lesson: equal-share distribution improves fairness but needs anti-abuse measures and better engagement criteria.
Observations
• Voting alone is not sufficient to measure meaningful contribution.
• On-chain staking (e.g., LaserNet) now provides an effective metric of commitment + additional bonus if voting. Agree with @Hypolithe
2025 Proposal Analysis from @decent_freedom
• Proposed 274,500 DIA is more than triple previous allocations, which is excessive given low engagement.
• Risks: sybil wallets, exemple given by @AFFKKT , low-effort claiming, disproportionate rewards.
• Historical claim rates show that smaller allocations (~95k DIA) have been sufficient; most unclaimed tokens went to burn.
Conclusion: 274,500 DIA is disproportionate and unjustified for 2025.
Strategic Focus :
• Prioritize development, staking, and community strengthening in 2025-2026
• Prepare for a larger, meaningful airdrop proposal in 2026
What we recommend for later proposals.
Total Allocation: 100,000+ DIA
Base Allocation represent 70,000+ DIA
Bonus Allocation, 30,000+ DIA
Eligibility:
• Only participants who have staked DIA are eligible.
• Minimum stake: 300 DIA.
• Tokens must be staked for at least 3 months.
• Snapshot voting alone is not sufficient, participants must also have staked DIA.
Base Allocation (Staking-Based)
• Calculation:
• Base Allocation per participant = 70,000 DIA / Total eligible participants
• Long-Term Staking Bonus:
o For each month staked beyond 3 months, participant receives +10% per month:
• Base Allocation with Staking Bonus = Base Allocation * (1 + 10% * MonthsBeyond3)
o Example: Staked 5 months → +20% bonus.
Vote-Based Extra Bonus
• Eligibility: Only participants who also voted on Snapshot proposals in 2025-2026.
• Calculation:
• Vote Bonus = (Base Allocation + Staking Bonus) * (5% * Number of votes in 2025-2026)
• Notes:
o Each vote adds 5% to the participant’s total claim.
o Voting alone without staking does not grant any airdrop.
Total Claim
Total Claim = Base Allocation + Staking Bonus + Vote-Based Extra Bonus
Scenario:
Total Base Allocation: 70,000 DIA
Assume 500 eligible participants
• User staked 1,000 DIA for 6 months (minimum 300 DIA → eligible 
)
• Staking Bonus: +10% per month beyond 3 months → 6 - 3 = 3 months → +30%
• User voted 3 times on Snapshot in 2025-2026 → 5% extra per vote
TOTAL CLAIMABLE : 209 DIA
User benefits both from airdrop incentives (staking + voting) and staking APY, making staking highly rewarding.
Summary:
• Rewards genuine, long-term commitment via staking.
• Incentivizes both staking and active governance participation.
• Prevents sybil abuse and excludes participants who only vote without staking.
• Keeps distribution fair and aligned with DIA’s growth strategy.
Once again, If other users or the broader community feel differently, then a dedicated vote to decide whether an airdrop is desired or not would be the most transparent and fair way forward.
Thank you all for your continued support and participation. DIA keeps growing stronger because of this community, and together we can make 2026 a defining year.
My best regards to everyone,
Alex
