It’s important to note that there is no need to connect an external wallet to receive or participate in the airdrop—your AUDIO will automatically appear in your Audius account.
As mentioned in our kick-off blog post, this airdrop is part of a broader rewards system upgrade designed to make Audius the best place for artists to grow, earn, and connect. Here’s how the airdrop reward works:
The scoring methodology for the airdrop is based on a fair and transparent formula that takes into account:
The minimum score to be eligible is 0.576, ensuring that all qualifying artists receive at least 500 AUDIO. The maximum score recorded was 32.196.
The full code used to compute eligibility and distribution will be open-sourced simultaneously at the time of the airdrop on Wednesday morning.
This is just the beginning of an exciting new era for Audius rewards. With Season 1 of AUDIO rewards rolling out, artists will have even more opportunities to earn and benefit from their contributions to the platform.
Stay tuned for upcoming campaigns, potential future airdrops, and more ways to get rewarded for doing what you love—sharing music with the world.
