In order to decentralize ownership and governance of the network, over 500 other funds, node operators, and angel investors have been brought in amongst these prominent names to help strategically distribute the token supply. Increasing distribution of their token is critical to the long-term success of Supra’s decentralized network.&nbsp;   
Furthermore, Supra has recently announced a major gamified learn-to-earn airdrop opportunity for community members to further distribute $SUPRA to a wide range of stakeholders. Users can check out their&nbsp;<a href="https://supraoracles.com/blastoff" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Countdown to Blast Off</a>&nbsp;campaign to join other Supra cadets and learn more. Through their gamified learn-to-earn program, Supra is projected to have over 500,000 KYC’d token holders during their Token Generation Event, which is set to occur in early 2024.&nbsp;   
Moving forward   
<a href="https://twitter.com/JoshuaTobkin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Joshua Tobkin</a>, CEO and Co-Founder of Supra, said he’s excited to bring Supra to market and give DeFi developers and end consumer a provably fair, high-performance oracle service.   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">  
 “We’re very pleased to have achieved the support of some of the biggest names in the blockchain industry,” he stated.&nbsp;  
</blockquote>   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">  
 “Building our network of strategic partnerships is extremely important to our future growth. These partnerships will go a long way towards developing the momentum necessary to bring a much needed security upgrade to the oracle space to further protect DeFi.”  
</blockquote>   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">  
 “Too many people have already been negatively impacted by decentralized finance hacks or exploits, and too much money has been lost. We see our cryptography driven solutions as a way to take speed and security guarantees to the next level, which ensures a higher level of protection for end consumers. We need to level the playing-field and we can’t do that until we secure oracles and bridges, which have been the weakest link in Web3. This is an absolute necessity in order for blockchain to achieve its full potential.”&nbsp;

Republic   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">  
 Alex Ye of Republic Advisory said:&nbsp;“The crypto industry had not committed to solving the oracle problem until Supra played the patient game and did their research on L1 consensus for oracles. While others might have come first to market, they all end up delaying the inevitable that Supra now fulfills. Oracles are both the key to cross-chain infrastructure, whether that comes from on-chain or off-chain data. Supra is the key that unlocks the real potential of cross-chain liquidity, multi-chain web3 applications, and more. I fully expect Supra to be the brand name internet infrastructure among traditional financial institutions and Web3 developers as synonymous as AWS, IBM, and Google in the Web2 world.”  
</blockquote>   
Hashed   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">  
 A spokesperson for Hashed said:&nbsp;“Oracles are currently the single most utilized vector for exploits, and it’s crucial for the industry as a whole to experiment with different trade-offs to improve this crucial infrastructure. We’re excited to be a part of Supra’s journey as their approach to advancing speed and security with sophisticated randomness will be a great addition to the collective intelligence of Web3. Supra has the potential to open up use cases that were implausible before by redefining liveliness of oracle feeds, and we will be dedicated to exploring new boundaries with the team.”
