<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-evernode-airdrop-background"><strong>Evernode Airdrop Background</strong></h2>
<p>Evernode initiated the airdrop process by taking a snapshot on September 1, identifying eligible XRP holders. In November, the platform disclosed the details of the airdrop registration, marking the first step toward claiming the airdrop.</p>
<p>Users were required to import or clone their XRPL r-address into Xahau and set a trustline for the Evers issuing address. However, scammers are now exploiting this information to defraud users by posing as fake “Evernode support” on different platforms.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-cofounder-s-warning-against-scams"><strong>Cofounder’s Warning Against Scams</strong></h2>
<p>Scott Chamberlain, the cofounder of Evernode, has actively called out scams claiming to be “Evernode support” on various platforms, emphasizing that there is no official “Evernode customer support” on X.</p>
<p>Chamberlain highlighted the risk of scammers attempting to steal tokens through fake airdrop support and fraudulent trust lines. Evernode has consistently emphasized that claiming the Evers airdrop does not involve burning or moving XRP.</p>
<p>To safeguard themselves, users are advised to be cautious of anyone posing as “Help Desk,” “Customer Support,” or “Dev Team” claiming to be associated with Evernode. Evernode has clarified that legitimate processes will not involve moving XRP, sharing keys, joining Telegram or Discord, or sending direct messages for details. Any such requests may indicate a scam attempt.</p>
