<p class="is-style-lead">Kamino Finance is the latest Solana and defi project to unveil a token distribution plan based on a points system, a growing trend among cryptocurrency protocols.</p>
<p>Solana-based defi lender Kamino Finance will conduct its on-chain snapshot on March 31 ahead of a crypto airdrop for eligible early supports expected in April. At launch, 10% of Kamino’s 10 billion total supply will enter circulation.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Furthermore, its season one plan <a href="https://x.com/KaminoFinance/status/1765750290332954956?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">earmarked</a> 7% of the total supply for Kamino’s Genesis community distribution. The token-sharing mechanism is linear, based on points users have accumulated over time. This means a user is entitled to 1% of the airdrop allocation if they own 1% of all points generated.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://crypto.news/kamino-finance-a-solana-based-defi-platform-offering-real-yields-to-users/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kamino Finance</a> users espoused disappointment with the early announcement despite efforts from the protocol to dampen airdrop farmers.
