<p>According to a post on <a href="https://docs.arbitrum.foundation/airdrop-eligibility-distribution">Arbitrum&#8217;s Governance Documents, </a>snapshots for the $ARB token were taken on the 6th of February, with the airdorp set to occur on the 23rd of March.</p>

<p>Otherwise, eligibility for the airdrop was broken down into two periods &#8211; <a href="https://chaindebrief.com/aribtrum-nitro-announced-for-august/">pre and post Arbitrum Nitro.</a></p>

<p>By performing certain actions on the Arbitrum Network, users were awarded points, with a bias toward early adopters. For example, if users had bridged funds, conducted transactions on two distinct months, and interacted with four different smart contracts, and conducted $10,000 in transactions, they would be eligible for four points</p>

<p>These points then translate to their respective airdrop entitlement (i.e. 4 points = 1,700 $ARB tokens)</p>

<p>$ARB is set to go live with a maximum supply of 10 billion tokens, with a capped inflation rate of 2% annually.</p>



<p>According to their site, 11.62% of this, or 1.16 billion tokens, have been set aside for airdrops to reward Arbitrum users.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="805" height="327" src="https://chaindebrief.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-81.png" alt="" class="wp-image-37050" srcset="https://chaindebrief.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-81.png 805w, https://chaindebrief.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-81-300x122.png 300w, https://chaindebrief.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-81-768x312.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Courtesy: Arbitrum</figcaption></figure>



<p>As Arbitrum is shifting toward a DAO governance format, a large part of the $ARB token allocation &#8211; 42.78%, will set aside for the DAO Treasury. The remaining allocation will be split between the team, investors, and protocols building on Arbitrum.</p>



<p>In comparison,<a href="https://chaindebrief.com/is-ethereum-set-for-the-next-chapter-claim-your-optimism-airdrop-now/"> fellow Layer 2 Optimism</a> distributed 5% of their total supply, or 200 million $OP tokens during their first airdrop. While more airdrops have since been conducted by Optimism, their native token is still valued at $2.4 with approximately a $760,000,000 market capitalization.</p>



<p>Should Arbitrum achieve the same valuation as Optimism, this could translate to each $ARB token being worth $0.105.</p>
