"why didn't i get the airdrop?" yes ser, read on. 

1939 people were rewarded from a pool of 2B $noice (~$111,000) with minimum allocation of 152,472 $noice (to) maximum 30,655,282 $noice.

we optimised to reward:

(1) great content creators [ie, diverse FIDs interacting with your cast] 

(2) great content curators [ie, tipping diverse set of content creators]

we worked with @geoffgolberg from socialforensics.com / @openrank /  @ruminations from @quotient over a month to decide the right criteria(s), ineligibilities, allocations etc who led great deal of the heavy lifting for the airdrop. 

60% went to TIPPERS of great content on farcaster

25% went to CREATORS on farcaster who got tipped by a diverse range of FIDs

15% went to diamond hand $noice holders

we took strict measures against spam and coordinated inauthentic behaviour, more broadly.

one line answer to qualify for future airdrops: 

tip via noiceapp + post good content that deserves tips from others. 

that's it.

Weekly rewards are meant to support creators who spend their time and energy creating engaging content on Farcaster. 

We've seen some accounts try to trick the algo by coordinating engagement, and redirect rewards towards low effort or uninteresting content. We're making changes to fix this. 

1. The algo will reward diverse weekly engagement. If you get two likes from different people, they'll give you more points than two likes from the same person.

2. The algo may reduce or eliminate points from some accounts based on heuristics (engaging with spammy accounts, only with a particular account, in time patterns that suggest coordination etc) 

These changes will roll out on Tuesday. For more details on how rewards work, see the page below.

that said, diversity of engagement was incredibly critical. 

you need to tip (or) get tipped by a diverse range of FIDs to qualify as 'valuable' in our eyes, in tandem with farcaster's recent update on how they think of farcaster creator rewards

please tag @noiceapp in your farcaster cast for any queries / discrepancies and we will do our best to get back.

this was us utilising 2B out of the 20B allocated to airdrops -- first of many. 

the intention is to reward users of noiceapp! 

wrt to roadmap

> the coinbase wallet app (getting us millions of new FIDs)
> integrating solana tokens (getting us millions of highly liquid tokens)
> expanding beyond farcaster
