Most credible programs reserve a “retroactive” allocation for early builders, testers, and liquidity providers because they bore adoption risk. Common heuristics include first-month interactions, testnet participation, bug bounties, seed LPs, and early governance voters. Snapshots often predate hype phases to reduce last-minute farming, and weightings favor sustained, meaningful usage (fees paid, volume, TVL) over one-click actions. Some teams use non-transferable badges or attestations earned earlier to gate allocations. While later users can still qualify through breadth and depth of activity, the richest multipliers typically accrue to early, sticky participation. This design bootstraps ecosystems, signals fairness, and encourages long-horizon involvement—key to decentralization and resilience.
