Berachain’s airdrop allocation controversy shook its community, stemming from accusations of unfair distribution—whales and early insiders received 30% of tokens, while regular users got just 5%. The governance mechanism’s lack of transparency fueled outrage: no public audit of allocation criteria and delayed responses to community queries. The impact was significant: 20% of Discord members left, and social media sentiment turned negative. To recover, Berachain revised its governance to include community-led allocation audits and increased airdrop shares for small users. The controversy highlights the importance of fairness—projects with opaque, whale-friendly tokenomics risk losing trust, which is harder to regain than any short-term liquidity boost.
