Human Passport positions itself as a "Real User Protection" solution.

It explicitly protects airdrops, governance, AI systems, and gaming rewards.

The project aims to reduce sybil attacks and abuse by providing real-user verification, improving fairness in token distributions and governance participation while avoiding unnecessary exposure of private user data.

Aztec community organizers have launched a vote and public proposal asking the team to convert part of the community allocation into long-term grants for verified contributors, node operators, and testnet participants.

The proposed conservative distribution model includes:

Developers remain funded.

Community, operators, and testnet participants receive long-term rewards (not an immediate airdrop but structured grants for confirmed contributors).

A small portion — about 0.37% — would unlock after a 1‑month cliff, and approximately 2% would fully vest over 12 months.

Organizers reference prior actions (validator setup, role farming in Discord) and published a detailed allocation document. They also promoted a supporting tweet to gather backing. The proposal aims to give the Aztec team community-backed rationale to reconsider distributions after the TGE.

Aztec Foundation published a reference governance payload for the TGE.

The foundation cannot trigger TGE unilaterally; it requires governance approval with at least 2/3 yes and ≥100M AZTEC voting power.

If approved, allocations and balances remain unchanged; only transfer restrictions lift, making tokens transferable upon payload execution. Public‑sale participants will be able to claim/withdraw.

Earliest possible execution time: February 11, 2026, 14:00 UTC.

ETH Gas published tokenomics and governance details for GWEI.

Total supply: 1,000,000,000 GWEI. Allocation: Ecosystem – 31% | Investors – 27% | Team – 22% | Community – 10% | Foundation – 8% | Advisors – 2%.

A TGE airdrop is planned (amount TBA) and will be automatically staked as veGWEI for 30 days, participating in early boosted staking. After 30 days, tokens unlock for user choice (delegate/extend lock/sell).

The Community allocation (10%) is separate from the TGE airdrop pool (smaller; exact size TBA).

A snapshot for eligibility is set for January 19.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is on-chain governance in crypto?

On-chain governance allows token holders to vote on protocol changes, treasury allocations, parameter adjustments, and project direction using their tokens as voting power. Decisions are executed automatically via smart contracts.

How can I participate in crypto DAO governance?

Hold governance tokens of the protocols you support and vote on proposals before deadlines. SourceChain tracks all governance events — from proposal creation to voting results — so you never miss an important vote.
