Your On-Chain Identity is Your Airdrop Edge
In a Web3 landscape filled with bots and anonymous wallets, proving you're a unique human is becoming a superpower. Holonym, a privacy-preserving identity protocol on Optimism, lets you do just that. By becoming an early, verified user, you can position yourself for a potential airdrop of their future HOLON token.
What is Holonym?
Holonym leverages Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology to help you prove personal attributes—like your phone number or nationality—without revealing the underlying data. This process allows you to mint Soulbound Tokens (SBTs), which act as on-chain credentials. These credentials can unlock access and prove your "humanness" to other applications in the ecosystem.
How to Qualify for the Holonym Airdrop
Qualification for the potential Holonym airdrop centers on one primary action: using the protocol to mint an on-chain identity. The more you verify and utilize this identity, the stronger your airdrop eligibility may become.
The core steps involve:
- Minting a "Zeronym" SBT via phone verification.
- Minting a "Passport" SBT via government ID verification for a potentially higher allocation.
- Using your Holonym credentials with integrated partner apps on Optimism.
Step-by-Step Airdrop Guide
- Connect Your Wallet: Navigate to the official Holonym dApp and connect your wallet. Ensure you are on the Optimism network.
- Mint Your Zeronym SBT: This is the essential first step. Follow the prompts to complete the phone verification. Once successful, you will mint a "Zeronym" SBT, marking your wallet as an early, verified user.
- Mint Your Passport SBT (Optional): For users comfortable with a higher level of verification, minting a Passport SBT using a government ID is a significant step. This action demonstrates a stronger commitment and is likely to be weighted more heavily.
- Increase Your On-Chain Activity: An on-chain identity is meant to be used. Keep an eye out for partner applications within the Optimism ecosystem that use Holonym for Sybil resistance or unique logins. Every interaction builds your reputation.
Airdrop Strategy & Tips
- The Early Mover Advantage: Many users are hesitant about identity verification. By completing the process now, even just the phone verification, you distinguish your wallet and may secure a better position.
- Optimism Ecosystem Synergy: Holonym is a key project on Optimism and has received grants from its foundation. General activity and engagement within the broader Optimism network could be a complementary factor.
- Privacy First: While Holonym is built on privacy-preserving ZK proofs, always participate at a level you are comfortable with. The choice between phone and ID verification is entirely up to you.
