OpenEden Launches EDEN Token Airdrop Claim Page: What to Know About Distribution and Rewards

OpenEden, the leading real-world asset (RWA) protocol, officially unveiled its claim page for the EDEN utility token airdrop on September 29. This announcement marks a key milestone for participants eager to confirm their token allocations. The airdrop claim process will commence on September 30 at 7:30 PM (KST), accompanied by measures that balance short-term accessibility with long-term incentivization through the innovative "EDEN HODLers Bonus Mechanism" (EHBM).

Eligible Participants and Airdrop Allocation

The EDEN token airdrop targets users who engaged in OpenEden's "Bills Campaign," earning over 10,000 Bills Points during the event period. These points were calculated based on user contributions to the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem at a rate of one point per dollar contributed.

A total of 7.5% of the EDEN token supply has been reserved for eligible participants, alongside an additional 0.25% allocated to the "Community Rewards Pool." The exact allocation of EDEN tokens will depend on each user’s percentage share of the collective Bills Points pool, ensuring fair distribution based on individual contributions.

EDEN HODLers Bonus Mechanism: Incentives for Long-Term Retention

OpenEden has introduced the EDEN HODLers Bonus Mechanism (EHBM) to encourage long-term token holding while reducing the pressure for immediate sell-offs. This mechanism operates within a 120-day "Holding Window," dividing each participant’s allocation into two distinct components:

1. Starting Portion

The Starting Portion ranges from 20% to 100% of the total allocation, determined by the quantity of Bills Points held by the user. These EDEN tokens can be claimed immediately, functioning as utility tokens without restriction or penalties.

2. Remaining Portion

The Remaining Portion will be distributed as governance tokens, referred to as xEDEN. However, users opting to claim xEDEN tokens early—prior to completing the 120-day holding period—will face penalties, forfeiting a portion of their Remaining Portion. The earlier the claim, the higher the penalty incurred, incentivizing participants to hold onto their tokens.

Tokens forfeited during early claims will flow into the Community Rewards Pool, which also includes a starting allocation of 2.5 million xEDEN tokens provided by OpenEden. Community members who hold their Remaining Portion throughout the full 120-day period can earn additional rewards from this pool, proportional to their allocation size.

This carefully structured mechanism compels users to balance the appeal of immediate liquidity with the potential advantages of long-term strategic holding.

Important Dates and Guidelines for Token Claims

The process for claiming EDEN tokens opens on September 30 at 7:30 PM (KST) and will remain active until January 28, 2026—concluding the 120-day holding window. Participants are advised to connect their cryptocurrency wallets to OpenEden's official claim portal to verify their allocations and proceed with the claim.

Critically, unclaimed tokens following a 30-day grace period after January 28, 2026, will automatically revert to OpenEden’s Ecosystem and Community Fund. OpenEden strongly warns users to access the claim portal only through official channels to avoid phishing scams and other fraudulent activities related to unauthorized links.

Utility vs. Governance Tokens: Understanding EDEN and xEDEN

EDEN tokens serve as the foundation for ecosystem participation and utility within the OpenEden protocol. Designed for use in fee discounts, incentives, and governance-related activities, these tokens empower users to actively engage in the platform’s development.

Meanwhile, xEDEN tokens represent governance rights within OpenEden, granting holders the ability to influence significant protocol decisions via staking mechanisms. This dual-token framework highlights OpenEden's strategic approach to fostering both immediate token usability and sustainable ecosystem growth.

The Broader Impact of OpenEden’s Airdrop

OpenEden’s innovative approach to token distribution exemplifies its commitment to aligning community incentives with long-term growth goals. By rewarding strategic thinking and promoting token retention, the EDEN HODLers Bonus Mechanism underscores the platform’s dedication to balancing immediate liquidity with the broader development of decentralized finance.

For participants, the EDEN token airdrop offers more than just a chance to claim tokens—it represents an opportunity to engage thoughtfully with OpenEden's evolving ecosystem while benefiting from both short- and long-term rewards.
