Has anyone done a community airdrop with a lockup? If not, why is that?

Seems like it would solve a lot of problems. Even professional long term investors can’t keep their finger off the trigger w/o a lockup mechanism. Can’t expect airdrop recipients. 

Can combine immediately liquidity with a linear vest (eg every block to avoid cliffs impacting market price)

Most teams opt for manufacturing a similar outcome by doing a bunch of airdrops over time. Doesn’t seem like it’s working well enough to not try something different.

Also can explore lockups on the top X% of recipients, moreso targeting farmers who will insta-dump in size

Ethena $ENA had vesting for top farmers. 50% was unlocked and the rest vested over 6 months with new unlocks weekly. 

it curbed the major dumping but also it was changed a few times and the locked tokens weren’t known till the TGE. it was a bait and switch they def didn’t tell anyone about lockups for the campaign

Yeah def need to communicate more clearly than that and not move the goal post. Also think 6mo is not nearly long term enough
