Keeping Discord Open on Christmas Eve

Discord still had people on duty on Christmas Eve. Half watched on-chain monitoring, while the others answered airdrop questions. Discord stayed open, but being on duty no longer had to mean that everyone watched every message.

Discord still had people on duty on Christmas Eve. The airdrop date was known, but the key snapshot was unfinished. Node maintenance and eligibility questions were competing for the same holiday hours, making it hard for those on duty to step away from their screens.

Half watched on-chain monitoring, while the others answered airdrop questions. One person wanted to reply to every inquiry individually; another pointed out that repeating the question about the snapshot would not make it happen sooner. They clarified which monitoring alerts needed immediate attention, then grouped similar eligibility questions into shared answers, leaving each other brief chances to step away.

Discord stayed open, but being on duty no longer had to mean that everyone watched every message. This small holiday adjustment showed the team which questions could be answered together and which alerts needed a person ready to respond. The official word on the key snapshot and distribution was still pending, and the next shift needed to know which questions remained.
