Back to collectionA Person's Health Changes the Airdrop Schedule
On the first day after the holiday, the community was expecting the first season of the airdrop on December 27. A short official notice postponed the $XAI airdrop until the following week, with the exact date still being confirmed, and repeated that the node snapshot had not yet been taken. The once firm date had become an unconfirmed day the following week, and key holders still could not treat their eligibility as settled.

On the first day after the holiday, the community was expecting the first season of the airdrop on December 27. The Odyssey badge snapshot had been taken, while the Sentry Key snapshot had not. So close to the promised date, any change in the schedule would be felt directly by those waiting.
A short official notice postponed the $XAI airdrop until the following week, with the exact date still being confirmed, and repeated that the node snapshot had not yet been taken. It gave one reason: a key team member had developed a serious health problem. There was no further explanation, only thanks for people's understanding and a request to wait. Some in the chat were angry; more fell silent. What the narrator recorded was not a comforting phrase but the fact that one person's health could halt the distribution schedule. That evening, Camelot announced plans to deploy on Xai, adding an outward-looking development to the day.
The once firm date had become an unconfirmed day the following week, and key holders still could not treat their eligibility as settled. The narrator thought of the community's familiar talk of decentralization and “code is law”: the delay made the team's dependence on people concrete. Camelot's deployment announcement offered the prospect of a partnership, but it answered none of the questions about the team member's health, the node snapshot, or the new distribution date. Each remained open.
