Badges Arrive as Stolen-Wallet Holders Seek Another Claim Address

Distribution for the second phase of Vanguard Genesis was drawing to a close, and participants wanted to see how leaderboard results would appear in their wallets. The commemorative badges were fully distributed in five tiers, using leaderboard boundaries at the top 5%, 15%, 30%, and 50%. The badges turned the second phase's rankings into visible records, while making control of the receiving address more urgent.

Distribution for the second phase of Vanguard Genesis was drawing to a close, and participants wanted to see how leaderboard results would appear in their wallets. Meanwhile, several holders whose wallets had been stolen feared that the approaching airdrop season would still use addresses they no longer controlled.

The commemorative badges were fully distributed in five tiers, using leaderboard boundaries at the top 5%, 15%, 30%, and 50%. They were bound to wallets, could not be transferred, and were issued directly on the project's mainnet. The affected holders proposed allowing rewards to be claimed through a second wallet so they would not miss the coming airdrops again. On the year's last full trading day, the market seemed asleep.

The badges turned the second phase's rankings into visible records, while making control of the receiving address more urgent. A wallet-bound keepsake and future rewards were separate matters. The proposers planned to explain how someone could prove that a second wallet was theirs; whether the rules would allow that route remained undecided.
