This repository contains all code related to the Everipedia IQ airdrop. It's been designed in a way that it should be easy to swap in your own token airdrop for IQ.
The snapshot_generator.py script generates an airdrop snapshot from the EOS genesis snapshot. If you wish to use some other base snapshot than the EOS genesis snapshot, swap out the eos_snapshot.csv file with your custom snapshot.
The script requires Pandas, so install that with:
There are a couple configs you will have to modify before running the script. Open the script, at the top you will see the following:
The default settings are the settings for the IQ airdrop. You will likely have to modify the TOKEN_MULTIPLIER and OUTPUT_FILE at minimum.
The blacklist contains a series of exchange addresses that specifically have not announced support for the Everipedia IQ airdrop. The addresses are contained in blacklist.txt. You can modify that file to use your own blacklist or set USE_BLACKLIST=False.
The whitelist (whitelist.txt) is a separate list that contains a series of exchange addresses that have announced support for the IQ airdrop. The only purpose of the whitelist is to verify that none of the whitelisted addresses are in the blacklist. If there are, the script will throw an error.
Before running the airdrop, you must deploy the eosio.token contract to your account. If it is not you can do so with the following commands. Make sure your wallet is unlocked and you have imported the appropriate keys before deploying the contract.
The airdrop script (airdrop.sh) contains a couple settings that need to be modified.
The SYMBOL is the symbol of the asset that will be used on-chain. A SYMBOL can only be used once per contract, so if you want to re-use a symbol that you have already created, you will have to re-deploy the contract to a different account.
The ISSUER should be the same as the ISSUER account you deployed the contract to.
The SNAPSHOT_FILE should match the OUTPUT_FILE from snapshot_generator.py
To airdrop:
The airdrop will take ~2 hours, so I would recommend using systemd or some other tool to run the airdrop in the background.
Once you have completed the airdrop, you can validate the account balances with the validate_airdrop.sh script. Modify the configs at the top of the script:
The SYMBOL and ISSUER should match the configs from airdrop.sh. The script runs validations in a loop. Each validation consists of selecting a random account and verifying its balance against the snapshot. The script can execute about 50 validations per second. Using more validations than the default is recommended but will be slow.
The airdrop will be based on the June 2nd 21:59:59 UTC EOS Mainnet Snapshot as reported by Everipedia team. Everipedia Inc. (IQ) is a technology company based in California, best known for building the first encyclopedia on the blockchain.
