In addition, the Spark Token (FLR) distribution will include a whale cap for addresses holding over 1 Billion XRP at the time of the snapshot. Any Spark Tokens (FLR) that could have been claimed with any additional XRP for this category of hodlers, will be put into the incentive pool for minting FXRP.
Initial 15% of the 45 Billion to be Distributed, the Remaining Over 25 – 34 Months
With respect to the airdrop schedule, the team at Flare Networks explained the distribution as follows.
At network launch, each account that has claimed Spark will receive 15% of the total Spark for which they are eligible.
This is 15% of the Spark claimable term in the equation above. The remaining Spark claimable will be distributed over a minimum of 25 months and a maximum of 34 months.
Flare Networks Expected to Launch Around the End of June, +/- 2 – 4 Weeks
In an April 17th tweet that can be found below, the team at Flare Networks explained that the mainnet will go live around the end of this month, give or take 2 to 4 weeks.
The $FLR distribution will start when the Flare Network goes live. The team is working to make this happen SAFELY as soon as possible. It is dependent on finishing security testing. We expect this at the end of June +/- 2-4 weeks.
