Bless Network has begun accepting appeals from users who were wrongfully excluded from the airdrop. On January 10th, the company announced via its official X (formerly Twitter) account that it received reports of users with high testnet participation being excluded from the airdrop, and pledged to rectify the situation.

Background of the Appeal Process

Bless stated, "It's been reported that some users with high testnet participation have been wrongfully excluded from the airdrop. We want to make things right. If you've been active on our testnet and feel you should have been included, fill in your details here."

This suggests that during the TIME token airdrop eligibility verification process, legitimate participants may have been misidentified as bots and excluded. Bless had previously acknowledged that some genuine users could be excluded while blocking sybil attacks.

Application Method and Review Criteria

Appeals are being accepted through a Google Form provided by Bless, where users must submit the following information:

• Email address

• Twitter handle

• Discord handle

• Solana wallet address

Bless will re-evaluate actual testnet contributions based on the submitted information. Cases that were incorrectly classified as similar to farming bots are expected to be prioritized for review.

Future Outlook

This appeal process is interpreted as a measure to restore community trust ahead of the BLESS token launch. Bless plans to review records of legitimate users who were deemed ineligible in Season 0.

As a DePIN project like Bless Network operates on a structure where participants provide actual hardware resources (CPU, GPU, bandwidth), objective indicators exist to distinguish between bots and real contributors. Therefore, if reviews are conducted based on quantitative data such as node operating time and resource provision amounts, wrongfully excluded participants can be effectively remedied.
