TrustSwap $MOD Airdrop to Be Held on the Fantom Network, Here’s Why.

6 min readMar 19, 2021

What is Fantom?

Founded in 2018, The Fantom Foundation has built a highly scalable blockchain ecosystem that facilitates decentralized, scalable, and secure technologies.

Fantom is a fast, scalable, and secure layer-1 platform built on an aBFT consensus protocol which is permissionless and leaderless. The speed, low transaction costs, and high throughput make Fantom ideal for DeFi applications and real-world uses.

Many Ethereum protocols are porting over to Fantom to create a seamless cross-chain ecosystem. These include Keep3rV1, Cover, Cream, Frax, Sushiswap, Yearn, and others.

The technology is also used in several government digitization programs in the Middle East.

Andre Cronje is one of the main contributors, advisors and commentators for Fantoms DeFi platform.

Who is eligible to receive the $MOD token airdrop?

The top 1000 SWAP Score stakers during the sale snapshot taken on Feb 10th @ 9am PST will be eligible to receive an equal portion of the airdrop. This will amount to 110 $MOD per wallet. We will also be airdropping 0.05 $FTM to each wallet that receives $MOD. This will allow each user to make 574 trades on Anyswap.

Why is the Modefi Airdrop on the Fantom Network?

$MOD and Anyswap MOD/FTM LP staking will be available on the Fantom network next week.
To to add as much liquidity as possible to the Fantom network to facilitate low fee trading and transactions for our community moving forward.
To promote usage of Fantom’s high throughput, low latency and low cost EVM compatible network.
The significantly reduced cost and lightning fast finality make a 1000+ address airdrop far more viable. (We feel other’s will follow in our footsteps)
By airdropping small quantities of $FTM along with $MOD, we can make the transition for our community relatively painless, while also giving them everything required to migrate their $MOD tokens back to the Ethereum chain if desired.
Modefi will have trading live on the Fantom network prior to the airdrop. This allows our users to immediately ‘test drive’ the Fantom network with minimal friction.
For reference, Fantom transactions are currently a fraction of a cent, while Ethereum fees are routinely reaching $50 USD or more depending on network congestion.
The funds saved by using Fantom vs. Ethereum for the airdrop is being used to purchase $MOD on the market. This $MOD will be used for extra staking rewards on the Fantom network.

What Would Have Been The Cost to do the Airdrop on Ethereum vs Fantom?

If we use our initial distribution as a cost model for the coming airdrop the cost would be as follows:

Sending $MOD tokens to 300 addresses @ 185 gwei = 1.35 eth (~$2457 USD)*
Sending $MOD tokens to 1000 addresses @ 185 gwei = 4.5 eth (~$8213 USD)*

*based on average prices on March 15, 2021

Transaction costs for sending $MOD to 300 wallets

The same distribution breakdown on Fantom is as follows.

Sending $MOD tokens to 1000 addresses = 6.9436 $FTM (~$2.54 USD)*
*based on $FTM price on March 15, 2021

Airdrop transaction fees — Ethereum -$8213 Vs. Fantom -$2.54
