Based on the type of tokens one had on the Terra Classic chain, quantity of tokens and durations for which the tokens were held, one can receive the quantity of LUNA. Eligibility criteria for the LUNA airdrop at the Pre-Attack snapshot is- LUNA and less than 500k aUST. At the Post-Attack snapshot, the eligibility is- LUNA and UST.
Distribution and vesting of airdropped LUNA is based on the token type and quantity of the wallet besides the snapshot it exists in.
At Genesis, 30% of the LUNA airdrop will be available instantly to Pre-Attack users who have either less than 10k LUNA in their wallets or UST in Anchor. Post-Attack users must have any quantity of either LUNA or UST or both.
Airdropped, vesting LUNA will be staked to Terra validators to protect network security. Staking awards on vesting LUNA can be earned right from the staking point. These rewards can be claimed at any point.
Until at least 6 months, after the LUNA unlock at Genesis, users won’t get additional vesting LUNA. Users looking forward to liquid LUNA when their cliff hits will have to undelegate their staked, vested LUNA at least 21 days before the first day of their cliff.
