We recently revealed how many $BLUM tokens each of you will receive — and naturally, we’ve seen a wave of questions. To help clarify things, Blum CEO Gleb Kostarev personally answered the most common questions in a detailed thread.
Read Gleb’s original thread on X
1. I checked in for 300 days and only got 30 $BLUM. Is that fair?
Totally valid question. But here’s the context: Over 1.3 million users qualified for the drop. You weren’t alone — hundreds of thousands did the exact same check-ins and quests.
All eligible users were placed into 8 tiers, based on a mix of factors: BPs & MPs, check-ins, gaming activity, referred friends, friends’ engagement, and more.
So even if you were active, your reward depended on how your contribution compared to everyone else.
2. I had more points than my friend, but we got the same reward?
Yes — and here’s why: Users were grouped into tiers, and everyone in the same tier received the same drop amount. You and your friend may have taken different paths — but if your overall contributions landed you in the same tier, the reward was equal. This ensures fairness across a massive user base.
3. Why is there vesting? Just give us all the tokens now!
We hear this a lot — but vesting is intentional. We’re not here to reward short-term airdrop hunters. We want to reward those who are actually part of the journey.
Vesting encourages long-term alignment between the project and the community. If everyone dumps on day one, no one wins.
4. I paid massive trading fees. Why was my airdrop still small?
We get the frustration. But the airdrop was never meant to reimburse your fees. It’s a thank-you for being an early, active participant.
The $BLUM token is designed to bring real utility: trading discounts, advanced tools, and future perks.Just like most exchange or trading bot tokens, it’s based on a simple principle: you get rewarded for doing what you were already doing — trading assets you believe in.
5. Why didn’t you launch the token a year ago?
Because from day one, we were clear: We’re not a tap-to-earn app. We’re not a memecoin.
We’re building on-chain trading products. The game was just phase one — a fun and engaging entry point. But our long-term vision was always deeper, more meaningful, and trader-focused.
6. Has Blum actually given users real value?
Let’s also not forget: Blum has been one of the most rewarding Telegram-native projects to date. In total, we’ve distributed over $7 million in value to users — through airdrops like DOGS, X, Memefi, SOON, and more.
Final thoughts
Thanks to everyone who stuck with us. The journey hasn’t been easy, and we’ve had to make some tough calls. But we kept building. And now, we’re stronger than ever.
Welcome to the next chapter of Blum.
