NAT airdrop — waves & numbers
Seller pool unchanged (self + ~100 buyers on full tier). Transition testnet → mainnet uses 100 limited + +50 first real, then default zero.
Three waves
| Wave | Who | Small | Large | XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A · Limited 1–100 | First 100 paid + activated stands (gold / limited) | 50 | 100 | 200 NAT |
| B · First real +50 | Mainnet slots 101–150 (first 50 after limited) | 25 | 50 | 100 NAT |
| C · After 150 | Default | 0 airdrop on rent | ||
Wave A = full seller pool (~100 × 0.5 fee on Small). Wave B = half (still real mainnet builders, not free lunch). Wave C = no automatic airdrop.
Merit path (outside A/B or after 150)
If a producer was active on testnet (stand activated + ≥ 5 confirmed sales) and on mainnet is not in 1–150 when they rent, they may get one merit credit:
| Package | Merit airdrop (once) |
|---|---|
| Small | 25 NAT |
| Large | 50 NAT |
| XL | 100 NAT |
Same as Wave B amounts. Empty test stands or < 5 confirmed sales → no merit. Verified once per producer (paymentId + Pi username).
Pool math (why these numbers)
- Ops fee reference: 0.5 NAT / cart → Small full 50 NAT ≈ 100 buyers + seller buffer.
- Utility rate: 1 Pi = 2 NAT → 0.5 NAT ops ≈ 0.25 Pi equivalent (from seller pool, not buyer product line).
- 100 limited × full tier = launch seller liquidity.
- +50 first real × half tier = bridge for early mainnet without opening unlimited airdrop.
- After that: sustainability → 0, merit only for proven testnet work.
When credited
- Stand paid + activated.
- Slot determines wave A / B / C.
- If C, check testnet merit (≥5 confirmed) → optional once.
- Testnet phase: log/credit only. Mainnet: N-pool / treasury under same table.
