The rollout begins this week.
The upcoming Edel Airdrop is the first access point into Edel’s Canton phase.
Instead of a passive claim, this rollout is designed to bring eligible users into Runway, Edel’s first activation layer on Canton.
The rollout begins with EDELx.
EDELx is the Canton-native utility asset for Edel’s Canton environment. It gives eligible users access to Runway, where they can participate in equity-based activities, help signal future markets, and take part in Edel’s Featured App activity.
EDELx is not a replacement for EDEL.
It is the Canton access layer before the bridge.
While LayerZero finalizes the EDEL bridge to Canton, EDELx allows eligible users to start participating in Edel’s Canton ecosystem before the full bridge infrastructure is live.
At launch, EDELx is intended for use inside Edel’s Canton environment and will not be open-market transferable.
Once the bridge infrastructure is live, we plan to enable 1:1 conversion from EDELx into EDEL at a later date.
Runway is not the full Edel Markets launch.
In the coming days, we will begin sharing the roadmap for what comes after it: Edel Markets.
Users onboarded through Runway will be first in line for future access to Edel Markets and the earning opportunities connected to the next phase of Edel on Canton.
Runway gives EDELx its first utility on Canton and connects eligible users to future $CC reward opportunities through Edel’s Featured App activity.
The rollout will happen progressively, starting with the highest-ranked eligible users on the leaderboard.
We expect to onboard around 2,500 users per week.
Andres will release a walkthrough video explaining the process clearly, and eligible users will receive the next steps for Canton onboarding, Runway access, and claiming by email.
The goal is simple:
Reward early users.
Bring the community into Canton.
Give EDELx utility from day one.
Open the runway toward Edel Markets.
