DarkVegas airdrops BLOOD to Spasm users
### Airdrop amount.
In order to expand the DarkVegas community and reward people for boycotting the legacy slave tech in favor or lunarpunk tech, users of the Spasm network have been airdropped with 1,337,404 BLOOD, worth around $250 at the moment of the airdrop. Admins of Spasm instances have received 10x more.
### Eligibility criteria.
Any user who submitted any message to the Spasm network (formally known as DegenRocket network) in 2022, 2023, or 2024, is qualified for the airdrop. Since most messages on the Spasm network are submitted with temporary guest accounts, which are indistinguishable from regular Ethereum addresses, the initial airdrop has only been sent to addresses that either have an onchain mainnet transaction history or have submitted messages to the Spasm network on at least two different days.
Nostr users are also eligible for the airdrop but they have to provide a valid Ethereum address in order to receive the airdrop.
All eligible users who haven't received the initial airdrop can reach out to `darkvegas` on Session or simply submit an Ethereum address as a comment to this post.
### Pure Blood vs Contaminated Blood.
BLOOD was launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2023 as a lunarpunk anti-memecoin. Unlike normal memecoins, which are usually paired against ETH in Uniswap v2 pools, BLOOD was mainly paired against popular memecoins such as PEPE, SHIB, TURBO, LADYS, and POOH in Uniswap v3 pools, which allowed users to sacrifice memecoins in order to get BLOOD. The market cap of BLOOD experienced steady growth mainly due to price appreciation of the underlying assets it was paired against in the liquidity pools and reached around $250,000 market cap prior to the airdrop.
Unfortunately, a lot of liquidity has been sucked out by the arbitrage bots, which were rebalancing the liquidity pools when prices of paired memecoins significantly diverged from each other. There were different ideas how to protect the project from arbitrage bots. The most obvious solution was to relaunch BLOOD with a high transaction tax, but Uniswap v3 pools cannot be utilized by tokens with such a tax. Using older Uniswap v2 pools instead was not an option because only newer v3 pools allow the distribution of liquidity across various price ranges to provide a more fair launch.
It was eventually decided not to relaunch the initial BLOOD token, but rather introduce extra wrapper contracts such as PepeBlood, TurboBlood, and JesusBlood, which should protect from arbitrage bots. Users can call a `contaminateBlood` function to convert pure BLOOD into pepeBLOOD, turboBLOOD, and jesusBLOOD, or execute `purifyBlood` in order to convert it back to BLOOD. Each wrapping and unwrapping operation has a 10% tax, which is sent to a `bloodJar`, which can be later used to either burn BLOOD or send it to a treasury, which itself can be used in order to fund new pools, airdrops, and other initiatives.
In order to protect from wrapped tokens being listed on centralized exchanges a `spillBlood` function was added, allowing anybody to drain 0.5% of contaminated blood balance from any NPC address every 300 blocks. However, contaminated blood cannot be drained from altars, which are Uniswap liquidity pools, where memecoins are being sacrificed. Contaminated blood cannot be transferred to other addresses, it can only be purified or sent to altars.
