Uphold Begins Distributing Evernode Tokens to XRP Holders
If you were one of the XRP holders eligible for the Evernode airdrop, Uphold is now distributing Evernode (EVR) tokens to users who held the native XRP Ledger token at the time of the snapshot. This distribution follows the completion of the registration process for the airdrop, taking over 423 million XRP into account, showcasing significant interest in the airdrop. Uphold’s involvement in the distribution simplifies the process for its users, eliminating the need for additional transactions. This contrasts with claiming the tokens directly on the blockchain, which can be more complex and risky.
