Snapshot Details
The snapshot for this airdrop was taken at the XRP ledger index number of 60,155,580, with a timestamp of December 12, 2020 at 00:00 UTC. The snapshot included the net XRP balances in the following wallet types:

Importantly, XRP borrowed from Margin or Crypto Loans, as well as XRP transferred to these wallet types from other accounts, were excluded from the snapshot calculation.

Distribution Ratio
Flare tokens were distributed to eligible users according to a fixed conversion ratio of 1 XRP = 0.1511 FLR. This ratio was applied uniformly across all qualified participants based on their XRP holdings at the time of the snapshot.
Important Notes
Several important considerations applied to this airdrop distribution:
- Users needed to ensure that the "Hide Small Balances" option was NOT selected in order to view their Flare token balance in the "Fiat and Spot" Wallet section.
- While withdrawals for Flare tokens were enabled following the distribution, deposits for Flare tokens were not supported. Users were strongly advised not to attempt Flare deposits to avoid the risk of losing their funds.
- U.S. persons, entities, and individuals from sanctioned countries were not eligible to receive this airdrop, in accordance with applicable regulations and platform terms of service.
