Thus, the SCR token ardrop will take place on October 22, at the same time as the launch of the asset on the market. Beforehand, a snapshot will be taken on October 19in order to determine which participants are eligible for a reward. Therefore, it still seems possible to try to become eligible for this airdrop during the few remaining days, for people who have not yet participated.
On the occasion of this announcement, the project teams returned to the use cases of the token:
SCR plays an important role in achieving this mission, particularly in terms of the design of the core protocol and the long-term sustainability of the Scroll ecosystem. SCR allows us to decentralize Scroll's governance, provers, and sequencer into our development roadmap, playing a critical long-term role in the design of Scroll's core protocol.
With a total capitalization of one billion tokens, 7% of these SCRs will be distributed during this first airdrop phase. Note also that 8% of the tokens are reserved for a second airdrop, the deadline for which has not yet been specified.

A developing ecosystem
At the same time, Scroll continues its development, notably with a total value locked (TVL) of just over $750 million. After a strong progression in the spring, we can however note a slowdown in this progression, which can partly be explained by the general slowdown of the ecosystem in recent months:

Regarding the applications that make up this TVL, Pencils Protocol takes the lead with $290 million, followed by Aave with $162 million.
In terms of network adoption, the number of users has been growing steadily since the opening of the mainnet. To date, the number of unique addresses on the network is more than 5.8 million :

From now on, it will be a question of observing after the airdrop whether this activity is distorted by the prospects of rewards, or whether current users remain loyal to Scroll after the distribution of SCR.
