## Proposal Details
- Project: Kyros
- Proposal: Burn 4.42M unclaimed KYROS airdrop allocation
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2026-01-13
- URL: https://www.metadao.fi/projects/kyros/proposal/GH8DFQjiSd9VwCZxzb3kzU2Jpx5JFC9gn8JNGKHfjrYa
- Description: ## TL;DR

**Proposal:** Burn 4,421,077 unclaimed KYROS from the airdrop. We believe this will reinforces long-term alignment and avoids supply-leakage to disengaged users.

**If this proposal passes:** The burn will be executed by burning the tokens through the DAO. It will be done transparently and verifiably on-chain within a maximum of two week after the end of the proposal voting window.

## Summary

### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to burn 4,421,077 unclaimed KYROS from the initial airdrop allocation to reduce the total supply and enhance the value proposition for long-term holders.

### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Long-term KYROS holders may benefit from a reduced supply, potentially increasing the value of their holdings.

#### 📈 Upside Potential
Burning the unclaimed tokens is expected to decrease the fully diluted valuation (FDV), making KYROS more appealing to potential investors.

#### 📉 Risk Factors
The decision to burn tokens could alienate some users who may have claimed their airdrop in the future, possibly impacting community sentiment.

## **Overview**

Burn **4,421,077** unclaimed KYROS from the initial airdrop allocation.

## **Background:**

On 13/10/2025, Kyros launched its token KYROS.

As part of the TGE, 12.5M KYROS (25% of total supply at launch) were allocated to a retroactive airdrop. Eligibility was based on three main categories:

- 64% — Linear points program (”Warchest”): rewarded users for holding Kyros assets, with multipliers for participating in specific DeFi strategies.
- 16% — Community quests (“The Village”): rewarded users who completed specific DeFi tasks within the Kyros ecosystem.
- 20% — Early users: allocated to users who supported Kyros from day one (those that were the first to bring TVL to the project) and were instrumental to its growth.

3 months after TGE, 4,379,383 kyKYROS (around 4.42M KYROS) remain unclaimed. This represents approximately 38.25% of the total airdrop allocation.

This proposal seeks to burn the entire unclaimed amount.

## Rationale

If a user has not claimed its airdrop after this period, it’s a strong signal that:

- they do not follow Kyros closely,
- the allocation was insignificant to them, or
- they do not intend to be long-term holders.

All in all, we believe this shows these users are unlikely to be long-term value-adding members to Kyros. Rewarding those type of users is misaligned with the purpose of the airdrop and does not benefit overall KYROS holders.

**Why burn the tokens instead of keeping it in DAO Treasury?**

Kyros already designed its tokenomics to meet its current and mid-term needs.

Additionally, the mint authority has been fully delegated to MetaDAO Futarchy. This means that if Kyros ever needs more tokens in the future, they can be minted under transparent governance. So ultimately, there is no benefit in absorbing unclaimed tokens into treasury.

For all of those reasons, we believe that burning those tokens is the best option to favor long term KYROS holders. This will reduce FDV with the goal of making KYROS more appealing to investors.

## **Rundown of Numbers**

- **Current total supply:** 50,000,000 KYROS
- **Initial airdrop allocation:** 12,500,000 KYROS
- **Unclaimed airdrop to burn:** 4,421,077 KYROS
- **New total supply after burn:** 45,578,923 KYROS
