The Ethos team highlights that the Voyager tragedy affected over 1 million cryptocurrency holders with losses exceeding $600 million in equivalent.
To "provide a ray of hope," Ethos protocol decided to airdrop its ETHOS tokens to both Voyager creditors and holders of VGX, its core asset. While there are no guarantees for airdrop participants, the team is sure that the airdrop can provide a new path for the entire crypto community.
Ethos co-founder Adam Lavine highlights that his product is set to address risks associated with centralized lending protocols, exchanges and crypto wallets:
Voyager joins a long list of centralized meltdowns such as Mt. Gox and Quadriga, losing customer funds in the process. We’re building a next-generation decentralized finance platform, and giving out free tokens to encourage users to take control of their own crypto funds.
Previously, the Ethos and Voyager teams had a working relationship, but in 2021, the initial team of the first platform left the joint venture due to differences of opinion on the roadmap for business development.

Victims of the Voyager drama can check their eligibility for the airdrop and apply for ETHOS compensation through the Ethos 2.0 main website.
