Who is eligible for airdrop?
The Evernode team also shared the details of its airdrop campaign for the participants of the previous testnet iteration. The participants should preserve host addresses and secrets by activating special files.
The activation of Hooks, basic smart contracts for XRP Ledger, is among the most anticipated milestones for the XRP community. It will make XRPL a programmatic blockchain and give a significant boost to its DeFi ecosystem.
The mainnet activation of this crucial function is expected as soon as in Q3-Q4, 2023.
