We’re watching! 
pls don’t bot from multiple accounts! 
The app developers are not responsible for allocating NAM rewards. Web3Privacy Now is not responsible for NAM rewards. The Namada community will review donations and use a Namada governance proposal to decide and distribute Namada’s community token. Nobody from Namada is responsible for Web3Privacy Now donations, so we do not have the power to refund them.
One of the experiments in this round of Donor Drop is a delay between when the campaign window closes, and when NAM allocations are distributed to recognized donors. This suggested change was surfaced to try to align the incentives for participating in Donor Drop more closely to what might benefit the Namada Community in the long run.
This means that NAM allocations for those who meet the criteria will be distributed around 2 months after the campaign has finished. As before, the Namada community will need to vote on a governance proposal to approve allocation of the earmarked NAM to recognized donors.
Be Prepared!
Don’t Do What Donny Does:
The most common missteps of the first round were interface and interaction mistakes that can be avoided if you know about them! Watch out for:
- donating before the start time or after the cap is reached
- sending from a CEX which does not allow memo field / signing proof
- using an L2 instead of mainnet
- donating without your Namada tnam address
- including something different than their tnam address as a memo, like tpknam
- double or triple hex encoding the tnam address
- setting gas fees too low and tx didn’t go through before cap is reached
If you’d like a practice run at sendig your donation, that can be done through the Donor Drop App test site which is live now! This app was created for us by @zenodeapp and is being run and maintained by community members @sirouk @rigorous and more.
There is also a Participation Guide that is very similar to the step-by-step instructions you are paced through on the Donor Drop app. If you will not be using the app, we highly encourage you read through this guide before donating.

Why Web3Privacy Now?
Web3Privacy Now has become a cultural epicenter for teams, communities, and individuals answering the call to return to cypherpunk roots–namely, digital privacy.
W3PN hosts events, creates (educational content](Privacy Guides | Web3Privacy Now Docs) and research reports, advocacy, and social initiatives that bind us together as a community–beyond Namada, but within crypto. They were our co-organizers for the Shielding Summit in Brussels 
Great panel @ShieldingSummit bridging the gap between advocacy, policy, and tech 🧩

They also have big plans for what they are rolling out in 2025, which you can read about on their Linktree or by catching up with the posts by some of their team members on the Namada forum here and here.

What’s a Donor Drop?
A new token distribution strategy pioneered by Luminara. Participants donate toward a public good/service, and the community coordinates to reward donors with their token. I think of the Donor Drop as the part that we liked about ICOs combined with the part that we liked about airdrops. The Namada community signalled strong support for this campaign in late December: [Draft] Signalling proposal - Will you support an airdrop campaign using Namada’s PGF?
For us visual learners, here’s a quick look at how this round of Donor Drop is deployed.
About the Donor Drop
The Namada community signalled strong support for this campaign in late December: [Draft] Signalling proposal - Will you support an airdrop campaign using Namada’s PGF?
The Namada Donor Drop is a win-win-win. We could directly donate NAM to Coin Center, but they need runway, not a new token with no established market. However, there are people who do want this new token, and before there’s a market.
Namada can get its token into the hands of those who are attracted by our mission and want to join our community as NAM owners. Even though Coin Center is receiving the donations, they do not need to be involved! And Namada does not need to be involved in the donations! In fact, we are just collecting public information about on-chain donations, and have no control or involvement with the donations themselves (which means we cannot refund anything or intervene ! 
)
The Donor Drop is a more elegant way to do public goods funding, and we expect and hope that other communities will do it too.
