Network Genesis
The genesis of Terp Network — chain start, airdrop, headstash, and OG challenge
Network Genesis
Genesis is the birth of a blockchain — the first block, the initial state, and the distribution of tokens. Terp Network's genesis involved a multi-phase launch designed to maximize fair distribution and community participation.

Airdrop Distribution
The genesis airdrop distributed uthiol to participants who contributed to the ecosystem, including:
- Stakers on partner chains
- Community members
- Open source contributors
- Early testnet participants
Airdrop distribution chart scaffold — a pie chart or bar chart showing the distribution of genesis tokens by category (community, contributors, stakers, reserves, etc.).
Headstash
Headstash is a genesis NFT collection commemorating early participants. Holding a Headstash NFT may entitle holders to:
- Governance participation in certain DAOs
- Protocol fee sharing
- Community recognition
See the Headstash guide for details.
OG Challenge
The OG Challenge was a proof-of-work competition where participants solved cryptographic puzzles to earn genesis recognition. Three progressively harder challenges tested:
- Hash preimage finding
- Merkle tree construction
- Signature verification
See the OG Challenge guide for the full challenge specifications and solutions.
Scavenger Hunt
An extension of the OG challenge, the scavenger hunt required participants to:
- Find hidden clues across multiple platforms
- Decode cryptographic messages
- Submit proofs on-chain
See the Scavenger Hunt guide for details.
Genesis Constitution
Terp Network launched with a genesis constitution outlining the foundational principles and governance framework. See the Constitution for the full text.
