Common Airdrop

Problem Solved

Common is a multi-chain toolkit built for communities that live on-chain. It merges token creation, governance, forums, and treasury tools into one interface so DAOs and community admins don’t have to juggle half a dozen apps. Users can gate content by token holdings, run integrated on-chain proposals, track treasury balances, and coordinate without leaving the platform. With support for hundreds of communities and cross-chain compatibility, Common seeks to help community operations and make them feel less like admin work and more like a single, cohesive workflow.

Tokenomics

Common’s native token ($CMN) is anticipated but not yet live. The team plans to launch $CMN to decentralize the platform’s governance and reward contributors. Official tokenomics remain undisclosed, but early hints suggest a large allocation for community incentives (e.g. airdrops or participation rewards) to drive governance activity. Another portion will likely fund development and the team, with investor stakes from prior funding rounds vested over time. The token is expected to serve as a governance and utility token within the ecosystem rather than a fee token (the platform currently charges no usage fees).

Perspectives

Common aims to become core infrastructure for crypto communities across chains. Its multi-chain approach and planned features like an app marketplace for custom modules demonstrate a long-term vision. The team is also integrating social platforms (Telegram, Farcaster) and building reputation systems to broaden reach. Common’s all-in-one model could be a moat, but it must convince communities to leave familiar tools and follow through on decentralizing control once $CMN launches. If DAO activity grows, Common is well-positioned; however, a downturn in Web3 engagement or execution missteps could limit its upside.

Founders and Team

Common was created by Commonwealth Labs, led by co-founder and CEO Dillon Chen. Chen has a strong background in crypto governance—he previously co-founded the Edgeware blockchain to pioneer on-chain DAO management. The current team is small but brings specialized experience in decentralized tech and community building. They have already scaled Common to support major projects (dYdX, NEAR, Axie, etc.), showcasing their ability to execute. Early backing from prominent figures like Balaji Srinivasan and Aave’s Stani Kulechov underlines the team’s credibility. Overall, the founders appear well-equipped to grow the project.

Funding

The project is well-capitalized from two major funding rounds. Commonwealth Labs raised about $3.2 million in a 2021 round led by Dragonfly and ParaFi, with notable angels participating. In May 2022, it secured an additional $20 million, backed by top-tier crypto investors. This brings total funding to roughly $23 million. With a strong financial runway and influential backers, Common has the resources and connections needed to execute its vision. The venture funding also implies investors expect a future token launch and significant growth.

Community

Common has over 40k followers on X and close to 9k on Discord, which is not substantial for a well-established project founded in 2021. Nevertheless, Common’s user base shows growth, fueled in part by airdrop speculation. Engagement appears high: the “Aura” campaign drew thousands of participants in week one, and many users are completing Zealy quests in hopes of future tokens. Community sentiment is optimistic; members are excited about Common’s potential (and a possible token). That said, much of the hype is tied to rewards, so keeping users long-term will require delivering value beyond an airdrop.

Competitors

Common operates in a crowded community tooling space with plenty of rivals. Legacy setups using separate forums, voting platforms, and chat apps (e.g. Discourse, Snapshot, and Discord) are entrenched alternatives. Specialized platforms like Tally or Boardroom offer governance trackers, and frameworks such as Aragon or DAOhaus help launch DAOs. There are also niche tools (token-gating bots, quest platforms) tackling parts of the problem. The market is saturated mostly with siloed solutions rather than direct all-in-one competitors. Common’s integrated, cross-chain approach is a differentiator, but it must convince communities that switching to a new platform is worth leaving the familiar status quo.
