THE STORY

About Plume

Plume is an RWA-focused Layer 1 blockchain designed to bring real-world assets and financial activity onchain.

Challenge

Plume needed to distribute PLUME before its own network was live, while creating a path for early supporters to move with the project onto mainnet. Once Plume launched as an L1, the distribution also needed to encourage users to engage with the ecosystem rather than end at a one-time claim.

Solution

Clique built a two-phase distribution system. In Phase 1, users could claim on Ethereum, receive through an exchange, or defer their allocation until Plume mainnet for up to 66% additional tokens.

After mainnet launch, Clique supported gasless claims on Plume and contribution-based unlocks. Users could access part of their allocation initially, then accelerate access to the remainder through qualifying ecosystem participation. Users who did not participate could receive the remaining allocation after 90 days.

Results

More than 96% of eligible wallets claimed, while nearly half chose to defer their rewards until Plume mainnet. The two-phase system allowed Plume to carry its distribution from Ethereum into its own network, then connect faster unlocks with continued ecosystem participation.

THE SYSTEM

Two phases. A distribution built to evolve.

Phase 1 Initial distribution

Plume initial distribution: three claim routesClaims, connect wallet, check eligibility, sign terms, then choose one route: claim on Ethereum and receive allocation in wallet; defer the claim, record defer server-side and receive a boosted allocation at mainnet; or select a CEX, provide CEX details and have the project route the allocation to the CEX.ClaimsConnectwalletCheckeligibilitySigntermsChooserouteONCHAIN CLAIM (ETHEREUM)Onchain claimon EthereumReceive allocationin walletDEFER TO MAINNETDefer claimRecord deferserver-sideReceive boosted allocationat mainnetCEX CLAIMOffchain CEXselectionProvide CEX detailsAllocation routedto CEX by project
