I didn’t knew much about Odos before they announced their airdrop, just noticing the name when I was doing swaps in my Zerion wallet. Odos was chosen quite often as the best trading option, not OGs like 1inch or Kyberswap, which made it clear that they are doing a good job.
Odos is a decentralized exchange aggregator designed to optimize cryptocurrency trading by sourcing liquidity from over 900 sources across multiple blockchain networks. The Smart Order Routing (SOR) technology employs a proprietary algorithm to identify the most efficient paths for token swaps, ensuring users receive the best possible rates while minimizing gas costs.

Why I was eligible for the airdrop? I’ve made 37 swaps through Odos, mainly swapping shitcoins or low value tokens. The aggregator choice wasn’t made by me, as Zerion will always chose the most financially efficient option.
The$ODOS tokens is capped at 10 billion, with a distribution designed to reward user engagement and activity within the ecosystem. My stash of tokens…
