deBridge Launches $DBR and Airdrops to 491,000 Wallets

deBridge Finance has taken a huge step towards decentralization by launching the $DBR governance token. Starting today, over 491,000 users can claim their $DBR tokens through the deBridge Foundation page. 

With this rollout, the community gains the power to shape the protocol's future. By staking, voting, and influencing strategic decisions, $DBR holders will guide the direction of deBridge’s growth and development.

Decentralization and Governance: Community in Control

DeBridge is moving forward by transferring governance control to $DBR holders. These tokens grant holders the authority to participate in key protocol decisions. 

Through staking, users can engage in DAO voting, directly impacting strategic parameters. The goal is clear—build an inclusive, community-led ecosystem where everyone has a voice. 

The governance model will handle Treasury management, oversee ecosystem reserves, and manage protocol upgrades. Once the delegated staking and slashing module is live, users can re-stake their tokens with validators. 

This process boosts security, increasing slashable collateral to guard against risks like downtime or censorship. Strategic partners and core contributors must wait for their tokens to vest before they can stake.

How to Claim DBR Tokens

Eligible users, including deBridge Season 1 points holders and LFG vault users, can now claim DBR tokens from the deBridge Foundation website. Those who initiated the claim-to-CEX flow can view their DBR balance on supported exchanges. 

DBR has already gone live on major platforms like Kraken, Kucoin, and Crypto.com. This wide availability means users can easily trade, stake, or hold DBR tokens.

 Through community governance and strategic decentralization, the platform aims to build a robust, secure, and transparent ecosystem. By giving users control, deBridge isn’t just decentralizing—it's creating a future where the community leads the way.
