GM Degens!

We’d like to apologize for the delay in finalizing the Degen Airdrop results. We mistakenly posted an update before it was fully verified, and have since removed it to ensure accuracy.

We’re committed to making sure every contribution is counted and rewarded correctly. The current scores on the Degen leaderboard aren’t final, but we’ll update them soon with the real results and reward amounts.

Thanks for your patience, and enjoy your time at TON Gateway!
