Read the full letter from KuCoin CEO Johnny Lyu.
Since its inception seven years ago, KuCoin has navigated the volatile crypto industry, facing and overcoming numerous challenges. These experiences have not only strengthened the platform but have also solidified the trust and loyalty of its users. KuCoin's journey is marked by its dedication to the crypto sector, aiming for global recognition and acceptance. An early example of this dedication was in October 2017, when KuCoin took the unprecedented step of compensating users for the delisting of a project, reinforcing its commitment to user value and earning the moniker "People's Exchange."
The recent withdrawal issues on March 26th and 27th prompted an apology from Lyu, who expressed a deep sense of responsibility for the inconvenience caused. KuCoin is rolling out an airdrop event totaling $10 million in KCS and BTC to make amends. This initiative is designed to express gratitude for the community's support and patience, with the distribution rules set to be announced shortly. The CEO's letter emphasizes the importance of community trust; a sentiment echoed in the additional compensation details provided for affected users.

The airdrop includes $8.95 million allocated for users who faced withdrawal delays, with the amount of compensation ranging from 5 to 200 USDT based on the extent of the inconvenience. Eligible users will receive token vouchers exchangeable for BTC/KCS, which are claimable via the KuCoin app. Additionally, a larger airdrop plan is in the works for existing users who maintained significant assets on the platform during the period and did not withdraw any funds, with details forthcoming.
This gesture is a testament to KuCoin's commitment to its users, ensuring the security of their assets and striving for service excellence. While the airdrop is subject to regulatory policies and has its terms and conditions, it stands as a significant act of goodwill, reinforcing KuCoin's dedication to growth alongside its community.
