About Cornerstone Airdrop
Cornerstone Airdrop is a metagovernance protocol for DeFi, Web3, social, gaming and more for the NEAR ecosystem. The native token $CORN enables its holders to participate in DAO governance of various Dapp protocols and capture value from the entire NEAR ecosystem.
Cornerstone is airdropping a total of 10,000 CORN to LiNEAR (staked NEAR) stakers. The first snapshot was taken between July 20th to July 25th, 2022 and a total of 10 snapshots will be taken until the launch of the platform (expected to happen around August to September)

What is Metagovernance?
Metagovernance is a mechanism that uses one metagovernance token to participate in the DAO governance of multiple protocols. Cornerstone achieves this by accruing governance tokens in its treasury and enabling $CORN holders to decide how to use them.
Current problems with on-chain Dapp ecosystem
1. Scattered governance: There are dozens of governance tokens to hold
2. Ecosystem Inefficiency: Many “wars” being fought, without enhancing capital efficiency
3. Siloed value capture: Almost all protocols want to be the next Curve, but many are too small to generate meaningful governance value alone
4. Poor UX: Operating different tokens on one protocol alone is a hassle for an individual user (CRV, veCRV, cvxCRV, CVX and vlCVX), not to mention operating across multiple ones at the same time
Why Corn is a win for every party?
1. Users: Maximize return on token holdings. With Cornerstone, user can capture governance value of the entire ecosystem with only ONE token, automatic and hassle-free
2. DeFi & non-DeFi platforms: Massively reduce sell pressure on their governance tokens. Acquire semi-permanent liquidity, and make governance effective
3. All other protocols: Maximize capital efficiency. Influence token emission of multiple platforms via a single market
4. Ecosystem: Reduce cannibalization among protocols. Lower the cost of liquidity. Enhance governance culture.
What is Cornerstone treasury and from where does $CORN derive its value?
1. A balanced portfolio of mainstream assets and governance tokens: Cornerstone will bootstrap its treasury with mainstream assets (USDC, NEAR, ETH, etc.) and LP tokens. Users have low risk as they can exit (burn $CORN for treasury assets) anytime if $CORN is trading below the basket of tokens it represents
2. The biggest DAO-managed liquidity provider: Individual farmers are better off joining Cornerstone, because it has more governance tokens, thus higher boost for farming rewards – Economy of Scale. Protocols seeking TVL will compete for Cornerstone treasury assets – more incentives for $CORN holder
3. The most powerful governor of the ecosystem: As Cornerstone will gradually accrue more and more value from the leading assets across NEAR ecosystem.
