New warning drops for XRP enthusiasts amid the wait for potential innovations, especially the Xahau network and the Evernode airdrop.
Evernode, a permissionless “layer 2” smart contract platform, took to X on September 22 to call the attention of XRP users to some scam techniques adopted by internet fraudsters, particularly on Twitter, and the proposed steps to mitigate these scams.
In the precautionary statement, Evernode noted that it will only share links to the new website articles without sending direct messages to users. It also noted that it never offers support to users from its X handle.

Evernode Airdrops – Progress So Far And Criteria For Qualification
For context, Evernode is a layer-2 network developed to integrate Smart Contract capabilities into the XRP ledger via hooks. On September 01, it announced the completion of its Evers airdrop snapshot for XRP holders in a discovery that spewed excitement among the XRP community.
The completed snapshot implies that XRP holders are now eligible to explore their captured XRP balance while they anticipate the final stage that would precede the airdrop.
Recall that Evernode had previously disclosed that it intends to distribute 5,160,960 Evers to some qualified XRP holders. In addition, it noted that the distribution would play out in two steps.

The first step which involves capturing a snapshot of XRP holdings on the mainnet was completed on September 1 as previously noted in this report. It is left to see how the airdrop would play out.
Notably, eligible accounts for the airdrop on the Hooks sidechain would be based solely on the individual’s XRP holdings on the mainnet.
Also, users should ensure that they hold their XRP directly on-chain rather than via an exchange to claim the airdrop, as there might be a need to clone accounts on the Hooks sidechain to access these airdrops.
600 Million Xahau XRP Up For Grabs

Some members felt that the distribution strategy might be devastating to XRP’s market outlook. On the other hand, some argued that it was a means of fostering and enhancing growth.
