The much-anticipated SCR token from Ethereum Layer 2 project Scroll [has finally launched](https://www.theblock.co/post/322255/why-the-scroll-layer-2-token-airdrop-announced-today-annoys-some-users), but it hasn’t been without controversy. The token’s distribution model and early trading sparked complaints from many users who felt left out or disadvantaged.

## **What’s the scoop?**
- Scroll distributed 7% of SCR’s total supply in its first airdrop, allocating tokens to more than 570,000 wallets, including contributors and open-source developers.
- Some users are frustrated by the airdrop design, citing Binance’s 5.5% allocation for its Launchpool users as unfair to regular Scroll participants.
- Complaints also surfaced that large wallets dominated the token allocation, with the top 10 wallets holding over 10% of the accrued points that determined airdrop amounts.
- SCR’s launch was met with volatility, trading at $1.40 initially but quickly dropping to $1.12, marking a 20% slump.

## **Bankless take:** 
More than a few users felt like they were farmed here rather than being the farmers. Of course, it's day 1 for SCR and the future for Scroll is wide open, but the launch marks the latest airdrop to debut to significant community frustration. Some will turn their attention elsewhere.
