Auroracoin records destruction of unclaimed airdrop coins

Historical retrospective compiled on 24 October 2026. Month-end archive date: the project supply history identifies April 2015, without an exact day.

Evidence: Retrospective project supply record.

Auroracoin’s published supply history records the destruction of 5,345,000 AUR in April 2015, representing coins left unclaimed from its distribution program. The record distinguishes the original allocation for Icelandic residents from the coins that ultimately remained in circulation. That distinction is important when interpreting a currency launched with a large premine intended for public distribution: reserved coins and successfully distributed coins are different quantities. The project describes the destruction as verifiable. This entry reports its published accounting and does not assign an exact transaction date beyond the month established by the cited source.
