an interesting project and a good way to get tokens for free) this is essentially the most important thing for me.

All XLM holders will be entitled to free XLK coins at a 1:1 ratio.
To get free XLK you need to import your XLM wallet in: https://sharkwallet.org/

improving a certain established network doesnt mean that they will do better in the market. most of the improved projects based from a popular platform didnt make a wave in crypto.
