What
Every wallet on MultiversX that’s not a marketplace receives $REALM every month per LANNUBONDS-65509e NFT it contains. This is done automatically with scripts on AWS, instead of smart contracts (SCs) on chain.
How
The Treasurer Duties details how the scripts are used. The two scripts that snapshot wallets and airdrop per NFT have been set to run automatically on a magic cloud (an AWS instance), but they can also be run by a DAO member from their computer. These scripts are built from open-source templates used by the ElrondNetwork community and continue to function in MultiversX.

When
The $R distributions for NFT holders runs for 1 year; it began in July 2022 and the seventh occurred 1 January, with the final payment taking place 1 June 2023. Automation of the payments was attempted for months and finally achieved in a cloud instance in time for Distribution 8, February 2023.

Who
Supreme Treasurer J4cks modified the scripts and configured them to run first locally on his own machine then remotely in cloud environments. He distributed the $REALM payments using manual wallet.elrond.com transactions before the automation scripts and cloud enchantments were devised.
Why
The blend of cloud servers running scripts to affect a blockchain is sometimes called web2.5 and this offers a mix of accountability to both old and new technology paradigms. In our efforts to create a transparent and accountable membership, the superior access of the Python code versus smart contracts onchain (due mainly to no current Lannuvari having SC expertise) made this tech stack our choice. Members who wish to improve and update the distribution scripts are encouraged to review them and advise J4cks accordingly OR join
