The Token Generation Event is a one-time event that marked the moment $SWEAT officially launched - 12:00 (UTC) on the 12th of September of 2022.
At TGE, the Foundation took a "snapshot" of users´ sweatcoin balances, gave one $SWEAT for one sweatcoin, and deposited it to each users' Sweat wallet.
Everyone who was opted into Sweat at 12:00 (UTC) received $SWEAT.
No sweatcoins are harmed in the making of TGE ;-)
