4 min readSep 27, 2021

UPDATE: Airdrop claim period is Nov 9th to Dec 9th

We are thrilled to open the whitelisting period for the $THOR airdrop.

IMPORTANT: Eligible participants MUST whitelist your ETH address before October 3rd. If you do not complete this whitelisting process before the deadline, you will NOT be able to claim the airdrop.

Why a THOR airdrop?

Roughly US$10,000,000 of THOR will be airdropped to the community and early adopters shortly after the TGE (Token Generation Event).

Two main reasons for an airdrop:

To reward active THORSwap community members and THORChain early adopters. Both are of paramount importance for the success of any product and cannot be valued enough. Many community members have dedicated a lot of time and effort to help THORSwap grow and improve and this airdrop serves as a token of appreciation to early users.
The airdrop is the first step towards decentralized THORSwap governance and ownership. The majority of THOR’s total supply is allocated for the community and is earned through productive community actions.

Who is eligible for the airdrop?

THORSwap designed a fair airdrop that is based on on-chain activity and community contributions.

Meeting any of the following 9 criteria will qualify you for the $THOR airdrop. If you meet more than one criteria, your claimable amount will be stacked.

Note: If you are eligible for more than one criteria, your claimable amount will be stacked. For example, if you are 1) an LPer 2) THORSwap trader 5) Active THORSwap Discord member 6) Active THORChads Discord member…your claimable amount will be stacked 4x.

Why require whitelisting for the airdrop?

Many airdrop mechanisms distribute tokens based on on-chain data.

Because THORChain is a multi-chain protocol, and THORSwap’s airdropped tokens are only distributed to single-chain ETH/ERC-20 addresses, we must first whitelist the ETH/ERC-20 addresses of eligible participants.

Additionally, we also want to reward active community members who contributed off-chain — such as active Discord members and active Twitter contributors.
