Monad Airdrop Claim Portal Goes Live

October 14, 2025 – Monad Foundation has opened the MON airdrop claim portal at 13:00 UTC today, moving its high-throughput Layer-1 closer to mainnet. The site – claim.monad.xyz lets more than 230,000 eligible users verify and queue allocations ahead of the Token Generation Event. The rollout follows weeks of teasers and heavy X/Discord buzz, with Monad pitching itself as an Ethereum-compatible chain targeting ~10,000 TPS, one-second blocks, and near-zero fees via parallel execution.

Eligibility & Mechanics

The drop spans five tracks. Monad Community covers ~5,500 core users, including “Monad Cards” nominees and Discord role holders. On-chain Users (≈225,000 wallets) include DEX traders, specific NFT minters, and holders of the “1 Million Nads” SBT. Crypto Community recognizes active X/Telegram contributors and partner ecosystems. Crypto Contributors & Curious targets open-source devs and educators. Finally, Monad Builders (~1,000–2,000) includes validators, testnet explorers, and dApp teams.

Multi-qualifiers stack rewards, so deeper participation earns more MON. However, strict Sybil filters have excluded some high-activity testnet addresses, fueling debates over fairness. Even so, the Foundation says the design aims to seed “people who eat, sleep, and breathe crypto.” A full reveal event is slated for October 28, with optional early allocation previews.
