Monad Airdrop Claim: What We Know So Far

‍

Monad, an upcoming high‑performance Layer‑1 blockchain, recently confirmed on X that its long‑anticipated native token airdrop will open for claims on October 14. The announcement marks a major milestone in the project’s roadmap but leaves out many details, including who qualifies, how much each user will receive and any vesting schedules.

What Is Monad?

Monad is positioning itself as a next‑generation Layer‑1 network that offers full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility alongside high throughput. Developers can deploy Solidity smart contracts on Monad without changes, while enjoying faster execution and lower fees. The team also runs a public testnet where developers and early users can experiment with the network ahead of mainnet launch.

Airdrop Timing & What’s Missing

• Claim opens Oct 14: Monad’s team says an airdrop claims portal will go live on Oct 14. Users will be able to connect a supported wallet to check eligibility and claim tokens.
  
  
• Allocation details unclear: As of publication, Monad hasn’t revealed token distribution amounts, eligibility requirements or vesting periods.
  
  
• Trading MON: Some derivatives exchanges have already introduced perpetual futures contracts for MON. On Backpack Exchange, MON trading will officially open once the token goes live, allowing users to trade both spot and perps seamlessly. (How to buy MON)

How to Prepare
‍

If you plan to participate in the Monad airdrop, it’s wise to take a few basic steps:

1. Set up a Monad‑compatible wallet: While official wallet support hasn’t been announced, expect standard EVM wallets like Backpack or MetaMask to integrate once the claim portal is live. Keep your private keys secure and watch for phishing links. (What is a Monad wallet)
   
   
2. Try the testnet: Interacting with Monad’s testnet is a good way to learn the ecosystem. Follow official documentation to deploy contracts, transfer test tokens and interact with decentralized applications. (Get started with Monad testnet)
   
   
3. Stay informed: Because eligibility criteria remain unclear, follow official Monad and partner announcements. Avoid speculating on unverified allocation rumours.
   
   

Final Thoughts

Monad’s forthcoming airdrop is generating excitement across the crypto ecosystem. However, with allocation details still under wraps, users should avoid FOMO and focus on staying informed. Set up your wallet, explore the testnet and keep an eye on official channels for updates.

If you’re new to decentralized trading or want a convenient way to interact with upcoming networks, consider trying Backpack. Backpack offers a regulated derivatives exchange and a multi‑chain wallet in one app, letting you swap and manage tokens across Solana, Ethereum and beyond.
