Monad Claim Guide: How to Secure Your Tokens using Backpack Wallet
Claiming your MON tokens through Backpack Wallet can be straightforward if you follow the right steps and stay careful of scams. In this guide you will find everything you need to know, from preparing your wallet to completing the claim safely.
What Is Monad
Monad is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain designed to combine high performance with Ethereum compatibility. It can process thousands of transactions per second while maintaining low fees and a developer experience similar to Ethereum.
The project focuses on parallel execution and advanced optimization techniques to improve scalability without sacrificing decentralization.
Monad aims to become a major player among EVM-compatible blockchains by offering better speed and efficiency for decentralized applications.
Why the Monad Airdrop Matters
The MON airdrop marks the first major token distribution for the Monad ecosystem. It rewards early supporters, developers, and active community members who contributed to the network’s growth.
More than 230,000 users are expected to be eligible, including testnet participants and DeFi users across major blockchains.
This airdrop also serves as a key step toward Monad’s mainnet launch, helping decentralize the initial token supply and attract liquidity to the new chain.
According to official updates, the claim portal opened on October 14, 2025, and will remain available until November 3, 2025.
Prerequisites Before Claiming
Before claiming your MON tokens, make sure the following conditions are met.
Previous Monad Testnet Activity
Eligibility for the airdrop depends on your activity during the Monad testnet.
Users who interacted with testnet dApps, faucets, swaps, or NFTs are more likely to qualify.
Compatible Wallet
