Aligned Airdrop Details
Introduction
The Aligned Genesis Drop allocated 8.74% of total ALIGN supply , drawn from a fixed 10 billion total, to the community that has supported crypto, Ethereum, and ZK. At TGE, 44.36% of the airdrop unlocks , equal to about 3.88% of total supply .
The airdrop is split into three components.
Airdrop 1: Community allocation (~6.54% of supply)
The bulk of the drop. How it unlocks depends on the size of your allocation:
10,000 tokens or less: 100% unlocked at TGE.
More than 10,000 tokens: 10,000 tokens at TGE, with the remainder released over a 12-month linear vesting schedule.
Airdrop 2: Distinguished Contributors (2.10% of supply)
Reserved for Wave 4 recipients recognized for outstanding contributions to Ethereum and ZK: Protocol Guild (1.5%), L2BEAT (0.2%), ZachXBT (0.2%), and ZK Podcast (0.2%). Only 2.08% unlocks at TGE , with the rest vesting linearly over 47 months .
ZK Arcade (0.10% of supply)
Fully unlocked at TGE.
Vesting Timeline
The chart below shows the cumulative airdrop unlock month over month. A large share enters circulation at TGE, and the curve then rises gradually as the vesting portions of Airdrop 1 and Airdrop 2 are released, with the schedule extending to month 47 due to Airdrop 2's linear vesting.
Where to claim: Ethereum L1 and Base
To keep claiming both accessible and cost-efficient, allocations are claimed on different networks depending on their size. Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2), which settles to Ethereum while offering much lower transaction fees, whereas Ethereum L1 is the mainnet itself:
Allocations of 10,000 ALIGN or less claim on Base (L2). These unlock fully at TGE, so routing them to Base keeps gas costs low for the largest group of recipients.
Allocations above 10,000 ALIGN claim on Ethereum L1. These follow the 10,000-at-TGE plus 12-month linear vesting schedule, and are claimed directly on mainnet.
In short: smaller, fully-unlocked allocations claim on Base; larger, partially-vested allocations claim on Ethereum L1.
