How to Claim Monad Airdrop — Step-by-Step Guide
After months of anticipation, Monad Labs officially opened the claim portal for its first-ever airdrop on October 14, 2025, at 13:00 UTC.
This marks the first round of MON token distribution ahead of the public mainnet launch, following a successful testnet that processed millions of transactions. The event has sparked major excitement across the crypto community — especially among users who interacted with Monad’s testnet, deployed contracts, used the faucet, or tested dApps.
Eligible users can now verify their allocation and claim MON tokens safely via the official portal:
Official Portal: claim.monad.xyz

How to Claim MON Airdrop (Step-by-Step)
Claiming your MON tokens is straightforward — but make sure you only use the official claim portal and double-check your wallet connection.
1. Go to the official portal:
Beware of fake links or clones.
2. Connect your wallet via Privy:
Click “Connect Wallet” and sign in with your EVM or Solana wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Phantom, or Atomic Wallet in EVM mode).
You can also optionally verify through Twitter, Discord, or Telegram — this is part of Monad’s identity validation.
3. Authenticate your activity:
The portal automatically checks your address against Monad’s eligibility database, using on-chain records from testnet and social participation data.
4. View your allocation:
If you’re eligible, your MON balance will appear on the dashboard.
Some rewards may display a “Locked” tag — these will unlock after Monad’s mainnet launch.
5. Claim your tokens:
Click “Claim MON”, review your allocation, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
You’ll pay only a small gas fee (ETH or test MON, depending on your wallet setup).
6. Confirm receipt:
Your MON tokens will appear in your connected wallet within seconds.
If they don’t show automatically, add the MON token contract address manually (provided in the claim portal).
Atomic Wallet users can simply import the same EVM address and manage MON non-custodially — no intermediaries, no KYC, full control of private keys.
Safety Tips — Avoid Fake Airdrops
As excitement is growing, so are scams. Secure your assets by following these golden rules:
- Never click claim links from Telegram or DMs — use only the official domain: claim.monad.xyz.
- Never enter your seed phrase or private key anywhere. Monad will never ask for them.
- Bookmark the official site and check that the SSL certificate is valid.
- Watch for fake Twitter giveaways. Several cloned accounts already post fake “Claim Now” URLs.
- Verify your connected wallet — MetaMask often shows a “this site isn’t verified” warning for new portals; always cross-check.
The Monad Foundation emphasized that no team members or core contributors are eligible to claim in this airdrop, ensuring a fair community-first distribution.All authentication in the claim portal is handled via Privy, which supports signing in with wallets or verified social accounts (Twitter, Discord, Telegram, etc.).
