Are there guides to help with checking & claiming $ZEX?
How do i know if i am eligible for the airdrop?

How is the airdrop distributed, linear or tiered?
Is there a deadline by which users need to claim?

Users can claim their airdrop until Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at 09:45 UTC; any unclaimed tokens will be returned to the community via incentives & campaigns.

What happens to unclaimed tokens?

What happens to the Zeta Cards?

The Zeta Cards were minted to provide users utility via Z-Score boosts and fun during each specific season of Z-Score (Season 1, and Season 2). Now that Season 2 has ended, Zeta Cards no longer have any utility. Any unburned Z-Cards will serve as a memento of the Zeta Markets pre-TGE era but will no longer be usable on the platform.

What if I closed my Zeta account?

This won't impact your airdrop eligibility but there may be edge cases for specific campaigns - if an account was closed while a campaign was ongoing, you may be ineligible for that campaign.

Why was my wallet flagged as Sybil?

What Are The Diamond Hand Claim & 7-Day Bonus?
What is the Diamond Hand Claim?

By opting for a Diamond Hand Claim, users can claim all allocation categories in full at TGE and then stake them in one action - no need to wait for the 7-Day Bonus!

  • Staking your airdrop earlier means your average gZEX over the first epoch will be higher, increasing your staking airdrop allocation

  • Immediate participation in governance and access to boosted incentives as soon as they are implemented

What is the 7-Day Bonus?

Airdrop Bonuses

What Are The Diamond Hand Claim & 7-Day Bonus?
What is the Staking Airdrop?

The staking airdrop (2% of supply) rewards token holders that indicate their commitment to Zeta’s long-term success and governance by staking their tokens within the first epoch (28 days) after TGE.

Checker & Allocations

Where can I check my allocation?
How do I know my current allocation?
Can I see a breakdown of my token allocation?
What can I do if I think my allocation is wrong?
What if I’m ineligible?
What if I buy $ZEX on the open market and stake it - am I eligible for the staking airdrop?

Yes! You can buy $ZEX and stake it just like any other holder of $ZEX.

Claiming $ZEX

Where can I claim my $ZEX?
When can I claim my $ZEX?
What are the options for claiming my $ZEX?

You can choose to do any of the following:

What is the Immediate Claim?

The Immediate Claim allows users to claim their airdrop at any time. Users can claim all their allocations in full immediately from TGE, along with any portion of the 7-Day Bonus that has already unlocked.

As the 7-Day Bonus continues to unlock, a user opting for an Immediate Claim can claim a larger allocation until the maximum allocation is reached at the end of the 7-day period.

Once a user has claimed their allocation, they may then stake their tokens.

Do I lose out on the staking airdrop if I don’t instant claim and wait for the 7d bonus?
How do I maximize my staking bonus?

tl;dr stake early, stake more & stake for longer!

A user's average govZ will be calculated by sampling gZEX randomly every hour over the course of the epoch. Based on a staker’s average gZEX over the epoch, they will receive a proportional share of the staking airdrop.

For example, if my average gZEX over the first epoch is 100 and the total average gZEX is 10,000, I would receive 1% of the Staking Airdrop.
