Airdrop
The Monolythium Airdrop distributes LYTH tokens to eligible participants at mainnet launch. Eligibility is based on a combination of Cosmos ecosystem activity, EVM DeFi usage, and mandatory testnet task completion.
Eligibility Overview
To qualify for the airdrop, you must meet both of the following:
- Snapshot criteria -- Activity in the Cosmos or EVM ecosystems captured during the snapshot window
- Testnet tasks -- 4 mandatory on-chain actions on Monolythium Testnet
Meeting the snapshot criteria alone is not sufficient. You must also complete the testnet tasks to activate your claim.
Cosmos Snapshot Criteria
The Cosmos snapshot captures active participants across the Cosmos ecosystem. Qualifying activities include:
ATOM Stakers
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Token | ATOM (Cosmos Hub) |
| Minimum stake | 10 ATOM delegated to any active validator |
| Snapshot timing | Captured at an unannounced block height |
| Exclusions | Exchange-custodied ATOM does not count |
Osmosis Liquidity Providers
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Platform | Osmosis DEX |
| Qualifying pools | Any active LP position at snapshot |
| Minimum value | $50 USD equivalent in pool assets |
| Bonded LPs | Bonded (locked) positions receive a 1.5x multiplier |
Governance Voters
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Chains | Cosmos Hub, Osmosis, or any IBC-connected chain |
| Activity | Voted on at least 1 governance proposal in the past 6 months |
| Vote type | Yes, No, Abstain, and NoWithVeto all qualify |
The exact snapshot block heights are not announced in advance to prevent gaming. They are revealed after the snapshot is taken.
EVM Snapshot Criteria
The EVM snapshot targets active DeFi users across 6 chains where MonoHub contracts are deployed.
Qualifying Chains
| Chain | Chain ID | What Qualifies |
|---|---|---|
| Avalanche | 43114 | DEX trades, LP positions, lending/borrowing |
| Linea | 59144 | DEX trades, bridge activity, LP positions |
| Sei | 1329 | DEX trades, staking, LP positions |
| Cronos | 25 | DEX trades, LP positions, yield farming |
| Kava | 2222 | Lending, LP positions, staking |
| Injective | 1776 | DEX trades, LP positions, orderbook activity |
Requirements
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Minimum activity | At least 5 DeFi transactions on any qualifying chain |
| Time window | Activity within the 6 months preceding the snapshot |
| Wallet type | Must be an EOA (externally owned account), not a contract |
| Multi-chain bonus | Active on 3+ chains: 1.25x multiplier; 5+ chains: 1.5x multiplier |
Testnet Tasks (Mandatory)
Regardless of snapshot eligibility, all claimants must complete these 4 tasks on Monolythium Testnet (Chain ID: 6940):
| # | Task | How to Complete | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Connect wallet | Visit monohub.xyz and sign a wallet connection | On-chain signature |
| 2 | Claim faucet | Request testnet LYTH from the faucet | Faucet transaction |
| 3 | Execute a swap | Swap any token pair on MonoSwap | Swap event on-chain |
| 4 | Stake LYTH | Delegate any amount of LYTH to a validator | Delegate message on-chain |
These tasks are the same as Phases 1-3 of the Quest Guide. If you have completed those phases, your testnet tasks are already done.
Snapshot eligibility alone does not activate your airdrop claim. You must complete all 4 testnet tasks before the claim deadline. There are no exceptions.
Vesting Schedule
Airdrop tokens are distributed on a vesting schedule to prevent immediate sell pressure and reward long-term holders.
| Component | Amount | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Initial claim | 15% of allocation | Available at mainnet claim opening |
| Linear vest | 85% of allocation | Released daily over 90 days |

How Vesting Works
- At claim opening, 15% of your allocation is immediately transferable
- The remaining 85% vests linearly -- each day for 90 days, approximately 0.94% of your total allocation becomes claimable
- You can claim accumulated vested tokens at any time (no need to claim daily)
- Unclaimed tokens remain in the vesting contract until you claim them -- they do not expire
Claim Timeline
| Event | Timing |
|---|---|
| Snapshot taken | Before mainnet launch (unannounced block height) |
| Snapshot revealed | At mainnet launch |
| Eligibility checker live | At mainnet launch |
| Claim opens | Within 7 days of mainnet launch |
| Testnet task deadline | 30 days after claim opens |
| Vesting completes | 90 days after claim opens |
| Unclaimed tokens reclaimed | 180 days after claim opens |
Unclaimed tokens (including unvested amounts not yet claimed) are reclaimed by the protocol treasury 180 days after the claim opens. Do not wait until the last minute.
Allocation Multipliers
Certain activities increase your base allocation:
| Multiplier | Condition | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1.25x | Active on 3+ EVM chains | 25% bonus on base allocation |
| 1.5x | Active on 5+ EVM chains | 50% bonus on base allocation |
| 1.5x | Bonded Osmosis LP | 50% bonus on Cosmos allocation |
| 2x | Completed all 5 campaign phases | Double your base allocation |
| 1.5x | Staking multiplier (restaked within 48h) | See Staking Bonus |
Multipliers stack multiplicatively. For example, a user with 5+ EVM chains (1.5x) and all 5 campaign phases (2x) receives 3x their base allocation.
Checking Eligibility
After the snapshot is revealed at mainnet launch:
- Visit monohub.xyz/airdrop
- Connect your wallet
- The eligibility checker shows your qualifying criteria, multipliers, and estimated allocation
- Complete any remaining testnet tasks if needed
- Claim your tokens once the claim period opens
FAQ
Can I qualify with multiple wallets?
Each wallet is evaluated independently. You cannot combine activity from multiple wallets into a single claim.
Do exchange wallets qualify?
No. Tokens held on centralized exchanges do not count for any snapshot criteria. You must use a self-custodied wallet (MetaMask, Keplr, Leap, etc.).
What if I completed testnet tasks but do not meet any snapshot criteria?
You do not qualify for the airdrop. Both components are required.
Is the airdrop available in all jurisdictions?
The airdrop is subject to geographic restrictions. See Terms of Service for details.
Will there be more airdrops?
This is the genesis airdrop. Future distribution events will be announced separately if they occur.
