The IOST L1 Airdrop Is Now Live — Here’s What You Need to Know

We are excited to announce that the claiming period for the IOST L1 Exclusive Airdrop is now officially open. This marks a major milestone in IOST’s transition to a Layer 2 network and our commitment to rewarding long-time community members.

If you held IOST tokens on the original Layer 1 chain at the time of the snapshot, you are now eligible to claim your portion of the airdrop allocation. This is an exclusive opportunity for early IOST participants to be rewarded for their loyalty and long-term engagement.

Following the launch of the L1 Airdrop claiming period, IOST is preparing to introduce its StakeDrop campaign: a new incentive program designed to reward users who stake IOST on the BNB Chain. With flexible lock-up options and reward multipliers, the StakeDrop aims to attract long-term participants and deepen engagement within the evolving IOST 3.0 ecosystem. Full details and participation guidelines will be announced soon.
