Step 4— Create Permits

The permit created will automatically display your SCRT address attached to your current active session. This is where you airdrop will be sent to unless you paste an alternative SCRT address that you would like your airdrop to be sent to.
The “Master Account” is an address will be where all of your “claimed” addresses will send their SHD airdrop to. Once you have pasted your desired address, click “Next”.
Note, make sure this is an address that you are in possession of!
Step 6 — Claim Airdrop

A Keplr pop-up will occur asking you to claim your airdrop via a small SCRT gas fee.
