How to claim your pStake airdrop: a thorough walkthrough by Cosmostation

With the announcement of launching $pSTAKE, the governance token of pSTAKE, 6% of the total genesis supply are being given out as airdrop on airdrop.pstake.finance. In this article, Cosmostation will walk you through the airdrop, explaining the claim process step by step with matching screenshots.

Who gets the airdrop?

First of all, the $pSTAKE(ERC-20) airdrops will be distributed to significant contributors of pSTAKE ecosystem such as: Cosmos ATOM & Persistence XPRT holders/stakers, early users of pSTAKE, users of other significant DeFi protocols, and stakedrop participants.

If you are a holder/staker of $ATOM or $XPRT, you must have held your tokens at the time of screenshot, 12PM UTC, Thursday, 2nd September, 2021, to be able to claim for the airdrop tokens. Before you apply for the airdrop token, you must first check if your wallet is eligible for the airdrop on the official website. In order to find out the eligibility of your wallet, follow the steps below.

Checking for Eligibility

  1. Go to https://airdrop.pstake.finance/

2. Select the chain of your eligible wallet: Cosmos or Persistence

3. Enter your wallet address and click on “Verify Wallet”

4. If your wallet is eligible for the airdrop, you will be required to set your Ethereum wallet address for the $pSTAKE tokens.

5. Once the claim has been submitted, you can check your Ethereum address on “Claim Address”. You can re-do the steps to change your Ethereum address.

6. If your wallet is not eligible, you cannot claim the airdrop rewards.

How to Apply as an $ATOM Holder

3. Type “0.000001” in the amount, then click “Next”.

4. In the memo, insert your Ethereum address which will be receiving the airdropped $pSTAKE tokens. (NOTE: Insert your PERSONAL Ethereum address such as Metamask, not an exchange address. We do not guarantee the safety of Metamask. Ethereum address starts with “0x…” . NEVER INSERT AN EXCHANGE ADDRESS)

5. Set the transaction fee then click “Next”

6. Double-check your Send Amount, Recipient Address and Memo(your ETH address).
