Method 1: Claiming Desmos with Keplr

Welcome page

Go to go-find.me. Click the “Use Keplr” button, then approve the Chain Add Request to add Desmos to Keplr.

Dtag creation

Choose your Dtag. This is a unique username, which must be 6–30 characters and can contain numbers and underscores. Consider whether you want your identity to be linked to this account when selecting.

Profile creation

You must fill in at least one of the fields (Nickname, Profile picture, Cover, or Bio). Then click “Save changes”. Approve the account creation transaction, then click the “Airdrop” button.

Please note: You will need to obtain some DSM to pay for the profile creation transaction. You can do so by using your new DSM address with the Telegram Faucet. You may need to wait a minute or two for the transaction.

Connect chains

After the profile is created, a new button will appear, “Connect a Blockchain”. Click this button to connect all chains for which you have received a Desmos allocation. Each chain must be connected individually. You will have to scroll to the right to view more chains. Approve each transaction.

Please note: Although the UI states that Ledger connection is available, as of 11/28/21 Ledger is still unsupported using this method. Please find an alternative claim process using Ledger below.

Success

When you have connected all eligible chains, refresh the page. Then click the “Airdrop” button, then the “Claim” button. If the “Claim” button doesn’t pop up, wait a few minutes and refresh again or restart your browser.

The DSM will be credited to your address.

Method 2: Claming Desmos with a Ledger

Please note: This method requires the use of the Desmos Ledger app and the Forbole X Chrome extension. The team says that they are working on a Keplr/Ledger solution but it is not yet available.

Ledger Live setup

Open Ledger Live and connect and unlock your device. In the settings menu, enable “Developer mode”. Then use Manager to install the Desmos app. When this is done, close Ledger Live.

Connect and import Ledger

Go to the Forbole X dashboard, and use the link to download the Forbole X Chrome extension. You will be prompted to set a password and import or create a wallet. Select “Import Wallet”, then “Connect with Ledger Hardware Wallet”. You will be prompted to connect and unlock the Ledger device. At this time also open the Desmos app. Set a wallet name and select “DSM” to import, then sign the transaction on your Ledger to import the account.

Profile creation

Click on the “Wallet” tab, then the “Create Profile” button, then fill in at least one of the fields (Nickname, Profile picture, Cover, or Bio) as well as the DTag. The DTag is a unique username, which must be 6–30 characters and can contain numbers and underscores. Consider whether you want your identity to be linked to this account when selecting. Approve the account creation transaction on your Ledger.

Please note: You will need to obtain some DSM to pay for the profile creation transaction. You can do so by using your new DSM address with the Telegram Faucet. You may need to wait a minute or two for the transaction.

Connect chains

After the profile is created, the “Wallet” tab will change. There will now be a link below the profile picture reading “0 Connections(s)”. Click this, then “Connect with Ledger”, then the “Connect Chain” button, and select a chain to connect. You will be prompted to “Select Ledger App”. Quit the Desmos app on your Ledger device and open the Cosmos app, then click next.

Connect chains, continued

A list of addresses will appear. It may take a bit for it to load. Your Keplr address should be #0 unless you have set up a custom derivation path. Select the address to connect, then click to confirm the transaction and sign it on your Ledger device. After you sign this transaction, another window will pop up asking to sign a transaction on the Desmos chain. Quit the Cosmos app on your Ledger device and open the Desmos app, then confirm and sign the transaction. Repeat this process for all chains for which you have received a Desmos allocation. Each chain must be connected individually.

Success

After you have connected every eligible chain, click back to the “Portfolio” tab, then click on the “DSM Airdrop” banner. Follow the prompts to enter one of your eligible addresses, then click “Claim Now”. Select your DSM account, then click “Get Started”, then “Claim Now” (again). If you get an error, refresh and try again.

The DSM will be credited to your address.
