About GRVT
GRVT is a derivatives exchange that splits the difference between centralised and decentralised design. Order matching happens off chain for speed, settlement happens on chain, and a zero knowledge proof validium keeps positions private while custody stays segregated. It runs its own appchain on zkSync, which is what allows that combination to work.
The distribution was 280 million tokens, but not in one payment. Season 1 carried a pool of 100 million, with a further 180 million allocated to Season 2 and released across twelve months afterwards. The community allocation grew to 28% as activity on the platform increased, so the share was tied to how much the exchange was actually used rather than fixed in advance.
Points accrued weekly, 150,000 of them, spread across trading volume, sustained open interest, liquidity provision, capital committed to strategies, participation in liquidations and referrals. Altcoin perpetuals carried a 5x multiplier at TGE, which told farmers exactly where the exchange wanted volume. The registration detail mattered too: wallets registered before 17 July with a receiving chain selected were paid automatically, while everyone else had thirty days to claim by hand.
Airdrop Stats
How it worked to get the GRVT airdrop
Trade and hold open interest
Volume counted, but so did sustained open interest, so positions held over time scored alongside raw turnover rather than rewarding churn alone.
Favour altcoin perps
Altcoin perpetual markets carried a 5x multiplier toward the airdrop at TGE, the clearest signal GRVT gave about where it wanted liquidity.
Provide liquidity or run strategies
Liquidity provision, capital allocated to strategies and participation in liquidations all fed the weekly 150,000 point pool alongside trading.
Register before 17 July
Registering and selecting a receiving chain before 17 July 2026 meant the first batch arrived automatically, with no action needed at the TGE.
Or claim manually within 30 days
Anyone who had not registered had to claim by hand after distribution opened at 21:00 on 30 July 2026, with a thirty day window to do it.
Was the GRVT airdrop worth it?
- Registering early removed the risk entirely. Wallets registered before 17 July with a chain selected were paid automatically. Everyone else had thirty days and something to forget.
- It rewarded holding positions, not just churning volume. Sustained open interest counted alongside turnover, which is a harder metric to farm with wash trading.
- The community share grew with usage. Rising to 28% as activity increased ties the allocation to real platform growth rather than a number fixed before launch.
- Most of it was not paid at TGE. Season 1 was 100 million against Season 2's 180 million spread over twelve months, so the bulk of the distribution arrives across the following year.
- The 5x altcoin multiplier was a clear instruction. Farmers who read it traded altcoin perps. Those who did not left a large multiplier on the table.
