The XDAO airdrop is still active, and the process has moved on since the original June 2026 announcement. XDAO confirmed the airdrop is tied to its Token Generation Event (TGE) preparation, and the project has since opened Solana wallet registration for participants. Claiming itself has not opened yet.
This guide covers where things stand right now: who qualifies, how to register, and what to expect before tokens actually distribute.
XDAO is a multi-chain platform that lets groups create and manage on-chain organizations without writing code. The platform has run since 2021 and says it has supported more than 35,000 organizations across 45+ blockchains, according to its official project bio on X.
The airdrop is built around XDAO's Telegram-based educational campaign, which the project says onboarded over 12 million users. People who completed that campaign, and those who went further and created their own DAO, are both in line for tokens. XDAO officially confirmed it had started preparing for its TGE on June 1, 2026.
The original eligibility announcement from June 1 set two tiers: campaign participants received a base allocation, and users who also created a DAO and met the stated conditions received a larger one. That basic split still applies.
Since then, the project's TONxDAO Mini App has made the mechanism more concrete. According to the app's own airdrop notices, only the first 100,000 on-chain DAOs qualify for the creation-based reward, and the cost of creating a DAO rises gradually as more organizations are created. Participation rewards, tied to completing the educational campaign, remain claimable through personal wallets.
If you're unsure where you stand, the safest way to check is inside the official TONxDAO Mini App itself rather than relying on third-party trackers.
Claiming isn't open yet, but registration and eligibility checks are. Here's the current process:
Step 1: Open the XDAO TON Mini App: This is the same bot used during the educational campaign and DAO creation phase.
Step 2: Check your airdrop eligibility: The app shows your current status based on your campaign participation and any DAOs you've created or joined.
Step 3: Verify your Telegram and TON account: Your existing TON wallet, linked during the campaign, needs to stay connected to your account.
Step 4: Register your Solana wallet: The app asks for a non-custodial Solana address through a "Sign with TON" flow. You can change this address later if needed.
Step 5: Complete the required signature: This confirms wallet ownership without granting spending access.
Step 6: Wait for the official claim window: According to the project, actual claiming will open after the TGE, not before.
The educational campaign was the Telegram-based program that introduced users to DAO creation, governance rules, treasury management, wallet connections, and the platform's built-in DeFi tools. It ran for months and is one of the largest DAO onboarding efforts of its kind, according to the project's own figures.
Completing this campaign is still the baseline requirement for the airdrop's participation tier. The campaign phase itself has concluded, so this is now a historical qualifying event rather than something new users can join.
XDAO's core activity, including the educational campaign and DAO creation, runs through the TON network. The token itself is expected to launch with a significant presence on Solana. In its TGE preparation announcement, the team said the token will most likely be issued with Solana as a major launch network, given the project's cross-chain design.
This is why Solana wallet registration is a separate, required step from anything completed during the TON-based campaign. A TON account alone doesn't guarantee you can receive tokens if the primary distribution runs through Solana. Registering a non-custodial Solana wallet through the Mini App is currently the only way to prepare for that.
Yes, but "claim" is the wrong word for where things stand today. Here's what you can actually do right now:
Open the TONxDAO Mini App and check whether your account shows as eligible.
Confirm your eligibility is tied to the same TON account and wallet used during your campaign activity or DAO participation.
Register a Solana wallet if you haven't already, since this is required separately from your TON account.
Understand that the app does not yet have an active claim button. According to the project, that function activates after the TGE.
If your account doesn't show as eligible, there's currently no appeal process described by the team beyond the wallet-recovery option built into the bot for lost TON wallet access.
Here's the sequence so far, based on official announcements:
June 1, 2026: XDAO confirmed it had started preparing for its TGE and updated airdrop eligibility to include all educational campaign participants.
June 10, 2026: A dedicated bot launched with detailed airdrop instructions, and Solana wallet collection began shortly after.
Since then: The project has continued running Solana wallet registration through the Mini App. No exchange listing or exact TGE date has been confirmed by the team.
Market commentary has pointed to a Q4 2026 window, broadly October through December, as the likely period for listing. This is not an official date. XDAO's own channels have said tokenomics, listing, and TGE details will be shared directly by the team closer to launch, and that any specific date or number circulating elsewhere should be treated as unverified.
Fake claim sites: No claim function exists yet. Any website or bot asking you to "claim now" before an official TGE announcement is not legitimate.
Seed phrase requests: XDAO will never ask for your seed phrase or private key during eligibility checks or wallet registration.
Unofficial TGE dates: The team has explicitly said that dates, figures, or insider claims about the TGE from outside its own channels should be treated as speculation.
Lookalike bots: Only use the bot link shared through XDAO's verified Telegram community and its official X account. Always cross-check the bot username against what's listed on xdao.app.
The XDAO airdrop remains active, with eligibility now checked directly inside the TONxDAO Mini App rather than through a separate sign-up. Educational campaign participants and DAO creators are both covered, Solana wallet registration is a required extra step, and claiming itself won't open until after the TGE. No listing date or exact token distribution timeline has been officially confirmed as of this writing.
