Step 0. Go to the claims.lavanet.xyz

You can claim your airdrop by visiting: https://claims.lavanet.xyz.
‍

Please note

‍https://claims.lavanet.xyz is the only way to access the Vesuvius Airdrop. Neither the claiming site nor any member of the Lava Foundation will ever ask you to enter your private key or transfer tokens of any kind from your wallet.

Step 1. Check your eligibility against different criterion

Once you are at the checker, go through each eligibility criteria to check whether you are eligible for LAVA distribution. You may be eligible for more than one EVM wallet, more than one Github, more than one Discord etc. - make sure you check each criterion with different accounts.
‍

Note: at this stage, you do NOT need to connect your wallet or sign any transactions to check your eligibility. Simply copy and paste your address.

Step 2. Verify eligibility

If you are eligible for distribution, you will be informed but must first verify your eligibility by connecting your wallet.

Follow the instructions to connect your wallet and then sign a transaction, confirming address ownership.
‍

Other eligibility criterion will also require you to verify account ownership e.g. Discord:

Step 3. Once verified, see how much LAVA you are eligible for

At this point you will be able to see how much LAVA you have been rewarded with.

Step 4. Submit your Lava address

Once you have verified eligibility, you must connect and sign a transaction with a Lava wallet address. LAVA will be distributed to your wallet once Mainnet is open.

‍

Lava is a standard Cosmos appchain and can be added in Cosmos wallets such as Keplr or Leap.

Make sure to sign a transaction with your Lava wallet to verify ownership.

Step 5. Share on Twitter & join Discord

There’s an eruption coming - Lava is taking a new approach with our mainnet and token launch.

‍

Join the community of communities in our Discord and participate in games, quests and vibes as we move towards Mainnet.

‍

‍

Step 6. You’re done! Wait for distribution at Mainnet

‍

Conclusion

Lava will be airdropped automatically when Lava Mainnet is announced, to qualifying addresses that successfully complete their claim verification, before the cut-off date.

‍

The Vesuvius airdrop is not a normal airdrop. We are building towards a decentralized and community-driven blockchain ecosystem.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach Mainnet launch. Eruption is near.
