This sets the stage for the distribution of MON tokens to early and active contributors ahead of the network’s eventual mainnet.

Earlier this year, the Foundation opened its airdrop claim portal on October 14, inviting users to link wallets, verify eligibility, and connect social accounts ahead of the distribution.

The portal allowed eligible users across five tracks, including core Monad community members to on-chain DeFi users and broader crypto participants, to register their claim status.

According to the foundation’s blog at the time, the allocation is designed to reward approximately 5,500 key community contributors and around 225,000 broader crypto users, via a stacked allocation model if a user qualifies under multiple tracks.

The share of tokens becoming available to these communities is still not known, but Monad co-founder Keone Hon did post on X earlier this year that there would be 100 billion MON tokens.
