Matchain Airdrop Update: Quarterly Unlocks (Six Rounds)

TL;DR
We’re running 6 more airdrop rounds from the airdrop pool on a quarterly cadence: Oct 19, 2025 → Jan 19, 2026 → Apr 19, 2026 → Jul 19, 2026 → Oct 19, 2026 → Jan 19, 2027, and continuing on that three-month rhythm.
Eligibility = your Level from the last airdrop + staking requirement (or the official liquid-staking token) held continuously during each round.
Reward split per round: Level 3 = 40%, Level 2 = 30%, Level 1 = 30%, shared equally among eligible wallets in each level.

Quarterly Unlocks — Public Schedule

Who’s Eligible

1) You must still meet the baseline requirements used in the last airdrop

• MatchID set up and at least Identity Level 1 (use the Telegram account connected to your MatchQuest points).
  
  
• Link wallets that show real Matchain usage.
  
  
• Follow @Matchain_io on X (Twitter).
  
  
• Post a tweet about Matchain.
  
  
• Connect MatchID with MatchQuest (Telegram) so we can see your points/progress.
  
  
• Hold ≥ $1 BNB on Matchain Network in your MatchID-bound wallet.
  
  
• If you’re new: complete the steps above before the snapshot you want to qualify for.
  
  

2) Your Level from the last airdrop carries forward
Your starting Level for these rounds is the highest Level you achieved in the previous airdrop (Level 1–3).

3) Staking requirement per Level (direct stake or liquid staking token)

• Level 1: Stake ≥ 10 stMAT (or hold ≥ 10 MAT in the official liquid staking token)
  
  
• Level 2: Stake ≥ 100 stMAT (or hold LST equal to ≥ 100 MAT in the official liquid staking token)
  
  
• Level 3: Stake ≥ 1,000 stMAT (or hold LST equal to ≥ 1,000 MAT in the official liquid staking token)
  
  

Holding the liquid staking token (LST) for the required amount counts exactly like direct staking for Level eligibility.

Rewards Split (per round)

• 40% of the round’s pool → Level 3 (shared equally among Level 3–eligible wallets)
  
  
• 30% → Level 2 (shared equally among Level 2–eligible wallets)
  
  
• 30% → Level 1 (shared equally among Level 1–eligible wallets)
  
  

Example: If a round allocates 300,000 tokens:

• Level 3 pool: 120,000 (shared equally across L3-eligible wallets)
  
  
• Level 2 pool: 90,000 (shared equally across L2-eligible wallets)
  
  
• Level 1 pool: 90,000 (shared equally across L1-eligible wallets)
  
  

Anti-Gaming & Continuity Rules

To keep things fair and aligned with real participation:

Continuous Tier Requirement:
For each round, you must maintain at least your Level’s stake (or LST balance) from snapshot to the next round’s eve.

If you drop below your Level’s threshold during a round (via unstaking/selling LST), you forfeit eligibility for that round.

Stake/Unstake Churn:
Frequent staking/unstaking during a round may be flagged and can result in disqualification for that round.

Identity Integrity:
Accounts failing identity integrity checks (e.g., mismatched MatchID ↔ MatchQuest Telegram; sybil patterns) may be disqualified.

Reminder: Matchain delegate staking has an unbonding period. Plan ahead so you don’t accidentally drop below your Level during a round.

How to Prepare (Step-by-Step)

Before each quarterly snapshot on the 19th (UTC):

1. Complete baseline tasks: MatchID L1, link wallets, follow + tweet, MatchQuest connect (Telegram), hold ≥ $1 BNB on Matchain Network.
   
   
2. Choose staking method:
   
   
   
   • Delegate stake MAT to meet your Level threshold, or
     
     
   • Acquire/hold the official MAT liquid staking token (LST) in the required amount.
     
     
3. Verify connections: Confirm MatchID ↔ MatchQuest ↔ Telegram are connected so we can read your points/Level.
   
   
4. Don’t dip below your Level: Keep your stake/LST at or above the threshold through the whole round.
   
   
5. Mark the dates: snapshot on the 19th, distribution on the 20th (UTC).
   
   

FAQs

Q1: I was Level 2 last airdrop, but I only stake 10 MAT now. What happens?
You’ll only qualify for Level 1 in that round. Your final Level for a round is the minimum of (a) your last-airdrop Level and (b) the stake/LST tier you maintain during the round.

Q2: Can I upgrade my Level?
Yes—if you held a lower Level last airdrop, you can only go up to that historical Level maximum. Within that cap, your maintained stake/LST determines the Level you receive for that round.

Q3: Do centralized exchange balances count as “staking”?
No. Only on-chain delegated stake or the official MAT liquid staking token in your eligible wallet counts.

Q4: If I increase my stake mid-round, does it apply immediately?
Yes, as long as you meet and maintain the threshold before the snapshot and do not drop below during the round. The snapshot determines inclusion; continuity keeps you eligible.

Q5: I qualify on Oct 19. Do I automatically qualify for Jan 19?
No. Each round is independent. To qualify for Jan 19, keep your Level’s threshold continuously through the round leading to that snapshot (and likewise for subsequent snapshots on Apr 19, Jul 19, Oct 19, Jan 19).

Q6: How are rewards sent?
Rewards are distributed on-chain to the eligible wallet(s) tied to your MatchID after each round. We’ll share the distribution tx/summary with the round recap.

Q7: What if my Telegram or wallet isn’t correctly linked?
If we can’t verify your identity/usage/points due to a missing link, we can’t count you. Double-check your MatchID ↔ MatchQuest (Telegram) and linked wallets.
