ChainGrid says KYC verification will open on July 1, 2026, a move the project links to future withdrawals and stronger account security across its network.
The update was posted through the project’s official X account, along with the full eligibility criteria. Users must meet all three conditions at the same time to unlock KYC inside the app: a minimum balance of 200 GridPoints, at least 5 invited friends through a referral code, and no fewer than 10 separate mining sessions in the last 30 days. Missing one condition blocks access to verification.
KYC access tied to balance, referrals, and recent mining activity
Based on the rules released so far, ChainGrid is tying verification access to three things at once: account holdings, referral growth, and recent activity. The company describes this as a preparatory step before opening withdrawals and other functions, including transfers.
The sharpest reaction has focused on the referral threshold. On social media, a number of solo miners have asked the project to remove the 5-referral requirement, saying it makes verification harder for users who mine consistently but do not build a larger invite network. The debate is less about KYC itself and more about who will actually qualify once the process goes live.
Mobile mining model remains active while listing timeline stays unclear
ChainGrid operates as a mobile Web3 mining app available through the Google Play Store. Users earn GridPoints through daily mining sessions, missions, and referrals, without dedicated mining hardware. The app also uses a rank structure that moves from Wood to Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Master, and Grandmaster, depending on user activity and network growth.
The project says it has more than 15,000 active miners, with mined value reaching $2.5 million so far. It also lists 99.9% uptime and round-the-clock user support on the platform.
GridPoints conversion plan and airdrop expectations remain in focus
According to the project, GridPoints earned in the app are intended to convert into GridCoin, or $GDC. Total supply is capped at 100 million, a figure ChainGrid presents as part of its scarcity model.
No date has been confirmed for either a mainnet launch or an exchange listing. ChainGrid has described KYC as one step toward later development, but it has not published a timetable for trading or a token generation event.
An airdrop is also part of the plan and is tied directly to mining activity rather than separate task flows. The report notes that in October 2025, part of a giveaway was carried out through airdrop aggregator sites, though that distribution was task-based rather than a pure free drop. As the network grows, community attention is now turning to whether another round of GridCoin distribution will follow, with early miners seen as likely candidates for a larger share.
Before July 1 arrives, the key question is whether ChainGrid keeps the 5-referral rule unchanged. That single requirement could have a direct effect on how many miners are able to complete verification when KYC opens.
