The LayerZero ZRO airdrop Season 2 snapshot is scheduled for May 2026, with the claim window expected to extend into June, according to the project's official roadmap. Season 1 distributed 85 million ZRO (8.5% of the 1 billion total supply) to 1.28 million addresses between June and September 2024.
153 Million Tokens Reserved for Community Distributions
Official tokenomics allocate 15.3% of the total supply (153 million ZRO) specifically for future community programs, including direct wallet rewards. Season 2 will tap into this pool.
Eligibility Criteria: Real Usage, Consistency, Multi-Chain Footprint
Drawing from Season 1's model and public communications from the team, Season 2 eligibility is expected to prioritize:
• Genuine protocol messages: Every message sent through LayerZero is recorded. Season 1 rewarded frequency and consistency over one-off volume spikes. Transactions under $1 were deweighted by 80% in Season 1 — that rule is likely to persist.
• Providing liquidity on Stargate: As the flagship bridge, Stargate liquidity provision carried a multiplier in community-modelled eligibility scenarios.
• Holding Omnichain Fungible Tokens (OFTs) built on LayerZero at snapshot time signals deep ecosystem engagement beyond simple bridging.
• Interacting across multiple chains: Wallets touching several chains through LayerZero infrastructure demonstrate exactly what the protocol was designed for.
Claim Process: Proof-of-Donation Required
When claims open, eligible users visit layerzero.foundation/claim, connect a wallet, and check their allocation. Claiming requires a Proof-of-Donation: $0.10 in USDC, USDT, or ETH per ZRO token, with proceeds going to the Protocol Guild. The foundation matches donations up to $10 million.
Tokens are claimable on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Polygon. After claiming, tokens can be bridged via Stargate to any of ZRO's 70+ supported chains.
Security Warning: Beware Fake Sites
Multiple fake “LayerZero Season 2 claim” sites are already live. The team will only ever announce claims via their official X account and layerzero-foundation. Never connect your wallet to any other domain.
