USD.AI has opened the KYC/AML process tied to its airdrop and released the timeline for the upcoming $CHIP token sale and token generation event. According to the published schedule, the CoinList sale will run from February 22 at 11:00 PM UTC to February 27 at 11:00 PM UTC, while the TGE is expected on March 2, 2026. That date is widely seen as the likely listing window, but no exchange has formally confirmed support.
Airdrop allocates 300,000,000 CHIP with full unlock at TGE
The project says the airdrop reserve is 300,000,000 $CHIP, equal to 3% of total supply, and the entire amount will be fully unlocked at TGE. Tokens are set to be sent automatically to eligible wallets, with no separate claim step and no minimum threshold stated. Eligibility still depends on meeting the platform’s alignment rules.
The listed requirements include participation in Season 1 of the Allo Game, alignment in at least one strategy labeled “ICO” or “crypto Airdrop,” and wallet setup on the official platform. USD.AI also says that unaligned points will burn after February 18.
CoinList sale limits access to Allo Game users
Participation in the CoinList sale is restricted to users who joined the Allo Game, and guaranteed allocations are based on points earned in that system. The sale price is set at $0.03, implying a fully diluted valuation of $300 million. The offering covers 700,000,000 $CHIP, or 7% of total supply. Total supply is listed at 10,000,000,000 tokens, the minimum purchase is $100, and distribution will go directly to whitelisted wallets.
The sale structure also allows oversubscription. If any tokens remain unsold, they will be redistributed on a pro-rata basis, which can increase final allocations for participants with higher contributions. The compliance requirement is fixed: all participants must complete KYC/AML between February 9 and February 27.
Project cites funding, trading volume, and GPU loan pipeline
USD.AI describes itself as a stablecoin protocol built around GPU-backed lending. The material says the project has raised $17.4 million from YZi Labs, Dragonfly, Framework Ventures, Coinbase, and others. It also reports more than $7.7 billion in trading volume, a $1.5 billion-plus pipeline, and plans for the first $100 million in GPU loans in Q1 2026.
Additional operating metrics listed in the source include a current price of $1.000 with zero daily change, a market cap of $552,328,674, matching FDV of $552,328,674, volume of $2,993,892, and an all-time high of $1.19. The protocol’s current APR is 6.58%, expected APR is 10.48%, and Coinlaunch assigns a trust score of 69/100.
March 2 remains an expected TGE date, not a confirmed listing
The published unlock schedule points to 100% unlock at TGE on March 2, 2026. That has led many to treat the date as the probable listing point for $CHIP, yet no exchange confirmation has been announced. For users considering the airdrop or the token sale, the active checkpoints are still the same: eligibility, alignment status, wallet setup, and the KYC/AML window.
