Aligned Opens Airdrop Check Ahead of ALIGN Listing After Shutting Down Its Most Mature Product Line

Aligned, a zero-knowledge infrastructure project spun out of LambdaClass, said its native token ALIGN will begin spot trading on Coinbase, Bitget and KuCoin, with the airdrop set to open when the token officially goes live. Coinbase has already enabled deposit address generation, though it had not announced a trading start time as of publication. The listing arrives after a controversial strategic shift: less than a month before TGE, Aligned retired its Proof Verification Layer, the project’s most mature product, despite it having verified more than 136,000 proofs and reached more than 50 operators at its peak. The move has pushed investors and users to re-examine the project’s business case. Aligned said it made the change because ZK technology has matured, Ethereum is moving toward native ZK support, and demand has tilted toward Ethereum-level security over ultra-low latency. Since the shutdown, operator count has fallen to about 26 and restaked capital stands at roughly $119 million. The project is now centered on its Proof Aggregation Service, which it says can cut costs by more than 90%, while several other pieces of its broader stack remain in development. ALIGN has a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, with about 16% expected to circulate at TGE. Updated token allocations from April 2026 set aside 23.50% for the team, 19.71% for investors, 18.00% for the ecosystem, 16.61% for future reserves, 11.40% for the foundation, 8.74% for airdrops and 2.04% for community sales.

ZK verification layer project Aligned said its native token, ALIGN, will go live at 23:00 on Aug. 20, with airdrop claims opening at the same time. The token has a total supply of 10 billion, and the initial circulating supply at the token generation event, or TGE, is set at about 16% of that amount.

The airdrop is split into three buckets: Airdrop 1 for the community, Airdrop 2 for projects that made notable contributions to Ethereum and zero-knowledge technology, and a separate allocation for ZK Arcade. Unlock schedules differ by category and by allocation size. For claim routing, Aligned set a 10,000 ALIGN threshold. Recipients allocated 10,000 ALIGN or less will claim on Base, while those allocated more than 10,000 ALIGN will claim on Ethereum mainnet.
