From Airdrop to Claim: The Rules Come Into Focus

After the postponement, the community was waiting for more than a new date: it needed to know how eligibility would work. People had called the event an “airdrop,” as if tokens would arrive automatically. The Sentry Key snapshot had remained pending, and badge holders and paying key holders did not know whether claiming would require the same steps.

The official rules first corrected the term: this was not a traditional automatic airdrop but a claim that users had to initiate. There were three paths to eligibility, and one was enough: a Legendary or Pioneer badge from Odyssey's first phase, the corresponding badge from its second phase, or at least one Sentry Key. Eligible users would have to connect their own wallets and pay gas fees on the parent chain. Identity verification also differed: people claiming solely through Odyssey badges did not need it because they had not paid for that qualification; Sentry Key holders did need it. By that evening, all snapshots had been taken. Officials again warned that claiming had not begun and that fake links were a danger.

The node snapshot that had still been pending the previous day was complete, and the eligibility boundaries were clearer. A completed snapshot did not mean tokens could already be claimed. Some found it awkward that those who had paid faced identity checks, while others began checking their wallets and parent-chain gas funds. The community still needed an official opening and an updated schedule; the narrator warned against treating any early claim page as official.
