AFX Airdrop Details

The team has confirmed is a Mainnet Points Program (live since May 25, 2026) where accumulated points convert to AFX tokens at TGE, with roughly 65% of the total token supply reserved for the community.

Key Parameters:

Airdrop Allocation: ~65% of total AFX supply reserved for the community via points
Distribution Method: Multi-season points program; points settle weekly and convert to tokens at TGE
TGE Date: Not announced
Vesting Schedule: 100% unlocked at TGE for the Genesis airdrop (27% of supply)

The program runs across three consecutive seasons, each with its own points pool, and points never reset or expire between seasons. Season 2 starts soon while Season 1 ended on July 20, 2026, running for eight weeks and distributing 3.48M points. Points come from three sources: trading (scored on volume, open interest, and market diversity rather than raw volume alone), time-weighted LP Vault deposits, and Guild activity. Distributions happen every Monday at 00:00 UTC.

Disclaimer: AFX recently reported a security incident affecting its custom custody bridge. The exploit did not affect the underlying Layer 1 or the native Arbitrum bridge, but users should review the team’s latest security updates and assess the risks before depositing funds.

How to Farm the AFX Airdrop

Step 1: Create Your AFX Account

Visit AFX and connect your wallet or sign up. Complete the basic onboarding so you can deposit and trade.

Step 2: Fund Your Trading Account

To deposit USDC via Arbitrum, use the deposit option in the app. If you need to purchase USDC first, you can buy it on Bybit, then withdraw it to your wallet or use the widget below to swap or bridge it into the asset you plan to deposit.

Step 3: Trade Perpetuals on AFX

Open positions on the AFX trade page using market or limit orders with up to 100x leverage. Trading is the main points source, and the scoring model rewards execution quality, held open interest, and activity across multiple markets. Spreading trades across a few markets, such as BTC, gold, and an equity perp, counts for more than grinding volume on a single pair.

Step 4: Deposit to the LP Vault

Go to the vaults section and deposit into the ALP vault. Deposits earn real yield (currently around 13.67% APY) plus points that are time-weighted, so capital left in longer earns more. Trading and LP points accrue separately, and you can do both at once.

Step 5: Join a Guild

Find a Captain invite link in the AFX Discord and join a Guild. Your trading volume counts toward your Guild’s total, which adds shared team rewards on top of your individual points.

Step 6: Track and Claim Points Weekly

Check the AFX points page every week. Estimates are shown ahead of time and points are auto-credited each Monday, so this is mostly about verifying your activity is being counted.

Tips for Maximizing AFX Points

Hold positions instead of scalping only: Open interest is weighted in the scoring model. Keeping positions open contributes points that pure in-and-out volume misses.

Stack all three point sources: Trading, LP Vault deposits, and Guild membership accrue independently. Running all three at once compounds your share of each weekly pool.

Use the Affiliate Program if you have an audience: Referring traders pays up to 35% of their fees as commission, and referral activity feeds the same ecosystem your points depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will the AFX airdrop happen?

No TGE date has been announced. Points from all three seasons convert to AFX tokens at the token generation event. Season 2 starts soon and Season 1 ended on July 20, 2026, so a launch would come after the seasons conclude.

Is the AFX airdrop free to farm?

Not entirely. Trading and LP Vault deposits require real capital, and leveraged positions carry liquidation risk. The Galxe onboarding quest and Guild membership cost nothing beyond the trading you were already doing.

How do AFX points convert to tokens?

All points accumulated across the three seasons become redeemable for AFX tokens at TGE. The exact conversion rate has not been published, but around 65% of the total supply is set aside for the community.

What happens if I miss part of Season 1?

Points never reset or expire between seasons, so late starters keep everything they earn. You cannot recover missed weekly distributions, though, since each week’s pool settles every Monday.

Do testnet participants get anything?

Yes, the earlier testnet (April 2026) offered points that are also convertible to tokens. Testnet activity and mainnet points are tracked separately, so mainnet farming still matters.

Conclusion

AFX pairs a live, high-volume perp DEX with one of the larger community allocations in the category: roughly 65% of supply distributed through points, with no VC unlock schedule competing against farmers. The playbook is straightforward. Trade consistently across markets, park capital in the ALP vault, join a Guild, and collect weekly distributions until TGE. Season 2 begins soon, so starting now costs nothing in lost progress.

Trade perps

What is AFX?

AFX is a sovereign Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for decentralized perpetuals trading. Instead of deploying a perp DEX on an existing chain, the team built its own execution layer with sub-100ms finality, zero gas fees, and a fully on-chain central limit order book. The result feels closer to a centralized exchange than a typical DeFi protocol, while matching and settlement stay verifiable on-chain.

AFX raised no VC or private funding. The team skipped investor rounds entirely in favor of a community-first launch, which has direct consequences for how the future token gets distributed.
