Genius Terminal Airdrop Details

Genius reserves 21% of the GENIUS supply for its community across three seasons, each worth 7%. Season 1 ended on April 12, 2026, and its claim closed after the April 13 TGE. Season 2 points are still being distributed, but Genius has not published a final end date or claim date for it, and Season 3 timing has not been announced.

Season 2 splits 200M GP into daily pools. Your share of each day’s pool equals your effective volume divided by total platform volume, and points are paid out weekly. Transaction count and referrals don’t earn GP. Genius also holds a 17M GP bonus pool for consistent, organic traders.

How to Participate in the Genius Airdrop

Step 1: Visit Genius Terminal

Go to the Genius Terminal sign-up page and choose Google, Apple, or wallet sign-in.

Step 2: Create Your TraderID

Enter a unique username of 6 to 20 characters on the “Welcome Genius” screen. This becomes your TraderID and leaderboard name. Set up a passkey or another 2FA method before you deposit.

Step 3: Fund Your Genius Wallet

Deposit assets using one of three options:

Transfer: Copy your Genius wallet address and send funds from an existing wallet on any supported chain
Buy: Use the Coinbase or Moonpay on-ramp with a card
Convert: Move spot balances to Hyperliquid USDC if you want to trade perpetuals

You can buy BNB, ETH, SOL, or USDC on Bybit, then use the widget below to move them onto the chain you plan to trade on.

Step 4: Trade Spot to Earn Season 2 GP

Open the swap interface and trade tokens on any supported chain. Your volume counts toward that day’s GP pool, and Genius distributes the points at the end of each week.

Step 5: Track Your Points Dashboard

Check the rewards section weekly to confirm your GP. Compare your share on high-volume days against quieter days to see where your trading gets the most points.

Step 6: Join Trading Competitions

Enter active events from the competitions tab. Prizes are paid separately from GP, but any volume you generate during a competition still counts toward your daily GP share.

Genius Season 1 Airdrop Claim Now Live (Ended)

The Genius Season 1 airdrop claim is live, distributing 70 million $GENIUS tokens through the Genius Foundation. Participants have a 7-day window to make their selection.

Visit the claim portal and connect your wallet
Review your token allocation and choose one of the following:
- Early Claim: Receive tokens immediately but forfeit 70% to a permanent burn (100 $GENIUS becomes 30 $GENIUS)
- 1-Year Lockup: Do nothing and let the window pass to lock your full allocation in a smart contract for one year with no penalty
- Refund (48h window only): Burn your entire allocation in exchange for net fees paid to Genius Terminal
Confirm your selection before the 7-day window closes

For refunds, note that cashback and referral rewards already claimed are deducted from your calculation, and fees paid to underlying DEXs like PancakeSwap aren’t included since Genius never collected those. Refunds arrive within 48 hours, and a dispute form opens one week post-TGE.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Was the Genius TGE?

The GENIUS token launched on April 13, 2026, alongside the Season 1 airdrop claim for 70 million GENIUS. The early claim window lasted seven days. Season 2 rewards will be distributed separately once Genius announces a snapshot and claim date.

Is the Genius Airdrop Free?

No. Genius Points come only from trading volume on Genius Terminal, so you need capital and will pay trading fees. Social tasks and referrals don’t earn GP in Season 2. Cashback from higher fee tiers offsets part of the cost for active traders.

How Do Genius Points Convert to GENIUS Tokens?

Each season has a fixed GENIUS allocation of 7% of supply. Your tokens are based on your share of that season’s total Genius Points. In Season 2, points come from daily pools split by each trader’s effective volume.

What Happens If I Missed Genius Season 1?

The Season 1 claim window closed in April 2026, so new users can’t earn Season 1 GENIUS. Season 2 is still distributing points, and a third season worth another 7% of supply is planned, so new traders can still qualify for future allocations.

When Can Season 1 Participants Unlock Their Locked GENIUS?

Users who took no action during the Season 1 claim window had their full allocation locked in a smart contract for one year. Those GENIUS tokens become claimable at 100% with no burn roughly one year after the April 2026 window closed.

Will There Be a Genius Season 3 Airdrop?

Yes. Genius has set aside 7% of the GENIUS supply for Season 3, making up the final part of the 21% community allocation. The start date and rules for Season 3 have not been announced.

Conclusion

Season 1 of the Genius airdrop is finished, and Season 2 now rewards traders through a daily GP pool tied only to effective volume. Steady spot trading, avoiding stablecoin pairs, and trading when platform activity is lower give you the best share per dollar.
